Re: Kaiser election, 5766
I do not think it makes sense for any member of the Haraldsþing (OOC: any character of Harald's) to be Kaiser, since that noble body already counts the High King of Stormark and an Alexandrian prince du sang amongst its ranks.
Re: Kaiser election, 5766
With all due respect, aren't you intimately connected to the Safirian empress? What would the difference between your and Steward Hallbjörn's connections be?

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
Safiria is not a major player on the Micran stage like Alexandria and Stormark are.

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
Furthermore, both of the previous Kaisers were from Elwynn. Wouldn't it be best to have a change at the top?

I would like to ask the candidates what they will aim to accomplish during their kaisership.
I would also like to ask the Steward of Elwynn if he accepts his nomination.

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
In light of Prince Daniel's new "birther" policy of trying to discredit Hallbjorn I find my temptation to support him waning.
I'll remain undecided for now.

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
It was not intended, Your Grace, to be discrediting in the least, merely a plausible course of action taken in light of the facts known to me at the time.
In any case, the matter at hand has been withdrawn.

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
Milord Deputy Prætor
Members of the Landsraad
I am honored to be considered by the Landsraad for this Imperial Republic's highest position. To take part in this election, with His Imperial and Royal Highness the Steward of Elwynn, is a further honor to me. I hope he has taken no offence from my inquiry to his citizenship. I only wished for this election to be run without even the shadow of impropriety, and I do apologize for that mistake. Whatever the result of this election, I am confident that we will have a strong and able Kaiser running our Imperial Republic, and that there will be a continued good relationship between Storjarl Hallbjörn and myself.
If I am elected Kaiser, I would ensure that no state takes precedence over any other. As I hold no landed titles in any imperial state at the moment, I will be able to live by my word. I would also make sure that the political independence and sovereign integrity of Shireroth are forever defended. By updating and enlarging the imperial military, we, the Shirerithians, could more easily defend ourselves from all manner of enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Shireroth today has the potential to be an economic powerhouse. During the illustrious reigns of Ayreon III and Isa IV, the government's finances were assessed and made transparent. Unused money was given to the people, and a form of governmental expenditure having to be met by revenue was established. Sadly, this system, which worked well and provided incentive for people to participate in the economy, was abandoned upon the ascension of Kaiser Verion. I intend to enact a return of transparency in the Imperial finances, and mandate that Imperial offices may not willingly cause shortfalls or deficits in their budgets.
In order for our Imperial Republic to function, federalism must work and be relevant. I will encourage activity on the state level and, where activity allows, the establishment of new states.
The proposed Transelwynn Territory is an exciting possibility for the imperial states to cooperate and do something together. I will therefore lend it my fullest support. The potentials of the Transelwynn's development could bring new riches to our nation.
I stand ready to answer any and all questions that members of this house should have to me. My reign is intended to be an open and transparent one, with no hidden agendas, and I shall begin that endeavor right now.
Thank you. May the Gods bless you all, and may the Gods bless Shireroth.

Re: Kaiser election, 5766
Lady Prætor, Members of the Landsraad;
I embrace with great satisfaction the opportunity which now presents itself, on the occasion of this Kaiseral election, of congratulating you all on the present favourable prospects of the affairs of the the Imperial Republic of Shireroth caused by your hard collective work on the new Charter which will be the beacon of the Lands of of the Golden Mango Throne.
As Kaiser of Shireroth I will build on the successful policies of my two illustrious predecessors on the Golden Mango Throne, the Kaisers Ayreon III and Verion I who have laid a solid foundation for the Imperial Republic of Shireroth to re-take its rightful place as the most excellent nations on Micras. A nation with schwung and joie de vivre which rules and rocks.
My Kaisership would focus on the following matters:
The new Charter as well as certain reforms by my predecessors have rendered large parts of the Lawbook obsolete; aforesaid legal code therefore requires a stiff update. I will also initiate legislation govern the new areas of competence of the Imperial Government.
Military Reform
The new Charter finally allows the Imperial Government of Shireroth with the necessary powers to adequatly provide for the defense of the country and its interests. The current quite limited military shall therefore be transformed into a robust force which can inflict a humiliating defeat on any aggressor and project power all over Micras. The latter is quite necessary for nowadays the threat to the sovereignty and the interests of the nation does not come from the militaries of other nations, but from thuggish, anarchist, and evil forces from the The Green.
Foreign Policy
It is about time for Shireroth to pursue a farmore active foreign policy.
The aforesaid shall include, but not be limited to:
An august nation like Shireroth requires a monarchy with an Imperial Court which can outdo any other Monarchal Court on Micras in pomp, pageantry and extravaganza. Such Court will be provided by me by re-instating Imperial Court customs of old as well as as well as introducing new customs to the Imperial Court in accordance with Shirithian tradtions.
If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask them!
Fellow country(wo)men, the cruise liner S.S. Kaiser Hallbjörn is awaiting you. Get on board! We're gonna make a trip!
And afterwards you will surely say: "and what a trip it was!"
Thank you for your time!
