General Staff
Citizens, I write this open letter to each of you today as an invitation to join me in promoting a National Literacy Campaign! I believe that the time is near when we must make reading and literacy among our citizens a top priority.
Now, first let me say that as a proud citizen of Phoenatica, I stand firmly behind our current administration in their conduct of the Great War. I understand the fact that due to national security concerns, the development of our infrastructure has often had to be delayed. I also wish to applaud the investments that have been made in the learning and culture of our people, especially the perseverance in completing the Great Library in Fox Nest. Our national heritage will reap the benefits of that for centuries to come.
However, the time will soon come when our glorious Immortals will complete the destruction of our enemies, and it will be time to turn our thoughts to home. I think it is critical to the long-term growth of our nation, and its culture, that we take that time to focus on increasing the knowledge of our people. The most enduring legacy of our great nation will be our Culture, and how it will spread even unto other nations. Also, despite the wonderous nature of our Great Library, the time will soon come when other nations discover the value of Education among their own people, and the Great Library will no longer be the central place of learning. We must prepare for this day, when our own scientists must research the incredible advances we can only dream about.
For these reasons, I wish to establish this National Literacy Campaign.
Our motto: Reading Is Fundamental!
Our goals are simple:
1. Build libraries in all our cities, so that our citizens can learn to read and write!
2. Pursue institutions of higher education when the time comes. (note that is education with a small e, I am in no rush to research Education any sooner than we have to).
3. Promote any wonders which aid our learning (Copernicus Observatory, Newtons College).
Of course, a great way to promote reading among our people will be to write a great Heroic Epic about the exploits of our brave Immortals and their righteous destruction of the treacherous Americans and Egyptians!
All those interested in joining in this campaign to promote reading and learning throughout Phoenatica, enroll now in the National Literacy Campaign!!
Remember, Reading Is Fundamental!
