[CP] End of Term & North Sea Protection Pact

Day 2,389, 03:53 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by Het Catshuis
Citizens, Pancakes, Dovakhiins & Citizens of eNetherlands,
Throughout this month, I have setup a government that can defend UK and win the war against Norway. With great happiness this has been achieved and also greatly achieved our reputation fro friends and countries of eRepublik, greatly gained a total of 7 regions which is remarkable due to the size of our nation and if you have realised we have stopped the dreadful drop of Active citizens.

At the start of my term we dropped to maximum of 315 active citizens of Netherlands. After our victory in the war against Norway, we have gained from 315 to 380 Active Citizens! It was a risky move part of my campaign to have the active citizen population part of my priorities and goals which could easily backfired but sometimes risk can bring success!

We go back to one of our hotly debates, the Foreign Affairs. My minister and partner lancer450 alongside pur ss Willem The Conqueror has done remarkable in the Foreign Affairs area with also the help of Marnix Maximus. With the help of lancer & Willem we have gained great respect within our friends of Aurora & Sirius which has helped us develop new friendship with the west, English channel countries to the east, Poland, Baltics & Ukraine.

Many may view the introduction of Ministry of Trout as a joke, but I do not! A game got to have some fun in it! Our Trout had organised some fun guessing questions which was quite good and the rewards of gold was good!

Our Coaching & Recruitment minister Gen. de la Rey had came up a brilliant project which will expand from this month to June and July which involves something great especially for football supporters!

Our Home Affairs has managed keep our immigration stable with no incidents occurring such as illegal citizens and mainly giving out the immigration form!

Under cooperation between the Defense & Foreign Affairs our MoD team has worked closely together alongside other countries to organise a joint strike and helping out nations which we view as friends & allies.

A Later incident has occurred in our Financial department due to inactivity and my fault of miss communication which led to a CP Impeachment vote. I have apoligised to Daniel Parker of not communicating that well of switching the Minister around. Action had to be taken of inactivity that time. But! indeed communication is important which I should of done which is communicate! 🙂

We are still working on our generation project which hopefully be expanded thought June in the next CP plans which involves a new generation of graphics replacing government banners with new and State MU. This month we have chosen our avatar and soon will be the logo! Willem The Conqueror also stepped up on the helm recently producing new banners which looks great but we will have to wait and see what does the new CP do!

There has been many claims of me being a puppet Country President but I shall deny these claims and my government listens to me & I order them what to do! geez sound like a dictator hue! But seriously all approved plans taht the Minister has suggested has been approved with me after looking at the suggestions!

But our Deputy presidents has done great a job too working in all sectors of the government which has been a successful month.

I would like to end my term with great thanks to our citizens for granting my CPship and good luck to our next CP on continuing improve our country!

Hail Netherlands!
Hail the great Citizens of Netherlands!

Arcanic Mindje,
President of eNetherlands
