Allician Chancellor Campaign Platform
« on: December 09, 2015, 03:55:54 pm »
The history of Allica is a long one. It was one of the first nations to be created in the region that would become the UDN. The people of my nation banded together in order to pool together their resources and utilize what they had to create a better society. Allicians are well known for their ability as merchants, seafarers, and economists, and so their ability to negotiate is just as renown.

I, Domenico Contarini, the Consul of Allicia, wish to run for the position of Chancellor and utilize the array of skills honed by the people of Allicia in order to create a better region. I plan on coordinating the Great Council and making sure there will be at least a weekly meeting in which governmental opinions on legislation as well as reviews of work will be done. My goals for my term are mainly based on economics. For those that have not read my post on our regional forums, I plan on eliminating tariffs between our nations in order to create a region that is tied together via trade and in which we all have a strength that keeps us relevant in discussions. In order to prevent the powerful nations from exploiting the developing ones for resources, I also plan on establishing a central bank alongside the other Ministers which will be staffed by experienced and trustworthy nations. This bank will allow for nations to prosper as they take out loans in order to further their industrialization or technological advancement. Perhaps most importantly, I will be creating legislation that will require transparency during government meetings that do not involve military matters. I want the nations in this region to be able to physically see what their officials are saying and what their plans are. I want them to see who is present at government meetings and who is simply taking a position for the prestige it brings. I will lead the Great Council as a servant of the state and the interests of you, the nations, will always come first in my legislation.

Allicia has been part of this region since The Democratic Republic of Antwerland drafted the foundation of the UDN. Allicia was the third nation to sign the treaty that would create this region and it was a major contributor to the Constitution that this region will utilize as a cornerstone for a fair, democratic, and just system. The Allician intellectuals that were sent to draft the Constitution, including myself, were the ones that created all three of the major branches of the government. If any nation knows how to keep the government running efficiently while coordinating with the vast array of pieces, it would be the one that engineered it in the first place.

On the topic of the government, the only candidate for Consul, The Democratic Republic of Antwerland, is a nation that has been a strong friend of Allicia as far back as anyone could remember. We were trade partners. We were friends. And most importantly, we were allies. We have been a team that devoted all our energy to create a more perfect federation between nations and to prevent anarchy in our lands. Neither Antwerland nor I wish to compete with the other in order to gain more power for themselves. We have a history full of examples of us working together and we can trust one another to be open and transparent with the other. Likewise, my history with the other candidates such as The United States of Detreadan, The Empire of Ocatana, and The Workers' Democracy of Vereinigte Deutschland is full of examples of me being able to cooperate with orders while also leading them. I have many close connections with those in the Council, and thus, I will be able to work close with them as a compatriot rather than an overseer.
Perhaps what is most critical in the position of Chancellor is the ability of an individual to listen to his Council and maintain an unbiased view on issues. As the person who will be maintaining order through Great Council meetings, it is the duty of the Chancellor to allow each side to present their side and for each side to observe parliamentary procedures.

I’m no fool. And neither are you. We both know that life is not black and white and that everything is a shade of gray. Would I love to have no military in the UDN? Of course. Is it smart? Of course not. It’ll lead to invaders and brigands destroying our region and the prosperity that it has created for all of us. Likewise, would I love to keep everyone happy with the legislation of the regional government? Of course I would. I will certainly try to keep as many nations content with the state of affairs as I can, but with the amount of nations and political views in our region, it will never work out to the benefit of everyone. I won’t lie and tell you each policy the Great Council makes will please you. However, I can tell, nay, I can promise you, that each policy will benefit the UDN and make it a better region. How can I promise that? Well, I’m always open to debate about a policy. Think my view is wrong? Fine. Show me. I don’t mind stating my reasons for my views, nor do I mind changing my views if I am wrong. There’s no reason we cannot pull all our minds from different backgrounds and political views together to create a policy that will benefit all of us.

Please, do not vote for me on election day. Vote for us. Vote for a better UDN.


- Esteemed Consul Domenico Contarini of The Most Serene Republic of Allicia
