Citizens of South Africa!
Another election approaches, and once again, the Imperium of Man stands ready to claim its rightful place upon the Golden Throne!
I, Tharshey, God Emperor of Mankind and leader of the Imperium of Man (IOM), hereby announce my candidacy for President of South Africa!
The Emperor's vision has never wavered.
STRENGTH. UNITY. EXPANSION. VICTORY.
Our ambitions remain as glorious as ever.
THE CONQUEST AND UNIFICATION OF AFRICA UNDER THE BANNER OF SOUTH AFRICA!
The Emperor is the beating heart of the Imperium, alongside the loyal citizens who give it strength. Together, we shall forge a nation capable of dominating an entire continent!
Let there be no confusion about our intentions.
AFRICA BELONGS UNDER ONE BANNER. OUR BANNER!
The Imperium shall pursue the conquest of the African continent, expanding South Africa's borders and bringing ever more territory under our glorious rule.
Our military campaigns will be coordinated, our armies organized, and our economy prepared to support the wars ahead.
But even the Imperium recognizes the value of powerful allies.
Egypt, for example, presents an interesting opportunity. Rather than two powerful nations wasting resources fighting one another, perhaps an agreement could be reached.
South Africa conquers Africa. Egypt conquers the Middle East.
A mutually beneficial arrangement, wouldn't you agree?
Of course, such an agreement would require cooperation from Egypt, but the Emperor sees no reason why diplomacy cannot serve the greater glory of the Imperium!
And once Africa is ours?
TERRA AWAITS!
An empire is nothing without its people.
Our soldiers, industrialists, commanders and ordinary citizens are the lifeblood of South Africa!
As President, I will continue prioritizing recruitment, player retention and the development of our community.
I have already produced beginner guides to help new players understand WarEra, and I intend to continue supporting those joining our nation.
New citizens must be welcomed, taught and given opportunities to contribute.
Veterans must have meaningful battles to fight and reasons to remain engaged.
A STRONG POPULATION BUILDS A STRONG IMPERIUM!
And a strong Imperium conquers continents.
Conquest requires two things above all else.
SOLDIERS AND MONEY!
Our military must remain active, organized and capable of pursuing our territorial ambitions.
Working alongside our military commanders, we shall seek opportunities for expansion while ensuring that South Africa can defend its conquests.
Meanwhile, our economy must provide the resources necessary to sustain our campaigns.
We will encourage domestic production, support economic development and maintain a treasury capable of funding our glorious wars.
After all, somebody has to pay for the Warmaster's next invasion.
A PROSPEROUS SOUTH AFRICA!
A POWERFUL MILITARY!
AN UNSTOPPABLE IMPERIUM!
Citizens of South Africa!
The Imperium does not seek an ordinary presidency.
We seek to forge an extraordinary nation!
A nation united behind its Emperor.
A nation with a thriving population, a prosperous economy and an army capable of bringing an entire continent to heel.
WE SHALL RECRUIT!
WE SHALL PROSPER!
WE SHALL CONQUER!
The Emperor has shown you the path to greatness.
Now the time has come to walk it together!
So when election day arrives, remember:
THE EMPEROR PROTECTS! THE IMPERIUM CONQUERS!
