In my last article I went over the general theme of how I want the eUK to move forwards over the next month- continuity and stability. This is crucial with the delicate position both the eUK, and the wider eWorld, is in. In this article, I want to go more in depth into my policy in each area. I’ll also detail who I’ve picked to head up each ministry.
As I said a couple of days ago, my vCP will be our current CP, SerFartsalot: His experience with our recent foreign affairs, having been so key to it, will be invaluable to the eUK in ensuring our recent success continues. It would be foolish not to have him spearheading that side of our policy.
Okay, so the actual MoFA itself. Tasos Maximous will be continuing his work at the MoFA, supporting SerF and maintaining day-to-day relationships with other eCountries. Regarding general Forig policy for this month, I want to see us maintaining the neutral stance that has served us so well, refusing to rush into any formal alliances and continuing to fight hard for our closest allies.
Best Foreign Policy ever…
Not a lot to be said for the MoD, other than who is working in it this month. BrickTamland and CptChazbeard will be tasked with directing our damage, a role they’ve both done many times before and I’m sure they’ll get on just fine.
The Ministry of Education will be headed up this month by Rathena Gelc, who recently came in and has been doing a good job of cranking out some guides for the newbs. As I said in my first article, I’d like the MoEd to focus on both providing concise guidance for new players, and information on events globally through a kind of ‘BBC News’ article, giving eUKers a single concise news source. As with all ministries, the shape of the work done will be determined by Rathena, as long as productive stuff is happening, I’m happy.
Last but by no means least, the Finance Ministry, of which Huey George will be the lead minister here, with a track record of efficient work with our monies. We have a sizeable chunk of money in the country accounts, and I want to see us getting a chunk of that money on the MM market (with the gold price favourable) to try to generate some additional income. To safeguard our money against future nasty CPs, all money will be donated back to the Country Accounts at the end of term.
As well as generating some income, I’d like to see us looking at ways we can spend to help improve the eUK’s fighting ability, beyond the standard 60-day TG loans the MoF has traditionally offered. Whether this manifests itself in outright grants; or more forgiving, and larger, loans will be decided with discussion with Huey and Congress.
An excellent team of guys in my opinion. If you are interested in working in any of the ministries should I win, please contact the minister responsible, they're free to pick who works with them, I ain't gonna impose people on them.
Cheers,
Adastros

Funny gifs are the best measure of presidential potential
vCP? - current CP
MoFA? - current MoFA (helping vCP maintain status quo)
MoD? - "not a lot to be said for the MoD". Indeed.
MoEd? - current MoEd team member.
MoF? - Huey.
Interesting but uncosted TG grants scheme that someone else came up with? - dropped
"An excellent team of guys in my opinion" - absolutely correct, as they've all proven themselves to be more than able to do the respective jobs.
Which raises the question (again) - what will YOU do as CP? It sounds like you want to keep everything exactly as it is and let other more capable people do the work.
Well firstly, the grants idea is still there (also I don't know why you're convinced it was someone else's idea... its been in previous CP manifestos of mine.) You need to try reading the section entitled 'Finance'..
And secondly, it sounds like you're attacking me for picking a competent cabinet? I've been perfectly clear from the start that my platform was about continuity and staying on the (highly successful) FA path that we've been on for the last couple of months. Trying to criticise me for maintaining the status quo is a moot point, as that is exactly what I'm campaigning on.
And you seem to have a misconception that CPs play. Just because some CPs like to produce millions of bright ideas to try out (which a lot of the time fail) doesn't mean all do. Sometimes, its more important to do the basics right, which is where I stand. As for letting others do all the work, I've always believed in ministers leading their side of the government without the CP always on their case and setting out exactly what they want to do. I know what its like to have been a minister constantly being second guessed by a CP and that's not how I like to run things.
*misconception of the role that CPs play
So ideally Serf would stand for re-election then, which would save you the bother of having to stand and be a CP that does exactly the same as the last one?
Your manifesto can be condensed to "the last guy was great, so I'll get the same people to do the same stuff, while I sit back and collect my CP medal". It's not very catchy, but at least you're open about it.
And what is there to be said about the MoD? They'll set prios and co-ordinate our damage with allies... same as they do every month. Just because I don't use three paragraphs to say that doesn't make it any less true
Good luck!

great cabinet 😉 #ad4cp just wondering, who is doing MoHA for your term? should you win of course 😉
MoEd is the MoHA bro
got ua 😉
So basically government is exactly the same as last month, except you get 5 gold and a fancy title. Some people never change...
I'd much rather Ser Fartalot continue as CP, at least he actually does something.
We've been highly successful this month, what difference do you think needs to happen? (Not bitching just curious is all)
