The World in one minute:
Hi I'm anarquia from the The World in one minute team.
Czech Republic President:
Greetings Anarquia, I'm glad I got a chance to speak with you.


TWI1M:
What difficulties did you encounter when you became a president?
CRP:
I'm not sure this happens in other countries because this is the farthest I've been able to climb since joining the game in November... but the hardest part was separating myself from the other presidents.
My political views differ incredibly from the past two presidents; in my opinion they were very close minded, tried to turn the country away from our neighbors putting us in a difficult situation for our very country's survival.
I needed to announce my very own plans for the country, publically, and state that I was planning on doing a 180 convincing the public was the second hardest but I feel they can at least tolerate me because I'm not spewing insults and spamming my case.


TWI1M:
How do you experienced the attack of Slovakia to your country at
Apr 10, 2008?
CRP:
To be honest, Czech wasn't even on my mind in April, I was either living in Pakistan or China at the time.
Right now I can say, however my opinion on it was that it was foolhardy and an unfortunate attempt to get one leg up on the competition in the region. Thankfully Pakistan intervened and supported the Czechs. I feel that the feelings between the Slavs and the Czechs have cooled significantly since then and wish for more cooperation in the future.


TWI1M:
On Jun 1, 2008 Czech Republic is attacked again this time by

Hungary. The war lasted 23days. What happen on that time?
CRP:
Well at first we had the support of NA behind us and I was incredibly greatful. When the opportunity arose to end the war on a stalemate our president Yugi acted selfishly and tried to drive our country, and at the very lest our economy, to the ground and be assimilated with the Hungarians.
Vaclav and I, the leading politicians at the time publically denounced this but since we had no definitive constitution we could do absolutely nothing to stop the takeover the support from the NA diminished and Hungary conquered Slovakia, taking our pride with it.
I felt broken and wanted to change how things worked, to become a very public politician and to work with the community better We worked on a constitution and after Yugi was voted out of office we worked on rebuilding the Country.


TWI1M:
What are your plans for the future now that you are in the power?
CRP:
My plan is on the long term. I wish to become the first president in the country to stay in office for at least two turns. Right this morning we rose in rank from 24 to 23 and the increase doesn't seem to be slowing down.
I am helping rebuild our economy by increasing import taxes slightly and lowering the domestic ones, I am burning and selling CZK to our citizens to decrease our inflation, I am reopening diplomatic relations with our neighbors unlike closing them off like Vaclav and Baci before me and I hope to turn Czech into the diplomatic center of the world, the mediator between PEACE and Atlantis.


TWI1M:
Don't you think that's a hard thing to achieve? I mean, Czech Republic has been attack twice. Aren't you afraid to be attacked again?
CRP:
Oh of course I am, Czech is one of the smallest nations in the eWorld.
I am currently in talks with PEACE and Atlantis about becoming
MPP partners if this will happen I don't know.


TWI1M:
What you think of the current war between Romania and Hungary? since Hungary previously attacked Czech.
CRP:
I've talked about this before with PEACE's security councilman, lol.
My stance, and my government's stance is that we do not support any war regardless of who is it Enemy or Friend.
What i DO support is the handing over of Slovakia to a friendlier nation the problem is still that it had to be done through war but now that it is over with, or slowly coming to a halt, I am Happy.


TWI1M:
Because you want to become a peace mediator right?
CRP:
Of course.


TWI1M:
If you don't support any war, can you tell our readers your opinion on Mexico - Portugal - Spain issue?
The fact that Portugal openly stopped the conquer of Mexico by taking Campeche.
CRP:
Hmm That is a tough one.
My stance remains the same, I don't support any wars, but it is better to finish your problems and not hold them back. Portugal stop a war through unfair means and you're going to build up even more resentment between more countries, possibly
making an even greater war.


TWI1M:
By saying that you would've prefer that Spain would finish the "job" and Portugal should have stayed silent about that?
CRP:
It is better to finish a war completely or call a truce. There were neither of these I don't feel like Portugal should have stayed silent but I feel starting a war, to stop a war might have put Portugal in a bad standing with Spain.
Or I can just be misinterpreting the facts 🙂


TWI1M:
Don't you think that by getting surrounded by Spain would be a bigger threat than it is right now? Since Spain had intentions of joining ATLANTIS at that time.
CRP:
To be honest I'm not quite sure, because of the previous administrations relations with Spain I don't exactly know what their intentions are. I'm JUST getting back in touch with some of the bigger countries.


TWI1M:
do you want to say anything else to our readers? you have the word
CRP:
Hmm I would like to state that War is not the only answer in this game, it should be the last thing that comes to mind when acting on international levels. Just because there is the option, doesn't mean you're forced to take it. Sort out your differences
on a personal level and keep a cool head.


TWI1M:
doesn't that take some fun out of the game?
CRP:
Lol, i'm a political science major in college. I find arguments and discussion fun.
I guess that's how I am 🙂


TWI1M:
Obrigado. Thank thank you so much and glad to meet you Mr. president. Thank you for your time.
CRP:
of course 🙂 thanks for the opportunity
