Time to Go Presidential: Connecting eJapan’s Past and Future

Day 1,045, 01:26 • Published in Japan Japan • by Akki


I would like to announce that I will be running for the office of President to help guide eJapan into a right direction. My main focus will be the rebuilding of eJapan and its player bases while striving to make a transition from the current sorry state of this nation to successful one.


eJapan is in a dark time right now. Periods of political instability and anarchy had occurred this month due to the incompetence of leadership. Japan is ageing, both in real life and in erepublik. Our nation has had wonderful leaders in the past whom our nation had successfully been guided in the most difficult situations. However, in past few months, the gap in experience grew; as old leaders retired, new inexperienced ones took over leadership positions. This was a disaster for eJapan as many are now aware. Our government imploded as the inexperienced President went mad. Neither cabinet members nor vice president was able to step in and turn eJapan into right direction. Current government is in better shape, but still lacks the power necessary to turn our nation around from devastation. Major change is needed in order to make us thrive in the eWorld.


One of the main goals of my Administration, if elected, will be to connect the past with the future. Like a Möbius band, our past and our future should have no boundaries. Rather, it should be integrated so there is neither an end to our past nor a future. I will try to bring back some of the experienced players to help lead our nation while bringing in newer generation of players to work together with them to help them understand eJapan and the game mechanics, and providing experiences in leadership in general. Players come and go; however, their ideas and skills can be passed down to the new generation for our community. One of the major problem to eJapan in the recent days have been the absent of the well experienced and active leadership. I plan to fix this immediately and help raise new leaders for the future.


Second goal will be very straight forwar😛 to rebuild eJapan after it had been destroyed by the Impeached President Sugawara. The entire governmental system of eJapan was destroyed and it will take some time, dedication, and leadership to solve this problem. I hope make the cabinet system of eJapan more active and with greater leadership while trying to make a new way of integrating newer players into smaller leadership role for experience. Congress must also be mobilized to take greater role in Governance to avoid future instability. The position of Speaker of the Congress and Minister of Security is only a small step towards this ultimate goal. Most presidents only last 2 to 3 months in office; Congressmen however, serves anywhere from 1 to 12 months in eJapan. It only makes since to mobilize congress to try to speed up the rebuilding and making it harder for future generations to seriously damage eJapan by integrating the Congress and the President more.


Third goal is to increase communication between the citizens of eJapan and the government of eJapan. Currently, communication is still poor; many people in eJapan are secluded in small communities. The bipolar partisan politics had always been a strong characteristic of eJapan. There is a problem waiting to be solved by us. Integration of new citizens into the government of eJapan is a must; the population must have basic erepublik education to understand different aspect of games and the mechanics. Some people are overwhelmed by erepublik, but it is really simple if you can get some help. Government programs will be improved to connect with people and to give opportunity for one on one communication (when possible). Forum and IRC are nice place to have group communication, but there are people who are uncomfortable to just jump into the group when they first join. This is time to reach out to them.


Dearest to my heart is the domestic issues for eJapan. While I have had tremendous experience in foreign relationship in the past, it gives me the most pleasure when eJapan matures and our community tackles domestic issues united. As a long time citizen of eJapan, I have greatest attachment to eJapan and its society. My entire elife was spent in eJapan and it will continue to be so. We will tackle eJapan’s problems and make policies that will benefit us in the future. Before we start looking out for other countries, we must first be able to look out ourselves. This is only logical way to make our nation a better place for us all.


This does not mean, nevertheless, that we will go into isolation; no, that will be terrible idea. Instead, we, as a community, will strive to increase our ties with other nations; integrate people from different backgrounds; and to enrich eJapan’s community. Isolated community can only accomplish little. However, an open community will accomplish far more as more unique ideas will flow in. I hope to strengthen eJapan’s foreign relationship and fully support the new recruitment effort that is trying to bring new people into eJapan. Those new immigrants could add to our nation and help build this nation in the future.


This article only listed some of the outline of the focus of my administration for the sake of keeping this article from becoming too long. More information will follow this article. We will achieve more than the ones I listed. However, those three goals will be the main focal point of my administration if elected.


We, as a community, have a long journey ahead of us. What we are to be, we are now becoming. We become what we strive to become; we lose what we do not gain. It is citizens of eJapan that can change our nation. eJapan is currently in period of transition; it is us, the citizens of eJapan, who must ultimately decide the direction that our nation will follow in the near future.


We must continue our developments and our progresses that we worked very hard in the past to protect.




Thank you for your time.
