[MoFA] The Swiss Federation

Switzerland,
I come before you today to explain the current state of affairs in Switzerland, the factions trying to coexist in Switzerland, and to announce the awakening of a new party in Switzerland.
The current state of affairs
Generally, Switzerland is doing great! We have a region in the great white north thanks to our friends from Canada. We pay 3000 CC per month to the Canadians for their generosity in granting us a sanctuary from our European island. Thank you, Canadians!
Because of this region gain (achieved during Alexandre Walen's term), we have been able to have congress, and hopefully another congress this month. Congressional elections are 6 days away, start thinking about running now, we want active and responsible congress members! With one region, we will have 10 congresspersons, and thus 10 citizen passes. Immigration and activity continues to be vital to our prosperity as a growing nation.
The cabinet has been a flurry of activity. We have our own forum, where we have been hotly contesting a manner of issues you will soon hear about (economics, social welfare, military, alliances etc). Your government is hard at work behind closed doors, and hopefully our toils will bear fruit soon enough.
We had a new taxation system ready to go, but Plato threw a monkey wrench into our tax plans by deciding to destroy the small and wiped countries of this eWorld. Plato has waged war on small countries through the taxation system, and I fear the development of super-countries. However, there seems to be some silver-lining, as Plato may have included a bonus to those fighting in resistance wars, and wiped countries gaining strength over time. I hope the admins took into consideration the fact that a country can be re-wiped after a territory has be reclaimed by the rightful owner. Only time will tell.
The factions of Switzerland
In Switzerland, months of combating multiple PTO groups have finally paid off. Both the Cronoss-lead swarm of multies and the short lived flood of Hungarians have both subsided and edged back into the sea they came from. This means the period of unification could end, and, as always, new factions were formed (see The Tragedy of the Commons).
There are the pickles, the AIM, the SFP, the PPP, and the two-clickers.
The pickles are the US ATO team that came to our country in our time of need in order to resist the rising tide of multies. The pickles are spear-headed by our current president Thedillpickl, and they have always abided by our laws and customs. The pickles patriots have assimilated into our country, and are now a strong faction of Switzerland.
The Anti-Imperialist party is the oldest continuous political party in Switzerland. The AIM is mostly made up of old Swiss government officials, mostly retired, who still care about the country they used to be so involved in.
The Swiss Freedom Party is not the same SFP some old players might know it as, it is instead the party lead by mostly new Swiss citizens with a few old players. It is the second biggest party in Switzerland, and a vibrant party of activity.
The Popular People Party is a new breed of activists lead by Remi Remi the most peaceful person in Switzerland. The PPP brings great joy to Switzerland and is ranked 3rd in Switzerland.
Lastly, the two-clicker faction makes up the majority of Switzerland. These people rarely message or post, but they do significant damage and occasionally vote in elections. I tip my hat to those people, although I wish they could join us in politics some day.
The Swiss Federation
The oldest party in Switzerland, seeking rejuvenation, will now become the newest party in Switzerland. I now introduce you to The Swiss Federation
The Swiss Federation will be launched off of the foundation of the departed AIM, but will become a new community all to itself. Look for future updates from the Swiss Federation.
For now, I encourage you all to come join! Congress elections are very soon, and I would love to see new faces in the party as congresspeople. Because the party is new, everyone has an equal chance right now to get into congress. So join us!

"The pickles patriots ... are now a strong faction of Switzerland."
In an odd way that troubles me. Without a doubt my MU mates have stepped up to the job of getting stuff done. Jason Welsh, Mike Ontry and Shaun Carter are some of my oldest and dearest friends in this game. I told Rican a long time ago, before we contemplated a move to Switzerland, that friends are the most important thing to me in eRep. When we did decide to move part of the US based MU here to assist in kicking Cronoss out I made it clear that I would only vouch for those that I had 100% confidence in. The same promise was made when Pickle's Patriots decided to move the entire MU here and take up residence. I hope we have proven ourselves to be of good character. One of my greatest concerns is not to be seen as a PTO'er but rather as a helper.
We also have gained a few new friends since our arrival. Plasmakp, Tomas Franceschin and xxCloveR333xx have joined the pickles in our crazy meanderings. Tomas is quietly doing stuff in the Swiss University. I keep pestering him to say if he needs anything to let me know. He politely tells me to leave him alone. 😃 Who am I to bother someone who knows what they are about?
I would mention Johnny Cache to you. If you have not friended him, do so. He is one of many non-US members of the MU. I miss talking with him since I'm occupied with govt. jobs. With a sharp tongue and equally sharp mind he will crack you up.
I would hope that we've started to become "Swiss". Every action I take it is consider by me "Am I doing this as a former US citizen or as Swiss?". I cannot help but be biased to consider things as I understand them. However my motivation is to promote Swiss and the betterment of our community.
Now I shut up as I have written a second article. xD
I'm proud to be a Swiss Pickl!

*The pickles are the US PTO team
fixed
I'm just saying, but since Cronossos left your preaching has gotten fairly similar to the style he had. I'm just sayin tho...
since Cronoss left - we don't need any "ATO" teams, why u still here?
Because I'm Swiss silly...duuuh. Now was that so hard to figure out on your own?! Anyway I see you're a real genius. I applaud your mastermind thought through plan of making this country great by trying to get rid of the few active citizens it has got left. Bravo! Grade A logic right there. *claps* -.-

Wow so cool, oh wait it's the same people! Where's the new community??? Guys go join them and vote for the same 4 people again
"Congress elections are very soon, and I would love to see new faces in the party as congresspeople"
Which ones?
We're waiting for them to fall from the sky in the next rainy day. Instead of useless quibbling you can do two things: 1)Propose something to get new people; 2)Start a good rain dance. (Here some hints to perform a perfect rain dance: http://tinyurl.com/yky9vol )
one wor😛 umbrella
hailstorm (which destroys umbrella)
Another party? :/
no... just the new name for AIM
😮
Thank you for publishing this informative article regarding the Political Landscape of eSwitzerland; a similar article wrt the eUnited States would be appreciated by many in my opinion.
Good article!

Good luck Switserland! From your friends in the New Netherlands!
