With the momentum of the victory in Guateng, it is not time to let that momentum fade. I have utmost respect for the other candidates that will be running for the Presidency, but I believe myself to be the best man for the job, both in terms of experience, my ability govern dynamically and my ability to think out of the box.

My Qualifications

-2 x President of eSouth Africa
-1 x Vice President of eSouth Africa
-Advisor to President Grimstone
-Commander of the Pretorian Vanguard
-Military Advisor to S.A.I.L
-6 x Time Congressman of eSA

Reading through those two historical articles posted by me during my previous terms as President proves my track record as CP. Through policies implemented by me and a commitment to fixing foreign relations that were left in tatters, My administration managed to regain the trust, respect and support of our allies. We were a country that lived in fear. I worked hard to change the attitude of the country, and help the country be a entity that will not stand for tyranny.

Throughout my time in this game, I have been here, involved in eSouth African affairs. I have a deep understanding for the people. No one will accuse me of being against eSouth Africa. I consider myself a patriot.

What to expect from me
eSouth Africa is not the same place that it used to be. The Huns have tainted this nation. True eSouth Africans battle to get their articles into the Top 5, this in turn results in a very low article count from us. Forum activity could be greater, our population and voting base definitely needs to be bigger. No doubt, with the Liberation of Guateng, and the access we will have to the new players born into this vital region, we will see these things approve. We need however to capitalise on our current situation in the best possible manner.

If Elected in the forum vote, but not in-game: I will be seeking the creation of lines of communication with Foreign Ministers in allied countries and their eSouth African counterparts.

I will work hard with eSouth Africans, and allies to create assets that will assist our government in improving the everyday experience of the game for true eSouth Africans. I will also actively be seeking ways to make the Hungarian aggressors live less bearable.

I will not be placing Directors into cabinet. I will only be placing Ministers. If a Ministry sees the need to have a Department below them, it will be up to the Ministers discretion to create it, elect the director and decide on its functions. The people that I will be working with are smart and very capable. I will not dictate to them how they should do their Job. This will be more in-line with how a Resistance should operate. It will streamline a inflated governmental structure.

I will continue to commit our Armed Forces to assist in the fight against PHX. I will however not dis-regard negotiations with the alliance. Unfortunately, negotiating with the enemy usually is never a win for the party that initiated the negotiations. I will never EVER let eSouth Africa be a footstool to any other nation. I don’t care if they are PHX or EDEN, we are a free people, who have fought hard for our freedom, and that can never be traded away.

I will dedicate a large amount of time to baby-booming operations. Again, for this to work we need to learn from our allies. They have done this before, We need to see what mistakes they made, and what victories were achieved.

There will need to be a major focus on Social Development, Foreign Relations and Military. Social Development needs to development our younger players, making sure that they do not give up on the game, Foreign Affairs needs to keep our country in good standing with our allies and the military needs to cement those relationships by assisting our allies when they call on us.

If Elected on the forum and In-Game: I will work with congress, business and citizens to fix what the Hungarian’s have ruined. We need to fast tract the revitalisation of out wondrous nation.

Defending our nation from future aggression will need to be greatly explored. We can not afford to have our nation raped like it has been so many times in the past. The country needs to become a icon of stability, a jewel in the eWorld. With a military that is ready to act, our relationship with our allies, who are ready to defend us, and the High Activity levels of our very own citizens and voting base we can achieve this Utopia. This needs not only be a dream, It can be a reality.

Closing
I ask eSouth Africa to once again put their faith with me. Walk with me as brothers and sisters of this great nation. Together we can achieve the impossible. We have done it before. I will dedicate myself to this countries service, and as proven by my track-record I will not let you down.

Mark Morcom
