Dear Air Force members, dear guest viewers, fellow citizens,
my name is Ziehen, and I am the Federal Marshal of the Air Force of the Rebel Penguin Federation. With this post, I am officially announcing my candidacy for the August 2009 Election for the office of the President of the United Servers of the Rebel Penguin Federation.
I am running for this position not only for the prestige and glory, but for the people. Indeed, I am offering you, the people, an alternative to my only current opponent: Omega39. His perspective will be reiterated below my agenda shortly after. However, to be blunt and get this out as an “introductory statement”: the only one here that can lead the Federation back to a territorial, military and stable state is me. You shall be surprised what territorial plans Omega39 has in stock (see below).
But first of all: my history.
- Length of Service: ~ 23 months (June 2007 – May 2008; returned late June 2009)
- Ranks: June 2007 General; November 2007 Head General; January 2008 Warlord; March 2008 Head Warlord; July 2008 Second-in-Command; July 2008 President (elected)
- Influence & achievements as Pre-President, President and Post-President:
- Pre:
- From March 2008 until July 2008, I developed the Air Force into the most active (military and site) branch of the entire Army
- I was part of the Congress since late 2007 and represented the conservative liberalist perspective of my people there; I was re-elected multiple times
- I was Frostbite Governor since late 2007 and represented that server until my election to President
- I was the political analyst and mind in late Spring 2008
- President:
- A constitutional republic with all three levels of federal government: a congress consiting of two houses (with a chat by myself and a site), a supreme court with five judges (initiative, chat, and site by myself), a cabinet.
- A Constitution reform allowing federalism and more influence of the people instead of centralism (as outlined in the original by Omega39)
- Continuous elections
- The treaty of the Tundra Union and the President of the First Council
- Shifting the focus of anarchist Army to a conservative liberalist Government-Army relationship
- Solving disputes between ranks and greediness that was slowly and internally liquidating the Army
- I created the position of Prime Minister (head of state), so that the power of the President would be quasi split into two persons
- I made the Federation into a representative democracy rather than a centralized totalitarian state; the congress could now pass or veto bills with simple majority voting
- Post-Leader:
- I was still active on the scene as Chief of Congress (highest legislative position) and hosted orderly and weekly Congress meetings
- I was a quasi political advisor of Commando717 and assisted him with this so that he could focus on Military aspects
Now for my agenda as President-elect:
- Government: the government will be a constitutional monarchy. I will be the monarch who then appoints a person to handle internal affairs while I lead the military and appoint a cabinet. Together, the head of government, cabinet, congress, and local governments will form a federal state under the people’s electoral will. And to ensure proper representaiton and liberty, the single-party (unofficial) system shall be abolished; parties may be formed if they contain at least 10% of the total presidential election voters.
- Territory: I will first solidize our borders to the outside to avoid the own-growing threat of plunderers thanks to Omega39 “selling off” all servers but Tuxedo. I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN! This federation needs more than one server to stay at the top of all armies! With one server, there is no room for army expansionism or improvement!
- Army: The Army will be re-divided into the old branch system. There will be ONE Warlord to keep an eye on the entire branch as a whole. Two Head Generals will be in charge of sub-divisions, and the three Generals of squads. All of the above will be eligible for the grand Congress of 28 persons. The Army will receive proper weekly training and practice battles. We all have learned from the past: THE ARMY IS THE CENTRE FOCUS OF THIS FEDERATION AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL SUPPORT AND LEAD IT APPROPRIATELY FOR SUCCESS AND GROWTH AT ALL TIMES!
- Army Recruiting: Daily recruiting is an asset to growth; hence it will be the most common mission of the common trooper along with patrolling our current servers. The more people, the stronger the army, the more organization is needed. I can ensure all three under my system.
- External relationships: The appropriate relationships with other nations and armies is important to sustain a successful Federation. I have proven the expertise at negotiation and putting the Federation and its people first at all times during my President and Chief of Congress eras. If an Army Council is formed, it shall contain representation by population (/troop size) or the USRPF will decline membership. The Tundra Union should have equal representation (one-third).
- Fun: FUN… the most important aspect of this Federation. And there will be fun; tons of it! I shall appoint a Minister of Recreation and Leisure (a.k.a. FUN) to host and organize weekly parties. These parties shall hopefully be on weekends and there might even be Army awards for oustanding troops! Just remember that for every aspect, there will be one minister of cabinet.
- Career opportunities (ranks cont’d): The system should be simple and helpful, meaning that every recent addition of personnel shall receive the training he/she needs to succeed fast. How? There will be a person-to-person training basis. No one will be excluded or left alone in the corner. The current system unfortunately shows growing amounts of this unorganized ANARCHIST movement. I count on organization, support, and strict enforcements of certain Army aspects. For other, “not-so-fatal-if-failing” aspects, more liberty will be ensured.
- Constitution: The Constitution will be re-written by myself, the Head of Government, and Cabinet to fit into the new system. This process may take up to two weeks. When deemed complete, the Congress shall vote not for own progress, but for the progress of the people. If a congressman votes for his own good and not of his representees, he will be removed: strict means strict.
- Opinions: All opinions are to be shared via comment or chat message. Opinions are vital to ensuring democratic freedom of speech and success of the representation the people vote for every few months. Thus it is important for you, the people, to think thoroughly before voting for the person who will represent YOU and dozens other (on average) for these few months!
In conclusion, my system is based on organization, a written base for rules and decision-making, the liberty of the common citizen and soldier to share his opinion, and the Army as the centre focus of all decision-making for a stable Federation with that stable base made of the people. If the people are unhappy, the base will crumble, and I will fall with them. This means that we rely on each other for successful recovery and growth. I rely on your vote; and you on my agenda and expertise to assist you in your desire for Army rather than Government. I also encourage everyone to run for an office to add the personal skills and expertise for the final concept of the Federation. LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY, AND THE FEDERATION!
Sincerely,
Ziehen, Presidential candidate and Conservative Federalist Party Leader), Ret. President, Federal Marshal of the Air Force
