Firstly who are you?
My 2 year birthday is in December and I have been a Swiss citizen from the beginning. As an onlooker I could see that things were very wrong right away and I was dedicated to making things better. First in the Swiss Freedom Party with Paul Proteus and Penguin 4512. There was something about Switzerland as the underdog that kept me here. My goal has always been the same: Freedom, equality and fraternity.


When did you start playing and why?
December 2009. I was playing another game (Stargate) and it got boring, so somebody said I should try this. The people I met kept me here..


Why do you still play?
First and foremost... the friends I have made here. second i couldn't leave Switzerland when it was down.


What's your fondest memory of eSwitzerland?
People started reading my articles and grew to trust me. Then I was elected to congress for the first time and I loved the media/political aspect of the game. I have been in Congress 11 times now !


bowen199> Where do you see eSwitzerland a year from now?
We will have all four regions. We will have developed economically. We will have many countries as friends. AND we will be a positive influence in eEurope as a whole.


What is your role in the Swiss government?
Right now as well as last term I am VP. My purpose is to help and guide the CP in ways that will benefit every citizen. My purpose is to promote those ideas that I believe will benefit eSwitzerland. And my role is NOT to give up.


What do you think of the current alliances?
I have been here long enough to know that alliances do not matter. They are cyclical. They come and go with the wind.


What changes to the game would you like the admins to make?
The game mechanics are set up to benefit the larger countries. Small countries like Switzerland and many of our neighbors are in a constant struggle to keep our heads above water. I'd like admin to finally see that and to make the situation more equitable. I'd like the PP to have more involvement, such as deciding who to accept into the party. This could help prevent PTO's. I'd like admin to be much more aggressive about multi's.


Can you reveal one fact about yourself here that many erepublik players would never be able to guess?
I have a doctorate in particle physics and I'm currently doing research..........WHICH I LOVE.


Thanks to Rican for participating he's a great sport.
