Day 4,153, 04:37 Published in United Kingdom USA by Hillary Clinton1




It has been kinda long time since my last interview i gave, so today i post a new one with the CP of eSwitzerland who accept for this interview and after a long talk i bring u this. I hope u will enjoy it 🙂




Hello Mr. President of eSwitzerland - chris jonadicus, thank you so much for agreeing to make this interview with me, but before we start would you agree to introduce yourself first?

of course
my name is chris jonadicus, i joined the game on 2013, back when chucha was the CP of switzerland. i come from greece, but i wanted to join a small community when i started this game, and i met some of my best friends in the swiss community, so i stayed in here. (for the most part) i am mostly focused on the political/diplomatical/social aspects of the game, while im a moderate fighter in terms of my strength + lvl...


Can u tell us about your daily job as the CP?

well, my daily duties as the swiss CP is to address the diplomatical issues of the country: i discuss everything with my congressmen, i announce (and propose) suggestions and ideas for new MPP's, i also discuss if we should renew old MPP's with friendly countries, and i also renew (or evaluate) the country's TW's. i also maintain the taxes low, and i try to keep our country's economy strong and stable.


What you love the most about eRep?

i love the social+political aspects of the game.
its amazing to be able to represent one political party and to work together with other people in order to bring a helpful idea to life, for the good of your society.

plus, because of the many good+helpful people in here, you can make some good, long-lasting friendships in here as well...



What do you promote and what is ur agenda as a CP?

well, i promote the basic ideals of switzerlan😛 peace, prosperity and stability.
i try to keep our country neutral in most global conflicts, and i try to find us good new allies for us, either in the form of a MPP, or in a mutual agreement with a TW/NE that is commonly agreed between the 2 countries.

also, i keep our taxes low, i try to keep the activity of our community high, and i generally discuss every idea that will potentially benefit switzerland.
also, im open to all ideas and i will accept any new proposal by any congressman (even from different/opposing parties), as long as its a good idea that will help switzerland in the long run.


What is the most hard at your job as a president?

the hardest thing in the job of a CP is definitely the conflict between many different ideas, as all the congressmen have different views and varied opinions on some aspects of the game.

for example, while a diplomatic idea might sound great for the majority of the swiss congress, some people will find it bad, or they will disagree with it because they are from a different party.
then, i will ask them to vote on it in the discussion pannel of the congress, and based on the outcome of the votes, we will decide on whether to pass or to reject this idea.

and ofcourse, if an idea gets supported by the majority of the congress, it will then be posted as a law in the country's law proposal system, where its final approval/rejection will be decided.

in short: in this duty (CP), the hardest thing is the many opposing sides in the congress, and the occasional conflict of interests, between some groups of people.



Can you tell us about your country economy?

our current economy is great, partly thanks to the previous CP's excellent work (mr tim buctu), and also thanks to my work during my term as the CP, where i kept our work/house/import taxes low, and therefore we've had a steady influx of affordable, yet frequently collected taxes.

apart from that, i've done some good deals with some of our new allies, and i've maintained the previous CP's agreements on some TW's that we've had with france and
e-nigeria, which yielded some great results.

its important tho, to have a good minister of economics (mr liakouris has been a veteran player, who is not only skilled, but also loyal, helpful, friendly and very reliable), and to also maintain your taxes low.

all of our work/house/item/import taxes are low, and this has definitely made our economy better.

plus, there is no mismanagement of any money from our goverment, and this explains the good state of our economy.


Do you consider your country as a strong one at eRep or not and if you do would your country can stand against a massive attacks?

our country is beautiful and a great community, but sadly we are not very strong.
we have very few people in our country, and of those few people, only a specific percentage is highly active in wars.

with that being said, we have an excellent and dedicated army, and despite our small size, we definitely fight back and we try to resist against foreign enemies.

i dont think that many countries can withstand a massive attack.
only top-tier countries can survive from that...
(such as serbia, romania, hungary, france, etc etc)


What is the hardest war you remember your country had?

well, one of our hardest wars was when slovenia tried to conquer us completely during the 2011-2014 era, and when the e-romanian MU ''nemesis'' tried to invade our country and to take us over through a PTO. (with many strong players and with many alts/fake accounts as well...

the e-romanian invasion happened on late 2014-early 2015, and it was very tough.
they had a large MU to support them, many powerful members, and many alts/fake accounts.
they took over our goverment, and they stole all of our gold +CC's...

but one person and his friends stopped that:

rican! the greatest player of switzerland, the most influential person in there, a powerful player and a good friend, he, along with the legendary player mungos032, and with the additional help of Publio 2.0, TheJakal, (and mine), we all managed to kick out the romanians from switzerland.

rican's and mungos032's advice and actions in all this war were crucial.

after we liberated the country from those romanian invaders, everything was OK, and then i decided to take a trip in other e-countries as well (greece+cyprus), where i helped them as a congressman+party member.


Your country is a very good situation those days, u have good economy, good productions, a TW to produce gold on help the young country citizens why does eSwitzerland have only 116+/- citizens? do they consider it a not "attractive" country?

you see, despite the previous CP's excellent work (and mine good actions as the CP), the problem is that not many people are interested in joining small/isolated/distant e-countries.

so, its not our problem, but a problem of the global community of erepublik in general.
plus, there's been a great decline in the number of active players in erepublik (in general).

one example: e-greece had 1800-2000 active members 6-7 years ago.
they now have 1056 active members.

e-romania had 4000 active members 6-7 years ago,
and they now have 2100 active members.

i think that you can see the pattern here.
only serbia has a large gathering, with 3000+ active members.



Can you please tell us shortly about your cabinet? Why did u pick those people?

well, my cabinet consists from:

Prime Minister: rican

its needless to say, that mr rican has been a legendary figure in e-switzerland, for he always cared alot for this country, he is a great player, a good strategist and a good
friend.

he is loyal and reliable, and we need such people in our goverment.

Minister of Defense: Axel83

mr Axel83 has been a leading figure in the SDP party of switzerland, he has been a good congressman and a reasonable person, so his position at the MoD was a good choice.

Minister of Foreign Affairs: Horacio Burke/Horatio Van Arsdale

horacio has a great track record as a stable, reliable congressman (multiple times), and he has been a great minister of economy for switzerland (at least 3 times), so when i suggested him for my cabinet, he gladly accepted the position.

the only difference was that this time, instead of becoming the Minister of Economy(again), he wanted to try to help us in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and so far he has done an excellent job.

mr horacio is truly a great player in the swiss politics, and also a good friend.

Minister of Economy/Governor: Liakouris

Liakouris has been a long-time congressman of switzerland and greece, and apart from that, he held many important positions in switzerland, while he helped us many times on important topics.

he was even the swiss president for one term!

apart from his great track record,
he has been an outstanding minister of economics.

Minister of Education: lviz Fer

mr lviz Fer has been a congressman many times, and he has been friendly and helpful to everyone, which is why making him our Minister of Education was an obvious choice.



Do you think to run for another term?

i dont know. i would like to try it again in the near future, but im open to support any new CP candidate, as long as he/she truly cares for the good of switzerland.


You are here since 2013, how do you sum up your experience so far?

its been a great experience: i've fought in many epic battles, i've seen many people, new and old players, i've cooperated with many different people, from any team/party/area that you could imagine, and we have all tried to help our country in the best way possible.

i've made many good friends, and a few memorable enemies.
but i've always had fun in this game.


Do you have any advice for the other president at Erepublik?

yes. i advice him/her to always think of switzerland first, above all.
to maintain the peace, and to keep everything in order: from our treasury, to our society, to the army.
everything must be balanced, and everyone's opinion should be heard and respected.
also, all laws should be voted upon, discussed by the congressmen, and to be voted later in a fair and reasonable manner.


If you could change ANY THING in this game tell us 1 things you were pick to change and why?

i would add more quests.
this game NEEDS to become more fun. (because the society is fun, but the game has been stagnant for the last 4-5 years).

add many small quests about: writting articles/fighting battles/doing stuff, and add many medals/rewards/achievements about them.

i've also suggested to the admins to add various micro-states in the game's map (such as andorra, san marino, the papal state, etc etc), and to also add a new game mechanic:
the conquest of the moon's/mar's regions!
to have a space-conquest aspect in the game as well, where every nation would get special bonuses from holding various space assets in the moon/mars.

all that this great game needs is more fresh ideas and new concepts.
and it could become even better.


Before we end, do you have any message you want to say?

yes. switzerland is a great country, and my dream has always been to make it the center of a small league of united, friendly and peaceful countries.
also, i wish that switzerland will remain strong and independent for a long time, because it has a great community of few, but dedicated and loyal people in it.

thank you for taking my interview, its been my pleasure.

chris jonadicus, swiss CP, and erepublik player.
