[Ad4CP] Oh god not again

Day 3,084, 07:31 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Addaway

Yup it’s that time again. I’m putting myself forward to be the CP through the month of May. I hadn’t intended to run this month, or indeed any month, until the last 48 hrs. The eUK is at an incredibly critical time in its foreign affairs with new alliances forging and the global situation, and will have to cope with changes to the game over the next two months that could reshape our experience with it. The first tranche of these changes has been rolled out today.

With all of this in mind It’s vital that we have a government that is on it's A-game over the next two months, and I want to do everything I can to ensure we get off to a good start. That’s why I’m running. I’m not going to do a bloated set of articles padded out with filler for this run, this article will set out all of my priorities and it will be reposted the day before the election with Cabinet added.

I can't promise that I will be on 24/7 every day- there will be times when I am at work and the occasional days when my activity will be very low- that's just a reality of where I am in my life at the moment.

What I can promise is that by electing me you'll be getting an experienced, competent pair of hands with an equally if not more so competent team of ministers. I'm confident that collectively myself and the cabinet I assemble can deliver a good government.



Defence

It’s been good to see a general consensus that improving the organisation and direction of our damage is important for the eUK, as well as increasing the raw number of players that are able to use their energy on the battlefield if they wish to.

Establishing a National Military Unit was a good step towards that, and the more fighters that join it the better. We need to build on it and capitalise on the recent enthusiasm for new initiatives geared towards organising our damage.

If elected, I will put a budget to Congress that will include supplies for regular strikes, both regular weekly strikes and reserves of Q7 weapons for use on Strike Days- day-long strikes called when us or our allies have an important battle to win.

The Subsidised Tank Fund will be relaunched, selling weapons for under market price to fighters from MoD Affiliate Units + the Armed Forces.

The MoD itself will also undergo a shakeup, and the vast majority of the government’s manpower will be directed to this department. My aim is to ensure that the MoD is on top of what orders to set- knowing which wars are real or training, and ensuring that our damage is directed accurately throughout the day. There will be a large pool of experienced people with access to the MoD org and the ability to set orders in case I or the designated MoD are not online.



Foreign Affairs

The focus for the month is going to be ensuring that the eUK gets itself into a viable and stable alliance in a time of flux, attempting to maintain close ties with as many of our allies as possible. It’s difficult to go into massive detail in public. It will be a difficult task, and I’ll be ensuring that we have input from experienced FA ministers.

The FA team itself will be very small, numbering only a single named MoFA. Decisions will be discussed and made at cabinet level before being presented to Congress.

Education

Not a big focus for this month. If somebody fancies writing new guides along the lines of what Cheetah (or if you want to stay on Cheetah) is doing this month then get in touch. Otherwise we will just republish existing material.



Finance

As I mentioned earlier the focus for this month will be on Defence and spending money helping fighters.

We will need to consider how best to react to the changes to the threshold to begin Coups. Its much higher and might require us to reorganise and save some more cash away.

My Budget will be attached to this article when it is republished on the 4th.



STOP PRESS: I had finished this article before the admins rolled out the information regarding the resource wars event, which will begin on the 6th. This will be a manic month, and the eUK will need to be organised in pursuing the bonuses we are after. It’s impossible for me to talk about potential strategies since the prep work for this event will be done by the current CP, not the next. This is something that will need to be evaluated and a decision made quickly in the first couple of days of the term.

If you are interested in joining my cabinet then send me a PM.
