Melchizedek Smith for Prime Minister

Day 682, 03:12 • Published in Australia

• by Melchizedek Smith

G’day eAustralia,

I am releasing this article in amongst a busy schedule to announce that I will be standing to retain the role of Prime Minister in this upcoming term. For those of you newer to the game or just unsure of who I am feel free to read the about me section in my last platform, or have a flick through my earlier articles. Put simply I, Melchizedek Smith, am a loyal citizen of this fine nation, having served her in many respects most notably as the current Prime Minister.

There is a lot I need to cover here now so let’s get down to business.

What’s next for eAustralia

Defence

Currently eAustralia’s military is undergoing a major overhaul. In the past we have had issues surrounding supply and communication which are finally being eradicated. The current team will be working this term to ensure that everyone finds their place in the military and that we attain optimal efficiency. We will be looking at developing focused training in order to build up the strength of our military and also introduce competitive training to boost morale and overall satisfaction with gameplay.

Economy

My team has done well to stabilize the monetary market this term despite the irregularity of wargames. We would be seeking to maintain that standard through the upcoming term. They have also been working particularly hard to minimize spending and increase savings and despite the gold disappearance that was brought forward from last term, we are going to finish the term having more than doubled our gold supply. This is putting us in a solid position for the WA buy back and I will ensure that work continues.

Foreign Affairs

I have been in talks this term with a number of nations looking to strengthen ties with us in the months ahead. To this end I have also been involved in many discussions with the members of Sol to more fully establish this alliance as a defensive alliance focused on political stability and national sovereignty. As these talks progress we will hopefully see an increase in wargames and a greater involvement in global affairs.

Talks regarding the return of WA are also progressing well. Although I have remained relatively quiet on this issue for the last few weeks, this is for good reason. I intend at present to see WA returned to us by the end of the next term.

Also this term we have been busy establishing an ambassador system to get citizens into the wider world representing the nation on a global scale and also keeping us informed of the actions of the wider eRepublik community. This program will come into full swing in the first week of the next term.

Immigration, Customs and Security

Our DoICS have been working well this term, however this model at present is not reaching its full potential so I intend to break down the roles in the new term. Essentially we will have a Department of Immigration which will continue to work on incoming citizens as well as start to work closely with both DoCS to direct and inform those new citizens. There will also be a separate Department of Security which will handle security both internally and externally and report to the DoIm as required.

Cultural Services

Our cultural services team have been hard at work this term messaging incoming citizens and offering them the appropriate guidance and support. This term I hope to refine that work into a slightly more efficient machine, however my main focus will be on increasing the number of initiatives in place to increase domestic growth.

Industry

This term has been a good one for government funded companies, however some of the business models in place need revision. This will be my first task for the DoI in the coming term. Following on from that I hope that the DoI can work closely with the new DoE to create a company mentoring scheme that will work in conjunction with the buyback of WA companies.

Education

The Department of Education will be introduced this term and will have their work cut out for them. They will be established in order to collate and solidify the various programs that currently run in eAustralia, such as Boot Camp and Senate School. They will also be looking into new programs that may be introduced, working with the DoI in establishing the company mentoring scheme and discussing future projects with the DoCS.

Melchizedek Smith,
Servant of eAustralia
Getting on with the Job

VOTE ONE MEL!!!

As I won the elections last term against Mel he still put up a bloody good fight considering i had the biggest party backing me.
I then had to take leave and was taken from my office, which you all should of known. Mel took my seat and did a brilliant job, but i feel like i have robbed Mel from his CP medal. So vote for the guy he deserves the medal!
As i was winner of cp elections last term i hereby endorse Melchizedek Smith.

"Everytime you don't vote for MEL as pm, eAustralia loss"
Don't be a Losser
Good luck mate.

oh and message to eAustralia.

glad you got the chance to run Mel although quick question.

'This is putting us in a solid position for the WA buy back and I will ensure that work continues.'
'I intend at present to see WA returned to us by the end of the next term.'

So are we buying back over 8000 gold worth of companies in two months? Since when and how did we get so rich?

Pat Chap Day 682, 03:25

VOTE ONE MEL

Timeoin Day 682, 03:26

Good luck Melchizedek. I hope that you get back in 🙂

I think this will be a tough one, I have worked with both Patti and Mel closely and both have impressed me with their commitments and knowledge and planning.
I think with H Nelson's run, Mel will most likely lose this election due to a massive vote spilt between Mel and H nelson.
To me honestly, I think whether patti11 or Mel wins, they will both do a fantastic job as I have seen how both of them work. Different approaches yet producing the wanted results.
I wish Mel good luck as I am slightly biased as Mel has been denied of his CP medal, one which he undeniably should obtain for his enormous sacrifice this term.

William Shafer Day 682, 03:31

patti11 sai😛 'So are we buying back over 8000 gold worth of companies in two months? Since when and how did we get so rich?'

patti11, thanks to the initiative of many people over the months eAus has managed to prepare themselves relatively well for this time. Can I ask you a question though, how do you know that it is 8000 gold worth of companies when you admitted in your manifesto that you failed to create a buyout list?

srg91 Day 682, 04:16

It will cost alot regardless.
I think patti wants to know if you have plans to counter the massive debt eAus might face.

Mel, the buyout list was Indonesia's responsibiliy. Darkyoimbo, Indonesian President the term after AIRRA was signed, knew I had PMed gagah about it and recieving no reply. He tried to rectify it, but that was when Indonesia's congress claimed AIRRA was void, as gagah did not discuss with the Senate. Don't say I failed when I did not please.

The 8000 gold was an estimation, the Redbacks back in May made a basic list and 8000 gold was a round figure we made.

"patti11, thanks to the initiative of many people over the months eAus has managed to prepare themselves relatively well for this time. "

What initiatives? How much gold do you think we have saved away?

patti11 sai😛 'Mel, the buyout list was Indonesia's responsibiliy. Darkyoimbo, Indonesian President the term after AIRRA was signed, knew I had PMed gagah about it and recieving no reply.

I guess I'll have to take you at your word on that. My apologies then. On that matter wouldn't that then mean that eIndonesia had broken the contract? So why was this not addressed earlier?

patti11 sai😛 'What initiatives? How much gold do you think we have saved away?'

patti11 you seem to have misunderstood me, I stated 'thanks to the initiative of many people' not 'initiatives'. What i was referring to was that there have been a number of people who have acknowledged the need to prepare for WA's eventual return and have therefore been carefully preparing for that time. As to how much has been saved, unfortunately I can't reveal specific figures publically, however if you are elected then you'll soon see for yourself 🙂

Binda33 Day 682, 06:00

Goodluck Mel 🙂

"I guess I'll have to take you at your word on that. My apologies then. On that matter wouldn't that then mean that eIndonesia had broken the contract? So why was this not addressed earlier?"

The Indonesian congress during the May term didn't end up with a result and in the June term I was on holidays. You probably know more about the issue then me.

Well all I can say is that I hope you have a lot of secret funds then 🙂
