*Sections in [] are IC
*Vote for the people you want to run Havvy. I have given three options per candidate.
*Infrastructure has already been chosen, and Education is also.

[From: Jerry Sophrone
To: Anybody

For the past couple of months, I have been complaining (mostly to myself) about how much work I have to do as the only one mailing other than 'Jerimy Pomherd', the Minister of Infrastructure.

That was a test, and it was successful. I have decided to allow many other positions for the government, and to expand the power to other people. Thus, I will be creating the following positions, and organizations.

1. Minister of Health
2. Minister of the Economy
3. Minister of Education
4. Minister of the Environment
5. Minister of Technology

They will be elected by the people of Havvy, and have there own jobs. I will basically be an overseer of the new government, and have official rule to change any law they make.

The following groups have also been made:

NDPG: Natural Disaster Preparation Group (Infrastructure)
BCO: Building Code Operator (Infrastructure)
FST: Food Shortage Team (Health)
ECAB: Economic Checks and Balances (Economy)
NCLB: No Child Left Behind (Education)
TEIFN: The Environment is For Now (Environment)
SB: Spam Busters (Tech)
OS: Open-Source (Tech)

If you have a problem with any group, don't contact me, but rather the minister you are in dispute with, or the group. Thank you for reading this announcement.]

For information on the companies I shall be making an NSWiki page for all Havian Organizations. Anyways, the following is a list of candidates for each ministry. You may not vote on Education because I am going to say that Erint won that.

1. Minister of Health - Ugama; Bline; Xuis
2. Minister of the Economy - Monopetry; Friex; Retmo
3. Minister of Education - Smith; Jonston; Erint
4. Minister of the Environment - Hipler; Fewt; Grazamon
5. Minister of Technology - Scheel; Tuim; Dardan

The following candidates are what they stand for. Pick one from each group, and that will be your vote. Remember, it is YOUR vote, and not any IC official. If you don't know what ministry each person is in, look at who is 'quoted'.

Ugama: A twenty four year old medical student. He has watched the medical cases of the world and is strongly against drinking and smoking. If it were up to him, those two vices would be banned. He would also give a helping hand to hospitals that treat cancer. He believes that healthcare should be free, except for a spike in taxes.

Bline: A fourty two year old who smokes heavily. He would like to see drinking go away also but allow drugs that you smoke stay. He would release the ban on marijuana, and make sure that the agricultural industry is heavily regulated. He would start an FDA program, and make sure that drugs are at least not harmful in the longterm. He believes capitalism should pay for healthcare with a decrease in taxes.

Xuis: A sixty year old who also has his own plan. He personally thinks that hospitals should be paid by for the government, but medicine and using them hospitals shouldn't be. He also believes in free healthcare for veterans. Taxes would raise a little, except for veterans. Xuis would also make sure that people are strict vegetarians and drugs may only be used in quantities that could help you medically.

Monopetry: Believes in pure capitalism. Believes that business should not be helped whenever possible. Thinks that if people are smart, they would not buy goods from stores that have morals they don't believe in. Likes to subsidize businesses that are falling short on their job. Does not believe in the public domain.

Friex: A person who looks at each event case by case. He would make sure that monopolies don't exist, and will help small companies. He'll put taxes on richer companies, and increase the international profit tax of Havvy (for any businesses starting in Havvy) to 1.5%. He also believes in a business starting tax of $1,000.

Retmo: Wishes that for things like artwork, music, poems, and some software, there should be laws preventing people from suing over their use. He doesn't want to change the tax system, and believes that if there is a possible monopoly, have the government pick somebody to start a puppet business to fight it off. He believes that CEOs and business leaders should be watched closely to stop fraud.

Hipler: He believes that business should help make sure that the environment is clean, and that national park (an entire island) of Deleanti should have tour guides to show people the marvelous rain forest. He sees nature not as something beautiful, but rather as a business idea.

Fewt: She wants hunting illegal outside of the island of Homantor. That wouldn't include fishing. She believes that people other than scientists should stay of the island of Deleanti and allow it to be a place of true mother nature. She wants to have controlled burning on Trazic (or Franci. Whichever one has the volcano) to allow the plants to grow.

Grazamon: Believes that humans should be able to visit nature, but when they do, they may not take any technical item other than a camera and a cell phone. Any food would have to be wrapperless, and clothes are not allowed in nature. He thinks that the environment is a place where you should act like other animals and must fit in. Believes that hunting should be limited, and have park rangers making sure that people follow the law.

Scheel: Believes that software should be open for others to look at so that they may get information into why things happen. He believes that scientists should take their work, and put in into a public area to look at. He also believes that cleaner technology is a plus, and would subsidize companies that create the cleanest products.

Tuim: She believes that all scientists should work for the government and should be searching for information the government wants to find out. The government would be allowed to let scientists to find information out for other companies, but most research would be nationalized. She has been critized as thinking as a communist in a capitalist community, and her plans may destroy the economy. She believes that if a person wants to gain some information on cutting age technology, they should have to pay for it also.

Dardan: This candidate was put under arrest for hacking into government computers and putting his name onto the ballot. Jerry Sophrone gave him an official pardon and said he would be allowed to run. He is obviously smart, and knows technology in and out. When asked on his position, he said something about making software more secure, but most of it was unclear since he started talking about the flaws of Windows...

Alright, you know who all the candidates are. Vote for who you want to win. I'll be making an IC post at the end of the voting period. There is no poll because the options would not fit. At the end of this, I shall make two more NSWiki pages. They shall be called Havian Ministers and Havian Organizations. Start voting...

*Infrastructure has already been chosen, and Education is also.

Erint wins education, but only because I wanted to shape my school system. I've had at least 5 people view, but only one vote? Doesn't anybody else want to try voting? It's a long thread to make, but it doesn't take that much effort (unless it is hard to think) to place your vote down.
