[Garmr4CP] De dag die je wist dat zou komen

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Dear fellow citizen,
Innate to our virtual existence is the belief that the present is the worst situation we have ever been in. We boldly move forward whilst reminiscing a glorious moment, we curse against Plato and wage war against neighbors. It is false to believe in that current state of dystopia. Compared to the 'glory days' of V1, we have a much more stable monetary system and our soldiers have never been equipped this well (for comparison: tanks in V1 still often fought with Q1 weapons). V1 gave us peace and freedom, but we too easily forget it also gave us zero wars in three years. The crisis our nation faces is not the occupation by Poland, the real crisis is the failure to envision the possibility for improvement within our society, dependent on ourselves exclusively.
As Oscar Wilde sai
😛"Progress is the realisation of Utopias." 2014 brought us a lot of improvements, but I see stagnation and a clinging to outdated policies and dogmatic opinions. I intend to give our nation the boost it needs, and there is only one position from which a man can do so honorably. I therefore officially announce that I step into the ring as the I&W candidate for the upcoming presidential elections.
I plan to make two new significant changes, one to our foreign policy and one to our domestic policy. To convince someone of the truth, it is not enough to state it, but rather one must find the path from error to truth. I will therefor not announce them today, but in a later article where I can present all the details, so you can evaluate them with as much knowledge of the subject as I perceive to have.
Next to this I would also aim to speed up the process of rewriting the law book and assist in any way possible. It has been a thorn in my eye to see it's current poor state compared to when it was first rewritten by the capable hands of broersje and Hindrik (now Viglius), with a little help from myself in terms of proofing it against loopholes and ambiguity.
A final and minor point is to make some adjustments in the executive structure in various ways to aid in improving intra- and inter-executive communications (e.g. no more loss of possibly useful data in group pm's). If you want to be a part of my cabinet, send me a message and I will find you a position. All parties and experience-levels are welcome.

Good luck!
For all you foreigners unversed it the art of the Dutch language, and for the Dutch who are unfamiliar with our national pinnacle of political satire; 'geen gezeik, iedereen rijk' translates to 'no complaints, everyone wealthy' and is taken from van Kooten & de Bie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenpartij

Many positions.
Much experience.
I dare to say 'rich' is a better translation of 'rijk', than 'wealthy' is.
How would you translate wealthy to Dutch then? 😛
I'd consider both rich and wealthy as stimulus synonymous, but it may look better in writing. I tried thinking of an English rhyming translation but that didn't happen.
I think the Obvious choice for 'wealthy' would be 'welvarend'. But you are right, they are quite synonymous and its without your liberty as a poet to make your own choice.
Welvarend? I don't really sail that well though!
The root of the word appears to be quite different, I actually don't think there is a Dutch equivalent for it.
I think the similar root can be found in the word 'weelde'.
the only sensible choice 🙂

>> You dont have earned that medal yet
Its a pity you dont want to share your plans (yet). No plans means no vote for me.
Good luck with the elections.
"You dont have earned that medal yet"
Are you're sure.. haha, I applied on the forum though, I figured you wouldnt nitpick on the obvious. Antiko stole my 5th CP medal in feb '11 as proven here http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-cp-presidential-matters-1670757/1/20
Strange story. How can someone steal a CP medal. 😛
