A New Party for e-Czech Republik!
•
by Franz Kafka
Fellow citizens,
Today I speak to you as President of a political party in eCzech Republic (currently named [url=http://http://www.erepublik.com/en/party/czech-party-for-change-98/1]Czech Party for Change[/url]). This achievement was not difficult. The political party has had an absent leader for two terms now and without active leadership could well have died...
I support our President Red Duck and the leaders of the two dominant parties of eCzech Republic (Ivan Hat - United Slavs; Radim - CRU) in their call for greater political and active participation by citizens in the eCzech Republic.
I intend this party to become a force to strengthen the quality of political dialogue in our Republic, but I do not wish to see us rise to lead or to become President: In these times of war close to our borders, our leadership must tread a careful path and be wary of what is said in the name of our country, lest it be used as a pretence for aggressive acts against us. However citizens need a voice in our media and in our Congress that does stand up for the oppressed, for the rights of self-determination for all our brothers and sisters under oppression across the eWorld.
I would therefore like to propose a simple three-point agenda for our new party:
* European Unity - Support the principle of an European Strategic Alliance if it: (i) is based on a membership only of nations who do not occupy the entirety of other nations and that they are at peace with all other ESA members; (ii) has a dispute mechanism that involves the expulsion of nations which declare war on other members of the ESA without the approval of a majority of ESA members; and (iii) is an alliance that does not side with either ATLANTIS and does not set itself up against either Alliance.
* Sovereignty for all - Support national self determination wherever and whenever it is demanded. This does not necessarily have to follow the borders IRL, but must be sanctioned by genuine agreements between the occupying nation and the people living under its occupation.
* National self-defence - We cannot trust the nations we neighbour. Political leaders of other countries come and go, agendas change and peace deals signed just one month ago can be trashed by incoming governments. Most nations do not enjoy the incredible period of political stability, unity and growth that we have seen over the last few presidential terms. We must therefore build our defences and build the strength of each and every citizens so that no country dare challenge our sovereignty or our principled neutrality. I would also support a covert programme to build an army of mercenaries that can cut their teeth fighting the battles of independence around the world.
Finally I would like to change our party name. My first suggestion is "Samostatnost!" - I think that means independence.
I am party president, but this is a pre-existing party with members who signed up to previous doctirines. I would therefore like to invate all Czech's to comment on my proposal and proposed name change.
I would welcome any volunteers to translate this message into Czech for me.
Thanks for reading.
Long live eCzech Republic!
Long live our President Red Duck!
Long live our Sovereignty and Power at the heart of Europe!
Viva!!

Long live Czech Republic!
Long live the President!
Well, imo more appropriate term for Independence is "Nezávislost!". Samostatnost emphasizes that you were dependent on other subject and now you are not. While nezávislost is broader term which doesn't imply former dependence 😉
Thanks Baltazar - that's a useful comment. What do others think is "Nezávislost!" a better title?
And how is this party different from CRU or United Slavs?
United Slavs has a clear message on social welfare, neutrality and society building.
CRU is equally clear on economic growth, lower taxation and economic liberalism.
But for very good reasons, neither has been a consistent voice for national self-determination of the oppressed neighbours in europe and beyond. A small party that does not have ambition to run the country can make that voice clear.
I agree that United Slavs, CRU, and this new party have a common agreement on the need for a stronger defence. But we will never be truely strong as long as our citizens have no war experience. As far as I understand it, this is the first party to promote development of a mercinary army (we've had an unofficial army developed, but that has seen no action as yet). This army should not have offical sanction, as it may lead us into conflict with other nations, but it should be active abroad to develop the strength and fighting experience of our citizens.
Yes, it is, but I think that name of a party should clearly describe their opinions - Like you can see from the name Czech Right Union that we are all right-wingers. If I saw the name Independence, I wouldn´t know what it´s supposed to be - after all, CZ is independent. But if were occupied, it would be good name.
Good luck. I hope at short time you will show your ideas... .
In my opinion, the name change is essential for the political party because it would be a simple move to a consolidated party.
On the other hand, proposed that the name seems not a good opinion, I think we all should sit down and begin to give our views.
Greetings!
PS: as to the principles I believe are fantastic!
John Locked - thanks for your ideas. Please do add your suggestions for the party name to the party discussion board.

A secret military is not the way to go. Similar ideas have been tossed around by me and Red Duck but the future of the Czech Army will be an active one. In the not so distant future, the active branches of the military (not the reserves) will be deployed in "friendly wars" (think sanctioned independence wars or training wars).
Well, I haven't seen much coordination in our forces lately. The "secret military" has one major positive: it does not imply that eCzech republic is on one particular side of a conflict. Of course if there is some well-known czech persona he can be thought as a official czech representative and thus bring some hatred and possible vendetta onto eCzech republic. But majority of us is too weak to be noticeable in such conflicts. And as still nobody (government) materially supports our soldiers it's atm the only way to gain experience and in consequence fighting abilities. And if, in the end, someone suggests which side to fight for - as not everyone can read between the lines of all conflicts - it seems positive to me.
The problem is this: in order to mobilize a force we're going to have to send supplies (moving tickets especially) and a message telling them they've been summoned and where to go and how to fight, right? Now all it takes is one of those messages to get leaked one time to put us in a very dangerous position. Imagine if our neighbors found out we had sent our army in an official, government supplied capacity to fight on the side of PEACE or Atlantis. If you don't think there's a single person who would leak the existence of a secret Czech military for their own personal gain, you're a fool.
Exactly - so you need a force that is organised by a non-government organisation. If that organisation should earn donations from the freedom force that it supports - great. There are plenty of ways for our government funds to reach this organisation without a clear trail - for example being laundered through another organisation's accounts, etc. And very few messages will need to be passed about. This can be done with great care and secrecy. If necessary.
But all the soldiers involved in this "secret military" are going to know that they're working alongside the government. What you're proposing could only ever work if proven, loyal citizens were the only ones who could partake which would be equally pointless as most are already tied down by membership in Congress.
@Jan: I didn't suggested that government shall tell where to go and who to fight for along with providing material coverage for individual training purposes. If there was a mechanism how soldiers can obtain tickets, guns and gifts at "special prices" without any explicit orders it could work without negative impacts on country's international politics. Never mind - as our beloved president said - we (young and reckless) fight on our own expenses to gain experience which might prove useful when czech interests will be at a stake.
Ooops, sorry I suggested that. Reading my previous comment (it was some time go and ideas come and go) I found out I suggested it in the end.
Ok, so you are right. It's not easy to be neutral 🙂
