[/list][/color][hr][/background-block] [size=250]INTERVIEW WITH [nation]ERSKIELLANDER[/nation][/size] Interviewer: [nation]Daunlaund[/nation] Q: [b]How did you get into ns?[/b] A: Well, I was reading books of Max Barry and decided to check some of his other work, and this showed up. Q: [b]And what ideas surfaced about your nation?[/b] A: A free union of monarchies living as a single entity, sometimes in personal or full unions. Q: [b]How did you find the Universal pact?[/b] A: I was contacted by New Wolvers, who introduced me to the pact. I knew it for about 2 months and tried to get the region I was in to construct embassies, but it went south so I decided to join the UP. Q: [b]What were your first imprssions?[/b] A: At first I was really confused about the systems, but when I learnt how it was all working, I was very impressed and thought about how to invest myself in the region. Q: [b]When the party system came in you decided to found your own party, what was behind that?[/b] A: Well, "Federalist" was a not-so-subtile nod to the Hamiltonian Federalist Part of Early USA, but for the party itself, it was mostly a wish to bring the UP to the forefront of the inter-regional scene. Q: [b]And tell me, what before through your head when you were elected delegate?[/b] A: Well, This was my very first post in a region's administration, and I was quite proud of the party and myself. But, I was immediatly hit by all of the backlash of the attempt to trick the election by Viv. Q: [b]What do you have in mind for the regions future?[/b] A: I hope that the UP will one day be able to surpass the Large Regions and illustrate a different way to rule. Q: [b]And what are we going to be doing in the current?[/b] A: Constructing a larger Embassy network could be a smart idea, but we should also aim towards expanding the region's population itself. Q: [b]Thanks for your time, but before you go, could you give us a message for all our readers?[/b] A: I'd like to take a moment to thank Daunlaund, Havadar and New Wolvers for helping me, each in their way, to reach this Delegate Office. If it wasn't for them, I would not be the leader that I am now. Also, Thanks to Vivami for teaching me how to handle an electoral crisis because of his attempt of a coup d'état.
