Hello Austrians,
I'm Miloslav, leader of the AUSTRIAN LIBERTARIAN PARTY (ALP). As you may know, I lead a group of people from Quebec, Canada. We're French-speaking people tired of being hated by English-speaking people in Canada. We were planning to move here even before we knew about the start of the war in Canada. To restart our life in Erepublik we decided to come to Austria. Our intentions are good for Austria and Austrians. You can choose to trust me or not, but please don't treat us like invaders because we're not invaders. We want to live with you, not against you. Our party in Canada have experienced a Hungarian takeover attempt and I don't support this kind of action. Judge us on our ideas, not our origins. Our principal goal is to develop this country. The country is one of the least developed because of its population. So, when we come here we raise your economic potential. I want to be president of the country because of my ideas and policies. I've been living here for only 2 weeks but I already know many things about the country. My plan for the country can be summarized as such:
Economy
Our resources are very restricted. We only have wheat to produce things. We need to exploit this resource and keep away foreign companies, which take our money to their country. I propose to raise the import tax to 99% in order to stop foreign trade in this area and let our own companies make profit. With such, our money will stay in the country. I plan to help people willing to start a company in this area. If it's not enough, I will create some government companies. Wheat is the resource for food and our only way to get money. I propose to help get food companies like I plan to do with wheat. The tax will be also at 99%. As such, our money will stay here and we'll be self-sufficient in food and wheat. We'll need to buy export licenses to bring money here too. We'll buy licenses in countries where the taxes are low and where we can have a big part of the market so we will generate more money. My goal is to transform Austria into a self-sufficient country in all economic sectors. Like I said we only have one resource. To get more resources, we will start companies in other countries where we can have cheap employees and resources. Yes, we'll be hiring foreign people but we'll bring products from the companies to Austria and then Austrian companies in gifts, weapons, houses, tickets,... could have cheap raw materials to start theirs companies. We'll raise at 99% the import tax for all raw materials so we'll be the only provider of the resources. After our needs in other domains will be reached by companies, we will be able to increase the tax to 99% and then they will be 100% self-sufficient. We'll need to get companies with different quality levels to raise the tax. We'll export our products and get a lot of money easily. The money will be both in your pockets (the salaries will be higher due to the high amount of benefits) and in the government to execute projects to the benefit of Austria. The main goal is to help existing companies and the new one.
Society
With my economic plan we will be able to start more infrastructure projects. It will take time to get enough money to achieve them all but it’s worth the price! I plan to build a quality 5 defense system in the capital to be sure that our capital will not be occupied. After this, we'll need hospital in others provinces to bring people there. With no hospital it's very difficult to attract people there. Defence systems will be built to protect our land but it will take time! We need to prioritize the protection of Lower Austria where our only high production of grain territory is located. Programs to bring people in the country will be created to get a lot of new employees to help our economy. We need people but if we bring too much people it’ll create the risk of being taken over by others and disrupt our works for Austria. We'll also need a health care system providing cheap wellness to make sure our population has high wellness therefore is more productive. I plan to negotiate with countries that are occupying our regions to regain them.
Military
In order to have a good army we'll need to have training wars almost every day. Training wars will occur more often in our country. In this way, the whole population could fight with higher efficiency and eventually in invasions. Everyone will have more experience points which is a benefit to all. I think that the war in America is a great opportunity to show that Austria is a PEACE member. Therefore, we should help our allies and fight in Canada and the US. If we were not in PEACE, Austria would be under possession of another country so we need to show that we're a PEACE member! There are only positive points. The whole population will gain experience from the war, our allies will see that we are supporting them, weapons will be in demand so it's good for economy, and we'll perhaps regain a region under our control because we helped PEACE! If some countries attack us later because we were in the war, PEACE will help defend us, and as you know PEACE is the strongest alliance on Erepublik.
Administration
In order to reassure you that the government is doing a good job we'll write articles to show what we did with the government money. So, you'll know where your money is going and the accomplishments of the administration. You'll know our priority too. I also want to hear what the needs of Austria are and what you think of what we're doing. I'll create an organization to collect your opinions and suggestions.
The government cabinet will be made up of people in my party and of other parties to ensure that every ideology and opinion will be heard. In another article I'll reveal people who I think are worthy to be in the government. I have revealed my ideas and plans for now but I'll have more to come in my term! This is also our program for the congress elections.
I know that Austrians think we are people that will harm Austria. I need to be sincere with all of you. You may think I'm lying or telling the truth, but we're here to help you. We are no longer Canadians, we're Austrians! Please take the time to check my ideas and comment on them.
We're also loking for members. If you like our plan you should join our party and begin your political career in the ASTRIAN LIBERTARIAN PARTY.
Only you can change our destiny.
Miloslav, leader of the ALP

Vraiment désolant à entendre.
Pfff je refait ma vie sur erepublik ici il y a absolument rien de désolant. Je peut apporter beaucoup à l'Autriche...
Que tu recommences ta vie ailleurs m'importe peu... Ce qui me dérange c'est que TOI, un Québécois, vante les mérites de PEACE pendant que le Québec entier se bat contre... Ça c'est désolant!
Welcome to Austria.
A high import tax on grain is a good idea. It's hard enough to make a profit or even cover costs when foreign comopanies paying their workers outrageously low salaries swamp the local market with their products. It's our only asset at the moment so I'm all for helping Austrian companies and workers and not sponsoring foreign ventures.
Vulcain, ce que tu ne sait pas c'est que je suis un séparatiste à 100% dans l'âme. Le Canada je me le met dans le... Ce qui compte pour moi c'est le Québec. Ce qui est désolant c'est un pays fesant parti d'un alliance qui ne participe pas à cette alliance. L'Autriche même si elle n'est pas une puissance doit jouer son rôle dans l'alliance que tu aime sa ou non. Personellement, j'opte pour ce qui est le mieux pour le Québec et maintenant l'Autriche. Un invasion par la France du Québec ne peut qu'apporter que des avantages. L'Autriche étant ma deuxième patrie je doit appuyer nos alliés.
If I'm elected or my party get many congressman, Vanity Holdings, you can be sure that foreign companies are going out of Austria.
Hmmmm, my question is, where will you get the money for all of this? State Companies, Q5 defence systems, Hospitals. It all sounds very pretty, but it would cost a small fortune and i don't know if you've noticed, but austria isn't particularly rich 😉
Faringitis is right.
This is just vaporware.
Yeah Austria is not rich but the country have some money. This money will be used to create companies that will bring profits with the export license (it's very profitable I hae one company that get a lot of money like this). Money will go to the government and then invested in another thing. At the end, yes it will take time, we will get what I said. We can also start an organisation to get the money for our projets. It will make lottery, demand money from congressman,... There's a lot of things we can do to bring money.
socialism is not the answer.
It's not socialism. In capitalism we can have government companies. The companies that will be mede to bring raw materials here will be from government but the companies that will devellop from this will be very high. So government companies will be in minority and the other companies are going to export products for the government so the Austrian market will have no competition from us and it'll bring money here for the government and people.
hmmm, my experience is that state companies tend to lose money rather than make it. However it might be possible to make it work.
If they're run well, state companies can make a profit (or at least break even) - especially when you keep in mind that income tax and VAT paid by the company, employees and consumers goes straight back to the government.
So, let's make sure I understand what's being sai😛
1) You moved here from Canada two weeks ago.
2) Your political party is comprised, for the most part, of French-speaking Canadians (who also moved here recently).
3) You want to be the Austrian president.
Where in there does this NOT seem like an attempted takeover? o_O
If you think we're here for a takeover no problem with me. I tried to be honest with Austria and if you think I'm here for bad things that's your opinion. I don't have anything that proof that we are not here for a takeover. You have only my words.
How in the blimey can you claim to the Austrian Libertarian Party and encourage anything short of free trade? How can you claim that state operated (and all related rhetoric devices) companies are in support of capitilism? To be quite frank this sounds to be the opposite of what a true Austrian Libertarian Party would propose. Perhaps it's that the devils of static government have decided the best course of destroying freedom is by perverting its meaning? If so then consider yourself to be dethroned by the true advocates of freedom.
You're right that we only have your words, saying that while you're not trying to take over Austria, you and your party consisting of other Canadians wants to take control of Austria. When asked about it, you don't even try to argue! You just say "Well, that's your opinion."
You also admit that you don't have any proof that you're not. So what we really have here is a fair amount of evidence indicating a takeover attempt, an acknowledgment that there's no proof otherwise, and a refusal to even really discuss it when it's brought up (after claiming you'd want a group of different idealogies in your cabinet, "to ensure that every ideology and opinion will be heard").
Suspicious...
In capitalism, you can't have government owned companies. While IRL, many nations do have government owned companies, that's because they are not actually free market countries, when it comes down to it.
