[NoTie4CP] That Won't Do!

Day 4,335, 00:00 • Published in Netherlands Netherlands • by NoTie112

Dear citizens of the eNetherlands,

With this article I would like to announce my bold bid for the Presidency of the eNetherlands after some deliberation with concerned citizens of our country. Not because I necessarily envision another Country President medal, but because I believe the alternative(s) don't provide what the eNetherlands need in the next few very essential months for our country.

On the one hand an option is offered that seems wanting to roll back most of the thing we as country have achieved in the past, like our government Programs, long-term plans like the Black Friday Fund and a better and fairer Congress independent from Forum. To realize how dire the situation was before that very year click. On the other hand we have an option that is more palpable, but frankly it seems all up in the air whether or not said option will be around daily (based on recent activity) or whether said option is properly known with the intrinsics of the eNetherlands, their people and its Government.

Much is after all at stake, and a gate-keeper won't do. The eNetherlands has seen a very promising increase in fighter activity and that can't be squandered : we need more battles to keep this momentum going. The current proposed ''Black Friday Fund'' needs to be realized and measurements need to be taken in advance in order for it to succeed. Our oft-forgotten Asteria friends are riling up to fight against the enemies of CODE, and we need to be ready.

With a NoTie Presidency I promise you the following three matters:
- We will seek more (training) battles to add to our current ones, in order to accommodate the very promising increase of fighters in our country.
- We will make the final preparations for the ''Black Friday Fund''. The Government has saved a lot of funds from your money over the past couple of months and we intend to give it back to you that profits both the individual and eNL!
- We will seek an opportunity to aid our allies in a true effort to help them out. Besides the Training Wars, we surely can do more - as one of the few well-off countries in our unoccupied state of affairs - to help those that helped us in the past.

The Programs will be kept running, of course. As Minister of Defence and Monetary Market Manager I have cautiously balanced between aiding our citizens and keeping a tight balance (although most of it is thanks to the most diligent Janty F) and I intend to continue doing so. Over the past year, our reserves have increased tenfold and are well up in the millions. Money that belongs to you! With recent improvements of both the Flying Dutchman and the Green Beret, I am looking forward to enhance our future towards that what truly matters in the game: More Legends, more Air Ranks and more self-sufficient producers.


And now on to some (very old) quotes about me in the past to feel better about my depressed self:

''[...] unless we get a player like Tonie to call the shots again. You can say and think a lot about him and agree or disagree but he did give us action and something to fight for.''
- Weekstrom

''eNL would be up the creek without a paddle without Tonie, he basically runs the country because nobody else does.''
- Fhaemita

''Tonie: Very active and wide support among the citizens. He is seems to be suitable as the poster-child or our country as well.''
- Trannsvaal

''[...], however since we are strapped for cash, and i'm not tonie 😉 we will first need to get some money together.''
- odan

''''The war with Netherlands, if they win this battle *Which NoTie seems fairly keen to win* the battle will be ended.'''
- Some German
