A letter for our President
•
by Kordak
Dear Mr. President,
This month was your 7th term as President of eNetherlands. What a exiting race it was when you got elected.. A glorious victory for you and your party GPN. This month you promised us the following things:
TERM 7
"On Foreign Affairs I like to formalise some arrangements we already have with certain countries, by signing a pact. In case I get elected, you’ll be soon hearing more about this.
Ofcourse we all want to use the bombs and granates recieved at the last mission for a nobel cause. For that I’m already negotiating with a few countries. We all want more fun events, wich will be realised in case of enough applications." - Van_Spijck President of eNL.
Well well what did we got this month. There was a MPP signed with Argentina and Croatia, but unfortunatly those countries are always in war fighting for themselves. Argentina always fights with Chili and Croatia with India. This month it was even worse, Argentina got Spain and Croatia Thailand as new enemy.
But hey we liberated a region! Well that was not even a goverment action, it was more about luck. The Polish didn't care to have us another worthless region. When goverment planned attacks against our remaining two regions it failed. Does this all care? Well not anymore, goverment policies failed and we are again totally occupied without taking action. There were some talks about solutions, but foreign affairs failed to really accomplish something.
About the fun events, well as "SsoI" I had talks about organizing something, but unfortunatly I had no chance to because of a kinda inactive Minister. Besides of that in my opinion MoI should provide citizens with information, it took our President a concerning letter from me and a week to finally publish his governmental plans.
The article with the promises:

I can deliver critics at all terms, but I was not even playing erepublik at that moment so won't do that. I just want to ask everyone:
What did 7 Months of van_Spijck really give us?
Yours sincerly,
William Landicus
Handelear in Koffi te Amsterdam.

Stop the slander!
Slander in what way? There was one question central. Please answer that one if you do not agree. Critizing others also mean you can take critics by yourself. 🙂
This isn't just to you, I posted pretty much the same comment on RV's article. I thought all this talk about trying to get a long and stopping the hate was real, but judging by the articles still coming out from all sides it would appear that I miss judged the situation. Continue fighting kids!
Why should he respond to a fictive person? The one who is questioning him should step ahead. This is just a political game and I wouldn't like to be part of it if I would be vS!!
Btw you should check map more carefully lately... You can find Argentina in UK...
Voted !
Regarding the criticism from the SSoI against the MoI:
I've missed a bit of interaction, between us, which is indeed partly my fault, but interaction goes both ways. I for instance was not active during Easter, and experienced some computer problems earlier in this term. And I'm currently missing a lot of gov meetings, due to RL activities in the evenings.
I have however generated more visible output than Kordak: an article announcing the Polish invasion, written entirely by me, and cosigned by our MoD, Thanatos, who's probably going to be our next CP. Additionally, I've helped with a few translations, one of which has unfortunately never been published. Maybe it will be in a future term.
About the fun event, Kordak wanted to organize: even a totally inactive minister couldn't have stopped him from doing that. If he wanted to publish an article (during Easter) he could have obtained the password to the org from the KeyKeeper...
I've already decided to end my series of terms as MoI and have communicated this to Thanatos a few days ago. I hope to get some more free time in the future, but for now I thought it in our nation's best interest to step aside, and let new talents take over the MoI.
I want to stress that I don't like the current atmosphere of mud-throwing. I'd prefer constructive criticism, so that we can grow together, instead of trying to build walls between "us" and "them". Because this way we're getting nowhere. There should not be an "us" vs. "them", we're eDutch together.
I want to wish the new government a fruitful cooperation, and that they may UNITE our country again.
The fact is that if you are so long in power you will first get function inflation and also take less action. I hope Thanatos will change that and wish him good luck, because it is obvious he will win now.
I also hope that people understand now how it is if someone write something destructive.
And this is mere protection I'm afraid, you cannot speak for others. The ministers (and CPs) that have been doing the job in the past terms (except for Kimberly I) have been there - daily doing their job the best they can even though they lack the time. While other players with big mouths let them down.
You are talking about people who are doing their job, but they dont have enough time hea. Well, GPN has had the last time a lots of presidents and a lots of the same people on several functions. I think you have to stop talking about time.. You'v got enough time. Let's hope under Thanatos there is finaly some breaktrough.
Not again.... There is nothing to break through. What you people don't seem to get is that nobody is withholding you from running a ministry. What is keeping you from stepping up btw?
Speaking for MoC, I have been wanting to quit like every month, but there is no one, willing to do it. Don't lecture me about time, I have a FT job, and 2 young kids.
This was not to you I think. I have respect for you as minister, you do good work. But look at the other ministries who barely do anything. As ss that is very frustrating, if your team doesn't work. There was not even a gov meeting last period..
Well said and written. The policies of vS is reckless and extremely wasteful. Like the saying goes, "Know thy enemy and know thy self." He knows not of the enemy and thyself. His Rambo approach is most puzzling. NL is not Poland or the US. Gun-ho/ Cowboy diplomacy does not work when you have no power. I told vS for months now to make a deal with the Poles like the Germans and all he can say is that Germans are cowards with Stockholm Syndrome. I cal say Germark is on the map and is doing a lot better. Where is eNL? When you have two regions by luck, that should be enough. Instead, you got greedy and tried to get Western NL too. This is a noob mistake.
eNL's existence is choice but by chance. You need to be lucky and you need to stay of the global powers. If you keep making noise on yourself, being a nuisance to the powers, you will be off the map. It is simple for your stick is weak and small. But as we see, the GPN gov still wants to push for cowboy diplomacy when their gun is a water pistol while the Poles are aiming an Leopard II tank at eNL.
After 7 terms, van Spjick offered eNL nothing but an empty treasury wasted on RW's with no chance of success. He consolidated GPN as a political machine and attack free speech and dissent as slander as in the case of Joshua Morriseau and Aries Prime with his honorary citizens as second class citizens with no rights. 7 terms of power and one of the most trouble legacy of this regime is the precedence of using the state media to tell people not to vote for parties that he does not care for, for 5 lousy gold. 7 terms of nothing but empty promise and bad precedence.
