Greyhunter's Platform for Presidency

Day 861, 01:12 • Published in South Africa South Africa • by GreyHunter
Good Morning South Africa

I know the past month has been a long and hard road, but I am glad to be able to stand in front of you today in our own country, and announce my nomination for the Presidency of eSouth African for April, under the Freedom Alliance banner.

In the last couple of weeks as eSA Acting president in exile, I have learnt even more about the game mechanics, building friendships with our allies then i thought was possible. Some other achievements include:

- Commanding officer of 1st PB
- 2 Times congressman
- 1.5 Terms as Minister of Social Affairs (someone had resigned)
- 1.5 Terms as eSA Minister of Defence (someone had resigned)
- 1 "Term" as "CP in exile" , not sure if this counts 🙂

Enough about that already, moving onto my Presidential Platform:

Goals I will be setting are:

1) 10% Population Growth
2) 10% GDP Growth
3) Region Return: Western Cape and Eastern Cape

Looking at the above goals, please note that these are the minimum goals I will strive to achieve.

Military

I believe that eRep is made more enjoyable for all, by being a part of something. eSAAF is one of the reasons I logged in daily, to check out orders, to co-ordinate strikes and operations, and to make SAAF a force to be reckoned with.

I have seen the transformation that has been achieved under Zamrg in the month or so he has been with us. As Minster of Defence I have worked with him, Ministers of Defence from other countries, and some Presidents, to co-ordinate operations and strikes. This has been the best time for me in eRep, working together with our allies on a common goal. I am proud of our soldiers and proud of the SAAF in what they have achieved. We are now on the world’s radar, as an organized unit, that can pack a punch. Our Greek allies have witnessed this, along with other SOL nations.

I would like to keep up this great reputation we are getting on the world stage, and ensure that eSAAF has adequate funding to ensure our security domestically, and helping our allies abroad.

All of the above of course ties in with the regions I will be striving to return. Without letting the cat out the bag, let me assure each eSouth African citizen, that having our lands held by eBrazil and eArgentina pains me on a daily basis. To this extent, I will set a modest region return of these 2 regions. This gets a little tricky, as we need to find a balance of making sure that congress is secured, and balance it with growth and getting our regions back. There have been ideas suggested by our allies, and they look forward to helping us to ensure we are a united country and land again. Once again, let me assure you that my ultimate goal is to deport our hostile South American neighbour’s home, with no chance of receiving a green card or a visa to this country, EVER!

Economics

The growth in the GDP is a moderate one. We saw good growth with the return of past regions, and with the return of 2 or more regions, this would increase our capacity to provide a stable and growing economic environment. I believe in a capitalist environment, where competition amongst companies, will ultimately benefit all eSouth African citizens.

Foreign Policy

As all of you know, this country has become PRO EDEN, and I wish to maintain and grow the friendship that we have with our friends and allies abroad. This is a crucial factor, as it ensures that we have friends who are always willing to help us, even on a moments call. As most of you are aware, provided you have been on the forum lately, there have been open chats and votes with regard to other alliances such as BROLLIANCE, EDEN etc.. Let me assure you that the right choices will be made, to ensure that we have friends who are always willing to help their allies out.

Cabinet

The cabinet is chosen by the president. These people chosen, will all have responsibility of moving this country forward, and doing everything in their power to make eSouth Africa great. There will be some changes under my term. I plan on making sure that younger, willing, dedicated players, get an equal opportunity to work under a more experienced player. This will ensure that we build leaders for the future, while at the same time, retaining players in our country. I believe that these positions are vital, and as such, should transcend party boundaries, as I feel we should put the right people, in the right positions.

Social Affairs

This is one of my “focus” areas. The minister in charge here will have a hell of a job. I would like to make sure that ALL our players come back to NC, as well as make sure that we retain all our “babies” and new players. I want an active and efficient department that trains and explains the game mechanics etc to everyone, thereby allowing them to contribute to our countries success. I want eSAHC to help ALL our citizens that need assistance, regardless of their level. This area is critical to the continued success of any country, and I would like this country to be vibrant, energetic and have constant fun/educational articles that allow everyone to participate.

On the 5th of this month, you eSouth Africa, will have a chance to help me, to help this great country of ours. Due to our circumstances, we have been in the shadows for too long. The time to rise up and be heard is now, and lets make the world know, eSouth Africa is here, and we are here to be heard.
