Gobba on the Presidential Election
Lhasa
Dear Germans and friends of Germany,
With the presidential elections coming up on Sunday, I would like to sum up what we have achieved in the past three and a half weeks and give an oversight on my agenda that I will continue to implement if reelected.
Achievements of the Gobba Administration
Barely one day after the last German Elections and before the impeachment went through, Germany was without any regions, pitied by other nations, with over confident oppressors and a broken congress of 8 Germans. It was the darkest hour since November 2008!
In just three weeks we have regained international recognition and support. We are on the path of restoring the value of the German word and friendship, something that was and is very hard, considering the rollercoaster policies of previous administrations and the distrust felt toward us because of it.
Germany, with the help of our friends, has beaten back the Swedish and Polish forces in less than one week and before Sunday we will have all but 3 of our native regions. The return of those regions is also not uncertain as they were for the most part lent willingly and their return dates have been scheduled.
To carry out German Foreign policies and establish good communication with the other nations of the eWorld, we have restructured our whole Foreign Administration Agency. We now have a large number of very active and engaged ambassadors and representatives building a solid basis for future relations. (I would like to thank all of you for your great work and in particular Elisa for administrating the Foreign Affairs Agency).
With no real income during the past 3-5 weeks it was also very important to change the way the Bundeswehr was structured and organized. This has been worked upon for the past three weeks and the new structure will enable our army to be a lot cheaper and more efficient. (For their effort and work I would like to thank Loki, Starkad and Rotfuchs).
Due to the work of many dedicated German Company owners, a lot of generous donations, congress’s improvement of the butchered tax policy, and Starkads and my work with the Bundesbank, we are now on the right path to rebuild our economy.
We have also been working very hard on procuring War Games for the German population! We are on a very good course with several viable options and Germany should be able to participate in War Games within the next week.
Future Goals
Most important is the act of further securing Germany and our future against attacks from our enemies!
We will also stay the course in our foreign policies and make sure that Germany will be a good friend to all nations that have helped us.
Another very important point will be a proper relation and integration of the German congress! The congress has already started working on this and a lot of people have given us a lot of good ideas. We will sit down together with the active congress and come up with a system we all can agree on.
I think it is very funny here to point out that the now one week old congress has been calling out for more transparency and more rights. All that have been around in German politics for a little longer know that I, during my six months in congress, fought for more transparency and more democracy! Considering however the very unstable situation Germany has been in and the fact that our country was without a single region just 3 weeks ago, I think it is very understandable that we had to have a strong government and leadership to deal with the situation and to secure our country. More transparency and more democracy lead to longer time until decisions are made and more information available to our enemies. Those are virtues that we can only afford when we are sure that they will help us, not harm us. It was important to first reestablish Germany and secure it, before handing over more power to the congress. But just the fact that this discussion occurred so quickly makes me very proud of our work! This shows that our congressmen feel safe and secure enough to start dealing with the issue.
Once our borders are secured we can also invest more time in working on a real life campaign to get more German players (as we have been for months). With more German players playing already, a natural change in our community is evident and it is important to acknowledge this change! In time more and more things will be published in German in addition to English.
This time I am not approaching you with only promises, but I think I have achieved a lot for Germany worth being proud of. Please give me a chance to continue my work.
Vote Gobba on Sunday
Best wishes
President Gobba

@Gobba:
Your current TAX system is a disaster. It is far from fair with taxing workers from different industries with different taxes, ranging from 10 to whooping 50%. Workers should all pay the same tax, no matter land or manu skill, oil, wood, food...
The other problem is, for example food. You have high import tax to protect local market, and yet you have high VAT and income tax making food expensive. Makes no sense at all. If you want to stimulate local growth and spending you should have low local taxes with high import taxes.
At the moment, quite frankly, your TAX system looks like you have been been TOed by enemy. Maybe not that much but my opinion is that is very wrong. It stimulates neither local growth or import.
Sorry if I made too much criticism, I just expressed my opinion. I expected a bit of a different answer from you after my first question.
Of course, if your opinion on the matter is that "taxes are relatively fair now, then I shall respect that, but I do not agree.
Best of luck!

Income taxes are 12-13% everywhere... the places you see 50% are goods germany does not have resources for... and therefore shouldn't have companies trying to work the land with a factor of 0.01
Vat is 13-15 everywhere...
This tax system is fair... now of course it can be improved 😉 I myself have made a case for that many times.
We will see how our congress views this topic though... as I believe that coming up with a fair tax system is one of the most important duties of our congress
Thank you for your opinion though.

GO Germany!
GO bba!
y have my vote...
Vote for eHiL!😃
gobba for president
Vote!
nice try Heir...in belittling me and our achievements, why don't you ask those people what they think 🙂
and if PEACE would have done anything for Germany if they would not have had a trusted contact to talk to. It always looks easy when you don't know all the work that went into it! Why don't you go and ask all the foreign presidents 🙂
and Elisa did not do this in 2.5 month. The current ambassadors have mainly been established after my request to highly increase that department, when she started working with me three weeks ago 🙂
Heir is an idiot sometimes. All this was done under Gobba's administration, great job Gobba, I hope you win in the elections, and I plan on writing an endorsement.
The expansion of the foreign ministry was not ALL under Gobba. It was an effort over the past 6 weeks, I had already set down the organization and started adding ambassadors during Starkad's presidency (mostly to atlantis members in order to deal with the threat from Sweden).
When Gobba took office he did ask me to expand it even more, and suggested that I post something on the forum instead of a newspaper article as I had previously done. This combined with a small baby-boom around day500-530 and my decision to not be as strict about the requirements for new ambassadors did turn into a real boom in productivity for the foreign ministry.
I don't think anybody can take 100% of the credit, but I do think that I put in a vast majority of the time and effort, and I had already started on it when Starkad was president.
In any case, I wish you good luck. I don't agree that we should wait before starting the process of handing more power to congress, in addition your definition of when is a good time is very vague and sounds like it could be delayed until after Bavaria is returned! (possibly even until after Mecklenburg is returned).
Anyway, this should be an interesting election! 🙂
iwie hätt ich mir nochn Rotfuchs gewünscht als Kandidat 😁.
Ich hoffe, dass wenn wirklich ein to kommt alle klar denken und lieber für eine sichere Zukunft Deutschlands anstatt für ihren Parteikollegen oder Lieblingskandidaten zu wählen.
Elisa you know exactly that I'm not talking about month here... but rather within the next 2 weeks, if all goes according to plan.
And I don't think I'm taking 100% of the credit 😃 that should be clear. And I am glad you described the circumstances to holly 😛
A Vote for Gobba is a Vote for Germany.
Werde wohl Morgen einen Artikel zu den Wahlen schreiben. 🙂
go Gobba,kill'em all!XD
Vote Gobba, he has a cool avatar
"I think it is very understandable that we had to have a strong government and leadership to deal with the situation and to secure our country. More transparency and more democracy lead to longer time until decisions are made and more information available to our enemies."
Funny, many dictators use the same arguments.
"But just the fact that this discussion occurred so quickly makes me very proud of our work! This shows that our congressmen feel safe and secure enough to start dealing with the issue."
Eh no, it shows that u deny any transperency. I've read the whole congressforum, and so far u ignored any congress decision, that didn't fit ur opinion.
Actually I'll vote for you. Good job, Mr. President 🙂
Meine Fresse, hier reiben sich aber jetzt Egos... 🙂
"Ich wars viel früher..."
"Ich wars dreimal früher..."
"Du bist doof..."
"Wers sagt isses selber..."
"Gummiwand... Kommt wieder zurück..."
Letnix hat i-wie recht 😉
Vote for Gobba!
Jup! Letnix for president!!! 😉

Good Luck GOBBA!!!
Keep Germany Safe, so that when Im done improving things here in eNK I have a homeland to return too ;P
warum gibst du der Bevölkerung keine Deutsche Ausgabe ?
70 % der Einwohner sind Deutsche! Da können die doch auch sowas erwarten !
how many periods do you want to be the german president? Only two or more?
@Melissa der letzte ansatz sollte eine anspielung darauf sein 🙂
@Reemt I am a supporter of the 2 Term Rule and I will abide by it... this would be my second and last term
