Nagato the Great Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 As a newly established country, Mandalore has yet to choose an ultimate leader. Alek Sigint, the individual who negotiated Mandalore's independence, refused to take control and instead chose to hold elections with various individuals, including himself. Without further ado, the Mandalorian Parties: The Mandalorian Party; Candidate: Alek Sigint The Mandalorian Party is dedicated to making Mandalore a major player in the world, whether by economics or through diplomacy. Alek Sigint, the man who won Mandalore indepence and whose supporters call him 'the Great Diplomat' is the candidate for this party. He plans to introduce wide-spread economic reforms that aim to put Mandalore on the international market quickly and without much cost. He also plans to try to win Mandalore an army, a right that was heavily debated over but refused during talks with the UMS. The Mandalorian Party is highly nationalist, somewhat democratic (with a Senate), and designed with quick progress and technological advances in mind. The Democratic Party of Mandalore (DPM); Candidate: Jon Tuala The DPM is a party devoted to spreading democracy in Mandalore, and to freedom for all people. Its candidate, Jon Tuala, is the only truly African candidate, and is known for a fiery and highly defensive personality. He wants to encourage trade and aid with the rest of the world, and to put much money into trade and cargo planes. The DPM supports UMS/Nod intervention in Mandalore, and do not desire for the new country to have an army, thinking that they will need only UMS and Nod support should a situation come up. His government is designed with the people's happiness and freedoms in mind. The Republic of Mandalore Party (RPM); Candidate: Jacob Borissean The RPM believes strictly in a policy of isolationism, and shying away from getting tied up in international matters. General Jacob Borissean, the new candidate for the RPM, advocates a powerful military and the safety of the civilians. General Borissean is against the thought of Nod/UMS intervention as Sigint is, both of them being very close. He believes that the key to success in Mandalore is based on keeping from ties into the world outside Africa, and in building an African coalition. His government is built around a powerful military and police force, and heavy security in Africa in mind. The Capitalist Mandalore Party (CMP); Candidate: Nicolas Brakiss The CMP advocates freedoms for all citizens from throughout the world in Mandalore, and in business successes. Candidate Nicolas Brakiss, formerly a business strongman, believes greatly in the power of economics and business to power Mandalore to success. He has no official stance on the army, though he believes that as the nation is now independent the UMS and Nod no longer need to intervene in their matters. Brakiss has a very reasonable and tranquil personality, though this can cause him to refuse to use violence where it is truly needed. His government would be centered around a strong economy and powerful businesses. The candidates will take questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 To all candidates: To what level would you be involved with the affairs of other nations? Who would you trade with, whom would you sign treaties with, what level treaties, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagato the Great Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 To all candidates:To what level would you be involved with the affairs of other nations? Who would you trade with, whom would you sign treaties with, what level treaties, and why? Mandalorian Party: We would freely sign economics treaties with stable, economically powerful nations across the world, but only sign military treaties with African nations. We would only sign a military treaty with a non-African nation if we had good relations with them for some time. We want to become a major player in the world so we would definitely try to be involved in international matters. DPM: We would definitely sign economic treaties with anyone, but since we don't want a military we wouldn't sign any military treaties. We would only be involved in matters in or near Africa, and rarely any more. RMP: We would not sign any treaties, economic or military, with any natoin outside of Africa, nor would we be involved with any nation outside of Africa. CPM: We would pursue economic treaties as often as possible, though we would try to limit or restrict tying ourselves in a military sense to other nations. We would also be moderately involved in world affairs so only matters that seem important or that would directly or indirectly affect us.

Subtleknifewielder Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) "Thank you. Next question: How important is education to you? How will education in your nation be improved/changed if you are elected?" Edited October 23, 2009 by Subtleknifewielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagato the Great Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Mandalorian Party: Education is of extreme importance for us. We believe that most of our funding should go to an efficient education system. DPM: Education is important to us, but not our prime concern. RMP: The education system doesn't need to be changed, and education, while vital, is neither urgent nor pressing at the moment for us. CPM: The only change we'd make to the education system, which we consider one of the most important functions in Mandalore, would be to make business a required class...from the start.

Executive Minister Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) From the Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Nation of Nod "If something is given, it has no value. Alex Sigint actively participated in the negociations for Mandalore's independence. He should have free reign to rule over all other 'candidates' that are simply riding on his coat tails. He has our full support." Reporter: "What do the candidates have to say on the NoN's position? Mr. Alex in particular? Also, what provisions will you undertake to ensure your nation's sovereignty despite the UMS' demands? If a party other than the Mandalorian Party is elected, how will this affect ties with the NoN?"

Mandalorian Party: We thank the NoN for their support throughout this. Alek (OOC: it is Alek, by the way ) Sigint fully supports the NoN's positions on allowing Mandalore an army and full independence, and says that he will likely bring up the matter with the UMS and if the UMS does not see sense he will likely boycott UMS goods: we can't do anything more to protest currently. DPM: We believe that though we are glad for the NoN's arguing on our behalf, we are happy with the UMS/NoN protection and don't believe we need a military urgently. If we are elected, we will consider the NoN as any other nation, though relations can go on from there. RMP: We definitely need a standing army, so we are thankful for the NoN's support. An added plus is that you are an African nation. (Following is Classified until noted otherwise) If the UMS does not give in to giving us full independence, we will probably train an army in secret, and if they continue to refuse we may attempt to stir up action against them (no longer classified from this point) We would be glad to have good relations with NoN. CPM: We are glad about the NoN's attempts to convince the UMS to give us full independence. We are glad with or without an army, since our main focus would be on economics. But if we are elected we are glad to open up economic relations with NoN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just treat that bit as a private transaction to the NoN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
