Hello, I am Kogvuron, and I would like to run for Minister of Defense. I will first detail my past history in NationStates and then move onto my plans if elected. Experience I have served as a politician all over NationStates over the last two years. On the judicial side, I was a Judge in Atrigeas for some time and am currently Lord Chief Justice in Normandy. On the legislative side, I have served as a legislator in multiple regions, such as The United Federation where I served 4 or 5 terms and also served as Speaker of the Senate, and as a Representative in the FRA Regional Assembly for multiple regions. On the executive side, I have served as the head of foreign affairs in multiple regions (i.e. The United Federation), am currently Media Officer in TRR, and have headed numerous militaries (i.e. TUF, UK). I have served in the FRA Rangers for over a year, currently as a Colonel, and was the UDL Chief of Orientation for a while. If anyone would like a more full description of my NS Past, please feel free to ask and I can PM it to you. I have substantial military experience and the experience and contacts necessary to set up a military. Policy I. Choosing A Side A military under me will be defender. I have been a defender since the beginning of my NS career and took part in my first defense mission just under two years ago. Advantages of being defender are numerous. For one, it is fun, more fun than raiding. I have raided in the past as part of NationStates wars and it doesn't give the same satisfaction defending does. Second, other regions will view us more favorably because we help others rather than harm them. Our relations with neutral and large founderless regions are more likely to be good. Third, there is a lack of large defender regions. Outside of 10000 Islands, Mordor, and Spiritus, most large regions are raider or neutral. We can have more influence on the global stage by defending. II. Alliances One goal of my term as Minister of Defense would be to secure our borders in case our region were ever to come under attack. Now, since we have a founder, most attacks would fail, however, we must plan for the future. If our founder does cease-to-exist, we must be ready. So, I would spearhead an effort to create a new military alliance or join an existing one in order to provide defense for us. This alliance's main purpose would be to defend its member regions, however, it would also defend other regions when not occupied in member regions. Such an alliance would be helpful to our foreign affairs and we may bring in new members from our close allies. At the least, it would be beneficial and a good backup in case of attack. At best, it could be a true game-changer and become a new power bloc in NationStates. III. Military Recruiting and Organization. As Minister of Defense, I would quickly recruit for a military. All WA nations would be asked to join the military, although it would still be voluntary, and two platoons would be set up. The first would consist of active updaters. The second would be reserves who help in non-update missions and support our WA Delegate at all times to increase our influence in the World Assembly. The rank system in our military would be based on a mixture of experience and merit. It would involve some point requirements for positions, but the highest staff would be appointed by the Minister of Defense. These staff members would be the best of the best and represent the vanguard in defending. IV. Military Support The Military would be organized into two basic areas: The Ground Force (Updaters + Reserves) and support staff. This support staff would include recruiters, trainers, and media officers to write updates on the activity of our military. Under me, the military will be as transparent as possible without compromising the security of our operations. The military will truly be a source of pride for our region. Have any questions? Feel free to ask. Edited by Kogvuron, Apr 2 2013, 07:12 PM.
