Based on Presidential campaigns from Doctors Orvos and Mileiria on the FNF discord (join today!), I have crafted the following questions to examine their proposed policies:

Starting with Orvos.

1. How do you plan to achieve the accountability of your Officers? Monthly reports? Weekly check ins?
2. You cite a lack of cultural events as something that needs to be changed, but you yourself are Culture Minister, so what explanation do you have for that and what do you plan to do differently?
3. Do you intend to approach the frontier development any differently from President Weatherwand?
4. What is the reasoning behind splitting Immigration and Internal Affairs? Do you think we have the manpower to fill both roles?

Now for Hope.

1. How do you plan on using discord to recruit?
2. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does exist (I lead it) but for interregional diplomacy. Recruitment is the Ministry of Immigration, typically or, currently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Could you justify why people should vote for you when you do not even know what Ministries exist or what they do?
3. There already is a channel for WA voting. And WA discussion.
4. Regulation of speech and behavior is not under the IC government, but rather OOC moderation. I, for one, think the current rules work fine. I'm also, as a bisexual, more than a little concerned at what you mean by "I also encourage discussions about controversial topics like LGBTQ+". I remind you homophobia and transphobia is explicitly banned by our OOC community rules.
5. How do you intend to find the manpower for a regional newspaper when past attempts with more activity have failed?
6. What do you mean by making more of a showing in NationStates politics? And what do you mean by introducing more bills? Do you maybe mean NSGP and WA, respectively?

Finally, I have questions for both candidates.

1. What sort of foreign policy do you intend to pursue if elected?
2. What is your approach to the military?
3. Do you have any specific ideas for increasing engagement to work with the MoC on?
4. What are the 3 biggest needs of the government right now?
5. What government experience do you have and how will it inform your decision making?
