[NAZ4POTUS] Creating a Team for Home and Abroad

Day 2,960, 11:04 Published in USA USA by Azazel Romanov


I figured I should start rolling out some of the cabinet as well as get more specific on certain aspects of my defense and foreign policy plans first. I have to admit that a quite a bit of my thought processes went into deciding my cabinet. I don’t necessarily like choosing people based on party affiliation because I don’t pick my cabinet to get votes, I pick them to govern. I've been fairly apolitical my entire career and I've always driven to be country first. My main two considerations on cabinet are can they do the job, and can I work well with them.

Another twist to many of my cabinet choices is to help whom I see as future presidential material, so I intend to put together a team of leaders, not simply followers. This spawned from the fact that my last terms in office were followed for months by those who had served in my cabinet. In that vein, I want to inspire others to run for the office, especially those who have not been there already. So let's get started.

Vice President is often two things, a purposeful choice or a vote getter. I already ruled the first one out, so you know where this is going. I believe Vice President goes to who you would like to see as a successor, or at the very least, someone to follow in your footsteps when they feel they are ready. I have chosen Derphoof to be my Vice-President.



Derp has been around forever, and has yet to become President. Well, at least President of a meaningful country (It doesn’t count if you do it in Canada, Derphoof). He’s served almost every position in a cabinet, and has been a master of propaganda and writing, something I follow and enjoy intently. He’s ready to be President, he just has to realize it, and I intend to push him in this direction whether or not he likes it. Just as he's helped countless other administrations, he will come to help mine.

Now we deal with Chief of Staff. I wanted someone dedicated to work, and someone who has experience leading and directing. Chief of Staff is the workhorse of the administration and ensures everyone is on task. My pick has already had experience as Secretary of State and recently stepped up to lead our nation’s media. My choice for Chief of Staff is Orikfricai.

He too is someone I’d like to see lead in his own right, and right now I trust him to help me lead my cabinet. He's a proven party leader, and I look forward to working more closely with him, and watching him keep cabinet whipped on task for our country. Orik is someone I haven't had the chance to work closely with, despite being his deputy the previous month, so I will also enjoy getting to know him better this next month.



Now we head over to the National Security Council. And since this deals with wars, I will also address that point here. Since there is more than one person, I’ll head straight into introductions. My choices for the NSC are Resoula, Tyler Bubblar, and The Dark Knight. Resoula has proven himself this month already, and I’d like to see him continue to grow in the position. Tyler Bubblar is a former president himself, so I expect his experience to show in this position. And finally, Dark Knight has shown that he keeps a close eye on world affairs, and I value that, and want to keep that asset working for our country. Joining my NSC to keep USAF running smoothly as Secretary of Defense, I have asked Hale Kane to come back as Secretary of Defense. Alongside a larger NSC I hope to also make the Defense department active and updated regularly so that you know you are fighting for the right battles. Hale Kane has shown to be capable of helping me accomplish this. While there are too many to picture, I want this team to help me set right anything that might go wrong.



When it comes to war, I’m interested in getting money back for our country. I don’t like spending, and I assume many people don’t like the consequences of higher taxes that results from this spending. I also realize that the USA soaked up a bit of prime time this month, and when we receive, we must give back, and I intend to pay back for our allies. I want to focus on the priorities of our allies for a time to ensure proper respect for their help. In doing so we reaffirm our commitment to Pacifica, and all other nations we consider friends. While I am not ruling out war, since things can come in surprises as we have seen with Chile, I’m not going to be one to actively seek out further conflict. We're stretched out a bit already and I do not want to over-extend.



And that leads me further towards our foreign affairs. I look for someone I trust deeply when it comes to foreign policy, since it is something quite close to my heart. This person has been a close confidant in all my dealings abroad and at home, and someone I already have experience working closely with in this area. I have chosen Aramec as my Secretary of State.

He's already proven himself to me before, and I will always value his service. We also share similar perspectives on the world, and I value that. And while he’s already had his time as President, I don’t think one term was enough. He worked to make us an empire, and now I expect him to give his best helping me.

Which I suppose means I need to elaborate more on my foreign policy. Everyone knows that the world is changing, and the USA is not in isolation from these events. However, before deciding our ultimate course in these seas, we must reaffirm my commitment to Pacifica. This is an alliance we ourselves created alongside Russia, and I do not intend to abandon it. The USA has a long way to go to clear its reputation as having problems with commitments. I seek to strengthen Pacifica and place it on the right course, looking out not only for our best interests, but also the nations within our alliance. As for the shifting sides, I don’t believe it is my choice alone, and I will continue to work with congress and our allies as I have this month as Secretary of State to decide where our sails take us.

I suppose I can’t leave out our occupation of Indonesia. While I currently support our presence there, I wish to continually keep congress involved in discussions about this due to the longevity of our stay. We have already fought a few significant wars seeking to counter our presence there. I do not wish for this occupation to become an undue burden on our country, and thus I will work in tandem with all powers involved.



So that concludes this portion of my campaign, stay tuned for the domestic focus. I will definitely touch on recent events since it is hard to avoid, and I know you're dying to know my take on it since it's the hot button issue, but the primary focus will be on my desire to revitalize our domestic programs dedicated towards new players. Stay tuned, and feel free to send any comments or messages if you have a question or something to say.
