Force is strong with my opponent.
I feel it flowing.
However, being known for his honour, Obiwan won’t use the force to influence the minds of the voters, I’m certain of it.
Now back to the topic.
We might have missed on the opportunity to switch to democracy earlier (we had small cities, no real unhappiness issues). If we had done it, we would have been in a better position to actually research something (like explosives and tactics) and overrun the world sooner.
The only issue in fundamentalism is to maximise the production of troops and diplomats/spies, and when you have too many troops, you can’t switch to another government any more, so we are more or less stuck in fundamentalism for the rest of the game.
This reduces the work of the foreign minister significantly, but still, there are a few things a foreign minister can do. He can suggest possible peace treaties with foreign civs to extort the money from them. Although the treacherous ways in which the foreign relations have been conducted so far prevent our glorious empire from cashing on the week, I vow to aim to the restoration of our reputation. To accomplish this, I suggest we wait till Washington constructs the Tower of Eiffel, then capture it, and immediately extort all money from our enemies and use it to bribe several of their cities.
In addition to the support to this plan, I pledge to supply intelligence on our enemies’ strongholds, particularly capitals, and to provide the president with enough diplomats and spies to sabotage the fortifications our enemies might have built around their cities.
The exit polls suggest I may just win these elections.
Still, too close to call (overseas votes haven’t arrived yet).

Mr. President, I'd be honoured to serve as city planner in your administration.
Since this is my first job here, I don't wish to go against the expressed desire of a veteran such as Obiwan. In fact, I'm glad I haven't won these elections, because I only participated out of fear to be voted out as a newbie (the case of one James Adams).
Concerning my excellent performance in these elections, I express my satisfaction with the results (6 votes!). I fear I might have blown my chances with my election programme (If I had kept my mouth shut, I might have even been elected). Not that it matters to me since there are still empty positions, which I would gladly take, just as I said when I nominated myself for the position of foreign minister.
One note though: The Germans posses more than 4000 gold an impressive figure, which is unlikely to drop because of their fundamentalist government. I know it's difficult to extort now, cause we are the strongest and our reputation is low and they are all allied, but consider that we'll have much easier ride if the German treasury is reduced to a few hundreds.

We never voted him away from the game, he chooses to visit us every once in a while on his own free will. JA is simply famous for his strange posts and losing to the banana in an election
