[CP Candidate] Richard Feist. Foreign, Domestic and Cabinet!
Rfeist
Hello again, this is the follow up article to the last one I published about my policies regarding the military.
If you want to find out about my military policies then please click here to find my last article
In this article I will be looking at Foreign affairs, Domestic ones and announcing members of my proposed cabinet.
Again I would like to thank the following parties for their support.
UKPP:
New Era:
PCP:
WRP:
I will dive straight in withMy Foreign policies
My policies on Foreign affairs as as follows
I have no plan to change our current alignment of being pro Poland and ruin our strong connection with this and other countries. These countries have supported us when we needed them and I would not throw all of this back in their faces.
I would like to see greater links established with our allies. I envisage a weekly or biweekly report on events happening in the eworld, focusing on our allies and what is effecting them (in turn evens could have a knock on effect on us in the eUK)
I would like to see a greater number of player be taken into this ministry and nurtured so that they can establish links and contacts around the eworld. This would have the affect of allowing us to find information out easier and at the same time give us a greater range of possible future Ministers.
I will now follow this with my Home Affairs policies
These are my following policies on Home affairs:
I will oversee the implementation of a improved Citizenship acceptance method. It would be made up of the Party Presidents of those parties with congress members. The current method although it has been in operation for some time and Iain Keers has been operating it well for a long time needs updating. My method would be to have those PP's work together with the CP to approve citizen requests. A veto would be given to the CP on any citizen deemed dangerous to the eUk. It would be a good way of getting the PP's more involved in the operations of the government and in doing so hopefully make congress more active.
Another policy will be to set up a public Justice System, handling bans from National Forums and IRC, including proof of misdeeds, chance for appeal and steps to take to be unbanned. Forums and Channels not taking part will be replaced
My next policy is to make what the Government is doing and what is going on within it more available as knowledge for members of the eUK. There would be more regular reports published by each department in one article both ingame and on the forums. This will allow people who use all forms available to have an understanding of what the government is doing for them.
Look into using more mass voting methods to vote on what the government can do. As what the government does/can do it is for the benefit of you, the members of the eUK. There are some cases where a quick reaction on matters will be needed and this method may not work. I would therefore do this myself with the advice of my chosen cabinet on these matters.
I will be implementing more games/quizs and other activities for members of the eUK to get involved in. This would be aiming at retaining new members who have recently joined as a way of making the game more fun and interactive. These activities would involve all forms of available to us linked to the game. Older players would also be welcome to join in too!
Will look into the finances available and plan to maintain or increase these in the long term to secure the eUKs future. From this I will with the help of my minister of finance look at all available options to us to try and increase or maintain our current reserves.
Now onto what many of you have been waiting for....... the Cabinet positions!
In the role of my vice Country President, I have chosen Ayame Crocodile.
My reasons for this is firstly that I get on with him and we have worked together before. This will be important as there has to be great co-operation between these 2 positions. Secondly he is trustworthy and a great asset to have in any position.
In the role of Minister of Legal Affairs, In game to be called Prime Minister I have selected Lady Macbeth II.
She is a person that has done the role in the past and as I know from experience works extremely hard. I believe that she fits into this role perfectly.
In the role of Minister of Defence, To head up operations will be Garth Lidlington. He has been a Commanding Officer before and excelled in the role. I believe that he can step up his game and is ready for his chance in a larger role.
In the role of Minister of Finance, In game know as Governor I have selected Carlini8. Carlini8 has been doing a brilliant job of managing the countries finances and will be staying on in this role.
As understudy and a huge name to watch for in the future It gives me great pleasure to name Sam010. A great young player with bags of potential for the future.
In the role of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, I have selected two outstanding individuals to run this ministry. First will be a newer member of our country but with great experience before and that is Lancer450.
The second person is someone who has been around for a long time and been involved in all aspects of the eUK. He has the necessary contacts to help run this ministry. He is Talon karrde.
In the role of Minister of Education, I have selected BigAnt. He has great experience in running ministries and will be a valuble member in supporting new players and older ones alike.
Also to work with BigAnt will be another shining young star in New Era, Ironfists Tempest. Another great young player with plenty of potential for the future!
That is the full list of my cabinet. I believe that they will run the country fantastically as a team for you the members of the eUK. There are still junior positions available in all departments and applications will be open starting on the 6th on November.
Remember to Vote for Richard Feist on the 5th of November!

Nice to see Garth given his chance. He was excellent as a MU commander and I fully believe he can step up. Looks like a good, active, knowledgeable cabinet.
As MoF the reasoning for my question should be fairly obvious 😃
What do you intend to do with the treasury? Continue to save? Spend only a %age of the daily income? Spend all the daily income? Spend all daily income and some of the reserve?
Where will it be going etc?
Obviously, do not read this in an attacking way, but in a I genuinely just want/need to know 😃
Good luck buddy
"I will with the help of my minister of finance look at all available options to us to try and increase or maintain our current reserves."
Looks like you have free reign to increase the treasury Carlini!
I will be looking to maintain our funds up to a certain level.I will be spending a percentage of the funds on strikes and awards/prizes for the comps an other items linked in my MoD article.
Thanks Talon, the same to you too!
I was just wondering if you had a set target. For instance this months was to try for £3m in the reserve. Due to the unpredictably of the MM and our low tax income it looks like 2.3M will be more like it.
I know we will have discussions in private at a later date, early on the 6th of Nov I would presume if you were to win. So you are saying the main expenditures will be towards strikes as often as possible, CtA and prizes?
Yes those would be our main expenditures along with maintaining our current MPPs. I will talk to you on the 6th about our options and setting up how the budget will be spent/saved/invested.
I imagine a budget will be set aside for the quizzes and prizes, with the main cost being CtA, strikes and MPPs. So not much change from what MoF is currently doing.
Good luck (:
Voted! Good luck! (:
Right now Call to Arms is costing us nothing as it's being funded by Rednoahl and I.
But seeing as how it's roughly 92,000 CC a month, some help would be appreciated if we want to maintain the program.
Voted earlier btw, Good luck!
\o
Good Luck Richard, some nice policies there O7
@Emergy, It is something to be looked into and I would say help can be found for sure. Great job on running call to arms also! Thanks! o/
"Another policy will be to set up a public Justice System, handling bans from National Forums and IRC, including proof of misdeeds, chance for appeal and steps to take to be unbanned. Forums and Channels not taking part will be replaced"
So basically if you don't get given control of the forums you will try to ban them? I'm not giving my personal information to a forum run by NE when their spokesman has stolen from the government, in Canada their details were stolen by a rogue forum admin.
I'd be less affronted if you actually said what this mysterious "Justice System" would be. For all we know it could be run by Goku!
There will be a justice system based on appeals from said banned person to check the reason for banning and to make it know to everyone the reason for the banning and as a way of 'setting an example' so that others will not do these things in the future if the ban was for a legitimate offence. It will be headed up by the MoLA (Prime Minister) who will be Lady Macbeth II

Voted for 6 GBP. Seems money can buy my vote. (;
Will the justice system go through every banned person from the forums if you win? If so, I have plenty of evidence against Goku ever getting unbanned, including impersonation of moderators, multiple accounts and insults.
Also, since I try to be a nice guy: Best of luck tomorrow.
It will be an unbiased system Thomas, thanks for trying 🙂
Given that you and and New Era cooked up this manifesto, why is remarkably similar to whats currently happening? Where is the glorious change they promised? And as New Era claims to be the most inclusive of parties, how do they feel that you never offered up your gov positions for application?
It seems to me that UKPP have been blindly forced to follow you as a result of their leadership. Their PP (see this article's comments: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/we-039-re-all-backing-richard-2151283/1/20) hasn't even seemingly read your manifesto that, in my opinion, was pretty well written.
I thought this was going to be a multi-party super cabinet the lack of eso is disturbing compared to the 4 from UKPP.I fully understand that you want people in your cabinet that you know just wish you would have said this at the start instead of the multi-party super cabinet that was promised
A shame you have over looked a number of good people in ESO.
I wanted to see betafoxtrot return in the education minster role as he has done such a good job in the role but i know its not my decision
@Rory - change will happen but it can not be instant, it needs to be managed and adapted for the best of the country. The positions were chosen as for who we believe is best for the job and to help guide the coutnry through its change. The under ministers for the cabinet are all open to applications though.
@Spygon- There were many people that were looked at to take on positions. One thing i can say is that there were people chosen for their skills not just for their party lines. There will always be some people that unfortunately arnt chosen who deserve to be, every effort will be made to get them involved to some extent and aspect of the government
Why become the figurehead for change then? Same positions, same selection process (pick from the partys that support you) with no change or creativity. You've melded together all the opposition party's into a noninclusive, safe and dull alternative.
Nice article, I hope everyone can see what a level-headed guy you are.
p.s. I'm pretty old, just had one hell of a hibernation!
@Rory- As I said change will happen just not overnight. it is inclusive in the fact that it has members from many parties and I have not turned anyone away from it.
A good set of progressive and forward-thinking policies and a fine cabinet to support you to implement them. Good Luck, Richard 07
Thomas, the manifesto was created through a meeting of ukpp and ne members. The idea to continue backing Poland was agreed upon by most there, including me. What i am against personally is blindly folliwing allies in every war and getting nothing in return.
Good luck 🙂
Oh dear, seems that TUP just cant stop trolling. Sad really.
Gentlemen can we have a nice day today? I mean really Niemand...article buying trolling? And your candidate does it as well??? Come on mate...pot, kettle, black eh?
Thomas, grow up mate. You keep calling for adult politics then come on here childishly trolling. Can we have a nice day today eh guys?
Richard after i pointed out that your MOD had nothing new in you promised more in changes later on and here we are again with nothing new but the same as what we have or have had as before but with fancier writing.
I feel you have the chance to do so much more but the arguement of being a different choice and party of change is found to be wanting in my eyes
Trolling would imply I was attempting to insult people. Calling someone out for trolling is an implication that you are threatened by me saying stuff. At least Sir Nick answered my statement instead of going all "i'm offended. lol u trollin' ".
You need to grow up more. If you can't contend with civilised conversation then I have no trouble ignoring you 😁
We need a meeting over Public Relations don't we?? ( Aimed at NE members )
Grow up? this from a guy who got so butthurt from one of my articles stating facts about TUP (still no-one.can prove my facts are wrong) that you unsubscribed to my newspaper...now thats real mature lmao
Your age really does show at times Thomas ; )
lol look who's trolling now.
Wasn't that a 80's film with John Travolta and Bruce Willis?
Carlini is in ESO?
Has been for a while, I like him...but not in that way
@Goku, no, not for a while
@Dr Hugh, you can't prove there's not fairies in the bottom of my garden, it doesn't make it true!
ESO is having a bit of a decline atm so not really Richard's fault.
4 UKPP players willing to take Government positions. If that ain't change then I don't know what is!
Richard is right, change comes gradually. You don't just waltz in and rip everything out, the public would be hostile to such actions, which would make the job even harder. You need to look at stuff, see what it brings to the table, see if there's a way to improve it.
What make's a successful country?
All the community pulling in the same direction, nothing else.
Is that even possible though Wayne? I don't think that everyone would pull together.
At least we have a mild inclination towards 'loyal opposition'
@Goku, possible yes, likely no. For a number of reasons.
Goku shows how out of date he is and how up to date he is with current affairs
Carlini is not in ESO
then gokus counter oh ESO is in decline so New era spokesmen attitude is if your the party your in starts losing members your no longer useful to his play for power go figure
