Meet Congress! Meet the All-Stars.
Hazelrah
First of all I would like to express my gratitude to Kemal and his concern for national security regarding the Lazokrats. While I share iNCi's concerns about the GROUP these players belong to... I have personally had a good working relationship with Lady Justice and Kanunii Sultan Suleyman, the individuals we supported. These concerns are not to be taken lightly and I will discuss them further with Kemal in private.
In regards to the rest of Congress,
Below you will find my analysis of this month's elected officials compared to what could have been.
Elected Officials
ALABAMA: Weezly (iNCi) - Bulgarian PTOer who has already granted 10 citizenships. A harmful choice for America.
ALASKA: heysenberg (Fed) - German EZC quartermaster. Unsure if he will be active on forums. A fair choice for America.
AQUITAINE: Bramzioul (USWP) - French player who has granted 4 citizenships in 2 days and is inactive on forums. A poor choice for America.
ARIZONA: Ghost Killah (USWP) - First time Congressman who has the potential to be very active on both IRC and Forums. A good choice for America.
ARKANSAS: indazoo (iNCi) - An AMP "blocker" who ended up getting elected to Congress. Has been active on AMP forums in the past... some potential for eUSA forum activity. A fair choice for America.
ASTURIAS: F@nis (USWP) - Greek player. Fairly trustworthy but questionable contribution on forums. Fair choice for America.
BAJA: Kemal Ergenekon (iNCi) - Long time iNCi party president, secretary of Treasury, and Economic Council member. A good choice for America.
CALIFORNIA: Oblige (Fed) - 4 time country president. Nearly impeached for questionable behavior. Overall very active but often driven by a desire to stay in power. Recently accused of holding national orgs ransom. A harmful choice for America.
COLORADO: Martin Stettler (AMP) - German Bad Company member who has been in congress several times. Posts on eUSA forums when necessary but could be more active in discussion. A fair choice for America.
CONNECTICUT: Kamenkovski (AMP) - Macedonian player who loves the way America plays the game and has become instrumental in screening potential threats to national security. Active in AMP leadership. Good forum activity. A good choice for America.
DELAWARE: Neron Trocki (Fed) - EZC Officer. A good choice for America.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: Fremenul (USWP) - Romanian who will likely be inactive on forums and approve romanian citizenships. A questionable choice for America.

His activity has decreased in the last couple months due to a migration to that other game. Was elected mainly to keep Henry Arundel out of Congress. Tends to vote in favor of Oblige/Feds. A fair choice for America.

Congress All-Star Team (What could have been)
*Not everyone will agree with these (they are subjective), but I tried to be as objective as possible and judge based mainly on in-game experience and forum activity. If you have an all-star you think I missed, please feel free to comment. I believe this could be a good resource for next month's election.
ALABAMA - No all-stars here.
ALASKA - Vanek26 (USWP)
AQUITAINE - No all-stars here.
ARIZONA - Ghost Killah (USWP)
ARKANSAS - No all-stars here.
ASTURIAS - No all-stars here.
BAJA - Kemal Ergenekon (iNCi)
CALIFORNIA - Alexander Auctoritas (USWP)
COLORADO - No all-stars here.
CONNECTICUT - Evry (USWP) - While I am completely confident in Kamenkovski and am glad he has received the opportunity, the safe choice would have been Evry as she has been an active congress member multiple times as well as economic advisor to congress.
DELAWARE - Neron Trocki (Fed)
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA - No all-stars here.
FLORIDA - Henry Arundel (USWP) - While he is probably the most controversial figure in American politics, you can't argue that the man is active and knows what he is doing. Aside from country president, he has done it all.
GEORGIA - Scrabman (USWP) - This was one was a tough call for me, but based on past qualifications alone Scrabman got the edge. John Largo would be an all-star almost anywhere else.
HAWAII - Fhaemita Malodorous (USWP) - Congressional Whip
IDAHO - stewy (Fed)
ILLINOIS - No all-stars here.
INDIANA - Molly Emma (Fed)
IOWA - Dokomo (AMP)
KANSAS - Cerb (USWP)
KENTUCKY - Roper70 (Fed)
LANGUEDOC ROUSSILLON - No all-stars here.
LOUISIANA - Jon Barack Bluejacket (AMP)
MAINE - Kirras (AMP)
MARYLAND - Chickensguys (USMJ)
MASSACHUSETTS - No all-stars here.
MICHIGAN - Soren Nelson (Fed)
MIDI-PYRENEES - Gnilraps (Fed) - Both Gnilraps and St Krems would make great choices for congress, but Gnilraps gets the edge due to forum activity.
MINNESOTA - Talio Extremist (Fed)
MISSISSIPPI - portcolumbus (USWP)
MISSOURI - Deriachai (BoL)
MONTANA - Chucky Norris (AMP)
NAVARRA - Sgt. York (BoL)
NEBRASKA - David Wilson (AMP)
NEVADA - Tenshibo (USWP) - Although Ralph Ericson would have been an all-star in almost any other region, Tenshibo probably cares about Congress a little more so he gets the edge here.
NEW HAMPSHIRE - Israel Stevens (AMP)
NEW JERSEY - Longoba (AMP)
NEW MEXICO - No all-stars here.
NEW YORK - No all-stars here.
NORTH CAROLINA - Dutch Marley (USMJ)
NORTH DAKOTA - No all-stars here.
OHIO - eShades (USWP)
OKLAHOMA - No all-stars here.
OREGON - Armandez (AMP)
PENNSYLVANIA - We.The.People (Fed)
RHODE ISLAND - Inwegen (USWP)
SOUTH CAROLINA - pearlowl (iNCi)
SOUTH DAKOTA - No all-stars here.
TENNESSEE - GoalieBCSC (USWP)
TEXAS - John Killah (AMP)
UTAH - Haliman (AMP)
VERMONT - rainy sunday (USWP)
VIRGINIA - Dravik Rixx (AMP)
WASHINGTON - SGTRock (USWP)
WEST VIRGINIA - Zheng He (AMP)
WISCONSIN - ErrOrka (USMJ)
WYOMING - No all-stars here.
Total All-Star Count:
USWP: 15
AMP: 12
Feds: 7
iNCi: 2
USMJ: 3
BoL: 2
Total: 41
Honorable mention for candidates who would have made the all-star team if not pitted against other all-stars:
Leroy Combs (AMP)
Leos111 (Fed)
Ralph Ericson (AMP)
John Largo (AMP)
Dokjon (AMP)
Mr. Peanuts (AMP)
St Krems (USWP)
Greene12 (Fed)
Joseph Dinero (BoL)
potato134 (AMP)
Firo Prochainezo (Fed)
Brad Gwatney (AMP)
Kamenkovski (AMP)
Total: 13
Total All-Stars + Honorable Mentions = 54
Total Regions this month = 57
What I would like to point out is that if the top 5 parties would agree on their best candidates and work together to get these candidates elected, we could have nearly every region filled with people who are experienced and have the best interest of the country at heart.
If the top 5 parties are not willing to put their own party agendas aside and re-establish a Federal Election Commission, we will continue to see more of the same Congress results that will ultimately give foreign nations control of our legislative branch.
Comments
tl;dr - Congress is far from the best it could be. The top 5 parties need to work together next month to establish and all-star Congress.
Winning Article is Winning!
Nice work David. Highly entertaining and thoughtful analysis at the very least. I may not agree with the full analysis, but the thought that has gone into it is very clear. Well done.
Great article!
Interview with the president, free gold, and more: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-president-current-affairs-and-reelection-2022390/1/20
Great article except for one small thing. I should've gotten the win in Mississippi and I'd easily be an All-Star.
v/s
Looks like you got a lot of questionable foreigners elected who will give CS to people from their home country, and quite a few rogue congressmen.
Good thing pizza isn't in control of a party though. I didn't think america could be this fail without him.
"MAINE: Alias Vision (USWP) - Complete unknown. Only Congressman to fail to complete forum sign-in. Harmful choice for America."
That made me laugh pretty hard. As I've known Alias these past 3 years, he's as honest and unharmful as they come. The fact that he never signed on the forums only makes me respect him more. eUSA is lucky to have him now.
o/
Harmful? Thanks man. I guess I'll take that under advisory next time someone offers me up to 10 gold for a CS...

Keep the comments coming! Like I said, it's pretty subjective so don't take it too personally.
Sounds like Alias is a fairly well-known Canadian. I'm sorry that didn't translate to the U.S.
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ All Star Congressman ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯
good article,however you forgot me in your all star list
Good article o/
lol, Kemal is good? Thought INCI screwed AMP over? Guess not.
I see my bro Chucky Norris is keeping his swag (;
(sorry for the double post, but to add on to the comments...)
'"MAINE: Alias Vision (USWP) - Complete unknown. Only Congressman to fail to complete forum sign-in. Harmful choice for America."
'... he's as honest and unharmful as they come. The fact that he never signed on the forums only makes me respect him more. eUSA is lucky to have him now.'
x3
Well I don't know Alias Vision personally that well, but throughout my 3+ yrs I've only heard several positive things about him.
I think you should rethink some of the people you call a "Harmful choice for America"
Screw you. I would have been great as Illinois congressman. 😛
😁 No one is asking you AJAY BRUNO.
David Wilson your idiocy is showing. So is your poor grammar and spelling.
a lot of foreigners taking our seats this month
If the 'best choices for america' are people that will fully participate in the procedures of congress if they choose to run and are able to convince enough people to vote them in, I think David made a very good estimate of how valuable the members of congress will be.
If this list inspires any of the others to realize that they're not doing what most people elected them to do and they change that, more power to them for being awesome.
Truth is, and I'm sure I'm not alone in believing this, but I believe it is wrong to "inspire" people to do their job by insulting them, especially by labeling their performance in a job a lot of them have yet to really perform just simply because things aren't underway yet.
Good article David.
Btw, this must of taken you like two hours.. Time waste fail.
Nice work David. Highly entertaining and thoughtful analysis at the very least. I may not agree with the full analysis, but the thought that has gone into it is very clear. Well done.

Alias is indeed pretty cool.
Agreeing on an all-star team sounds great, but that "all parties agree" on an all star team is quite the hurdle.
So many 'poor' and I didn't even get elected. That sucks.
My experience that was not factored for this article:
Easy Company CO, XO, GM, QM, and US
USAF Platoon CO, XO
USAF Delta Force Commander
U.S. Job Hub Administrator
3x U.S. Deputy Sec. of Interior
U.S. Congressman
National Security Counsil Adviser
Federalist Party F.O.P. Director
Federalist Party Leadership
Nice job with the article, but if want to talk about forum activity you should check FIRST.
Also, you should have asked us a question or too before you publish your opinion about us.
ElvenCRO is pretty helpful. Also, Bruce Anderson has been in USAF since forever. He's not active, but he's a fair fellow.
Also, AliasVision definitely belongs in good territory. Not sure what's with his failure to sign in, though.
Also, I blocked. Had no real plans on running this term.
It's always "nice" to read allegations like that about myself. You should always check backgrounds and contact people before saying something like that of them. I've only done things like I've been taught - feel free to check all.
With best regards,
t0b1, Congress member, CvP member, Ultramarine and for few days more member of Finnish government.
Feel free to contact me and ask everything, I'll response all polite questions.
I thank you for the mention of myself, and I look forward to seeing a great term from this Congress.
Great is great, I say this article is great.
voted i hope to be a good choice for you guyz 😉 i will do my best
Hard voted!
AQUITAINE: Bramzioul (USWP) - French player who has granted 4 citizenships in 2 days and is inactive on forums. A poor choice for America.
Inactive on forums? LoL ... Try to ask people before saying bullsh*its ...
: pop corn :
with this kind of analysis i'm really impatient to see the iNCi PTO !!
I may also add that all CS were given to TEDEN members i can vouch for ... If you've got any problems with me, feel free to PM me though... I may add that this article is interesting and had surely been the fruit of a big labour...
Gee...and all those 'good choices' who were pushed out of the race or were never even allowed to run. What is really sad is some of those 'bad choices' would have been defeated, too bad our top 5 parties care more about personal gain or personal revenge to care about their country....
Great article

Thanks for the analysis. I enjoyed it, and not just because you gave me high marks.
There were a couple results that sort of broke my heart in this election.
Number one, Chucky Norris in Montana, who is smart and a bad-ass. And we need him.
Mr. Peanuts, who is smart, and hilarious.
Ralphy No Pants (Ralph Ericson) who I hope runs again.
Dokjon is trying so hard, has a work ethic like you would not believe.
(tbc)
(cont.)
Fhaemita Malodorous, who knows more about things work than I ever will
Georgia-- was tough for me. John Largo is smart, and has gone out of his way to reach out to me, and give me respectful advice. On the other hand, I've known former President Scrabman for something like 3 years. He is also smart, and we share the same RL profession.
(tbc)
Pt 3.
David Wilson in Nebraska. Okay, I realize this will look like a kiss-@ss move, but no one's said it, and somebody should.
He could have won practically anywhere he ran. But, he was PP, but I think, put his emphasis into every other close election in the AMP above his own. Essentially, he threw himself on the hand grenade to make sure a lot of others of value could get elected.
David Wilson is a righteous dude.
Some of the "unknowns" should be given a chance before we call them bad choices. And yes, we are watching you ...
You used all-star and Congress in the same sentence. lol
Hey.... You forgot ME!
