Candidate for head of the organization

I put forward Fred Gripes as a candidate. He is a well respected member of the stock market, he has been the most successful businessman in all of Duetaria for 3 decades, he has a masters degree in buissness and a docterate in economics from the Grand University of Graciana. He owns and runs 192 of his own companies and is a successful money lender. He has full backing from the Trade Union.

As you will agree he is the best person for the job.

The United Nomadic Tribes of Catoagoa have put forward High Cheif Thomas, he has many years experience in selling and buying all sorts of livestock and grain. He owns well over 100 farms, totaling to 10 billion plus sheep and cows, and owns many agricultural shops that sell a variety of things, from tractors, to manure. He is a well rounded character, with many inovative ideas for improving the Duetarian economy. For example, a revolutionary idea of his is to use crop domestication, rather using G.M. products, to gain greater benifits from crop growth.

As head of The Federation of Telegram Operators (FOTO) I wish to announce that our candidate is Sir George Glamesbury. He is an experienced economist, originally head of the leading industry in FOTO, uranium mining. He has since been appointed head of the economy in FOTO, leading it through troubling times and preserving its strength despite these problems.

Count Matthias von Thurn und Taxis, Secretary of the Treasury, rises and briefly declares his noble nation's candidate for Governor of the Bank of Duetaria:

"The Government of Darmsburg-Gotha now proposes Maxence Tserclaes as governor. He is the senior Executive Director of HMBC (Han Maong Banking Corporation), which has burgeoned under Maxence's calm, cool, calculating directorship to become the largest and most profitable bank in Duetaria. Furthermore, when he was Chairman of the Princely Reserve Board in Darmsburg-Gotha (1993 - 2006), our economy flourished as never before, with interest rates at 2.467 Darmsburger florians to £1. In short, ladies and gentlemen, Herr Tserclaes is the only reasonable candidate for the chair of this integral organisation."

"Luschia proposes the following Officers of the Board of Commission for the National Bank", states under fire Chancellor Amy Adams, signalling her mutinous treasury minister Paltrow to pass the below brief around the hall.

Luschian Candidates for the Bank of Duetaria
1. Senator Richard Templer (b. 1959) as Governor
Templer has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as Chairman of the Senatorial Committee for National Financial Affairs (1999-02) , prior to being Economic and Financial Spokesperson for SocialistMovement. He is currently a senator representing the fourth party in Luschia (the Socialist Free Feline Party), and so has no extra-banking influence on Luschian policies.

2. Hugh McNamara (b. 1957) as Secretary of Banking and Finance
A hugely respected force in trans-national financial policy within Luschia, McNamara has served as a Financial Advisor to two successive Lord Presidents: Kevin Spacey (1999-02) and Sir Jack Nicholson (2002-05). As well as being General Editor of Finances Today and Governor of the Bank of Luschia (2005-present), McNamara has recently appeared on the LBC News.

Prime Minister Lamberto Raimondi Prasca strides to the dais and begins to speak. "Romardia proposes the following men for the bank of Duetaria's Governorship and for its post of Secretary for Banking and Finance. As governor, we put forward the notable and well-respected economist Ruggiero Crinacorso, until January the Permanent Advisor to our Treasury. Crinacorso has recently advocated an end to laissez faire economic policy in Romardia, and it was he who aided myself and our exchequer chief, Count Roatta, in drawing up preliminary details for the Welfare Act. As secretary of banking and finance, we propose Guillermo Mariati, erstwhile Chief Secretary to the Treasury (2000-02) and currently Shadow Chancellor in the Centre party. Mariati has a nigh-on unparalleled record as a supremely gifted financial administrator, and would undoubtedly provide a moderate balance to Ruggiero Crinacorse."

Resumés for Romardian Candidates:
1. Ruggiero Crinacorse (b. 1946) -
Financial and Economic Commentator on television and in publications (1981 - present)
Chief Political Editor of The Financier (1994 - 1997)
Director-General of Southern Brook (the largest bank in Romardia) (1997 - 2004)
Permanent Advisor to HM Treasury (2004 - 2008)

2. Guillermo Mariati (b. 1964) -
Lecturer in Politics, Philosophy and Economics; Ramani College, Oxioponte (1992 - 1996)
Centrist Member of Parliament for Oxioponte University (1996 - present)
Shadow Paymaster General, Centre Party (1997 - 2000)
Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Centre Party Government (2000 - 2002)
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Centre Party (2002 - present)
Recipient of the Doc Evans Economics Prize (2003)
Professor Emeritus of Economic History; Oxioponte University (2004 - present)

Treasury Minister Gwyneth Paltrow daintily clears her throat and begins to speak at the dais. The Hall, sparsely populated on account of the Trial, falls into silence.

"My Government is simply interested to know when the Governor of the Bank and its Secretary of Banking and Finance will be elected, and by whom," says the elegant blond, "has the bank election been stalled due to the embarrassment of the Trial of Ravenburg-Morovia?"

"Embarrassment? That's a mild way of putting it!" calls Paltrow's chancellor of the exchequer, Amy Adams.

"How dare you turn your shrill, politically endangered tones on me!" replies Paltrow archly. Several officials retreat to the espresso machine as Adams and Paltrow begin a furious verbal battle.

President Shortman's vice-president stands up. "According to President Shortman this is the reason and common understanding is that the head will be voted for in much the same way as WA Delegate."

"Thank you." replies Gwyneth Paltrow in her quiet voice.

How will that happen, on the forum, or on the game?

Look, we need to vote for the damn Governor. Can someone set up a Poll (i.e. Wake or Lloyd)?

Give me a couple of days and I will collect all the candidates into a thread and create a poll. Please for this election no campaigning.

May I create the Poll? I haven't done one yet.

no

Can I create it? I have just as much claim as you, with respect Your Highness, given that my Government did introduce a moderating hand on the steering wheel of the Banking Act with our stock-market maintenance clauses.

Fine, you get it. But remember to include EVERYONE who entered so look carefully! And you can only post one of yours.

Why? Isn't the Bank going to be your Profile anyway?

Oh, more importantly: when are we going to elect the Secretary for Banking and Finance?

We are now going to a Poll for Governor of the Bank of Duetaria.
