Next Presidential Elections
Flaco Jimenez
First off I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.
I will not be running for a second term. I suggest the parties come up with some good candidates for e-President.
I really could not accomplish much of what I wanted to do. I have been running an ad campaign for new citizens and seen some response.
Kryte and I went over the budget and Singapore is doing quite well financially. However we still have no wargames nor any reasonable chance to join any. Sol wargames seem to be the only ticket in town.
We have been trying to keep the SGD stable but raising the price to .022 seems to following the market forces at work. Keeping it artificially low would only result in a devalued currency or rampant price fluctuations and profiteering by those who have currency to sell. The bank has enough currency to keep the SGD stable for the foreseeable future.
The Army is functioning at a very professional level. I am very proud of our armed forces and hope the next administration keeps the current high readiness levels.
I do have a firm offer of a Q4 defense system on the table for a huge discount. The arguments against such a system are not convincing when compared to the very slight price being asked. I doubt we could fund more than one serious tank for a little over 100 gold or the price of a single MPP for a month.
I wish to thank my administration for working behind the scenes to make Singapore a better place to live and work.
Above all I wish to thank everyone for working so hard to keep Singapore running smoothly.
Viva Singapore!
Mrs Claus is very naughty.

Aww, why not try for another term. Sometimes to implement things, a term is not enough to see the effects.
You did very well in your time in office sad to see you leaving
Merry Christmas Flaco! It was a good term.
If you're not running, I sure hope as hell Liz does. Or Boe.. Or Arb. Or another awesome person.
But El Presidente, I must say: You may not have accomplished the goals you've made, but this if fore, none can. Not as it is today. You have done a better job then I ever could imagine. You've not only done what you could. But also what the country could. You shall be proud of yourself. No... You shall be more then proud!
Indeed you did great this term Flaco.
You are amazing Mr President. 🙂
@Chewy: You're on the right track.
Almost every President we have is amazing. It's really great compared to US, with erm... some being Impeached here and there.
Don`t be hasty Flaco - there is still 10 days left! 😉
I`m sure you did your best in this term and the only thing I disagree with you is the raise of SGD`s price to 0.022 - I would dicreased it rather than raised (decrease would have boosted our economy by encouraging companies to buy more gold and that way buy more lisences etc.)
Hope you will find a good candidate`s for next elections - I`m trying to have some vacation but I`m still watching what you`re doing there 😉
Erius, wouldn't a higher SGD value of .022 make buying gold cheaper and encourage licenses/upgrades?
Great job falco loved having you in charge!
Erius, Can you clear something up. Did you get a contract with the eUSA for the wargames that our nation paid 200 gold for? People are having a hell of a time finding one and trying to get the eUSA to honor its word on those wargames.
Flaco, I think you need to rethink the Defense System. First, you need congress to authorize the installation of it but most of all, you need to look at the benifits vs the consequences. A Q4 DS will NOT protect a 1 region country. DS's are designed to make capture of inital regions harder and allow for a nation to muster its defenses. As eSingapore only has 1 Region and lacks the money to sign a ton of last moment MPP's.
We could put the funds your going to spend to better use shopping around for Wargames and not some fanciful wall that will be but a speed bump to any determined enemy. In a world where last moment tanking can take a wall from 1+ Million to negitive 600K, a Q4 DS in our tiny 1 Region land wont do much to stop anything.
