Join the new world

While Foreign and Military affairs are very important department in a war game, I think eBelgium has to have a very strong domestic office.
We are no big conquerors and we are not the country people look for help when it comes to winning battles, nonetheless we are still like in RL, a proud and independent nation. To stay proud and independent we must work really hard in aiding players and be in cohesion with our fellow countrymen.



Logistics

Our country has already a lot of good programs running at the moment. I will just sum them up for you.

1. Citizen packs : Citizen packs are donations in the form of 20 Q6 foods and 4 Q6 guns.
They can be requested each day on this forum by belgian forum members.

2. Boost your strenght : To take advantage of this program you need to fill out a few criteria such as being level 25. Have a Q5 town center, a Q2 basic training ground and a Q2 climbing center. When you have all that you can request it weekly. You get a weekly donation in BEFs that you will have to use to buy gold on the monetary market in order to pay his climbing center training cost. Be aware that this will be under control so you will have to have a strenght increase or you will be kicked of any citizen program.

3. IRC civilian raids are done each Wednesday night between 20h and 22h gmt+1. You will receive 25 q6 foods and 6 q6 guns to do a free 30 hits on the battlefield, and we will all fight together.

4. Land subsidies

1) Q4 raw subsidies: this is for the younger players as well for the progressed player with eBe citizenship. The difference is the younger player gets more money.
2) Storage: every player from level 10 and up can request 500BEF to buy 1 storage. This can only be done once.
3) Town center: when you have met all the criteria and can prove it you can request for the necessary BEF to upgrade your townhall. This subsidy can be asked for every upgrade of town halls.

5. PULSE subsidy: eBelgian citizens that use or start using PULSE can request a "PULSE Subsidy" of 1,000 BEF.

...and last but not least there is the Belgian lottery where you can win money 🙂

If you elect me as Country President I will keep on doing these programs. If and when we have the budget we can maybe extend/upgrade some of them.



We can still do better!

The Ministry of Home affairs can do so much more in my opinion.

* Like for example start by seeking out new players. The minister or one of his deputies can go look for new players who entered the game and list them up for people to see. Citizens can send those new players a friends request and if you have the time also a welcome message with some links these players need to find their way in eBelgium.
I will ask of the Minister of Home affairs to draft such a welcome message so you only have to copy/past it from the forum.

* I want to see a lot of new tutorials posted ingame and on the forum.

* I would like to see the Minister of Home affairs organise charity drives at least every two weeks where he collects food and weapons which can be given out on the forum.



Fun and games

eBelgium has been building on a solid foundation of fun and games on the eBelgian forums. I hope to see this continued and maybe even extended through ingame games and contests.
Using the press module we can reach those players who are not/not yet active on the forum.



Immigration

I would like to propose a change in the procedures of immigration. Instead of asking advice by congress with the final vote for the minister of Home affairs I would like to see a committee gets chosen by congress. Anyone can put his candidature for becoming a member of the immigration committee and congress can vote. The committee will exist of 3 members. They will look meticulous in too the citizen application before deciding it is safe to enter the country.
When an applicant is denied I would like to see the committee send a pm to that person with a polite motivation why his or her candidature is not withholding




Money, money and again money. You can never have enough money.
I want the State to help out its citizens as much as possible. Either through citizen projects and/or through funding the military, everything comes with a certain cost.
I will depending on the knowledge and judgement of the Minister of Finances. According to his bookkeeping we will be able to raise or reduce the funding or keep it at a current pace.

I will be asking at least 3 published rapports from my Minister of Finances. One at the beginning a progress report and an end evaluation.



Thank you again for reading and I want to remind that you can still apply for a post in my cabinet. Send me an ingame or forum pm.
