Join the new world

It’s that time of the month when we all get to make our voices heard and choose who will be taking the reins of this great nation.

I would like to announce to you all that I will be running for President. I see this as the perfect time for me to take office. I have a ton of experience in eSA and have been around since way before the “great fall”. I have been maturing my knowledge waiting for just the right time to do this.

My Credentials:
* Vice President of eSA (Current)
* Commander of the Pretorian Vanguard
* Two time president of the LPSA
* 3 Time Congressman of eSA

I will be running under SAL in alliance with the Liberal Party of South Africa and the Independent Alternative. I hope to see this alliance mature through this collaboration.

It will obviously take a lot of thought and speculation before people can actually know what they want from a president so let me offer up what you can expect from me.

Goals for January:
* 10% GDP Growth
* 13% population growth
* Keep current regions
* Military financial accountability
* Implement systems that help keep eSouth Africa secure
* Opportunities for younger players.
* Foreign Policy Development
* Presidential Organization.

GDP
I know for a fact that Enoch has worked hard at making our money work for us. I believe that this is a reasonable goal and I am sure that we can succeed at reaching this.

Population Growth
I would like to see more articles in other countries. The world needs to know that we are here and they need to know that we are a great place to be.

Keep Current Regions
This is more for safety more that anything. We should hopefully have outstanding regions returned to us by Brazil before Election Day.
I would like to see Gauteng once again under our control. I understand that this would be a very expensive region to get but I think we need to explore the possibility.

Military Financial Accountability
Ok, before all the military folk get pissed and shoot me with a Q5 I would like to explain this a bit more. I want there to be more transparency as to where the military budget is going. At the moment the military requests a huge amount of funds each month and I would like myself and congress to know that it is been spent is the most effective way.

Implement systems that help keep eSouth Africa secure
I think that this is really necessary. We have just recovered from a major attack and we need to be ready for the next. Ugly people want to mess with us, that’s a given. I would like there to be people that keep track of these people and identify threats where they are. The Ministry or Intelligence currently handles this and they do a sterling job, but I would like to explore if there is not more that can be done.

Opportunities for younger players.
I would like there to be fresher faces getting involved in government. This does not mean that I will be replacing all Ministers with a bunch of noobs, but I would like there to be a Accelerated Development Programe (ADP) implemented within each ministry. Each ministry needs to identify players that show talent, mentor the player and get him ready for a future leadership role. The ministries can also do with the extra hands so I see the ADP as being a win for both newer and older players.

Foreign Policy Development
We are a non-aligned nation. Our neutrality is our sovereign right and the people have asked us to remain neutral through referendum. I was sickened to see an e😜resident of eUS come on to our IRC and mock us for choosing neutrality. We will not be bullied by them or any alliance.
I will work hard to improve our relations between countries in both Alliances. I would like to see eSA enter into a beneficial relationship with eAustralia but will not jeopardize our good relationship with eBrazil just to please them. eAustralia needs respect us and our decisions in this regard and so does eBrazil.

Presidential Organization.
This was discussed at the beginning of Ines’ term but with everything that has happened, it has fallen into the filing cabinet somewhere.
I would like to create a organization and Newspaper that would be used by the Presidency (CP and VP). This Newspaper will be available to the next president. I believe that this will greatly improve how the government communicates to the people.

I see the presidency as more than just a medal in my profile. I see it as an opportunity for me to make a difference in this country. I will work hard for this country and I will never jeopardize it just for pride. I will be a strict president but I don’t want to micro manage the ministries. I do however want the job done and I will accept no less.


Best Regards
