[Norway] Per Jostein as the next President

Day 2,077, 12:26 Published in Norway Norway by Per Jostein

Hello!

In this article I'm formalizing my candidacy for next presidential elections. But who am I? I believe the new players don't know much about me.



A brief profile

Playing erepublik for more than two years, I participated of many Norwegian governments; I also was once an enthusiastic writer (you can see in my old articles); real-life time has decreased my activity through the last year, but now, particularly in the month of August, I have some free time to invest here.

Some of my accomplishments:

8x Minister of Foreign Affairs
3x Minister of Immigration
1x Vice-President
1x Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs
2x Vice-Minister of Immigration
7x Congressist
1x Congress Chairman
Former Norwegian ambassador to Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Poland and USA
Former President of Partiet Demokratene
Current Vice-President of Norwegian Communist League
2nd Commander and Captain in The Rape Potatoes



A governmental plan

I was a candidate for presidency twice in the last year. By that time, I was the first Norwegian to propose in a presidential candidacy that Norway should leave EDEN and join in Asgard. Of course, my intention was a little bit radical for that time, even if I got some support, it was not approved by most of the population. However, time proved that it was a bold idea, and so of course I think we are in the right alliance and intend to keep the great cooperation with our friends. New allies are not discarded, but unfortunately most military pacts come up against our few money resources.

I was thinking about giving incentives to people invite friends to erepublik. Norway is one of the smallest nations, if not the smaller one, so maybe the government could stabilish goals and reward the ones who get 3 friends and make them reach level 23 or 25, for example. Maybe a 5-gold reward. It is just an idea. I'd like to know your opinion.

A training war is always exciting and I would like we to have some. It can be negociated.

If I could keep the good work that has been demostrated by the last presidents, it would be a great achievement.



The cabinet

The main reason for lauching a candidacy one week before elections is to gather enough people to my cabinet. Of course I could talk with the ones I know and trust, but I would probably be excluding some new players that want also to be part of the government, so that I'm going to say with are the requirements for each function and hope you to send me a PM telling on what function you intend to be.
