[Dozzer4CP] We go again! / On y retourne! EN/FR
Dozzer_x
The primaries in the Canadian Progressive Front have ended, and the party has selected my as their endorsement for this month’s CP election. 24 people voted in the primary, and the results were as follows:
Dozzer_x - 23 votes
DMV3 - 1 vote
Rylde - 0 votes
Considering this situation, I believe I can say that I have a strong mandate from the CPF to run in this election, and I’d like to thank them for their endorsement.
I’ve also been informed that the members of the Imperial Wolves party have decided to endorse me as their presidential candidate in this election. I’m very grateful to them, and I promise that I will follow my principles and form an inclusive and diverse Cabinet. IW has always sent competent people in government, and I’m sure this will not change.
At the same time, I’d like to announce that I’m looking forward to cooperate with all political players in Canada, and I’ll be grateful for every other party endorsement I will get. I believe it is my duty to form an wide-ranging cabinet, considering the very difficult situation Canada will find itself in this next month.
I’ll structure my presidential article in three parts, with several chapters:. Part I
a. Foreign affairs;
b. Defence & War;
c. New cabinet structure.
Part II
d. Internal and Francophone affairs;
e. More foreign affairs;
f. Conclusion
Part III - Cabinet
This subject is probably the most important one of this election, considering the situation the e-world finds itself in. Next month, there is a huge chance that there will be no more LETO and Asteria, and no more Sirius and Aurora. This means Canada needs a responsible foreign affairs team that can ensure us a good place in a new alliance, a place that our country deserves after the great efforts we have done as a nation in these pasts few months.
This difficult situation means that Canada should not start a war at all. Starting a war in a period of alliance shift will bring us difficulties. There is plenty of time for war. But our absolute priority must be foreign affairs. The world is not going to end in October.
Having been Minister for Foreign Affairs in these past three months, I’ve had the opportunity to meet statesmen from all over the world and get information on other countries, as well as on alliances. As LETO’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs, I’ve also had access to Asteria channels and could observe the difference between an alliance of big countries and one of small countries. And I’ve reached a conclusion.
And that conclusion is that what would be best for Canada is to be part of a regional alliance, with close allies. An alliance made not for damage, but for friendship and actual mutual support. Naturally, I don’t ignore the fact that we need big countries behind us if we want to go to war or are attacked. It is only normal for us to keep strong relations and mutual trust with some big countries, to keep them as allies, but we should orientate ourselves towards forming an alliance with countries that have always been there for us and we have always been there for them.
I know that players in Canada, like players in all eRepublik, need war from time to time because they have lots of resources to spend. And I do agree that war is a good thing in this game. But it’s only good when you have the money for it and when you have a stable situation in what concerns international relations.
Canada, in this moment, and in the next month, will have neither. Of course, if we try harder we can get the money for it, but those will be useless if we decide to start a war in the middle of an alliance shift. If we manage to resolve the diplomatic issues, I promise Canada that plans for a war and possibly a war may also be done under my term, if elected. But need to get everything sorted before, we can’t risk diplomatic isolation or another wipe.
The new Cabinet structure that I’ve proposed is more suitable to coordinating a war, and I would also like to propose that a new structure is formed in Canada: a Supreme Military Council, made up of representatives from all Canadian MUs. If I get to be elected President, I’ll work on getting this organism on track and proposing the necessary legislation in Congress.
Let’s face it. The game is mainly about war, and there need to be proper structures for it. Of course, I’m far from advocating military control over the government, but I do think that the military units need to have more say in government affairs. They are not here to serve the government, the government is here to serve the people and the military units they are part of.
From my own experience, I can say that the RL cabinet structure does not work that well within the context of this game. Therefore, I think we should go on four aspects: strategy and analysis; cooperation and coordination; supply; internal affairs. Some people may not see this, but there are aspects to today’s domains, like foreign affairs and defence, that are deeply interlinked and would work better if put together.
There will be 11 Secretariats, each with a clear role and clear duties. This way, each government member can be more focused on their role, and do less multi-tasking. The only ones who should be doing multi-tasking are the President and the Prime Minister.
The general scheme of my Cabinet would look like this:
a. Presidency of Canada
b. Prime Minister of Canada
c. General Secretariat of the Government
-- Council of Advisors
d. Department of Strategy
-- Secretariat for foreign analysis;
-- Secretariat for military analysis and strategy;
-- Secretariat for financial analysis and market strategy;
e. Department of Cooperation and Coordination
-- Secretariat for international cooperation (will serve as MoFA in-game);
-- Secretariat for internal military coordination;
-- Secretariat for allied cooperation and coordination;
-- Secretariat for war affairs;
f. Department of Supply
-- Secretariat for financial supply (will serve as Governor in-game);
-- Secretariat for combat orders and military supplies
g. Department of Internal Affairs
-- Secretariat for Francophone Affairs;
-- Secretariat for Education (will serve as MoE in-game).
Un de mes objectifs est d'obtenir la communauté française impliqué activement dans les affaires du Canada. En tant que président francophone, je crois qu’il est mon devoir de le faire. Alors, je veux presenter une version courte de mon article en français.
Tout d'abord, je dois dire que les affaires étrangères seront les plus importantes le mois prochain. Un changement d'alliance aura lieu. L'ordre mondial actuel sera annulé. Dans ce cas, je pense qu’avant d'aller à la guerre, nous devons résoudre nos problèmes diplomatiques. Et cela ne peut être fait sans une équipe compétente.
Il est de mon avis que notre direction diplomatique doit être orienté vers la formation d'une alliance avec nos partenaires les plus proches, une alliance régionale. Il a également impératif pour nous de coopérer avec les grandes nations qui sont notres allies.
En ce qui concerne le gouvernement, je veux changer sa structure. Elle sera basée sur certaines domaines principaux: la stratégie et l'analyse, la coordination et la coopération, l’approvisionnement, et les affaires interieures. Vous pouvez voir la structure proposée par le gouvernement dans la version anglaise.

Good luck with your campaign!/Bonne chance!
Good luck bro! o7
Dozzer for CP !
Says can't risk a lot and that translates in a CPF kinda boring.
GL filling all your secretary roles talk about over complicating things.
We've had lots of fun getting Chile out of Europe. We don't have time to get wiped, we need to have a good diplomatic standing this month.
It's only sensible to choose Canada in a good diplomatic standing over Canada with no Congress.
Whats that when I read you babble all I can do is think of an Airstrike.
AIRSTRIKE!!!
F*cking good diplomatic standing robot. Games are supposed to be fun.
It's not fun when you get us wiped for months.
I find there good bonding experiences.
We will mark your vote as doubtful then Rylde.
I will admit ED that response got the desired result. I chuckled pretty hard.
Good balance and structure, well done.
Best of luck!!
tl;dr version:
It'd probably be better time to have a good diplomat for CP than a warrior right about now.
Dozzer is clearly the _smart_ choice this election, even if he's not the sexy one. Sorry, Dozzer, next time try a bikini.
Nah, kilts are better.
"IW has always sent competent people in government, and I’m sure this will not change."
I have truly never laughed as hard as I just did.
Well might I add its going to be another boring month if we see a Dozzer presidency.
Yeah that is funny 🙂 Keep trolling it amuses me.
Their one and only president-elect was the best in history. Period.
Well trolled, sir.

Really really one of the best candidacy I've ever read.
One mistake:
"Next month, there is a huge chance that there will be no more LETO and Asteria, and no more Sirius and Aurora."
There will be Aurora. There won't be the other three alliances.
There is also a huge chance that Aurora will no longer be, because Bulgaria and Romania may sign some sort of deal. And there are, of course, other reasons.
They maybe sign the deal, there will be lots of deals, but Aurora won't divide/separate/change for sure 🙂
I'm pretty new here, can someone explain to me what LETO, Asteria, Sirius, and Aurora are, and what countries are involved?
Sirius is:
Spain
United-Kingdom
Poland
Ukraine
Turkey
Croatia
They are considered one of the major power groups in the game.
Aurora is:
Italy
Germany
Mexico
Venezuela
Bulgaria
Indonesia
Ireland
Chile
Paraguay
Republic-of-Macedonia
They are considered the little brother of Sirius. Looking out for mostly their own interests but also with an eye toward Sirius.
Asteria is:
Romania
Brazil
China
Argentina
Greece
Slovenia
Serbia
The other major power group.
LETO is:
Canada
Czech-Republic
Australia
Republic of Moldova
Portugal
Iran
Israel
Peru
Colombia
Montenegro
Taiwan
Belarus
The little brother of Asteria. Ditto on above.
There are other alliances in eRep but currently these are the main ones. The basic premise is that Sirius/Aurora fights Asteria/LETO.

thanks for the link! gonna check this stuff out
Part I.a. I agree completely. We have come too far to toss it all aside now.
Part I.b. Where did all the money go? We were supposed to be funding a war chest. Do we need to raise the WT 1 or 2%? With the high cost of CO's I think it should be addressed. Also a Supreme Military Council would be interesting but we already have similar with the MoD MU thread. The CP usually is on board with the concerns of MU commanders. Finally I agree we should be careful in planning any war, especially now, but there are always options. (AS India anyone?)
Part I.c. While I like to have a lot of people around to offer opinions I also believe that 'less is more' in command structure. It will be interesting to see if You and your PM can keep up with all the peeps.
I feel like I am reading the lyrics to a Grateful Dead song. And like an actual Grateful Dead song, it just makes me tired and angry.
This is a war game. War includes an element of risk. We have to take risks, or people get bored and the country doesn't grow. Your advice is to stay calm, keep low, and suck up to the Balkan states like a good little lapdog.
Foreign affairs is surely important, but not as important as attrition. If all we can do is twiddle alliances, count our nickels and be polite to everyone in case something happens, it's boring as hell to everyone but the twiddlers at the top. People go elsewhere because they are bored. Or they just quit the game.
You're advocating for the military to have more say in government affairs, but then you want to park the military because such-and-such might happen next month, or this-and-that may surely almost come to pass. And you want to over-staff the hell out of the bureaucracy. I guess if you want to give every active eCan citizen an official spot in your cabinet, that might keep them from getting bored with your timidity and caution.
I was going to say this but I communicate with a gun.
Such and such might not happen but the alliances will shift and shortly after this election.
Last time they shifted we NE'd UK and the very next day the new alliances formed giving us next to zero options. Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
That was IBB's term, not Rylde's. We had just gotten rid of Oinyo, who was boring and safe and more than willing to compromise, and the alliances had shifted because of the new Empire mechanic. And I seem to remember we had Spaniards on our East Coast during Oinyo's "presidency" until Rylde took care of them for us. I remember things just fine.
If I wanted to play safe all the time, I'd apply for eUS citizenship, help wipe France again for the thousandth time in a row and then brag about how awesome and powerful I was.
And if you want to play the game stupid I suggest India.
Rylde and Rolo took care of the Spaniards.... Credit where Credit is due...
Indeed, hero and patriot Rolo Tahmasee was also instrumental in sweeping the mierda off our Eastern pórtico. Oinyo was lastimado in his culo about the whole thing.

CPF is so EPIC
😛
Nice! J'aime ça!
Will be interesting to see how a cabinet structure shakeup works out.
I'm getting all the cool spots.
good luck, quite a meticulous article. Nicely structured and well laid out.
