For the Country Presidency elections tomorrow

Introduction

As always I would like to begin by expressing with some respect and admiration for my opponent, Betafoxtrot. Again he served admirably as the Minister of Education and presents a viable alternative for the position of Country President.

Healthy competition triumphs once again leading to diverse perspectives to help determine the best course of action for our nation.

after my manifesto if you haven't already.

This time it does feel like a real choice between our current strong independent United Kingdom, where a geo-political savvy Government, can maintain a good freedom of choice in who we host in our cores and who we hold training wars with versus an uncharted, undefined (potentially exciting) defensive alliance.

Any alliance arrangement would inviably lead to mutual defense obligations, conflict and hopefully a measure of extra defense however at the cost of a restriction of choices in terms of training war partners. As a reminder our neutrality is a key reason we've got a number of our training wars.

Make no mistake the UK is in a somewhat unique place geo-politically, sure it comes with risk however an undefined defensive alliances does too. Various nations have had similar choices recently. It's not a new thing. We shouldn't naively change this on a political whim without sufficient consideration and consultation with our citizens.

Personally I'm led by our citizens and Congressional Representation and I don't see the demand for this from our "hardest hitting citizens" and MU commanders. Saying that I've flown and fought on the ground to deliver significant damage on numerous occasions for numerous Country Presidents and if we've got a collective will to change I'll be there with everything I can contribute.

I would only be hesitant if we aren't commitment 100% as a nation, words are easy (we all can write reams of them), real meaningful and impactful actions are harder, bringing less to the table than others in a mutual defence alliance should not be an option.



Manifesto Pledges and New Schemes

Beyond my introduction, my pledge to you. I will continue to foster an active and engaged community. As it remains one of the key to a successful UK. By encouraging and maintaining an active player base, we can achieve our long-term strategic objectives. In Erepublik, the success of any country hinges on the majority of its citizens optimising their Military Rank and Aircraft Rank while working in coordination and harmony. Given the game's development, this has become of utmost importance.

Active participation in training wars and taking advantage of player support schemes can greatly enhance citizens' gaming experience and maximise their potential within the game. A higher Military Rank directly translates to increased damage output in battles, allowing citizens to effectively represent their country and contribute to its overall success. Similarly, optimising one's Aircraft Rank can make individuals a more formidable force in air battles, significantly bolstering the UK's air power. It can also reduce any resentment others hold against our players who are most optimal at doing this.

One challenge in Erepublik is the gap between new players and experienced ones with higher Military Rank and Aircraft Rank. It is crucial we continue to provide support and encouragement to new players, helping them grow their ranks and remain engaged in the game, despite any initial disadvantages they may face.

Therefore, my government will continue to offer advice, strategies, and assistance to help new players navigate the complexities of the game more effectively. We will provide guidance on military and aircraft rank strategies, resource management, economic development, and overall game progression. By doing so, we aim to create a nurturing environment that fosters growth and ensures a rewarding experience for all players.

To further enhance your experience as a UK citizen I'd like to introduce a new player support scheme (pending Congressional approval) and a Military Rank Leaderboard to encourage weekly growth targets (rewards aspect pending Congressional approval)

Of course, I won't be alone in my endeavors. In terms of my cabinet, I intend to continue working with the same citizens who have been part of my team. These individuals bring a wealth of expertise and share a strong commitment to the progress of our country. Together, we have set targets to aim.

I would also take this opportunity to encourage citizens who want to be a part of the government (any role) to get in touch about getting involved!

Together, as a unified and dedicated team, we will work tirelessly to realise our vision for the United Kingdom. We are committed to fostering a friendly community where our pilots and fighters can earn military and aircraft ranks, as well as medals and achievements, through well-administered training wars. We will allocate our resources effectively, ensuring that our revenue supports our player base while maintaining a healthy and balanced financial position.

We will uphold individual freedom and promote social equality within the UK, fostering an environment that empowers every citizen. Externally, we will maintain friendly and cordial communication to preserve our stable international position and strengthen our diplomatic ties.



Manifesto - Continuation of expected Government Activity

Foreign Affairs, Finance, Player Support and Defence

My Government will continue to manage our eleven training wars for the UK. These have been administered to the highest of standards required of our citizens and partners.

In addition, we will continue to support the Christmas Air Programme, Air Cadet Programme, and British Armed Forces Q7 Weapon Rewards Scheme, which enable our citizens to participate in weekly challenges and events.

We will continue to provide further guidance for optimising aircraft rank development, earning Sky Hero medals, and utilising Epic Air Round Battles to accumulate Prestige Points for better resource development. We will also look to provide more guidance for Military Rank development. The provision of UK Epic training wars will continue when possible.

The rank growth of its citizens remains vital to any nation as the military module remains king. This is no different for the UK so all our citizens growing strength and rank is a great commodity to maintain.

Our monetary market activity should continue to generate additional revenue beyond our taxable income. We should ensure our important regions for producers will remain free or in the case of Scotland occupied by a non-TW partner country with 200% weapon bonus (currently our friends from Taiwan). Our tax revenue from our training war partners will continue to be returned. Our "spare" resources should be part of concession agreements with other countries (at this time with Spain our long-standing concessions partner). If elected I will continue to lead on these.

These economic activities provides the eUK vital sources of additional sources of revenue which can support existing player support scheme or be invested into new player support schemes

Final thoughts

Thank you for taking the time to read my manifesto and I also want to thank you for your support during my past terms as Country President. My vision for our country has remained the same - a friendly community where our citizens can grow and be successful, open, transparent communication and administration to support individual freedom and social equality.

If re-elected, I will continue to prioritise player support, economic activities, and military and aircraft rank growth. I will ensure the high standards of our training wars and support schemes are maintained and hopefully introduce a couple of great new schemes.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to continuing to serve the best interests of our citizens if elected again. \o/
