[NoTie4CP] #NL2020 - Strength, Power, Recognition

Day 4,426, 19:37 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by NoTie112

Dear citizens of the eNetherlands,

You find me on the presidential ballot once again. Not because I greatly desire yet another medal (you can be sure I love my late-night wine and hate getting up early to start battles, but I manage), but because we need someone who can capitalize on the recent achievements of the eNetherlands in a meaningful way. Strength, Power, Recognition - It are the words of my predecessor Arcanic Mindje who took the machine of the eNetherlands to two successful wars and I intend to keep that path we've been taking for so long - especially after such an effort as the ones versus our enemies recently.

Some may know me as the supreme warmonger of the eNetherlands, others from a far-away past may even even remember me spending a lot of cash on achieving success in that regard. I'm however realistic, and from experience from leading my party Revolution & Libertas am well aware of the differing factions within the eNetherlands between a more opportune and a more cautious balance. And despite the glorious victory we achieved recently versus Bosnia and Ireland, and the long-term progress we achieved, the Netherlands is still a precious country that needs the utmost care.

As you may have seen me saying so before, I believe the eNetherlands is more of a family, a clan. Anyone willing to participate in our group, whether that is in our active Telegram Group or by fighting for our cause, is more than welcome. There is no place for archaic perceptions of what being ''Dutch'' is. It is thanks to additions to ''our own'' to our community like Janty F, Fmcv, Smash3er, OMAGAD, SpeeD94, Mongis, Feynmann, Ch4nce, Rainy Sunday and many others that we thrive. Anyone willing to join one of the most active communities in the eWorld - in regard to Government Programs, our Telegram Groups or initiatives like the DemNL Lottery or the International Halloween Community Event - is welcomed, and that is what inherent to the Netherlands, both in-game and in Real Life. Any blackmailing attempts, like we've seen on us in the past or on Orion members, will be fervently fought by us.
Perhaps quite not so original, the start of 2020 should represent a review of the course we've been taking for so long. Despite the complete and totally unexpected reversal of our relative stature in the eWorld, there are still things to work on. Which can be as simple as discrepancies or archaic matters in our Laws. Therefore I present a vision that may not be achieved in my own term of January, but is definitely something we should work on in the long-term - just like we did when we saved thousands of gold to help our citizens during Black Friday.

* FA - Orion
Together with Canada we are the oldest member of our Alliance Orion. I personally feel invested into it, as I - back then against some criticism - got us into there. The personal ties between the members of Orion run extremely deep, and there is hardly anything that could break that. One must face the truth, however, that the affectivity of Orion has been neutered by our enemies of Code. Israel, Cuba and Canada are under extreme pressure of Code. Only the Netherlands and Estonia are free to act completely independently. We need to beware that our alliance is not hijacked by enforced appeasement and bullying, as that is not the path of the eNetherlands as shown by our recent actions.

* Economy/Programs - Communes
We are doing well in financial terms. Between the increased productiveness of our own citizens, our concessions with Iran and Canada and our continuous, albeit semi-hidden, work on the Monetary Market we are doing much better than we were once before. Improvements to our Military Programs and Economic Initiatives show that our progress is a Work-In-Progress and that we are pushing our relatively small nation to the fullest.

With building more State Communes for Q7 Tanks Production, we are getting close to a situation in which we invest our funds into supporting our Ground Fighters, while at the same time freeing funds for our State Budget for other means (like simulating the economic production of our citizens). This is something we should continue to pursue. I have already offered myself for hosting commune(s), so that our investments pays off and we have more means to spend our cc. This leaves more funds to spend on stimulating the economic production of our citizens, as well as the investment in a fund for military emergencies.

* Immigration
My predecessor has introduced some promising changes to our Immigration Policy. And while I'm sceptical about the formating of these changes, I believe in practice realizes what we are destined to be: a nation that together with friends from abroad builds our nation. The simple truth is that we can´t pull of greatness on our ´own´. Anyone willing to join an active community that has active Government Programs and a society (i.e. Telegram) should be embraced. Our internationalist society is the perfect fit for that. I intend to continue that path and invite any friend to our family that is willing to.
I obviously forget about numerous issues.. Foremost I intend to be a leader of our country that respond to issues at stake at any given moment. With a Team consisting of people like myself, Arcanic Mindje, Janty F, Shawtyl0w, Kaczy, Fmcv, Weekstrom, and hopefully newer (or returnees) additions, I'm more than sure we can achieve that once again.
