Proclamation on Chinese Equality
Modelcon
Turbulent times require solid leadership. The strength, will and power to endure rests in the leadership of the Chinese Egalitarians. As leader of the Chinese Equality Party, I , Modelcon, would like all Chinese to know what we stand for.
First, I need to give an introduction to myself and this party. I was born in Beijing almost 5 months ago. After the takeover of China by Iran, I moved with a desperate number of refugees to Japan. My colleagues, Billy Fleming and Logomaster304 all split up to conduct diplomacy and to plan Liberation. Fleming moved to India, Logo stayed in Iran and I left for Japan. During my stay in Japan, I discovered fascinating people, and a fascinating culture. I served as its Vice President last month, and Japan and China are on excellent relations. In fact, if you did not know this, the Japanese Imperial Army sent a large force to liberate Beijing, and to them we should be thankful.
After Liberation, I moved back home, to find the party Logomaster started taken over and the country in sorry shambles. So I joined the opposition party ran by Logomaster, the CEP, and have conducted affairs in it from that point on. Since becoming President of the CEP, things have become much changed. We have gained 3 regions and 150 more people. I would now like to tell you where the CEP stands.
The CEP:
We are a Center-Left, Authoritarian party. This of course threatens many people, who value their liberty and their money. However, strong government is the only thing that can help the people today. Our BIGGEST goal is to seek the political empowerment of our members, our citizens and our population. During these strange and wild times, we need an able state and an able administration to maintain our stability and our peace. We can find this leadership in our President Logomaster. We want every member to be able to have an equal voice in China, to have equal footing with his citizens, and to have equal opportunity to the pursuit of happiness. Especially in these times, an skilled government is necessary for our unity and our stability.
Economy:
Surely this is the biggest thing on everyone’s mind. Just a week ago, we barely had food to buy, and little else. Now, we have over six food companies, two weapons companies, two gifts companies and two moving ticket companies. We owe a lot to my colleague Laffopuritain for these. As he stated in his plank here, http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-dpc-and-why-you-should-join--759617/1/20, many of these companies are owned by members of his party. The CEP plan for maturing our economy is to start public companies in order to provide jobs and goods to Chinese. If we make it through these few days, I shall propose to create: One Q1 Weapons company; One Q1 Gift Company; One Q1 Iron Company; One Q1 Grain Company; and One Q3 Food company. These will be not for profit companies designed to make our lives cheap. We’ll leave the profits to the capitalists.
Domestically:
As I stated before, the CEP seeks POLITICAL EMPOWERMENT of all Chinese. Whereas the DPC emphasizes wealth, we want you to be able to be a force in the community. I also seek to make taxes high, but not very high. Our Congressmen are constantly bombarded with messages saying that our treasury is low on money. We need a strong government before we can let anything happen now. Our government will make future bright, by sustaining opportunity and equality, and I hope that you can accept higher taxes as a consequence.
Defense:
Defense of the motherland is the most pressing issue as of this moment. We seek neutrality. We follow the words of President Jefferson: “Peace and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.” The CEP proposes to sign Defense Pacts (or MPPs) with both PEACE and ATLANTIS nations. We cannot be humiliated and intimidated whenever a major power wants to have some fun with us. Getting at least one Q4 Hospital is the greatest priority. Without a hospital, we can do very little. Our entire nation will be a sad bunch of sick men. Defense of the motherland is of the greatest importance, and an army will be created. Logomaster has run the Chinese Militia before, and we seek to create a People’s Liberation Army in the coming days.
Well, the elections are going to be tomorrow. A vote for the CEP is a vote for President Logomaster and the country of China. If you disagree with us, then please cast a vote for the DPC. I remain suspicious of the Stars of Melijanna, and I am outright hostile towards the Freedome Party. Although Mimi denies it, I still harbor suspicions towards the intentions of a party who was created two days before the election and stuffs it full of Indonesians. The Freedome Party hasn’t even pretended that it’s trying to do good.
I hope we may get through tomorrow, to see an uncorrupted Congress and a brighter China. We can, shall and must make this happen.
May the glorious motherland triumph!

DOWN THERE YOU FAILEEDDDD
For the glory of China.
Once again, I, Laffopuritain, am against government sponsored companies. I am almost positive you intend to give high wages and sell the products cheaply: meaning you will be competing both for human resources, and for the market to sell the finished goods. How are the capitalists like myself and my DPC collegues supposed to profit with this?
Also, the companies you mentioned would cost 170 gold. And thats not even mentioning the Q4 hospital. How do you intend to come up with that sort of money? Higher taxes are good, but to raise this kind of money, the taxes would be crippling both to our private industry and our citizens. Especially the new ones.
I like that you are working for what you believe is best for eChina, and I agree that the SoM and the Freedome party need to be stopped.
eChina, a vote for your local DPC or CEP congressman is a vote for a free eChina. be weary of voting for the SoM, and do not vote for the Freedome party.
Exactly, vote DPC or CEP.
Great article! I voted and fully support CEP!
to clarify, I support Modelcon and his goals of helping eChina. a citizen who votes for the CEP is a loyal and patriotic echinaman in my book.
two patriots, however, can still disagree on the fine tuning of a country. the privatized industry just happens to be one of those.
Laffo-
I did not say that this will be done instantaneously. It will be gradual. Here's what I'm thinking, which was supposed to be unveiled in the coming days:
I want every congressman who won to donate the 5 gold to the Chinese treasury. This has been done before in other countries, greatly strengthening the treasury. If even half of our Congressmen did this, we would be a quarter of the way there.
I shall also encourage private citizens to donate funds. There will also be some other programs that are a little wacky but are in the conceptual phase.
This would not happen immediately. This is the long term plank of the CEP.
Vote CEP!
CEP加油!
good job Modelcon, I love it that Modelcon and Laffopuritain are always having these small but not personal Wars about CEP and DPC, it rly helps both the ppl to choose a Party, and also helps the country will all the ideas you guys come up with, when you guys have these arguments. 🙂
Vote CEP and DPC!
We are lucky to have such intelligent and engaged leadership in China. This is not true in all nations of the New World. Both the CEP and the DPC are excellent parties. However I hope that we are not so closed minded that we don't consider all candidates. Please view this statement for an open minded, democratic China. http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/James_Koenig
I skimmed article and comments, but I think I agree with Laffo.
Let the free market run wild. Why do we need government power? We are too little for our government to be able to do anything significant with money or Gold. I do think that 5% taxes across the board are fine because that's a world average and will slowly raise money. I think the government should take a big role in the monetary market and act as a giant corporation buying/selling money, while regulating the market.
But Government should STAY THE HECK OUT OF MY BUSINESS. THe only area I could a government in business is in Hospital and Defense Systems, and I would support that, but we don't need them in ANYTHING ELSE.
I haven't been in eRepublik long enough for me to give an informed opinion, but I think Defense system and Hospital is vital.
As for companies, perhaps a house company would be helpul, because I will soon not have enough wellness to both train and work at the rate it is decreasing...
Well Modelcon, I think I agree with Laffo and Flemming about government company issue.
I believe government should stay out of most business sector and let citizen managed business sector.
Anyway, I wish your election result will be good.
中国胜利!
Vote for MasterDanny from CEP in Beijing!
