Alright, need a platform, so here it goes... Since I consider myself rather conservative in political persuasion, I would favor commerce and security/defence in my role as Secretary of State. My goals would be to improve the gross income of our region as well as bulking up our security and defence forces as to protect that income. Also as far as issues such as abortion and other tiring yet somehow important issues, I would remain neutral until the true will of the region was confirmed. So now vote for me!
Oh and here is my cool little campaign band: :band:
-Ryan Smith, Emperor of Poseidonus (A.K.A. Vlad the Impaler)

I'll chang'e my speech:Ladies and gentle-men, welcome welcome...
Take a seat and please sit down.
First, let me introduce myself: I am Lord Sebastiaan Snoeckx (that's my real name - pronounced [sebastia:n snuks]), but my Kritschboilean people call me His Excellency Supreme Chancellor Lord Snoeckx, High President of The Illuminated Republic of Kritschboilek... Right... Secondly, Secretary of State is one of the most interesting things in politics. Why, ladies and gentlemen? Well, the secretary of State influences directly the life of our people. Now, my country is considered a 'corrupt dictatorship', high civil rights, no political freedoms, and a imploded economy - at the moment, we are busy with getting it to a powerhouse -. So my State policy will be one of no political freedom, high civil rights and a strong economy. With some environmental and socially progressive concepts in it. Please, conservatives, don't think I am a socialist, environmentalist or even a communist! I am merely a tyrannic demagogue, who thinks a strong economic tyranny is best for human. Of course, the future and technology has frightened grown the past decades, and peoples are loosing all morality... Now, for my 'enemy' - I don't really consider political 'enemies' as real enemies, merely as 'negative friends' - Ryan Smith, Emperor of Poseidon, he tells security will be one of his primary goals. Now, ladies and gentlemen, security is important, I will not neglect it, however, with a good policy you won't need any security. See? It's fighting evil with evil - and look to the war in Iraq, it does not work. So my point is to get diplomacy to the first point - intern diplomacy, extern is for the Foreign Secretary. Next, commerce - like Ryan Smith -, which is important to get oud people rich and bring welfare to this region... Now, practically speaking, the very first thing I am going to do is to settle a 'State-structure'... Less abstract:
- Diplomacy: try to resolve all conflicts by the higher force of talking. Police will only resolve conflicts and work very preventive. Which is - in fact - very cheap.
- Consumption/Commerce: strong compulsory environmental-friendly consumerism/commercialism, and complete deprivatisation of all consumerist/commercialist companies, to provide best control and highest State-income of consumption and commerce.
- Safety: making a complete centralization of all dangerous spots. With a complete exchange of data, so everyone will now where it is safe and where it is not... Police will be ordered to make a complete map of crime areas, and resolve crime very diplomatic. Crime will be one of my first priorities.
- Asylum-policy: complete assimilation of all those who want to move in to this region. Everyone who will not behave, and does not respect our laws will be moved - always without violence - to another region. Political or economic refugies or exiled can come to our region. If they behave and do not spy.
- All society related things, such as abortion, euthanasia, gay-marriage, cloning, GE... I do have an opinion which I will not - for my own safety - say here. As society grows, truth will come out. If you want to hear my opinion, please mail me.
- Money will ve given to all who asks for money. However, they will be screened completely.
- Etcetera... Do you have a good idea? Mail me ingame.
When I am chosen I will start a poll about those things.
So, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for you times... Perhaps we meet again some day...
--His Excellency Lord Sebastiaan Snoeckx (aka Deatzo Seol), Illuminated Supreme Chancellor annex High President of Kritschboilek.

Hmm that was pretty tight. Quite impressive!
However, I already cast my vote I'm afraid. I got bored waiting for a serious platform (or some money/beer), so I already voted for ryan smith.
Hey, you could always be the undersecretary who is the puppetmaster behind the scenes! :wiggle:
Anyway, I like your style too, so good luck! :clap:
Word.
