Day 1,543, 18:51 Published in Canada Canada by Andrew McKenzie Caine

Hello eCanada,

As I am sure you are aware by now, the VPs have been posting their responses to the first VP Scenario. This is mine. Determining a cabinet can be a challenge in itself; finding the right players for the right positions, and finding opportunities to those players wishing to cut their teeth in the world of politics. Together, these players must co-ordinate closely in order to lead the country successfully. My cabinet positions would consist of:


Vice President:
• to uphold the duties of the President in case of absence, death, or impeachment
• to co-ordinate with the President on all matters pertaining to the Presidency and eCanada

Minister of Defense:
• to first and foremost, safeguard the security of eCanada
• to oversee, keep record of, aide in, and direct military matters including:
o battles
o funding
o involvement
o recruiting
o daily co-ordination articles
o updated battle orders
• to co-ordinate with the Minister of Information on such issues as:
o Military Unit and battle co-ordination/articles
o The management of ATO efforts in the event of PTO threats, both internal, and external.
o Maintaining an interest of national security
• to co-ordinate with the Minister of Finance on military funding

Minister of Finance:
• to regulate and oversee the funding of various Government programs such as:
o Military Unit funding

• to maintain an interest and structure of national security
• to work with the Ambassadors in terms of information on both allies and enemies

Minister of Immigration:
• to ideally put forth a plan of citizenship vetting procedures that are able to reach compromise with both the Executive, and Congress
• NOTE: if, for whatever reason, the Minister of Immigration is not able to draft a procedure that is conducive to both parties, then they are responsible for:
o aiding in background researches, should they be asked for
o aiding in ATO efforts
o working with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to promote eCanada’s image

Minister of Foreign Affairs:
• to maintain our alliances
• to work alongside the Minister of Immigration in order to promote eCanada’s image
• to serve as a respectful representation of eCanada on an international level
• to report on EDEN and TERRA activities and to support their causes
• to work with the Ambassadors in terms of information on both allies and enemies
• to aide in ATO efforts

Minister of Education
• to aide in the areas of:
o New player development
o New player military involvement/recruitment
o New player political involvement
• to serve as a guide for new players about the game, how it functions, eCanada as a whole
• to maintain a record of the current events within eCanada/update our history books
• to write articles, or, to collect and distribute articles that have been written that shed light on game mechanics

NOTE: All Ministers will be included in discussions and daily messages in order to co-ordinate properly.

The point of these scenarios is to strengthen our knowledge and abilities. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to comment and discuss! Thank you for your time eCanada!
