ErasmoGnome for Minister of Defense

Hello to the Versutian Federation!

Elections are coming up again, and I feel my work has only just begun. Thus, I'm officially asking you all to vote me in again for a second term. Why should you vote for me?

1. I'm incredibly active. I'm on multiple times most days, and am able to use all of that time to serve the VF in defense. While many other nations have numerous puppets, I have only 1, which I rarely go on. My time can be wholly devoted to the VF and its defense and wellbeing.

2. My record speaks for itself. During the outbreak, I constantly swept through all of the hundreds of nations for exporters, monitored all incoming nations, and spread information to keep everyone informed and prevent panic. I was active almost the entire time during the outbreak, and my efforts speak for themselves during that time. The VF was one of the most successful, if not the most successful, refugee acceptor, and I am proud to be able to say that my efforts contributed to that success. Many of you came to the VF after that outbreak. If you liked how it was handled, then I ask for your vote.

3. I am experienced. Obviously, I've already served on term as Minister of Defense. During that time, I was the first Minister to draft a comprehensive policy for the position. Not only that, but I have been inside regions before that were raided, so I am totally familiar with the process. Since we are such a large region now, we have little to fear from raiding, but my job now is to keep it that way. Under my first term, I made connections with some defensive organizations, created a suspicious nation list, and monitored major raiding regions for relevant activity. You can expect that same dedication in my second term. Additionally, I was once the top candidate for Head of Defense at the SLU. I withdrew from that opportunity because of this region.

4. In terms of defense, my policy speaks for itself. While it is true that because we have an active founder, almost all attacks will fail, my efforts are mostly focused on targeting possibly sleeper nations, because they pose the only major threat due to their accumulation of influence. I maintain, as I mentioned before, a list of possible sleeper nations that I monitor. Additionally, I check incoming nations for raiding affiliations. Please look over my policy here (http://w11.zetaboards.com/versutian/topic/8668312/) for more info. I am always open to changes, criticism, and new ways to help defend the region.

Some things you can expect to see in my second term

  • Pending the passing of of the Government Positioning Act, I'll be working on a longterm project, the VFD (pr possibly just expand VFOR). It'll be a full-blown defensive organization we can use as a region to do some good in the world and have fun.
  • I'll be expanding my department, possibly with entirely new positions, to better serve the region.
  • Setting up a formalized plan for dealing with the Zombie Apocalypse just as effectively as we did last time, but on a larger scale. Max Barry mentioned possibly doing it for Halloween again, so we'll need a formalized plan with specific details on government intervention, and most likely an information campaign beforehand with encouragement to get on at some point in the day and start researching a cure.
  • More things as need pops up! I'll always take input from absolutely anyone, and am happy to use the advice of others to assist in my efforts.


Feel free to ask me absolutely anything, from policy, procedures, or just chatting. If elected to a new term, I can promise you not only a continuation of the policies that led this region through the zombie apocalypse in a blaze of glory, but also the addition of new policies to further our cause as our region grows. For all these reasons, I, ErasmoGnome ask for your vote for a second term come election time. Thank you very much![/list]

Do you believe that the region should raid other regions?

If not, are you a dirty fenda?

Thanks for the question (and awkward followup), Thomas. Azazel has already somewhat addressed this concern in my policy section, and I'll be adding a section about that to my policy.

I believe the government should stay neutral in foreign affairs. My position will be that our members can form "guilds" that can do whatever they want, but these organizations will not be commended nor assisted by the government. Raiding organizations will be highly discouraged and in some cases not allowed at all. They sully our region's name and may make us mores susceptible to raiding ourselves. Additionally, no region nominated for a commendation should have such organizations. Defensive guilds can form, but will not be assisted by the government.

Given your neutral position, and your exceptionally handsome and well endowed deputy, I endorse you for this position.

It should be noted that in our private communications between our nations on the nationstates site that I believe the minister is fully capable of his duties and recognizes the limitations of our current ability to act, and has correctly identified which areas we need to focus on, and how to go about securing the region from hopefully phantasmal enemies.
While I do not intend to remain in office for long given my candidacy for foreign affairs, I hope to be of assistance in the initial stages of development, and will be able to leave the office confident that the minister is able to continue his sterling work.

Well, since elections are tomorrow I figure I may as well ressurect this. I'm about to edit it with a few things I'll work on in the second term, assuming I'm elected.
