Presidential Inaugural Address, a Declaration of War

Day 747, 09:19 • Published in USA Bulgaria • by Jewitt


6 December, 2009, Day 747 of the New World - Oh wow, so I am President. Expect a less formatted and more straight forward Report for the next month. This is my inaugural address, so get ready for some applause or some torches!

And for wondering about how I feel about yesterday's events, here you go.

10,000 Fists

We're already at work. Under Frost's Administration my Vice President, PigInZen, has begun leading a team to develop the eUSA Citizen Database which would give us daily updates on our population. This will give us the tools to handle a large and ever-growing United States. What does this mean? It means the groundwork is nearly done being laid for a more optimistic project.

Interior Secretary of Citizen Affairs Chocolate McSkittles and Former Vice President Woxan will be heading up the "get them" part of the 10,000 Fists Project. Under this project, I hope to begin a pattern of bringing in over 10,000 active citizens. This will not happen in one month. But we are preparing for it to happen much sooner than it should.

If you would like to find out more about how you can help promote eRepublik, and indirectly the United States, just wait for the latest Jewitt Report or White House Press Release.


I STAND READY TO KILL REDCOATS

I bet you do, and as your President I must say: "Stand ready." Will I do it within the jokingly promised 3-day span? Let's look at my response on a certain topic:

"On my computer at home, I have a large dual monitor for photographic editing. So to me font size 2 on eRepublik I can still read very easily, although it is extremely small. Like legal fine print.

I logged in about an hour or so before the elections last night with my mother's laptop (tiny 15" MacBook) and went to view my comments (I was wondering why I was getting hateful comments, but I usually do when people can't sense the satire. Hence the disclaimer.) and get the disclaimer to copy/paste in a PM to someone who called me arrogant. On her laptop, it is extremely tiny and almost looks like a bold black line with little notches in it.

It was an Admin-honest formatting error on my part, and I did not realize the disclaimer was that tiny. It usually appears (to me) to be around the size of 3/4 the "picture captions" in my regular articles."


Jewitt giving his inaugural speech to Congressmen

So yes, I did not intend for it to get out of control. I have spoken with Former President Frost and he is well aware of the shock - I ran under that joke with the assumption that Frost's successes and victories would be met with a landslide re-election. Obviously bugs with the Party Endorsements, National Goals, and the U.K. Invasion comments all contributed to yesterday's results. Do I plan to invade the UK? We'll see.

Although I did not campaign and did not put a lot of effort into ensuring my victory, that does not mean I will not perform the Presidency as expected. I will treat it as I would if I was elected in November, just the month is different. Hey, at least this means we'll have a Jewish president for Christmas! That should be fun.
Except a little more kosher. Oh, and these will get bigger in the future, I promise.

War Declaration on Japan

Well, sure, I am not bringing a war to the United Kingdom. To give you my apologies, I have decided that I want to give our economy a good boost. How is that? By declaring war on Japan, we have the ability to take command of Toyota Motor Company, which is by far one of the world's strongest automotive manufacturers. With the new modules being expected to be released between now and February, we need to be prepared. Who knows, maybe we'll go on to take advantage of some Chinese manufacturing and other economic incentives.

Hopefully this is a good compromise to the United Kingdom deal.


That will be made on American soil soon enough!

Stand with me, and buy lots of guns! Oh, and on December 7th we'll see a reversal in history. Stay tuned.

Media and Other Good Stuff

So I am a Media Mogul, my paper is read around the e-globe, and I like to write. So naturally this is a big issue. Under Frost, not a whole lot was communicated to the population. This is why when it became apparent that I would win, we stayed up late into the night to finish the cabinet. Sometime later on we should have an article from the White House Press Room which will explain that in further detail. All official Jewitt Administration news will come from that paper - so subscribe up!

Expect regular reports on the nation, explanations, and all that good stuff.

Wargames

Because of the obvious declaration of war, War Games with Ireland will be hampered. However, it is my goal to ensure that when we are able to we will have them. Not only do we use these games to keep our wellness and experience high, but so does Ireland and all of EDEN. Not having a war game today meant lost wellness, experience, and so forth.

This is why myself with President AppleMan of Ireland decided to hold a training battle to last about five hours or so. At the end of the five hour time (in which case, many Europeans are asleep at this time) a retreat will be made and we will be gased-up and have our wellness-filled for tomorrow's events.

Enjoy, Fight Smart!
