Why should people vote for you as the president?: I care very much about not only helping those who are new to the server, but also as old as the server itself. I would only make decisions which benefit both groups along with the vast middle/upper middle class of the server. Foix, to me, seems like a city that thrives on all sorts of people and it should be treated as such and with respect to the people. If elected, I would make sure the town runs as smoothly and as efficiently as possible

Are you ready and motivated to spend time running such a big nation?: I do. I have spent most of my time on ECC making certain that my towns are accommodating to those of all walks of life, both the privileged and unprivileged. I understand the economy and social dynamic well enough to serve as President of Foix

Who will be your Vice President and ministers (if any)?:
I would be more than willing to consider anyone who is interested, but you would have to apply. To be clear, I would want a VP and ministers, but have no one in mind as of now

Are you ready and motivated to spend time running such a big nation?: Yes, I'm super hyped for this. I have experience running large towns, but this will be my first nation. I've read up alot about this nation and many ecc nations, and I beleive I fit the job well.

Why should people vote for you as the president?:
So i can make foix great again again. I am like any other man, all I do is supply a demand. This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it. This is what I will bring to foix, the opportunity to seize opportunities not given to them in any other nations. There will be more jobs than people to fill them, and we will need a great workforce with a great work ethic. Vote early, Vote often.

Are you ready and motivated to spend time running such a big nation?:
Yes, define big.

The BMP (Bacca Mafia Party), the logical choice

 

Why should people vote for you as the president?: I have experience with Foix, and I understand how to run a nation the size of Foix, as I already co-mayor it. If I am elected I will have more power to make the changes that I think will the benefit the nation immensely.

Are you ready and motivated to spend time running such a big nation?: Yes, outside of SG, I have tons of time! Which I can use to help Foix.

Who will be your Vice President and ministers (if any)?: I would like @Imabankthing to be my Vice President, and @Ryanbo_ to be a minister.

Name of your new team/political party: The Communism Party (I swear I won't make Foix communist)

 

Why should people vote for you as the president?:
Because I will implement the Five-Point Plan for Foix, which will help create jobs and add more houses.

1. Open up the Foix Metro, letting people visit various areas of Foix easily and bringing people into newer, sparser areas.
2. Rank Residents up to Mayor, making new towns for both mansions (one of the nation's largest sources of income) and plots, letting Builders get a house cheaply.
3. Clear out inactive players. Yes, I know, it does sound bad, but the spaces can be resold for lots of money to the treasury, and besides, what benefit do inactive players have to Foix?
4. Add a mall, where shops can be opened with no tax. To benefit from this, prices to buy a shop in the mall would be around 10-20k (lifetime). Shops outside the mall may be opened anywhere, and pay a 10% tax.
5. Allow subletting, whereby any player can rent out houses, so long as they pay a 25% tax to the treasury.

These measures will create jobs and homes, and also give the nation more money.
I will also invest money for the nation into loans, and buying up towns to join Foix.
Are you ready and motivated to spend time running such a big nation?:
Yes, I have the time (I am selling off my old nation, so that will not cause problems) and I have that attitude whereby, if I put my mind to something, it gets done quickly.
Who will be your Vice President and ministers (if any)?:
I have none.

3. @KaylahJacobs - Parliment 1
4. @xValinityx Parliment 2
Campaign slogan: Equality for all
Campaign text: As a member of Foix I see a lot of builders who can't afford plots or pre-builts they want. To counter act this problem, I will decrease prices for builders and new players and inactive players who are coming back. I have also sold houses for Foix before and gives me a better idea of how to run the nation. Even though I am saving up for president, I will do my best to use my money for the nation. As the nation's president I will also strive to make Foix active and hopefully open more opportunities for jobs in the nation. I see a lot of the time people want to open up a shop however, most of the plots in Foix for a shop is too big or too small. I will make specific plots for shops and even customize plots. I also see lots of people attracted to the casino. But I think of this as a main attraction and takes up most of the attention. As the president of Foix, I will make many more attractions for Foix and hopefully expand the nation. Much more can be said to help the nation but if I get elected, that is when it will happen.

Campaign text: I will make sure all Foix residents have an equal position in society (Communism). No one will be discriminated against. My party will make Foix a great place for all players, new and old. My party has experience on the server, we know our way around the server and can even provide help for new players. I also have a plan in mind to support Foix's economy and population.

Plan:

1. Make Foix's economy more efficient and player friendly.
2. Build tourist attractions for Foix - Make it more of a place to visit.
3. Provide better transportation - Link up the nation.

Execution of Plan:

1. Bring jobs into the economy that pay both the player and the nation back mutually. I will also use my power to get farms built for new players to begin making money and a source of food. For the people that don’t like farming, I would additionally like to have fishing towers built.
2. Currently, Foix only has two main attractions, the golf course, and the ECCCasino. I plan to bring more attractions in, such as; parks and recreation-type areas, possibly a theme park (if possible, I would be willing to purchase another town for Foix), and more PvP themed things like training or fights/tournaments.
3. Finally, transportation... Foix is a huge nation, and residents need to get around. One of my biggest goals would be to link up most if not the whole nation. I would like to expand the metro to suit the nation as it grows.

Other Plans

• Business Loans - Many new players want to start a shop, and I believe here at Foix we can make that possible, Just like the real world shops have to pay rent at malls or so. We should charge rent for a stall at the Foix mall and to help new businesses, loan them so they stay in business and charge minimal interest.
• Sponsorships - In order to keep the nation running, we need to keep residents and attract new ones, in my opinion. We should sponsor events such as tournaments, golf or PvP. It will bring interest to Foix and attract new players. It may very well bring old ones as well and convince current ones to stay.

Campaign text:

Short-term goals

Problem: Foix needs better transport.
Solution: Fill in the gaps on the Metro and reopen the station at the hockey stadium.
Cost: Around 10k.

Problem: Foix needs to have more profile in the public eye.
Solution: Host competitions using the wide range of amenities available (hockey, golf).
Cost: Can vary from free (if there is an entrance fee) to up to 200k.

Problem: Foix does not have enough property sales.
Solution: Evict people who are inactive (28 days+) and create an "Estate Agent" rank, purchased for 50k, which allows for the sale of property.
Cost: $0.

Problem: There are some amenities that are required. (Namely, archery and spleef)
Solution: Build such amenities in the events area (Glandonia).
Cost: 5k-50k (depends on quality of materials used, quartz will cost more than wood).

Problem: The casino has few games, and is inaccessible from the outside, turning that area into a ghost town.
Solution: Redevelop the casino, remove "white elephant" ranks (8k for a shiny new 5x5 office, really?) and open it out to areas that are deserted.
Cost: 10k-20k (lots of material can simply be moved).

Problem: The old town is essentially unused and griefed (there is a canal that was once a road by the Old Town warp).
Solution: Open up the area to sale, with the stipulation that the outside is not to be changed (historical preservation).
Cost: $0.


Long-term goals

Problem: Foix is unequipped for the large numbers of Builders that will arrive with further servers on the Hub.
Solution: Build a town by Foix and create apartments and plots there.
Cost: 85k (for the town) plus 50k (construction) so 135k total.

Problem: Foix needs a boost to its profile.
Solution: Host the Olympics.
Cost: 25k-200k (depending on the number of events).

Problem: Foix needs a steady stream of revenue.
Solution: Create a risk-free bank (any defaults repaid by the treasury)
Cost: Variable.


All in all, the total cost is $635,000 (at most). This can be raised with three sales of the Estate Agent rank. We have fully costed and realistic plans.
Vote for a Foix for Foix's citizens, vote FLP.
