My Vision for Belgium
Thore Thoreson
I wish to help mold Belgium into a strong, vibrant community with a respected Military and an Economy that is second to none. To do this, I have enlisted what I believe to be a strong Cabinet filled with people that share my vision, or at least the vision as it concerns their area of expertise. With the advent of V2 it is more important than ever that the 3 parts of Belgian society (the Government, the Congress and the Citizens) work together to bring us through this potentially tumultuous time unscathed.
Communication
With the implementation of elements of V2, I believe communication will be KEY. For this reason, I have enlisted MaryamQ, with her Assistants Val3rian and Beli Jesen, to help us disseminate information as fast as possible. I also believe a Government should be as free and open as possible with it's Citizens, so at least a weekly Address will be posted to keep everyone informed as to what is going on.
Economics
HuCard has some great ideas to help our economy grow, and with the advent of V2 economy module, we have a golden opportunity to really make our economic engine strong and sound. I also believe that a stable peg will promote confidence and long-term investment in the Belgian economy, so we will be working hard to bring the Money Market back under control as fast as possible.
Foreign Affairs
I believe we should continue as an active member of ENTENTE. I also think we need to look at expanding our horizon to include other countries, both in defensive matters and in matters of economic survival. Stilpo, will be leading this effort to continue to build good relations with both ENTENTE and non-ENTENTE countries through the expansion of our embassy system and increased use of public diplomacy.
Home Affairs and State Companies
The effective use of state companies to provide jobs, education and wellness boosts to new citizens who do not yet have the means to obtain it on their own will help us to retain the new players who are our key to long-term survival. Mudduck95 is a person who has shown himself to be an expert in this field and I expect him to continue to develop strategies to do this.
Growth and Culture
We plan to help mudduck95 stay busy by aggressively promoting population growth and retention though culture/identity-building initiatives, external recruitment efforts and increased opportunities for involvement in all areas of Belgian political, military and social life. Kylero has graciously agreed to become our Minister of Growth and Culture to help with initiatives such as the "Aldous the Meek" campaign. If you have ideas to help us grow as a nation, please contact Kylero and we will see what can be done
Defense
I have not found a MoD yet. I extended my hand to both the current MoD, ThomasRed and the current Chief General, Zarsky, both of whom refused. I again ask for volunteers to fill this important role in this time of change.
I would like to see the Belgian military become a truly potent force, along the lines of the Hun Elite Unit or the US Airborne. I would also like to implement a training course to enlist every Belgian citizen into the Home Defense Unit, to stand by in case of National Emergency or Invasion. Again, we have a unique opportunity to to do this, we just need the people to carry it out.
I hope that I am able to answer your questions and I truly see Belgium coming through this migration stronger than before. Standing together, we can and will make a difference. Let me help make that difference with you.
VOTE THORE THORESON FOR PRESIDENT!!

Sorry to have refused, but i decided to take a little break...
Your program sound good, there is not a lot of new things but it's important things to work on.
Communication team seems to be really good, good work to all.
I understand TR, RL comes first. I had some criticism that I had not reached out to all members of our Society, and I wanted to lay those charges to rest. I am sorry that you could not have continued as MoD.
It's not specially RL, but i have been involved in the Government for a while, in the same time i have been Party President several times, with a lot to manage, i had to manage some companies, i was Entente Congress Representative, I'm still Congressmember, and so on... I know it's not easy for you because i complained about the few support last governments had from active citizens and we suffered from it. It's not the continuing critics i can receive from some, because i have a great relation with a lot of belgians players. All together, we succeed to achieve a lot, a lot but not enough... So good luck.
I'm still available to help a little, but i really need a short break...

Good luck, Thore Thoreson. That sounds good.
"current MoD, ThomasRed and the current Chief General, Zarsky"
Jus pointing out that it's the other way around. But anyways, good luck with the impeachment on the 6th (no need for luck tomorow).
boated 😛
This is a good team to carry us into V2. I hope we can find someone as devoted as TR to fill the MoD position. Good luck!
Looking good 😃

bloated and subbribed.
Thore I would love to fill in the spot of MoD as I would like to gain some international experience. But I'm leaving for 2 weeks during your legislature...
I hope you'll do so fine this month you'll be re-elected and I will jump in your administration then!
Don't forget to start being active on irc as i already recommend you...
I quoted that from an article in NL about presidency :
"I believe his ACTIVITY makes him the best candidate for country president. Bok is a good politician but while he is active on the forum doing with congress stuff, his IRC activity (or the lack of) is far from desired. I think it is vital need of consistency of IRC activity especially in the CP position. All PHX decisions and plans are done on the IRC. All major plans that nations enact are started or discussed in the IRC."
To manage his government it's also very important to be active on irc...
This advice is good for the others too indeed, as we are very few active belgians on IRC... 😉
C'est un programme pour les élections en eUK ou en eUS ?
@ TR - I understand and I will be on IRC. RL obligations prevent it for the next day or so. After Day 958, I will have 12 weeks of nothing but time in the evening (minus beer-drinking episodes, of course!)
@ BlackShark,
Je n'ai rien eu, sinon fidèle à la Belgique.
Même si je comprends que vous soyez toujours vigilant, il ya un moment où votre rabâcher constante sur les «étrangers» devient fatigant. Si nous voulons réussir en tant que nation, nous devons attirer les gens de partout dans le monde où vivre, travailler et investir.
Ce qui est fatiguant c'est de ne jamais tenir compte des langues du pays
