Rican's Campaign Speech

Well after two years on the sidelines I have decided to run for President. I have been a congressman 11 times, VP twice and various ministers. So I have decided that it’s time. I want you to know first off, that I am not nor have I ever been interested in medals… I just don’t care about that. But I do care about people, government and politics. Mostly I care about individual rights... I always have. I care about freedom and liberty. I care about limiting the power of government and industry when they interfere with individual rights and the pursuit of enjoying the game.

I believe in fun. This is a game after all, and it should be enjoyed free of bullies and power seekers. In a nutshell, that is what I stand for and that is what I will defend as your President.

As of now, we have managed to maintain one region after endless MONTHS of both negotiations and fighting. Well I will make few promises to you. One of these promises is to maintain Romandie as our permanent region. Another promise is to work towards gaining us a second region. I will not promise that we will get this accomplished during my term, but I do promise to work diligently towards that goal.

Another thing I promise to work towards is getting new citizens. That will happen !
We have plans and programs to make that happen. I am not promising that we will double our population, but I think we can experience a 10% increase during my term.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Minister of Economy ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Taxes will be revised under the direction of our resident economic genius, Julian Anderson. He has kindly agreed to stay on in the role of Minister of Economy. His plans are well thought out and designed to increase the wealth and prosperity of both Switzerland and it’s citizens.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ And of Course ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Chairman of the Swiss Confederation Bank: F4uc0n

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Minister of Defense ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Our exceptional current President, Luka Tomasevic Tomas has agreed to act as my Minister of Defense. We need him in that position very much. We are in complicated negotiations with Slovenia and that must be maintained. Future MPP’s are also being planned and must be administered with great care.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Minister of Foreign Affairs ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Our current MoFA, Monsieur Guillontine will also be my MoFA. He has already proven himself in that position and we would greatly damage our international relations if he didn’t continue in that difficult role. MG has worked tirelessly with all countries especially with Slovenia and has been considerably instrumental in the peace process. His Vice MoFA is Sprne who comes to us with excellent diplomatic credentials.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Minister of the Interior ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Newcomer to Switzerland, Bowen199 has been chosen as our Minister of Interior as well as Minister of Information. He is a VERY experienced player. He is not only active and dedicated to the best for Switzerland, but he is smart and insightful.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Minister of Immigration ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
Past president, Borgogian has agreed to be my Immigration Minister and he will make certain to prevent pto'ers from getting citizenship.

▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ Vice President ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂ ▁
I am very excited to announce that my good friend and fellow freedom fighter, Srog Norsktag, has agreed to join with me this term as Vice President. He is well known and well liked. He is outspoken. He is honorable. He is both brilliant and funny… and he keeps me from going ballistic. He is a grounding influence.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

So to sum up, please vote for me for President on 5 December. I will work my ass off and I will be active on IRC (which I don’t particularly enjoy).

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Now, instead of the usual “vote” “o7” “votato” comments, how about some useful suggestions for Switzerland or some really good questions for me. By the way... the usual trolls will be ignored (you know who I mean). I hope you will do the same.

Thank you !
