Effie for President - Unity. Defiance. Resilience. Sovereignty.

Unity. Defiance. Resilience. Sovereignty.

My dear citizens,

The time has arrived for a turn in leadership. I have always believed in transparency, and I am hereby announcing my bid for both party presidency, and the presidency of South Africa.

I think my name is no stranger to you all. From ingame announcements, to way too many discord pings (not sorry). I have had the joy and privilege to join you, to be adopted into friendship and allowed to participate exactly how much I have wanted.

I first served two terms in congress, where I slowly grew into the role. I was later appointed MoFA by former president https://app.warera.io/user/694006728e400302d51946de, and again appointed MoFA by president https://app.warera.io/user/691df63ad9075fc1dbfaa8e6. My service record speaks for itself.

Beside the game side, I have always been an active participant in our Discord. From special events like hosting live presidential debates, to quizzes, karaoke and everything between.

Now however, is a time for a new direction.

We have been through a lot, but always together.

My presidency builds on the foundation that we have a right to our own lands. It builds on the premise that by working with our allies we have newer heights yet to reach.

We are competent, and we are dedicated. Far too many times have many of us thought that they should carry the burden of responsibility by themselves. And far too many times has there been a disconnect between us.

As always, I value autonomy, and action. I value standing up for oneself and our citizens. I have often found myself disagreeing with directions we have taken, or decisions being made. Speaking my mind, has always been who I am. But I have never let ego come before what we together decided.

As such, my cabinet is built on the ability to speak ones mind, stand up for our citizens and a drive to take us further beyond where we have been before.

As VP, - https://app.warera.io/user/6a4ceaa74501d0b090a1afa1. She´s been an excellent MoFA, a driven citizen and passionate beyond belief. As far as couples go, she puts the "power", in power-couple. My love and my best friend.

As MoD, - https://app.warera.io/user/6a53f6aa32c5c80119f5c358. Incredibly talented, and with ideas he´s not afraid to pursue. His work with our MU´s, and the military side of things has been inspirational. It is far from over, and I support him with all of my heart. Together, we´ll create an even stronger unity beteen our war efforts.

As MoE, - https://app.warera.io/user/69f0d88d81a255ea6e9cbc65. He´s been actively participating in https://app.warera.io/user/69f72b433d641e9efdbea2cfs internship programme. A keen eye for economics, and a personal recommendation from the current MoE makes him an excellent candidate. That, and his take no kak attitude.

As MoFA, - https://app.warera.io/user/69b5d6e259b132366a4a99ca. A person that on his own initiative began diplomatic talks. And even when asked to slow down, still kept going. I value his commitment, and his presence within our community. As a former MoFA, he is already well equipped to tackle the role of diplomacy.

And for my newly created position, Minister of Alliance (MoA), - https://app.warera.io/user/691df63ad9075fc1dbfaa8e6. A more committed and knowledgeable player is hard to find. His work with alliances began even before his presidency. I´ve followed his lead, and seen what he can do for us on the alliance side. With him on our side, my ambitions for us are sure to flourish.

We stand at a crossroads. But we stand together. I can´t promise you smooth sailing, and I can´t promise you riches beyond your wildest dreams. But what I can promise you, is that I am dedicated to making us function better as a team. I´ll have your back, and together we will take what is ours. And we will not be complacent. No matter how much our enemies would want us to lay down and be quiet.

That is not who we are.

We are South Africa.

And fuck anyone that tries to take our pride away from us.
