Sorry it's taken so long to get this out, I'm just starting a new job and have been spending my free-time trying to put the pieces together, so there just hasn't been time to put pen to paper.
Firstly, I want to talk about Foreign Policy.
This is not a subject I, myself, am particularly strong on but after having talked to my Secretary of State pick I can fill you in on our general aim this month. I feel like America has walled itself into an incredibly boring position and, as much as that is the safest play, I don't think it's paying off. In a game such as this, success like we have achieved is as punishing as being occupied in the long-term.
Either way, you're going to suffer the attrition of people getting bored and moving on.
I don't want to do anything drastic and, in fact, might not do anything different from what we have been doing at all. I don't think invading a country for the sake of 'war = fun' is a good strategy. War can be fun, but it has to be the right war.
I want to take some risks and I want to put us in the position where we can find ourselves fighting that 'right' kind of war. It might not even be possible to get us even very close, in one term, but I want to shift things around and I want to get into a place where things can be interesting again.
That's not the safest play and, not gonna lie, it might mean 6 months down the line we end up being wiped. That is certainly not the idea, but those are the risks when you try to move mountains in the shifting sands of geopolitics.
I would like to reiterate, I am not talking about taking risks for the sake of taking risks. I am talking about taking the kind of risks it takes to put us in a more interesting position than we're currently in. However, as it stands, we're in a safe position and I think it's killing us.
So, lets get to something much more boring and, ironically, the thing everyone has been waiting for; my staff.

Kuudere-type Maho Shoujo: rainy sunday
I picked this staff, not because I believed it would deliver me party nominations or votes; it might in some ways but, if that were what I really wanted to do, I think I could have made better picks.
No, I picked this team because it's a team of diverse opinions and people who are competent in their positions. If I win, this is going to be a hard month and I need all hands on deck and I want a team that doesn't need training wheels, but one that will bonk heads with each other until the best ideas fall out.
If it takes me picking a team I don't believe is as strong to win, I'd rather lose.
Sorry I didn't include a lot of pictures and fancy page breaks but that's all a lot of bullshit I don't care about. So... not really sorry, to be honest. :3

A change on Foreign Policy is needed.
You lost me at Kemal as VP....
I'd rather lose a vote for a stupid reason than gain a vote for being stupid myself.
I've got to agree FS 😛
FA is probably the last 'fun' thing to do in this damn game. I has absolutely no game mechanic and is totally meta and admin can do nothing about it. This is simply people talking with other people trying to find an arrangement that is best for your position while being acceptable to all.
War on the other hand is something that is statically planed, requires organization of many commands and leaders. The game mechanics are rooted in the war page. It can be honed down to a boring formula that "works every time". (I know, in that formula there is always variable X that makes you plan ultimately fail. Meh, nothing is perfect!)
That's where you can take a page out of the Canadian playbook... Random AS! When we got bored the cabinet PM would start buzzing and sooner or later someone would suggest we AS XYZ country. Sooner rather than later we usually started a war for no apparent reason other than lulz. Everyone would get all exited and jump on board.
Just a thought. 🙂
We've tried doing that and, honestly, it's not much fun.
I think the problems are two-fol😛 First, we only fight battles we are certain we can win. This is rationally correct; Sun Tzu tells us a victorious soldier wins first and then goes to war, etc. Entertainment is not a rational calculation of who we can easily knock over, though. If there is no threat and no challenge, there is no fun. See: Spain.
The other problem is that countries we would very much like to fight are blocked off from us due to the MPP's we currently carry. These keep us safe, but also lock us out of doing pretty much anything engaging.
To be fair, im liking something of USA, how many serious candidacies are? 3?
Not many countrys have that... its actually nice to see not all communities are "dead".
Yes, it's shaping up to be quite an interesting election, too. 😁
I though no country had alredy two serious candidates... having three looks like a miracle xD.

Sec of Greeling Affairs: as George sTrolls
Thanks, what kinda affairs does Greeling have?
He wants to rule the world

Only Dio owns this world so maybe
Would it be fair to say then that it is the Dioist against the (e)unworthy? Cause I have been calling them stinking elitest,, unworthy does resonate more truth
