Consultative Process - Day 4774
OKayOK
Greetings fellow countrymen. This is the first in a series of articles that you will be seeing from the Government explaining to you, the citizen why we do what we do, allow you to object, make suggestions and work with us to move this country into a new dawn of awesomeness.
Current Laws
The only law to report on is a transfer of 400000cc to the NBB-BNB a government-owned organisation that acts as our bank. This is a run of the mill transfer so that the government has money available to pay concession deals and ensure that there is cash for social programs.

Consession Deals
Majority of the countries income comes from the following concession deals. I will be explaining more on this in future articles but at the moment I can say that for these concessions, we receive the following income. I will update this article with the amounts that we are to pay by the end of today, once I have heard
Russia - Fish - 275000cc per month
Agentina - Aluminium - 50% of GDP
Norway - Cattle - 70000cc per month
UK - Clay - 60000cc per week
Hungary - Oil - 400000cc per month
Finding forms of income are important and I will welcome any suggestion from anybody on how we can do better. This government is yours, and we respect your point of view.

I have a number of questions regarding certain issues:
1) Who has access to the NBB-BNB? Considering it houses a significant part of our financial reserves its important to know who has access to the money.
2) As our economic spokesman Curlybear has pointed out, were our partners informed about us publicly listing our deals here? Did they agree to making this public? Or there any deals we broke that included keeping such information classified?
3) How does HOPE plan on spending the money that we get on social programs? Which ones are in plan? Your Minister of FInance has claimed that the BHA will continue, how much of the funds will be allocated?
4) What other plans are there to support Belgian players? I support asking the citizens for suggestions but I believe a government should lead by example and propose certain programs to give the common citizen an idea of what is possible.
5) Similar to increasing our income, we require a framework to know what is possible and what isn't. What can our citizens suggest, what plans does the government have in mind already. Your candidate and current President has say he has some ideas and plans in mind. We'd like to know what those ideas and plans are.
6) Your Presidential candidate has suggested to propose paying government members a compensation, are funds going to be used for that compensation?
1) Who has access to the NBB-BNB? Considering it houses a significant part of our financial reserves its important to know who has access to the money.
I believe that GenX has got access. I will confirm later
2) As our economic spokesman Curlybear has pointed out, were our partners informed about us publicly listing our deals here? Did they agree to making this public? Or there any deals we broke that included keeping such information classified?
This government runs transparent deals. If they have an issue with it they can speak to me, but I will not be hiding such a huge part of our economy from the public. Certain info will be redacted, but further than that, transparency all the way
3) How does HOPE plan on spending the money that we get on social programs? Which ones are in plan? Your Minister of FInance has claimed that the BHA will continue, how much of the funds will be allocated?
Government, not HOPE. And I will wait for the relevant person to reply, or will revert back. I have some ideas, but will,l consult before making it public
4) What other plans are there to support Belgian players? I support asking the citizens for suggestions but I believe a government should lead by example and propose certain programs to give the common citizen an idea of what is possible.
in terms of proposals and ideas, we will lead by giving suggestions, however, everyone, including you can propose your own idea. We are looking for awesome out of the box innovation
5) Similar to increasing our income, we require a framework to know what is possible and what isn't. What can our citizens suggest, what plans does the government have in mind already. Your candidate and current President has say he has some ideas and plans in mind. We'd like to know what those ideas and plans are.
Well, all proposals will have to be affordable, that does not mean that any idea can not be worked towards. Perhaps some things are cool now, but can only be implemented in a few months. We will present all our plans once we have consolidated it all. We were not given a lot of time to organise a government.
6) Your Presidential candidate has suggested to propose paying government members a compensation, are funds going to be used for that compensation?
For Genesis X, I believe this is a longterm goal. At the moment there will be no compensation for government workers. Perhaps not even for years
Regarding the government programs. Genesis has claimed there were plans, I'd assume they'd be ready to at least present a small outline. Are you telling me there is no developed plan at all, despite years in opposition. You're telling me that Genesis started his campaign to become president without any plans other than personal rewards for government members? I'm not asking for detailed plans with exact cost and and benefit. I'm just asking what this government has planned but it appears there are no plans and that you are waiting for the citizens to create the government program for you.
I will not speak for Genesis X, sorry, I know you want me to but it is not going to happen. I stated clearly that once we have consolidated it all, as in what can we currently afford, what do we want to prioritize etc... I don't want to make this political, but come on. We were ready to go for government, but we lost the election, after ATO impeached themselves, we had to re-mobilise ourselves. Don't take the goodwill of transparency, and turn it into an inquisition. It is quite clear that ATO is sitting with bated breath wanting us to fail, fine, be like that but us being transparent, telling people what we are doing should not be abused for political gain. We will be transparent, and when we are ready considering the crisis caused by your party, we will present everything.
I will not be forced into giving half-arse answers to ATO simply because they demand it NOW. We will give well-formulated, thought out answers, taking into consideration the current climate, economy etc.
I will give answers and they will be to everything you ask, but while I was writing this article, it was question after question after question from ATO on Discord. It is becoming shameful. For a party that literally never communicated anything to the public for 4 years, you guys are so happy to ask a 1000 questions and want the answers right now.
I have asked that we calm down the toxicity and work on better communication for the better of this country, however, I will give the right answer at the right time, and will never ignore the public
Thanks for comparing yourself with ATO every time, it's good to see our modus operandi has fans to continue it.
Just be better than ATO and answer questions from the community. It's not like you wouldn't get such questions if you had won on 5th ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Regarding 5) since the rest is basically no information at all:
Are you threatening me by using NSLP's name or how am I to understand this? I'm not afraid of my name being released but I do want to know what exactly you mean by that. On the other part, I find it hypocritical of you to come around claiming that the ATO government is bad and dictatorial and not transparent enough. Yet now, with the roles reversed you are playing victim of our sooo difficult questions. So you're telling me you had absolutely no plan whatsoever other than rewarding yourself and your friends with cash, because that is the ONLY program you have mention or even said was the case in your entire campaign. SO no, I don't think what we are doing is hypocritical, we holding you accountable for what you have criticized. What we got so far is the current government congratulating itself for the good job the previous government has done and not suggesting or coming forward with any plans.
6) As for compensations for the members of the Government, I was intending to compensate them from my own pocket. At no cost for the State.
Thank you for finally clarifying this point 😃
Someone was overly enthusiastic about my response so I have received my first infringement point.
Again, did you plan on threatening me with that comment or how am I to understand it? There was not a single reason why you should mention his name like that, except if you attempted to do veiled threats. I'm not afraid of you if that's what you want to know!
@MCKitKat: I am not threatening you at all, even if I am familiar your whereabouts like you are suggetsing. I am not seeing as negative as late NLSP. But you were part of the same clique. You and your friends were part of the Government for years, that's a fact. You people simply didn't do anything constructive, anything positive except for banning people from eBE Forum. You people liked to play witches hunt, eBE Forum doesn't exist anymore, but the screenshots form there still exist and can be published to remind you of your role in the past.
Go ahead then, feel free to post them then. I'm not afraid of my past. I have done enough for Belgium, at all times. I secured us an incredible alliance with Spain and they helped us get our first resources. I lead the BTA that helped countless of young players in Belgium at their time. What have you done? Been in a party together with homophobes and misogynists and not said anything about it. Very nicely done.
Excellent work
Thanks
