Political Philosophy
1. Winning eRepublik
I passionately love my country. I believe we are the best of nations, founded upon the truest of ideals and the labor of unsurpassed individuals. Nothing is more important to me then the ultimate success of our great nation. Through my newspaper readings, conversations, and forum activity, I have realized it can be difficult to define success, or winning, in eRepublik.
For me, it is defined by the sole domination of the international stage by the eUS. Although many a nation may strive and become an international power, I believe becoming the sole dominant power to be more difficult. Above all other nations, I believe the eUS has the greatest potential to fulfill the ideal of complete domination. I further believe international success is intimately interwoven with local and domestic policy. Although some nations may dominate without addressing domestic factors and mechanics, these factors provide the edge to dominate eRepublik. Furthermore, I believe, with a strong domestic foundation, becoming one of the international powerhouses will be easier to attain and sustain.
Therefore, in order to attain national success and fulfill our inherent patriotic responsibility, we must strengthen our nation and create a strong foundation before moving to the next stage. Fortunately, no other nation understands these imperative like the citizens of our great nation. I believe we have taken the right steps to ensure a strong foundation, but we are not there yet. With your help, I hope to actively address these gaps and ensure our victory.
Along these lines, my policy stances reflect this inherent political philosophy. I view all issues in light of our ultimate goal and the need for us to efficiently and quickly move towards this end-point.

Excellent work Tarik.
Voted!
Thanks, I am enjoying my reading and discussion on the USWP forums and on the eUS forums. The wealth and variety of opinions coupled with the level of intellect eUS citizens bring to these issues is invigorating. It has been a pleasure to partake in the policy debates at the USWP forum, and I look forward to providing the same rigor and dedication to the citizen's of Ohio.
I am very proud to endorse Tarik as my replacement for the Great State of Ohio. After speaking with him and reading the above I am positive he will serve Ohio very well and, dare I say it, better than myself.
Good luck Tarik!
Havent heard from you for ages.
We should strive for strength so we can defend ourselves when necessary. This war-mongering talk is dangerous stuff and I hope you're stopped before the eUS starts wiping out other countries so we can 'win.'
Fingerguns:
Dominating the world stage is NOT equivalent to war-mongering. My arguments have been to dominate the world stage and be the sole super power. Furthermore, my platforms indicate that I believe in creating domestic foundation in order to create such a power base.
In no place within my discourse have I argued for, as you said, "wiping out other countries so we can 'win.' "
On the contrary, as we have discussed before, I believe the character of a nation is defined by how they act with dominating power. I believe this country is founded upon the truest of ideals, and its people will act (as a whole) with character and dignity when push comes to shove.
Furthermore, in a game that promotes offensive struggle, it is imperative we have the CAPACITY to act decisively when we need to support our diplomatic effort or ensure the security of our citizens and allies. Furthermore, just because one has power, it does not mean one will use it as such and become "war-mongering".
Because I TRUST and FAITH in the character and ideals of this great nation, I have NO doubt we will act responsibility if and when we become the sole dominating power.
Voted and subscribed.
