Well I suppose I should explain myself so many may get to know who I am. I've been lurking for quite awhile, but some of you may recognize me from making the random appearences in turn chats and our own Apolyton chat room.
So here I am campaigning for public works minister. I think it'd be a fun experience! Plus, my civ style is more of a builder than that of a warrior (though I do support the looming war with France). Being a builder, I'd like to think I'm pretty suited to this ministry!
I really think an important issue at the moment is to connect our cities by way of road. This gives our cities a benefit of less corruption as well as a fairly mobile military to cover the expanding flanks of our empire. Remember, once we start a major war with powers like Greece, Aztecs or the Persians, our border cities will be in jeopardy. Having a road system will help our military rapidly shore up weak spots in our defense. Also, it will allow us to reach our enemy's borders quicker as well.
Also, I think we should continue to clear away the jungles from our core cities (basically the powerhouses of the empire that will probably be our strongest cities throughout the game). The sooner we do this, the sooner our cities can take advantage of the added production.
Also, mining of mountains and any grasslands with shields is another high priority.
I'm willing to work with the people and anyone is welcome to offer me advice at any time. Please do so!
Some personal issues you may want to consider before deciding to vote for me:
I will be on vacation from August 22 until August 28. I may have access to a computer, but I will leave detailed instructions if I will not be able to have a computer.
College starts back up September 3rd, but I have Tuesdays and Thursday off, as well as the weekend, so I should be able to devote plenty of time to the game and not neglect my position.
Lastly, for those who may not neccesarily recognize me, I lead the campaign that sought to put the iron near present-day Ubergorsk in our hands!
Thanks!

Hello all. My first plant of action as PW minister would be too make sure that all of our cities are connected. Once this is completed I would work to build a highway to germany. This would make it possible to trade and bring in needed funds, but also if the Germans decided to turn there backs on us and attack it would make it easy to gain access to the German Impire. After the trade route established I would begin work on cities. Our population is not doing to good. We can sustain a greater population. So I would begin to irragate around cities were possible. If not im going to be mining to increase productivity. But if the cities populatoin growth is good and it needs no irragation im going to just mine the grass lands around it to increase productivity for Apolytonia. The better production the more we can build and get building done faster with wether it be greater armies to attack with or just city improvements to make our cities more glorious. If you elect me this would be my course of action. One more thing you might want to consider when making your decision i am out of school and dont relaly have a job so i can be at all the turn chats and will be here all the time.Thank you for your time. Good luck to everyone running and my opponents.
