President Evil - Your Domestics SuperTeam
Blue And Evil
A rather magnificent thing has happened. Since my last article, where I opened applications for people who want to work with the government and improve the nation, I’ve received a flood of applications regarding Home Affairs, Education, Entertainment, and other such Domestic matters. This is in itself a great thing, since it shows so many people, from so many parties, wanting to work together for the greater good. However, it gets even better.
Many of the applications coming to me have been from people with their own ideas on what they want to bring to the role.
What’s better than a lone CP full of ideas to improve the nation? A team of people full of ideas to improve the nation. That’s why I’ve decided to bring them on board, and put them to work. Nothing like a little forced intellectual labour
😁
You may have read Mr Woldy’s recent article about his plans to increase congress involvement in government matters. This is a topic I’ve been discussing with him quite a bit, both before and after he published the above article, and one he’s been thinking about for even longer. It’s a topic I’m somewhat divided on, since it’d be great if we got Congress members contributing to the nation beyond clicking yes/no every few days, and those that have sought election to congress would in theory be the perfect people to bring Education and Entertainment to the nation. However, my own experience tells me that when you give Congress jobs to do, said jobs don’t get done, so I don’t want to just push Congress into the Domestic Governance deep end and hope they don’t sink, I’m going to try easing them into it.
Which is why I will be implementing Mr Woldy’s plans, as detailed in his article, with a couple of caveats. Firstly, they will - at least initially - be running in parallel, and working closely with, my Domestics SuperTeam, as detailed below, so that should the worst come to the worst, and congress saying they want to contribute turns out to be much less than they actually contribute, you, the people of the eUK, are no worse off for it. Secondly, I will be appointing Mr Woldy as interim Prime Minister to oversee the system’s implementation until Congress are committed, organised and ready to take on the role in full and choose their own Prime Minister.
Nothing wrong with having the title of “Interim”, isn’t that right Rafa?
As I mentioned above, Congress will be working closely with my own Domestics Ministry team. Each of them have had their own input on duties of the role of an MoHA, which is why I’ve brought them together to form Your Domestics SuperTeam!
Jimbobfrey is the incumbent Minister of Education, and has put a lot of work into renewing the Library Project (Which you can find HERE), a sort of central starting point for every bit of information about the game you could ever want. He’ll be continuing his good work in this area.
Prof. J Moriarty and Bohemond4 both want to bring more entertainment to you, through writing, quizzes and competitions. Moriarty has a proven track record of being very entertaining (just look at his newspaper) and Bohemond already has great plans on bringing fun to you, the people of the UK, so we should be seeing great things here.
GameChanger and LongShotzZ share my concern that the vital role of providing guides for new players has been neglected in recent times, so they will be spearheading the initiative to bring this back to the fore.
While each team member will have their own focus, they are all going to be working as Minister of Home Affairs, and are not limited in their scope. They’ll be working closely with each other, Congress, and anyone else who has an idea, an initiative, or simply wants to contribute.
As well as Your Domestics SuperTeam, I’d also like you to meet the rest of my cabinet who will be working for you over the next coming month.
Garth Lidlington has been my partner in crime in the Ministry of Defence this past month. As well as ensuring our fighters and commanders are kept well informed of orders, he has worked hard to bring the MU League from an idea into reality, as well as helping the Armed Forces Group to find their feet, and will be continuing his good work in my cabinet this month.
Carlini8 is now finishing his 5th stint as Minister of Finance, which brings him equal to me for consecutive time spent in a single Ministry role (which might just be a record, I’m not sure) and has been doing a continuously phenomenal job with publishing our financial details, investing with the Monetary Market - as well as opening this investment up to you - and keeping the nation’s money in prime shape. I was expecting the terrifying task of finding a replacement for him, since surely nobody would be crazy enough to want to do this job for a sixth month in a row, and he has got some massive boots to fill. Luckily, Carlini is crazy enough to keep going, and to keep continuing his excellent work.
A strange situation happened to Betafoxtrot last month. He wanted to work in Foreign Affairs, he had plans for Foreign Affairs, so he applied for the role of Minister of Foreign Affairs. So when he was named as Minister of Home Affairs, the wheels stalled a bit. However, since then, he’s found his way into the MoFA, and started catching up for missed time with a guide to the current state of affairs. Now, imagine how great it’s going to be having Beta as MoFA from the start. It’s pretty great.
Not actually a role I advertised widely about, but Cygnus X1 will be taking up the position of Minister of Health, responsible for the continued overseeing of the NHS. Along with Your Domestics SuperTeam, he’ll also be working closely with with Congress, not just in the day-to-day running of the NHS, but also in raising awareness of the NHS for new players.
Lastly, I need someone to keep my on track. Someone to kick my ass when I start despairing at taking this job (Which I’ve seen EVERY President do at some point or another) and to help me keep the rest of cabinet on track. Someone not afraid to tell me when I’m being an idiot. To that end, 5butjam will be my Vice President, with a hand in all the above to make sure the work that you, the people of the UK, need done is getting done.
I’ll be leaving it to each of my ministers to select their own deputies for their roles, and if you’ve already spoken to me about helping in a ministry, I’ve forwarded your details to the appropriate person.
I, and all of my cabinet, look forward to working for you.

Carlini8 is now finishing his 5th stint as Minister of Finance, Really no one else can do that role ? change the record let someone else do that role for a change. apart from that a OK team not a super team
Good Luck for tomorrow,
A few people have expressed in interest in becoming dMoF, so I'll be making sure Carlini teaches them the arcane mysteries of the Bank of England, so that there are others to carry on his work.
He is damn good at his job, though, which is why he was the best applicant for the role.
politics isn't about taking turns it's about getting the best people for the job. it's like saying we should vote nick griffin (RL) into the PM chair as he hasn't had a go yet
How would you know his the best person for the job if others dont get a go ?
mmmm (nod) you make a good point winston but it's not worth the risk of having a rubbish one when we can instead train them as dMoF
I will also just remind everyone there is a secondary criteria for being MoF - I gotta pick someone the nation will trust with access to the national reserve, and Carlini has been above reproach.
Winston carlini is really good I think he should stay for 5 more terms then teach someone others how to do it then step down 10 terms should be enough for him 🙂
small appendix I shall be serving as MoSS Minister of SpiceS for the month I think herbs may also fall into my jurisdiction
Indeed so, it's about Thyme someone took action on this.
I don't want to see you making a dodgy Dill though.
i cardamom believe you're making puns out of my ministry
Great cabinet and you will definitely be getting my vote. I urge all undecided to back this guy who is honest, open and very hard working.

Not a record just yet I don't think...Thatcher was MoF for six+ months straight iirc
Nice Cabinet btw 🙂
I've been MoHA/MoEd 15 times >_>
There should be a smiley on the end of that : 3
Not in UK noob!

justice
boomticket?
A very one sided cabinet...
An Ikea special?
B&E is more Laura Ashley then Ikea...
I wouldn't know as I buy my pants and bra from George...that's ASDA to you rich folk
I thought George was Tesco... But what would I know I'm a marks n sparks kinda guy...
It's got members of every coalition that ran for congress in it, and 4 of the top 5 parties.
I didn't look at anyone's Party when selecting positions. And I still haven't.
I could have a full Spamican cabinet for all I know.
Well, you certainly have me.
Well most guys that apply, you already know what party they are in anyway so I suspect you wouldn't need to look.
A full Spamican Cabinet would of been epic...

I applied to MoFA team,... now BAE leaves it in hands of his deputies... That's why New Era needs to exist...to give opportunities to everybody. I am bit dissapointed... I mean, I expected top work from BAE...
dw Alpha, you can apply to me if you want to be in the MoFA team now : D
I will, of course.
There are several candidates, and there is every chance you aren't the best candidate. There are several applications for the MoFA job, it's pretty popular.
I didn't say I wanted to be the MoFA, but a secondary post.
Then you apply to the minister, is it more hassle?
well, 5 or 6 of the most powerful countries speak spanish , the other, brazil, portuguese which is quite close, so the language barrier... so I am not so bad candidate.
Yo hablo buen espanol. Recomiendo que tendra yo para el puesto de MoFA
Yeah, and when I talked with Beta last night, the first thing we discussed is having you as dMoFA. just because decisions haven't been made and announced yet doesn't mean you're not getting the part.
You still might get a role - if you look, this is for Ministers positions, for example, we are still looking for people to help work within the MoHA as well despite having something like 5 Ministers!
I am in favour of giving more people education in doing the roles from people with the experience.
Voted!

Hmmm...no UKPP, opposite cabinets from the two main runners!
I've just gone back and checked, but it appears none of the applications I received were from UKPP members, which is actually setting off alarm bells for me.
If no members from the UK's largest party, then that's indicative of a serious problem in the UK =s
*If no members from the UK's largest party want to work with the national government,
oops, retention.....
Nothing to do with retention Saiwun, we just don't have a great deal of guys interested in doing Government stuff. Those that would, wouldn't be chosen in a month of Sundays anyway
You'd be in there if Garth hadn't defected recently.
damn that Garth!
G mans our spai...
Strength and Honour
Good luck mate
