Greetings, fellow citizens of eSweden!

Algaroth
I am, as some of you know, awesome. I am also the Mayor of Dresden (gets kinda lonely sometimes) as well as a member of the gentlemens society Hypogeum. I plan to run in the general elections (for FBS) so in the following article I intend to tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do, and why you should vote for me.
I am a member of Hypogeum and the Nobel Prize we intend to start awarding to people is the only thing people pretty much know that we're behind. Think of Hypogeum as the freemasons, I can't really tell you too much about it except for what we did the last time we got together. We had coffee and discussed whether asia really was a threat now or not since they seem as passive as everyone else. One member said that the asian alliance could still be a threat if they acted in an organized and KOREANgraphed attack. Then he started to furiously slap his knee and laugh. I joined in by slapping him in the face.

Then we attempted this dance but Mombassa kept screwing it up. It's just like they say, communists can't dance.
On to the matter at hand. I know a lot of people would like to see more of what congress is doing or at least have more correspondense with the civilian populous of eSweden. Some of you will know that I am very active in commenting on news articles and if I can answer questions I will.
The biggest problem in eSweden right now to me is that our population is dropping. This is natural since people emigrate or become inactive. One of the biggest reasons for people becoming inactive however seems to be that a lot of people want to go to war again. Now, I've been here since before the war on eDenmark, however I was too weak then to join in the fray. In fact, I have never fought in a war. Mainly because it has not been necessary for me to do so (most soldiers are stronger than I am and they also outnumbered our enemies quite dramatically in the last two wars). eSweden is no longer the largest nation populationwise. This does not mean we are weaker than we were before the threshold was passed. The only problem is keeping people interested in the game. Know this; it is up to you to make the game interesting. This is a sandbox game, it is what you make of it yourselves. That being said, I've seen the cries for war and conflict recently and I have seen the responses to those cries. What I propose is a compromise. I agree that eSweden is a superpower and that we should be more active internationally, with that I don't mean invasion. However signing MPPs with countries with similar interests can lead us to conflict in the way that we can fight on the side of our allies. But starting a war in this climate is very difficult because of the big power blocks preventing MPPs by invading but never attacking any of the other blocks. The game is at a stalemate right now. That's why we need to look to other nations to try and make friends and allies where ever we can. Not by spamming propaganda like ePakistan but by contacting the leaders that be in the nations around us and using diplomacy and the swedish politeness we are known for (shut up Grev Per).
I probably left a lot of things out and this is my first article ever. Any questions or critisism would be much appreciated.

Very nice article Algaroth!
And I can fully agree that this is a sandbox game and people who is complaining and whining, do as many else, create a newspaper or stop playing! 😛
Hope that you get many votes Alga and good prosperity to you! 🙂

Thank you very much Betamjau!
Good article, I liked the first part when you spoke about Hypogeum. Is it possible for me to join in your knee-slapping meetings?
Thank you! The criteria for joining Hypogeum are secret. If we think you would make a good member we will come to you. My advice is to be as active as you can and join in debates.
Hehe Alga, is you the old lady dancing? 😛
No that\'s not us. As I said, our attempt failed but I suggested we try to do this dance because a gentleman needs to know how to dance and this dance is nothing short of awesome. =o)
Hehe I`m hoping you dancing that sveltely as the old woman in there 😛
I was the one tippy-toeing in the beginning.
