My fellow eBelgians,
After days of debate, I have decided to run for President of eBelgium! I am running under the Belgian Communist Party's banner, and hope to prove that we can transform eBelgium into a beacon of freedom and transparency.
Domestic Affairs
This is the most important issue in my opinion and will be intensely focused on during my Presidency. I plan to:
1. Utilize our centralized news agency, citizen.info, to its fullest extent. Daily publishings of what was discussed throughout eBelgium the previous day, what was discussed on the forums, votes that are taking place, everything. This will allow the two-clickers to know that there is activity in our country.
2. Encourage Congress to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to end the exploitation of the workers by the business elites. V2 will no longer be used as an excuse!
3. I will appoint a Consumer Rights Advisor. This person will monitor the eBelgian market to see which companies are price gouging or disenfranchising the consumers of eBelgium. Those who are found guilty of such deeds will be called out! They will find themselves in the next day's citizen.info briefing, and their employees will be encouraged to find employment elsewhere.
4. Get more people through advertising campaigns. Play on the weaknesses of other countries, and offer eBelgium as a place they can live out their ambitions.
Foreign Affairs
We're a small country, but we are a proud one! I advise against joining any alliances that will only get us into a war for no fault of our own. I will not waste our treasure on alliance taxes that we receive no benefit from (i.e. training wars). Also, once elected, I will direct Congress to pass a tax decrease on all weapons in order to make it cheaper to arm up for the fight against the Dutch!
Economy
We need to develop our State-Run companies. If we have the money/gold to offer jobs and products to the market, why wouldn't we? What are we saving up for? Its time to rule this country, not wait for the game to end!
So I offer you a new way! A New Society! One that our workers are no longer exploited by greedy business owners. One that encourages fair play and opportunity! The time is now to move forward, follow me to progress!
In solidarity,
Kylero

People are not using V2 as an "excuse" to write off current economic problems as you suggest. The problems caused by V2 are very real and we and every other nation in eRepublik are working our asses off to deal with them and adjust to an entirely new economic system. Like it or not, this takes time and effort. Turning eBelgium into a Marxist "paradise" where the government tries to dictate how people run their businesses (including how much profit they will make) will only ensure that eBelgium will be left in the dust when other (more competitive) countries do finally start to adjust to V2.
Good Luck, Kylero.
I hope we can keep it a clean campaign.
Thanks Thore, my candidacy in no way is an opposition to what you have done this past month. I merely feel I can do something different.
If I didn't take this game with a hint of seriousness I would support your for the lulz. It would be interesting though to see how eBelgium would turn out with you as President.
A Consumer Rights Advisor sounds like an excellent idea and is highly needed! It's a disgrace food companies where letting our citizens starve while making extremely high profits. Shame on them!
who are the neighbours to the north you are referring to?
