Time to get Serious [Presidential Address]

Day 1,088, 19:32 • Published in Switzerland USA • by Paul Proteus

Hey Switzerland, when I ran, I promised change, I promised an army, and a whole lot more,
It has been 6 days since I won, and yet some people think that I am doing nothing. Well, the point of these weekly articles is to prove the opposite. My government and I have been working like crazy doing all kinds of thing:
Let's start with my
New Citizen Message
Usually writing these is a bleak tedious affair, mainly deleting until you're under 2000 characters, and then translating (Thank you F4uc0n, Lyuline and Ilestis for the translating). Anyway, this time, I happened to see the US ncm, and it rocked my socks. So, I quickly whipped this one up (with the help of our bird brained friend Penguin), and I have to say, it's pretty fly of an NCM. So,
as the first Presidentially endorsed law, I urge all Congressmembers to vote yes
Again, if you disagree, and vote no, please post why on our forum thread so we can come up with an improved one.

Moving on:
The New Swiss Army

Now this is an army I can dig!
I'll be quick with this, I promised an army, for obvious reasons, more activity, and higher player retention, which is obviously essential. Again, I assure you the army is meant to be neutral, they roll with the basic objectives decided by the Federal Council. This is designed so it can last different presidencies, so please understand, the army is separate from the federal council. The army is non-partisan, thank you for listening to that, now on to the main point:
The eSwiss Army is Recruiting

Fill out this preliminary form and either Custer or Rowan will PM you more

And now on to the,
Economic Plans
My Economic Gurus Walther and Alexander Matteo have been working hard on thinking of a plan to help stabilize the chf, and in general, help our economy.
The Swiss economy is in desperate need of repair. From the CHF rate to the job industry, prices are unstable and opportunities are few and far between. Furthermore, the Swiss economy is too small to keep itself self-sustained, so must rely on imports and exports to keep itself afloat. Government minister Alexander Matteo and Walther Rathenau have devised a daring new plan to revitalize the financial system; a change in the CHF-gold rate.
Since times immemorial, the rate of exchange has been 50 CHf for each gold piece. The rate has gone up and down, but it has typically bounced back to this standard position. However, by changing the exchange rate to an approximate 58.8 CHF-1 gold (making 1 CHf equal to 0.017 gold), and also by reforming import laws, prices will fall dramatically, attracting foreign investments. Ultimately, the government will be able to make a profit off selling CHF, drawing in money that will support future endeavors for generations to come.

And Lastly:
Solidarity
For my term, I have merged Solidarity and Interior and gave the cabinet post to F4uc0n,
and he isn't disappointing,
IF YOU ARE A NEW SWISS CITIZEN AND NEED HELP, THIS IS FOR YOU! I encourage all Swiss government officials, or just helpful Swiss, include this link at the end of your paper

Paul Proteus
President of the Confederation
