Q: First of all, am I qualified?
A: If you are at least level 12 and have Norwegian citizenship you are already qualified!
If you're not quite there yet, we can still help you prepare. Keep reading!
Q: That sounds too easy. I've never been in politics before. Am I really qualified?
A: You are still qualified as long as you want to help do what is best for Norway. You are not intruding; you are actually filling a demand. Norway needs you.
Q: What does a Congress Member do?
A: The bare minimum: collect five gold each month and do absolutely nothing, missing out on EXP. It is unlikely to win this way, but unfortunately people still get away with this and Norway suffers because of it.
-OR-
A: Recommende
😛Vote on proposals. Each month you earn five gold and many Experience Points for voting, and Norway benefits! It's much more dependable income than playing the lottery.
Q: Nice, I get gold and experience?
A: Yes. You earn 5 gold (circa 450 NOK) and free Experience Points on each official proposal you vote on. In addition, you get 20 EXP for winning the congress elections!

Q: Why Teknokratene?
A: Teknokratene has served Norway the longest and holds the most political and game experience out of every party in the country.
A: We are active on IRC and the forums and love to help people learn how to help Norway. (If we didn't, why would we bother writing this article?)
A: A majority of Norway believes in our party and because of this, we now run the administration of the government (and have many times in the past).
A: Most importantly, we encourage cooperation with all talented individuals regardless of party affiliation. Even under other parties' administrations, the well-respected Teknokratene still hold prestigious political positions.
Q: This is my first time. I... I... I'm scared...
A: Relax, my dear. You will learn many things your first term. Eventually you will get the feel for it and everything will start feeling natural.

Q: Okay, I'm ready to do great things for my country. What's the next step?
A: Great! Follow these easy instructions.
1. If you're not already a member, join Teknokratene on the party page by clicking here:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/my-places/party
Even if this is not working for you, continue to step 2!
2. Introduce yourself to the friendly party president by clicking here:

3. You will receive free moving tickets and easy-to-follow instructions on how and where to run for congress to ensure your victory.
Lastly, by talking to us and receiving gifts and advice, we will also give you first priority over the limited congress seats. We would rather support a candidate we know than a stranger who has never tried talking to us! By using this philosophy, Norway can depend on Teknokratene to have the most active and informed congress members every term.
It is a rewarding and personally satisfying experience. The more confidence and promise you show the citizens with your abilities, you will eventually reach higher positions of responsibility and power including the presidency!
Remember, Teknokratene are the most experienced Norwegian politicians and we will always be here to help you.
All you need to do is take the first step; we'll help you the rest of the way.
Always outnumbered. Never outgunned.

Voted! Flott Artikkel!
This is a mighty flott article overflowing with sexiness. Voted!
Haha, I love that picture!
Nice article. Like the way how it's wrote 🙂 !
Indoktrinering og kommunisme. Nei takk
Stemt på! 🙂
lol
Ladies and gentlemen, denne ukens komiker: Eha Pappkriger!
If TeK political skills and activity was a reflection of your articulate propaganda, TeK would really be a good political party, unfortunately the comparison it is not even close.
But I agree with you, Norway really need more inactive Congressmen from Tek. You might talk the talk, but you most definitely do not walk the walk.
Please reflect on the following;
'Walk the walk' is almost always said in combination with 'talk the talk', for example, "if you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk", or "walk it like you talk it". This is a 20th century American alternative to various old sayings which epitomise the notion that 'talk is cheap', for example 'actions speak louder than words' and 'practice what you preach'. The context for the use of any of these expressions is in response to what is seen as empty boasting. People who are accused of such are said (in the USA) to 'talk a good game' or (in the UK) to be 'all mouth and no trousers'.
But in all fairness, your ability to write propaganda is not matched by anyone in eNorway.
@Xenius/Scorpicus: I had hoped my English reading comprehension abilities were as good as my writing until I encountered a dilemma. After thoroughly reading and re-reading through your comment, which you copied and pasted from "http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/walk-the-walk.html", I could not find any objective statements or facts to support your slander against Teknokratene, nor could I find any in Eha's previous post.
This very article you are reading states why Teknokratene is an ideal choice for a political party (please refer to section, "Q: Why Teknokratene?" for fact-supported details).
@Eha & Scorpicus: Teknokratene supports all talented individuals regardless of political affiliation. So far you have proven that time that Binary Party could have been spent serving Norway in vacant government positions is better put to use mudslinging at the feet of a benevolent campaign that aims to educate and empower Norway's citizens.
Please let me know if you stumble upon those misplaced facts to support your political attacks.
This would not be the time or the place to point out in details, all your errors as a Party.
And again with the vacant government positions, as we recieve little information in congress about your status in filling this up, all I know is that you still lack a minister of finance? But still, I do not see how it is our problem that your unable to fill your own government?
If you are as you say;
1. TeK is the Party with most political and game experience?
2. TeK is IRC active and forum active.
3. Tek have administration abilities.
I can assure you that an eventual BP government would be ready and filled within the first few days of the election. Your on the 14th day of this government, and you..... the Party with most political and game experience, have not managed to fill up 8(might be more) seats in a government?
How is this our fault, and why are you unable to do it? I would consider it a fairly easy task to fill a government.
Considering your new as Party President, it is not really your fault that Tek is poorly organized. If you want, I will teach you the basics of organizing. In return you could probably teach me how to spell.
Talk about sitting out? We are participating in the congress, we are alive. There are at most times more congressmen from BP in the congressional channels then there are members from TEK. I would state that you have more members that are “sitting” this one out then us.
I actually find it ridiculous that the biggest “most experienced” party with currently 15 congressmen and 92 fantastic members can’t fill the government positions?
And I do not understand how you can expect us to save your government? You made it pretty clear in the election that TeK would do a better job than BP, and that our work was "bad". Is it not reasonable that you get a chance to show that TeK actually can do what they promise? That you can deliver?
It is not too much to expect at all.
With all due respect, Andreas, Norway was under the impression that if they elected Tek, they would elect a capable government administration. I don’t see the results you promised Norway. All I see; what we started fade away as you are unable to keep it up.
Notable exception being K|ng, he is most excellent at running our armed forces.
I believe BP promised to continue our politics, the same one you decided to continue. The only difference being, we can actually do it, we have the manpower, we have the skills and we have the members to do it.
Faded away… Our politic will return, and it will be done right. We will actually deliver on what we promise, shocking right?
Slander and accusation… Most of this is what I consider facts, the same way you believe your own words to be the omnipotent truth. I guess it will be an interesting Presidential campaign with you as the candidate from TeK, as you have the ability to rewrite history as you see fit.
I am still expecting you to swing your magic pen, in a way that will make me cry.
For more discussion, feel free to contact me on IRC.
nice article, remarkable сomments
but the best party is KP
🙂 🙂 🙂
great article, join tt
I`d say only that talk is cheap, so you can say everything Stassi, but ppl in Norway see that nothing happens in country. You just use Cirno work, but have no ability to do something own (only K|ng is a exception as I see it from Congress).
@ areqw, How can you say that Stassi's not trying to do anything new? What about his project starting an org for the MoFA? and he also got a google calendar going so that we can keep track of events. I know for a fact that he has other projects he is working on too, which will be released to the public as soon as they are ready.
It has become apparent that the hostile sentiment Binary Party is brewing against my party must be met with greater force since BP has coordinated a smear campaign to derail Teknokratene's operations. My time administrating the government must be balanced wisely, so please forgive me if it takes a day or two to gather the historical citations I need for my upcoming statement; a practice these detractors are unfamiliar with.
Lots of tears. Sore losers is the weakest point of a society. In other words, BP is the weakest point of our society. Congrats on that! 🙂
Voted, good article. Join tt
Yes there was a lot of dissapointment after the election but the reason no one from Binary Party is this current government is not cause Eris is the president. The reason is simply that we have worked hard since we started this party in trying to help the Norway prosper. We have done a lot of hard work in trying make positive changes for our country.
But when Teknokratene in one simple election can take pretty much our entire politics and run with it as their own and win. Then we have done something wrong and we will have to make sure that that does not happen again.
So therefore all the politicians from BP is prioritising party politics instead of national politics
Nice article vote + subscribe
