[NoTie4CP] Make Holland Great Again?

Day 2,873, 05:19 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by NoTie112
Dear citizens,

As many have noticed or heard, I'm running for Country President of The Netherlands. You can see the five previous medals shining on my medal and one could ask: Isn’t it tiring? Are you still be motivated or will you just live of your previous accomplishments?

None of that is the case. With each consecutive presidential term I’ve had, I feel ambition to keep the Netherlands growing stronger and more relevant in eRepublik. In a broader context, that will be the main goal of my term in October. Yes, let’s make the Netherlands great again (dun, dun, bad Donald Trump quote).


No, I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump, or any Republican


But we’re already great!
Now, the Netherlands will not start on a new sheet with my presidency; many of the current accomplishments have been made over the past few months under many great governments. Simply put, the reshuffling of our resources and the fact that I’ve invested millions of cc in the eNetherlands had made it possible for us to claim some glory in this game.

The ingredients were laid for a Netherlands that would finally be an independent country and that could exert (minor) power over our enemies and in favour of our allies on the battlefield. The recent governments have indeed acted upon that goal and the results are clear. We have invested massively in our foreign affairs and as a result have mutual protection pacts with many allied countries and at times are a key partner in defeating enemies (e.g. Croatia last month, Germany and Italy earlier). For the first time in history countries are actually asking us for their help, instead of us only whining to the big boys to get noticed. Just last week, we managed to successfully invade the United Kingdom - a country 5 times our strength - in cooperation with our good friends from Hungary and Canada.

So what's next?
Nothing too radical really. I plan to continue transforming The Netherlands into a country that is war-ready, efficient and able to push above our small size. I will contribute all my personal money for this goal, just like I did the previous few months. Our ministries will be centralized to just the Ministries of Home Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Defence and Finances to shift some focus from our exaggerated focus on domestics instead of playing the actual game of eRepublik. Our current MPP stack will be upheld and possibly even further increased. We will try to hold on to our new colonies in the United Kingdom while we still can, but only when this is rational: We can't hope to permanently occupy those lands. Even with the loss of these lands, I will guarantee our flag will fly to war regularly.
Kind regards,

NoTie112,
Presidential Candidate
