Join the new world

Binda for Senate

Hello my fellow eAustralians.

I intend to run for congress again and wanted to give an introduction to those of you who would like to read it.

I was introduced to eRepublik nearly four months ago now. Over those months I've become more and more active in the game, and being active on both forum and getting more and more active on IRC.

I am a member and Commander/Marshall of ACUK - this time last month I was Squad leader in AAR so I feel I'm comming up in the eWorld 🙂. I am Intern to the Minister of Defence , Senator for ANP Victoria, and I've been learning a great deal this term. I'm also enrolled in Senate School (you can never know too much). I will also be helping out our Party President, Sir_C0nstant. 🙂

Where I stand on Issues

I think that having a hospital in every state is something to aspire to one day soon, but we need to build up our population a little more before we consider it just yet. Hospitals are expensive and as the population in Tasmania, South Australia and Northern Territory are all quite low, I think we need to be just a little larger population wise before we put them in. Let me clarify this: I know that those state's population won't or can't grow till we have hospitals there. I mean I think our country should have a slightly expanded population before we places hospitals in those states.

I think we need to maintain our neutrality as far as the big political groups go. It's very dycey to align ourselves with one of them - it makes us a target for the other group's hostility and an easy target at that, unless our new allies rush in to help, which would not be guaranteed. We need to be very careful when considering allies, as to all the implications.

Western Australia has been a hot topic for some time now. At the moment I still think that diplomacy is our best option to have it returned at this time. A war with eIndo would be very bad for us - they would squash us easily and we'd be left with nothing. Once it is returned we need to be very careful with the companies there. There are too many of them to have them all up and running as we don't have the population to maintain even a fraction of them. The government will have to keep most inactive and just put a few at a time on the market as we grow as a nation.

I believe we must keep our military growing to keep up with the rest of the eWorld. At the moment we are good but small. One day we will be a lot bigger but need to keep our players active and strong, and spending money on the military helps with this. We need to get newer players into AAR and supply them with regular training weapons so that our largest population will continue to grow. This also provides newer players with more of an interest in our game.

The tax issue isn't a difficult one for me. I believe we needed to raise the taxes some in order to make back the money that was stolen from our National coffers. We have done very well in the last weeks economically and I think it is now time to lower the taxes again.

If I've forgotten any issues please let me know and I will amend this.

I promise to stay active if elected. For me, a game isn't fun if I can't be active in it.).

I'd appreciate a vote! 🙂
