HOW WE GOT HERE
Rican

Dear Swiss, allied nations and friends,
Starting a dictatorship was neither a cavalier nor an easy decision.
I’ve been part of eSwitzerland for fourteen (14) years. I’ve seen good and bad governments come and go. I’ve seen hostile take-overs repeatedly. I’ve seen coups start and end. There are many Trump type personalities out there. All real life countries know this and some of their citizens either deny history or unwittingly submit to this narcissistic and destructive behavior.
We have an instrument within the rules of eRepublik that can both be used for nefarious intentions or for the intention of defending and protecting our eCountry. It is called dictatorship and its use for the latter intention is one we deliberated intensively. The decision was unanimous.
Within this article I will explain the reasons and I can only hope that the majority agrees with our decision. But first let me tell you about me personally. I am still the same Rican…. Sometimes called Uncle Rican. I have not changed. I still adhere and subscribe to the values and fairness of true democracy. I am still a stalwart proponent of this type of government… but alas, there comes a time when pernicious methods must be used to protect that very democracy. Furthermore, I can assure you that we will joyously return to a truly democratic state as soon as possible following the elimination of threats to our security.
Over a period of several previous months we had been made aware of intended coups and take-over plans that we watched progress and gain strength. We monitored these events carefully and judiciously. We had inside knowledge of their intentions, plans and methodologies. We watched and we deliberated. We have seen similar methods of action against small countries that seem like easy targets for small groups to try to take power in the country and then be functional and provide benefits to large countries that who sometimes collaborate to make this happen or seek to destabilize and then obtain benefit and control.
At a certain point during our investigations we noticed that these disparate actors were coalescing and joining forces. At this point we decided that the time to move was now in order to protect eSwitzerland from the chaos and destruction that would have ensued. All political parties and all loyal citizens were consulted about what to do and we unanimously decided to place our government in a temporary dictatorship until the threat was eliminated.
Please allow me to repeat myself when I say that we will joyously return to a truly democratic state as soon as possible following the elimination of threats to our security.
We are willing to answer any questions that you may have.
… and so, I remain,
Uncle Rican

I apologize for saying that is not you, it was just suspect thing. I can confirm that your the real Rican.
who are em and what are the plans
@Sisk.... I can't reveal that without revealing our sources.
now that you have dictatorship what are you gonna lose by revealing your so called snitch
The plan is to basically break through the autocratic stranglehold and make elections matter again. They decided they like endlessly farming meaningless medals and don't like having to actually compromise with opposition in an open election and political forum. They simply want absolute power. He can sugar coat it however way he'd like - everyone knows it's simply to protect their unwavering and unchecked power.
Uncle Rican, we are all with you... 🙂
All of your friends know who you are, none of your friends think that you took power to become a despot, and you already explained this in your previous article.

He is the real one, I know Rican more than most of the fellas. Things get suspicious with the leak of the things that he was selling his acc
The "leak" was from your group and also the disqualifications and creation of conspiracies...I think they owe an apology or at least respect 😉
This shows that your articles are not very credible.
In my articles there is no conspiracies disqualifications and any insult, people who are part of the Pirates can write what they see, think and know and everyone have own opinion I`m not someone who should tell to anyone to write or not.
So you are an exception there... it is strange that you share a game with people who do not share ideas.
I`m Swiss Pirates leader and mine articles are official statement of the party. You can read the Newspaper name. We have different views and opinions on things and we discuss about those things and share thoughts and when we make anything official we vote. It`s democracy. I don`t agree with everyone articles and things that they write like me personal. Also there are people who joined the party and they are not even Swiss Pirates. They decided to support our idea. So they write also but their opinion is not official opinion of our political party or like Swiss Pirates,
hes just trying to sow discord, this whole article is just a bunch of empty words. Rican`s name is not a secret
Knowing his name is a hollow statement. Anybody who has been around for any amount of time knew Rican's true name.

Liberation from hardcore cleptocratic auticracy is inevitable. Very soon, Switzerland will be gaucho-free!
You have an obvious xenophobia problem. I hope you can handle that better.
I hope your party repudiates your words.
Nope, I have a phobia from thieves and liars. Not even phobia, more like disgust
then you should improve the way you express yourself.
You have made multiple xenophobic comments.
and that's really disgusting….
Your nationality is only a signal that I do not mark all foreigners as liars and thieves. Only you and your group which is from crying Argentina
You are wrong and have bad information. You are Serbian and you are here with a group of them. I don't see a problem with that...you have real xenophobia problems, mate.
My group will be bigger and bigger. Only cleptophobia is my problem and soon, it will be solved
Dio Brando weeps at your country

rican : ''I still adhere and subscribe to the values and fairness of true democracy. I am still a stalwart proponent of this type of government… ''
*does a dictatorship while saying this*
my first question, is why? why do a dictatorship, when there is no threat in e-switzerland? ( unless someone is invading/planning to attack it, like the e-romanian nemesis did many years ago...)
also rican : ''I can assure you that we will joyously return to a truly democratic state as soon as possible following the elimination of threats to our security.''
question number 2 : yes, what threats are those exactly? is the situation dire, manageable, or something different?
( if its a private matter, feel free to vaguely say it, or to say it in private )
personally i dont think that this dictatorship is the way for anything.
it will damage e-switzerland, it will render the e-swiss congress null and void, and it will cost too much to the e-swiss citizens on a monthly basis.
unless the situation was desperate, of which we dont know anything, or if it was justified.
and just so that i am crystal clear, i have faith in rican, but not in dictatorships.
thank you.
"""crystal clear""" xD
On the other hand, do you have faith in the dictatorship that you bless in Ireland?
Hope things turn out well. You have our support and respect. We will be glad to help
What had to be done was done, good for Rican o7
a whole lot of empty words
1. start writting using your verified discord account
2. give evidence to all these "plots you have been monitoring for months" surely you have gathered gigabytes of evidence in the span of those months
Of course he knows the real name of the person he stole the identity of. Simply saying his name out loud proves nothing.
