*(steps up to Shure(R) MX418 podium megaphone)*
(tap-tap) Is this thing on? (clears phlegm-ridden throat)
My fellow Citizens,
The post of Historian is, er, historically a thankless one, requiring countless hours of trolling through old threads,  writer's block that can only be countered by the medicinal ingestion of alcoholic fluids,  and stained fingers from using experimental inks. Even so, I have been gratified by my first elective month in this cushy, comfortable office  under the august leadership of President Shade.
Some work has been done, but much remains.  There are smilies  to be inserted, text to be written, and endless revisions to be, uh, revised. I will not back down from this challenge!
THEREFORE, as a loyal citizen  of the United Minds of Apolyton, I hereby declare my willingness to again run for the office of Historian. I pledge my time and effort to the complete and utter documentation of our glorious Civ, its leaders and their actions, for the edification, education, and amusement of all Citizens.
FURTHERMORE, I promise to support our government with cold, hard cash! I will perform my labors pro bono and will donate my entire salary  back to the Treasury, to be used toward whatever bribery or rushbuilding is deemed necessary by our esteemed leadership. All I ask in return are quality quills, gooseberry ink, a few crumbs of food, and the medicinal fluids   required to ensure continued quality work.
Thank you for your support.
*(leaves podium, muttering under breath "If they bought that, they'll buy the collectible presidential quills too...")*

Following in the great tradition of Ralph Nader, I shall run for President, yet not expect to win! (Don't quote me on that.)
As a, uh, citizen, I have participated in every poll I saw in time, making wize and informed decisions where I was informed, and asking smart questions (Remember, no question is ever stupid!) where I was not informed, so that my decisions would be informed. As President, I shall do the same thing. After all, that is what every President does. We (Presidents) have advisors, to tell us what ideas are good, and which are not. Our job is to order people to do the things that our advisors tell us, and to order people to do the things that our advisors are too afraid to mention, like researching a dead-end technology like Fundamentalism so we can get enough money to bribe the entire world to join our Enlightened Fundamentalist Democratic Empire of Un-Unhappiness!
In addition to always listening to what my advisors say and leave unsaid, I will also institute a series of electoral reforms! Once in my post, I will amend the 3/4 term limits to not apply to Presidents, Foreign Ministers, and Military Commanders during times of war, so that during a war, we may be ensured of having known and proven leadership, unless of course, the People decide to vote to replace them. This would just ensure that they may remain in their posts, if approved by the People, to keep the pressure on our foes. In addition, seeing as the post of Historian has no corrupting effect on its holder, I shall entirely exempt the post of Historian from any term-limits.
Lastly, as President, I will encourage rapid technological progress until we have a strong technological lead over our enemies, at which point I will encourage a switch to a Fundamentalist government, dedicated to the superiority of our People over the uncivilized Barbarians, who we shall bring civilization to, by force if necessary, in addition to Democratic Principles, of course! (What, you've never heard of a Democratic Fundamentalist government? It just means we're extremely Fanatical about Democracy, of course!) We will entice the un-civilizations' people to join our Empire by giving out large quantities of cash, of which we will have much, due to the tithes provided by the Voters - and any un-civilized people who refuse to get civilized, we will crush with our mighty (and well-oiled) war machine!

P.S. Yes, I have MGE, and I also own the original Civ II, and the two expansions, and have been playing Civ since Civ I.

MGE requires a Civ II CD to be in the drive - but it can be ANY Civ II CD. So, if you get someone to install MGE on your computer, you can play it with your ordinary Civ II cds. (Which means that technically, I can install MGE and play it on four computers at once, hehe.)
Where are you, anyhow? I'm in the USA, and got MGE for around $30 a year or two ago...

That reminds me, is the VP appointed by the President only if the President ran unopposed (and if he didn't, then the VP is the runner-up in the Presidential race), or is the VP always appointed by the President?

I fully support le Marquis in his goals, and in his campaign. I, too, wish to see the Egyptians crushed, and should we both be elected to the posts we are running for, I look forward to us working together towards that goal. *waves to the People* *the People cheer* *the egyptians flee*
