It is once again time for me to prove that I am worthy of your trust and votes again. I cannot believe my first term as President of the Republic of South Africa has come to an end, the past month has flown by. I am so proud of everything my cabinet and congress has achieved together and yet I can't help but feel that we are just getting started. I cannot hang up my presidential raincoat with so much still to be achieved.

A million thank you's are needed to adequately praise the work and effort that our government has put in over the past few months. I made it clear when I was elected that I refused to let this position steal the joy of the game from me, and it is only because of you that i was able to experience this.

During my first campaign, I ran on a platform of wild ideas and even wilder promises. I quickly learnt that it was not as easy as it seemed and was forced to figure out how to successfully deliver on my campaign promises without burning RSA to the ground
I didn't achieve every promise I made, but im not shying away from this fact. My article is still up and im not ashamed of what we succeeded during my first term (More to follow)
I promised to make WarEra fun again for South African players and I think I achieved that. It took pretty much the entirety of my first term but we eventually faced five simultaneous revolts across our territories (and defended every single one).

It has been a wild ride for me and I enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would. Nothing could have prepared me for just how extremely under-qualified I was and the learning curve was exceptionally steep, but we climbed that mountain for sure. I'd like to post a few highlights of my first term -
Kingio falls down the stairs (no explanation needed). Perfectly on brand for him
Forming the POES alliance lol
Attempting operation c*ck ring
Klobbering kenya over and over again because fuck them
Standing up for my cabinet and going to war for them.
Working with my government
Successfully defending FIVE revolts. A major achievement for our nation and something we all should be proud of.
You wanted South African battles and I got them for you!
Flirting with absolutely everyone

Kingio, my vice-president and right hand man. Your experience, calmness and kindness were highlights of my first term. And you did all of this while brain damaged! I hope you enjoy your retirement and please stop falling down stairs <3

SinisterSmiley my favourite reluctant diplomat. You are the most real one. I do not understand how you do what you do, and im so grateful you were willing to help me make this last month a success. Your hard work, thoughtful insight and never ending enthusiasm has kept me motivated on the hardest days.
I look forward to my second term with you.

(Another term of Servitude)
Char I promised i'd keep you in perpetual servitude and I don't break my promises. You were to fun to be around and now you're stuck with me for another Presidential run. Thank you for managing orders, bounties and priority lists. Please keep fighting with Smiley, it is often the highlight of my day.
-- Minister of Economics --
(Another Term)
Fumblator, I am so sorry. I gave you the account to manage and boy did we make it difficult for you. Thanks for every discussion regarding economic policy, financial balance and account management. You really have a special connection to money. Let's do it all again :)
