A letter, apparently written by Dib Jaster Aurene, Deputy Executive Officer of DeMuer Exports, has copies distributed throughout the city, left on bars and restaurant tables and tacked up as flyers on bulletin boards and windows. It is broadcast also on several radio stations, as well as on internet radio.
"People of RhyDin,
I write to you today not as a businessman and certainly not as a politician, but as a citizen concerned over recent statements on the part of the gubernatorial candidates leading up to the election. With the results of the gubernatorial primaries tallied and in the aftermath of the debates generously and ably sponsored by Mr Marc Franco, promises that have not and will not be kept have been liberally spewed to challenge the promises that can and will be kept.
I refer, of course, to the complex policy plans laid out by Mr Matthew Simon, who frankly ought to be between terms right now. His ambitions have grown larger since last year, and yet his actions to date have been close to nil. What problem can there be from a do-nothing governor" you may ask. Herein lies my greatest concern.
RhyDin has flourished in the past year, experiencing relative stability and strong economic growth across the board, for the very reason that Mr Simon has not been active in attempting to guide and regulate the course of RhyDin. This city is a libertarian city-state, a rare economic paradise in which the constant movement of trade throughout is sufficient to grease the wheels of the RhyDinian social, political and economic machines. Inadvertently the esteemed Mr Simon has demonstrated how well our beloved city can function without so much as a guiding hand. He has claimed full responsibility for RhyDin's current prosperity, and his exultation of his own idleness is an inconsiderate insult to what we as RhyDinians have worked hard and toiled to build.
The position of governor affords Mr Simon power and prestige, however, and he will not want to see that threatened again; idleness will not mark his next term, and he will want nothing more than to separate himself from the anti-government arguments that have made so strong a showing in this year's gubernatorial primaries.
We cannot gamble RhyDin's prosperous boom on the whims of a man who is alternately overzealous and apathetic! The notion of a minimalist state ought not to be scoffed and mocked away if the governor cannot even control the funding necessary to create an unproven, bloated monster of bureacracy that such an aggressive policy plan would precipitate. Or will he implement taxes" Will we each pay a quarter, a third, a half of what we have always worked to earn in order to fix a machine that is not broken?
I have cast my lot with Mr Sinjin Fai because he will not threaten the self-made prosperity of RhyDin. We are a trading hub, the trading hub, and money and goods will continue to pour freely through our city as long as there is not the stiff regulation, the bureacracy, and the taxes that make merchants to shy away from other ports. We have something very good here in RhyDin, economic prosperity and great potential for everyone here, and an empty governor's office will not invite anymore chaos than our strange but wonderful position at a center of the Multiverse already does.
What scant funds have been wasted on the position of governor last year, Mr Fai will generously donate. So please, make a good investment in the RhyDin you know and love — vote for Sinjin Fai.
Thank you for your patience and participation,
Dib Jaster Aurene D.E.O. of DeMuer Exports"
