Salam my friendly neighbours to the south,

This is a completely serious entry in the running for mayorship of Mt. Augusta.

Ever since the rebirth of Istanbul to the north, our nations have been inextricably bound in friendship and cooperation. In the early days, Mt. Augusta defended us fiercely, protecting us from those enemies that would wait for us in the shadows, ready to strike. As the months progressed, our nations have only grown closer, both culturally and politically. Together we not only stood against the Edenites, Augusta having our back during the Riptide crisis and ISIS supporting Augusta during the Nether Portal attacks; but we also stood our ground before the feared coalition, repelling the assault against Goten in combined military might.

Today, our nations practically stand as one. Istanbul and Augusta share the same military force, one that only yesterday flexed their muscles by imprisoning a griefer. Politically, the nations act in cadence with one another, and economically no distinction can be made between the two national entities.

It is with this in mind that I present my immediate goal for this mayoral election: Political unity. If elected as mayor of the nation, I will assure political union by fusing the thrones of Mt. Augusta with the Islamic Sultanate of Istanbul and Samarra to create the United Augustan Istanbul Federation.

Here is a map of the UAIF, as well as the proposed flag, symbolizing the union of the Augustan national colours of red, white, and blue, and the green colour of Istanbul.

If elected, I promise this will be my first and immediate act as mayor. I will then hold a constitutional convention over a period of at least a week, with citizens of the new UAIF invited to participate. The purpose of this will be to work out all kinks in the fusing of Istanbul and Augustan law, as well as what will carry over from the constitution of Mt. Augusta.

A vote for GTA is a vote for a unified Augustan region. This will allow us to stretch our greatness beyond our current borders, and further the process of cultural and political unity.

Thank you my friends,

-GTAIV
