Dear fellow citizens,
I intend to be taking care of business.
Foreign Affairs:
- Negotiate an agreement with Hungary for their occupation of Southern and Western Netherlands. We have been good friends with them in the past, even loaning them 200g during the mighty battle of Hello Kitty. I believe we should restore our old ties to them.
- Increase regional stability and cooperation. A focus on increased diplomacy with Spain, Norway and France, while maintaining good relations with Belgium, UK and Germany. It is key for all smaller western European nations to maximalize our influence on larger neighboring nations through combined diplomatic and military effort.
Defense:
- On a meta-level, our citizens do not receive as much information on the battles we fight as the cabinet could give. There will be daily articles with an explanation regarding the importance of the battle and how the outcome would influence the world.
- Irc-activity directly ties into the community feeling that keeps people engaged in erepublik. The exact setup is still in the works, but soldiers will be more engaged and more rewarded through presence on irc.
Home Affairs:
- Moving away from looking for reasons to not accept an application, I want to decline all citizenship applications unless there is a very good reason to accept them. Many countries are being Balkanized and once that happens it is a long run to get them out again.
- Writing a new lawbook will also be started and finished during this term. The current version is full of loopholes and sections can be interpreted in multiple ways. We need clarity to prevent bickering between parties and to create equality for all citizens.
In the bigger picture, there can be all kinds of events that require us to take appropriate action when they happen. I am confident I will provide the best possible outcome, and I already see things brewing that might turn this in quite the eventful term! Rest assured that when matters become more certain, there will be full transparancy and discussion before any important decisions are made.

Supported!
Good Luck.... o/
Looking forward for the lawbook.
All other 'plans' are just the same crap again 😛
Hopefully the lawbook thing can actually be done. I'm not sure it will in one term (looking at the past attempts) but perhaps this time would be different! 🙂
I agree with both the foreign and home affairs plans as well.
This especially: "There will be daily articles with an explanation regarding the importance of the battle and how the outcome would influence the world."
It's a very good idea in my opinion but that is going to require a lot of time and effort. I hope it happens though if you are elected! 😃
Good luck!
Surprise to see you want to improve relations with Norway. But I applaud that.
Being more critical on whom we accept has my full support. I fear however we will differ in opinion weather or not there is a good reason. Examples of players I wouldn't (have) accept(ed)? D2G/Samproidz for instance talks a lot but doesn't deliver and keeps hopping nations. Konrad is a player that only gives a lot of unrest on forum and is hardly ever seen in game. Also a CS hopper. What would your opinion be?
Those are players we already know, so I would probably let them in. It does bring a shift in the balance of political power though, I'm not too fond of that. Dutch politics should be done by Dutch players.
I agree on the latter but don't understand why knowing someone qualifies as being a good reason to let them in.
@Weekstrom: I guess Garmr means that they are former eNL citizens, who didn't do eNL harm then, so in a sense they have proven to be trustworthy.
It's not only about doing harm if you ask me. If they don't add anything usefull and only cause a lot of discussions that lead nowhere we can do without and focus efforts on matters that do help us further.
2DG is RL Dutch, so I see no reason to refuse him CS, even if he leaves again soon thereafter. It's not like we're short on CS tickets. But isn't he dead?
Konrad thus far has behaved himself afaik. We know we can trust him, and he definitely makes sure things don't get boring. Whether that's always a bad thing I'm not really sure... I'm inclined to say that atm it isn't negative.
But also Konrad was expat, so he was free to enter without discussion...
Garmr makes a valid point about immigrants having some political power. But if they're worthy of entering based on their other qualities, I guess they deserve these rights. They're part of eNL, even if they're not RL Dutch.

Perhaps he temporarily is. He's been that before and then came here, made a lot off noise, tried to become CP, failed and left again. Coming back at least twice, trying to become CP (for I&W) at least once. Come to think of it; A lot of the players acting sort off the same seem to be joining that party (or are tied to it from the past). Mind you; Several DO add value to our nation but thinking off it the ones popping to mind are mostly linked to I&W.
And if players add something useful; By all means let them in!

I think that's an association based on political opponentship. 2DG joined I&W because we spoke out against vS, Konrad joined I&W because we were (most) active and we already had contact with him when he was in German politics. And for the record, we differ in opinion on 2DG as he also had been a quite active minister before there was friction between him and vS (after which he did become an overreacting little boy, agreed there).
I actually did argue later on that I would not have even let Konrad in the first time if it was up to me and I hadn't known him.
It's especially the little boy I dislike garmr 😉
I think that, when we would go sit together, we would not even have such big differences on several matters.
