Does Norway need Politicans, Generals or a mix of both?

Warning!:
This article touches subjects such as politics and how things look like they are being run. Take no offense and do not respond with violence of my opinions. Contrary, you can discuss my opinions in the comment section or in private with each others.
A question struck me while i looked at the map and the current land that we have. It seems like power house countrues do not have that much political power but what they do have are generals. The countries that are still high up in the rank, but dont fight, are politicans that are bribing and somehow, securing their countries independence (Sweden as a referance). Looking at the state of Norway it seems that we have three options to look for. I will discuss all the potentials and as usual, look at it with a critical and a sarcastic way
Politics - Ticket to Madness:
We can all agree on the fact that the current goverment and the other parties, are divided into groups which are pretty spotabale. You got the Green Energy folks, which are looking at this aspect on a natural side (not so good knowing that the world is practically on fire). There are the liberation party which sound like they are a group of Rambos, but are not. You have the economic party which consist of people that want money and are gonna send the country, not to hell, but beyond. Last but not least you have the current goverment that is run in a fairly neutral/war kind off way.
Generally, all these parties have great opinions, but frankly, being seperated and not being one party is what that makes this current goverment bad. Yes, you can debate on the fact that some parties would have not contributed with anything, but knowing that all of the countries supporters are with you, can help you on the long run.
Anyways back on track, being a politican is not about having rigth ideas about how to run things, but rather what you can contribute with to the world. Are you going to help Russia seize China or are you gonna help Croatia take over China? Are you going to increase the average rate of oil production by maiking oil, or are you going to make cattle areas and focus on that? Everything is run on that point of angle and if thats how the game is, then lets play by it.
But politicians are always greedy and a little hint of wealth and power, can drive any man crazy to make some of the worst decisions. Because of this, it does not matter if you have been here for a week or for a year, but it all boils down to the fact that you can keep your head cool. Therefore, i think that this country is not going to advance that well, unless you assemble a new party consisting of people that keep their heads cool all the time.
The advantage of all this, is that greedy people can make economic deals that can benefit the country in one way or another
The bad side is that it is a risky job and frankly, you cant trust that many people due to this
Generals - Arms Race enthusiasts:
Ah who could forget the Generals? People with so much power that they lead the country into wars and spend millions into forging a army which can survive the decades or be stopped in matter of hours. The people that show balls but instead get slapped by a dick and told that "you cant go up against us".
This is the daily life of many generals and frankly, these people are the ones that we often need. We always need this one, Winston Chruchill, that only emerges when the country has problems or helps out when the country has declared war and are taking hits.
The problem is though, that once the dust has settled and he is still in control, where do you think the country will go then? Do you think he knows what to produce or cares about who to ally with? Does he even know what talking means and can actually be polite, then making fun of the Green Team by calling them hippies and so on?
Most likely, no, but there is one thing they could do:
Compete in a yearly round of The Arms Race!
A family friendly competion with your friends such as the USA and Croatia where you can see who throws the most money into a well that has lava in it. You know for a fact that the money is being burnt but you do wanna see who can win, right? Hopefully, you win and scare the others into giving up land. Or they can always end your life but well, you did win the race.
Fun right? Well thats up for you to look at, but we have to move on.
The Mix - The Devil with the Devils Flame Supplier:
Here we are, the option that most of us are gonna chose no matter what, the mix. Because who wouldent like a potato and a potata?
In reality, this is what that is going with our current goverment, but it seems like someone has taken a doze of steroids and forgotten the other part. Techically, there are ment to be no flaws and its ment to be the "perfect option" but its not.
It is actually a more riskier option then the other because you are now, mixing both of them into a giant ticking time bomb that can only be delayed but never fully stopped. If you think it can be stopped, then man you would have had to check out his history for quite a while.
This combination often makes a country go good for a long time and im saying a long time. If he is the right guy then there is nothing to worry about, but in the end it is also, the most safest choice for the start. Belive it or not, but a mix in the start, will actually make the country go decent and might even, save us from many problems. By being tactical and saying the right things, we can actually be guranted a safe time and a safe zone.
But a wish is not that easy to fulfill, now is it?
If i were to honestly choose someone, it would probly be the mix. But in the current state and the how the world is going, i would choose the Politician after my stastistic analysis and research on the world.

I like your spirit but theres a few things to point out here.
-The Greens have been very pro-active and I think you need to look at party policies a lot more before judging any parties. We look at things on the natural side? Well considering we are playing a web browser game there is no way we can look at things on a natural side, its not like we have the option to cut down a forest in erepublik.
-You never mentioned Tek, I have a feeling your another one of MdR's "nephews"
-The current government has representatives from pretty much every party. In small nation like this we need to work together which is why our Congress and appointed Representatives work together here.
-The Generals as you call them hold little actual power. Our state MU needs direct orders to be allowed to even spend cash on battles.
Ahh i see ... it was not alot i could find out single-handedly but i must thank you on this valuabale information and comment. Well you got a point with green power but one way to be more eco-ish is to have a eco-economy which i think you know what means?
Also, i did not mention Tek due to the fact that it seemed like a okey party and did not have anything against it, and the fact that i could not find that much. Btw im not so sure on what you mean about a MDR nephew but be my guest and comment the meaning and i will reply in full honesty
I recently noticed that and i withdraw that information and statement (oraly said, not from the article).
Aha, okay but at least i know how it works haha 🙂 had to make a statement like that due to the fact that some countries adore the General position more than others and rank it high
Yet again, thank you for the comment
Here are some tutorials for you to go over. http://tinyurl.com/kd8os52
As well here is the current government. http://tinyurl.com/nk83pte
You can see its a mix of parties.
Interesting article Jan. I doubt we have real generals here in eNorway, at least not of the caliber they have in f.e. Serbia or Croatia, so we have to do with politicians mainly. Although in my own case I do not view myself as a politician nor as a general.

You are a politician to the core my friend.
I think 10x in Congress and 14x as CP (literally you have been a CP for more than 1 year in RL) speaks volumes. You keep trying to say your not a politician, but you can't argue with your own medals.
There is nothing wrong with being a politician, its apart of the game. Its a game with many different formats. War, politics, social, and writing. You happen to utilize 3/4 of those very well. Nothing to be ashamed of, its all apart of our little world.
O I sure am proud of my many achievements, but with modesty. And on many of those occassions I've been asked to lead the country, not that it was something I had to do for myself.
btw, Jan and myself are not relatives, but it's nice that you thought so. 😉
I never met him before today, and think he hints to being Irish in rl?
Yes. Just because a article says something and makes critical points to something that you are, does not neccesarily mean you change your identity. Be proud of what you are doing and respond to all comments towards you in a neutral and diplomatic way because hey, your a politican right 😉 ?
Im Norweigan to the hearth my friend. You should be lucky im not going pro-nationalist in this game hahahaha 🙂
He is RL Norwegian as it turns out.
And many of those times you also had lots of opposition. You never could of been elected that many times without a following. Only a smart leader and politician would be able to build a following that was able to sustain 14months as President. Just come out of the closet already.
YOUR A POLITICIAN AND YOU ARE PROUD!
Noop, no closet here. Just a wide-open space that I'm viewing. 😉
Don't forget that at one time I lead a country for 6 consecutive months, not only supported by my own party but by all major parties back then. I view myself more as a leader then a politician, but perhaps it's both. Although not every politician is also a leader. 😉
You speak from experience I see 🙂
