This is list of staff for my 8th government, serving February 6th - March 5th.

A few changes have been made from last month. Most notable is that Lemlin and Volcker have left their positions, as they lack the time to continue their work in the government this month. I wish them all the best in the future though. They've both stepped in and worked during the most difficult period of time this country has ever experienced. I applaud them for their efforts and consider myself lucky to have been part of the same team as these two lovemuffins.

Due to these changes, we have a new MoD this month...

Two time president and zillion time MoFA, ladies and gents, you all know him from before: our very own w3st3rb3rg!

I trust that his reactionary ways will ignite a new spark in our Military and that it will give w3st3rb3rg the challenge that he so badly needs. If there's no work left to be done, he will just bite his nails and eat all the cookies. Between his work as vCP and MoD, we'll make sure to keep his schedule jam-packed for the next 30 days.

... and we also have a new MoF!

There's a new guy in town, and he's here to do business. Literary. I'm proud to introduce a junior member of the staff that will likely be a new acquaintance for many this month - how about a round of applauds for our new Minister of Finance - Styvfar!

Folke will still be around somewhere in the shady outskirts of the ministry, collecting data, making my love life miserable and munching on the free After Work cookies from nearby student pubs.

We'll also make sure to deliver a shitload of figures this month, to meet the public demand of getting proper fiscal reports. I hope that Styvfar shall be able to do this once a week, with the help of an employed team of specialists

Styvfar will release his list of staff later on. Same goes for west. I will update the this post later on, so it can still be linked to anyone questions about who's working for the government.

That is not all though. I have also decided to re-open the Ministry of Domestic Affairs!

This ministry has been active a few times in the past, but so far it has been quite unsuccessful. That is why I have assigned Aliquam as its minister. With his activity in media, I trust that he'll be able to bring you summaries and news of what's going on within our community.

I expect the Ministry of Domestic Affairs to bring reports from the government and congress to the media, as well as covering other interesting happenings in Sweden this month (such as the elections for party presidents and congress). I do not expect them to launch any game activities, but if there's time and AQ wants it, I certainly won't stop him.

Since this is a "new" department, it currently holds no staff. Please get in touch with me or Aliquam if you're interested in working for this ministry. I will let AQ get back to us with a list off staff later, though I expect that applications will be read throughout the entire term, so don't worry if you're reading this article some days after it was first posted - get in touch with us anyway and we'll make sure to reply as soon as can.

A wind of change blows in the halls of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs...

Snaskefar assumed the position of MoFA about half-way through the previous term, when w3st3rb3rg stepped down and focused more on his role as my vCP. This month he will continue reforming the ministry.

Both Snaskefar (MoFA) and Jegarmister (Secretary of the MoFA) will keep their current assignments, but the previous system of ambassadors will be replaced by a new team of diplomats. So if you're interested in learning more about other countries, expanding your network of contacts (few Presidents have been elected without first having worked with foreign affairs) this team is currently accepting applications.

... but there's a calm tranquility surrounding the Ministry of Education.

I believe that Thaimat has proven himself to be a workaholic and has activated the Ministry of Education in a way that makes it impossible for me to consider anyone else for the position. He informed me that he wanted to keep his position one more month, but that he has to leave his post in March. Therefore I have heard that he plans to take in a few new recruits and try to tutor at least one adept to follow in his foot steps.

So if you're interested in working with newbies and teaching them the ins and outs of the eRepublik universe, don't hesitate to get in touch with Thaimat or myself.

Send in your application!

As you can see, I have only assigned the minister positions so far. That is because I always like my ministers to have their say in who should work in their departments. Until further notice, we're accepting applications everywhere.

Please fill out the form and we'll make sure to get in touch with you ASAP!

Yours truly,

Valnad
