If I was President...
Chihiroh
Nono I'm not running! 😛
That is the name of a song from Wyclef Jean actually, go ahead and check it. 🙂
Not my usual type of music. But it got me thinking, what would you do if you were President?
Most of us will never honour that golden Presidential chair with our lazy bottom, nor get that shiny medal that would give your profile that tiny peps needed to come back and drown all of your eFriends in jealousy. Why, well, partly because all those shiny rewards seem to bear a curse of unthankfulness and bitter criticism, to a point where we all sit down and try to realize how mad the people like MaryamQ are that volunteer for a second tour. That is, if their Party President doesn't threaten them with the most painful odds behind the screens.
Others just don't have the time, too busy messing work with annoying husbands and even pouring those noisy drops called children to top it off. Not the cake you want to eat with a cup of Presidential vinegar if you ask me. And most often those people just don't run because they love their unimportant tiny attention-crybaby of an eNation. They don't want it to suffer the torments of their own daily lives and to be badly led.
...but that doesn't mean you don't have the potential for it! Several times I saw people pinch a tiny spark of an idea from their imagination! I imagine the coloured flames of passion in their eyes when they try to imagine what a wonderful idea or concept it could become if they had the time and motivation to get elected. Sadly, that little slip-away of a daydream is too often ignored, and those sparks thrown back in the abyss of their minds with a dying grin.
And who knows, maybe that burning bit of an idea has the destiny put the whole country ablaze and let it be reborn stronger than ever. Or maybe was it the one gasping only to set that stake afire that would gather all the patriots and exhort them to forget their quarrels to stay united and happy together. Imagine if it was that spark that had as sole purpose to enlighten the face of that young and unrevealed talent that would soon become a leader of sorts ready to drive eBelgium through eHistory.
With this article I intend to go against the waste of such ideas, because every single one of them has its value. Sometimes they come through, but way too often they go past unnoticed by the community or even their creator.
So, close your eyes for a minute and imagine. In a world with no lack of time or respect, you decide to run and get elected in cheers. What will you do? What will you change? What will make the country remember you as the greatest CP of all times?
And as always, thanks for reading 🙂

How about you change your name to Yannis again 😛
You don't like my name 😨 ?
I liked your previous name more 😛 to confusing now 😁
I would... I would... erf, I need more than a minute to imagine and make up my mind. Hold on, I'll be back later !
Oh ok, I know ! This is what I would do if I were President :

My song 😛
Here's something :
I would stop the wars for eBelgium and promote a world peace for all countries.
Then I'll ask eRepublik to switch the weapon factories into toy factories. We assume that the countries with the biggest toy factories would have the happiest citizens, and thus have better resources (because a happier man works better, and then produces better).
That would be a good start.
Bu then which toys? Would war toys be allowed? Doesn't toys lead to hypersexualisation of society, but increasing the gap between genders even more? And Barbies, are they allowed to have unrealistic forms? A whole new Toy Story begins!
LOL a Q7 s*xtoy factory would be the max
In GTA San Andreas, you can collect sextoys. What a concept!
Well, I would probably raise myself to Dictator and force everyone to name their newborns after me, put some big statues of myself in amazing poses, marry some Super Models and last but not least give everyone some Blink-182 🙂
=> They'll always remember me (and if not, I just kill a whole bunch of people : ))
Tl;dr 😛

I would like to see the people in our political activities. To be a congressman is good, but I think any citizen of eBelgium should have a voice. If I were president, I would oftenly ask for the people opinion, especially about things that concern the whole eCountry (Wipe, Training Wars...).

Nobody cares about this game, people just want gold for their upgrades😁
(except MaryamQ who's the good in person)
