Join the new world

Hello there! I’m Asher Di Immortales, and I’ve represented the people of the East Midlands in Congress for the past two terms now. I’m seeking to be elected for a third term of service, and this manifesto explains my beliefs, my experience and a brief summary.

These past two months have been great for the eUK as a whole. We’ve seen an increase from around 7000 citizens to nearly 9000, which is a rise of almost 2000 - a mini baby-boom! The Royal Navy has also undergone radical reforms, and is now more efficient than ever. Communication from central government has also improved drastically with the help of regular newspaper articles, keeping the citizens of the eUK more informed than ever.

My Experience

• For the last couple of months I have been the Under-Minister of Entertainment in the Ministry of Home Affairs. In this capacity I have organised a large scale FryDay (the eUK’s national day of celebration) and the first ever Christmas event. The National Lottery has also seen a number of record draws under my management (reaching a jackpot of 400+ GBP!) and previously I have organised a highly successful Limerick competition for eUK citizens.
• As Under-Minister of Entertainment, my plans for the remainder of this term include an eUK Art Gallery (the first of its type in the eWorld) and a guide to Entertainment for new players to help our youngest members integrate more fully into the community.
• The Royal Navy has always been, and always will be, a big part of my eLife, and recently my continued activity was rewarded by a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant aboard the HMS Daedalus. The HMS Daedalus is a ship specifically for Congress members, and I firmly believe that those in Congress should abide by the same strict laws concerning activity as other Navy sailors.
• My previous military experience includes being among the first batch of recruits to join the Royal Marines. I have also earned a number of military service medals, and I continue to work for Royal Navy companies in order to supply our soldiers with as many weapons as possible.
• I was a member of the now disbanded Recruitment Office. This was a Military Recruitment Scheme which raised awareness for the Military through the publishing of newspaper articles. While a part of this I wrote a number of articles which reached number 1 nationally.
• For the past two months I have been a Congressman for the East Midlands. I am extremely proud to have represented you for so long, and since my election I have been an active participant on the House of Commons forum, obtaining a high voting record on all issues to pass through Parliament. Any concerns raised to me by East Midlands residents I have taken up with the people concerned, for I consider this among the most important of a Congressman’s duties.
• While being a Congressman, I have leapt at opportunities to strengthen the eUK community, campaigning to get as many people as possible active and contributing on our national forums. I have also worked to increase the size of the eUK population, achieving a Society Builder medal in the process.
• On a lighter note, while the forum-based Region Wars ran I was the Captain of the East Midlands and helped us conquer half of the eUK.

I fly the Unity Flag.



I will not try to force my political beliefs onto others, but I will say this: Without the help the Unity Party gave me in my first few days of playing, I would almost certainly not be here today. It is my firm and unshakeable belief that the Unity Party has the means and the will to help every single citizen of the eUK, young or old. When it comes to Congress, I am proud to be running as part of the Unity Party team, and I fully support the Unity Party’s National Manifesto.

My Beliefs

• I am a Social Libertarian. This means I believe in the rights of the individual above those of the state (freedom of speech, etc) and that I believe in a regulated economy aimed not at maximising profit for big corporations but for keeping the standard of living for ordinary people as high as possible.
• I believe in a transparent government that doesn’t work behind people’s backs or aim to deceive them but instead is open with its policies and aims, keeping the population well informed about goings-on and decisions made.
• I believe in a strong government that will do what’s best for the country, no matter the cost, and will do all it can to benefit the citizens of the eUK.
• I believe in an active, honest Congress (Parliament), one that will always stick to the values they’ve been voted in on, and one that will always be available to deal with the concerns of the people it represents and make speedy but reliable decisions in times of crisis.
• I believe in having a strong, well-organised and active military, a military with the support and involvement of every single citizen of the eUK.
• I believe in having good relations with as many countries as possible and maintaining strong bonds with all of our allies within and without of Phoenix.
• Most of all, I believe in a happy, well-educated population, with the everyday citizens of the eUK having fun and feeling secure.

Conclusion

I genuinely believe that I have the dedication and experience needed to be a strong and successful Congressman. As eRepublik V2 is released, major changes will take place in the economic and military spheres which will have wide-reaching implications. The eUK will need a stronger, more active and more effective Congress than ever before to deal with these changes, and I fully believe I am capable of adding to this team. If you have any questions regarding this manifesto, or about eRepublik in general, or if you just fancy a chat, I am always available to be contacted in-game, on the eUK forums or on the IRC.

If elected, I promise you that I will give my all to the eUK and will not slacken for a moment. I will not lie to you and promise to single-handedly change the eUK, but I tell you now that I will act with accordance to the principles set out in this manifesto, and I will stick true to my beliefs no matter what.



Regardless of political orientation, in-game age or experience, I would like to be considered worthy of your vote on Monday.
