[Mittekemuis for RB] Foreign & Defence Policy manifesto

Day 1,623, 11:00 • Published in Belgium Belgium • by mittekemuis




Like I promised in you in my announcement, I will be publishing my manifesto’s for the upcoming month.



You may ask yourself why does she put those two departments together. I will tell you why. It is my believe that both departments are very much related to each other in a small country like eBelgium. Both have more to do with diplomacy than warfare.

For example:
What does the Minister of Foreign Affairs do? He searches for MPPs with other countries. Tries to find the best suited MPPs for eBelgians to fight for.
What does the Minister of Defence do? He talks to the Ministers of Defence in the countries we have MPPs with to determine where we should but our Campaign of the Day.

I will start out this term by nominating both a Minister of Foreign Affair and a Minister of Defence but if it look like there is not enough activity in both departments I will chose the best of the two and make him/her Mister of both departments.



Working of the department

I would like to implement an envoy system where envoys get specific task rather than tedious ambassadors reports that none reads.
The envoy system has been implemented in the eUK under my leadership has been proven a very good way to work. Envoys get tasks which they complete in a certain period of time. I realise we don’t have the amount of people to work in the department as there are in the UK but still I think we can manage at least 4 or 5 envoys.

What do I expect from the Minister and envoys:

* A standard message to all the eCountries with congratulations for the newly elected CP/PM and at the same time sending them our cabinet and irc channels where people can reach the department and an invite to a meeting where we invite all Mofa in # eBe_MoFA just to socialise.
* See more interviews appear in the eBelgium press. Not only done by the minster but also as envoy tasks. The envoys can publish in their own newspaper and get credit for the work they have put in with votes and subscriptions.
* Scanning the media and post interesting links on the forum. Each envoy will get specific countries or continents.



Military protection Pacts

It is the job from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to search for MPPs. But on this point I would like to see the MoFa department and MoD department talking more with these countries. When there is a better communication we can be more efficient in helping each other.



Neutral vs alliance

This country has been divided for many many months on this topic. I could go and look in to the history to see we have shifted from one end to the other. Some month more TEDEN some more ONE. All depended a bit on who was in charge that month and how congress was assembled. Fact is we have been invaded by France and The Netherlands which are respectively in TERRA and EDEN. On both occasions ONE and even more proONE(EPIC)countries were needed to safe eBelgium from wiping.
For now eBelgium is booked as proONE country due to the fact we still have all ONE MPPs from the war with eNL.

I know the current President is holding a poll about neutrality or not, and I will work with the outcome off of this survey.
* If and when we chose to be truly neutral we will need a month to pass all but one or two ONE MPPs and we will sign one or two TEDEN MPPs. The main goal will be to insure we all have enough wars to fight in.
* If the people chose for following an alliance we will be signing a lot of MPPs and I will than propose to join EPIC if I find people willing to be active enough to work inside such an alliance. If not we can still sign enough ONE-proONE MPPs to fight in and just get the mark proONE.




Logistics

eBelgium has a National army structure with funding by the State.

First you have BTA for the newer players until they reach 1250 strenght.
- BTA gets 20% of the monthly tax income.

BNA is where you go when you are to strong for BTA. Currently there are only 20 places available but we are working on a better amount. BNA needs you to work in a military factory and as payment you get Q6 tanks to fight with.
- BNA gets 350 000 BEF a month

The para’s are the elite force for eBelgium. The places are very limited.
- The Para’s get each more or less 62 gold per month (2 gold per person per day)

The BCA hold the most eBelgian citizens.
- they get no state funding.

Besides that the government has also the “Boost your strength” project.



Tecuvo has been given the BNA after the previous commanders resigned their post.
I have been in close contact with Tevuco and stand by his decision on the way he will reform and organise the BNA.
- New avatars or in the making
- Minister of Defence is to become BNA commander.
- Minister of Finance and Minister of Foreign affairs will be seating in HC
- Soldiers will receive Q6 tanks for the damage they really do. That means Pulls or an other tool to supervise the soldiers will be ask to be install by every soldier. If they refuse they will not get any supplies.

The finer details will be published by Tevuco.



Wars and daily orders

*I will be demanding a daily newspaper article with orders aswell as reports on the progress on the various army branches.
* The MoD newspaper is due for a make over so I will ask the MoD to launch a request/competition to come up with a new layout.



Working with other nations

For this topic I will be referring to the MoFa part of this manifesto where I wrote that I want both MoD and MoFa talking with the countries we have MPPs with. As long as we are not a member of an alliance we have to rely on this to coordinate orders.
