A man, a Nation, a Goal.
As oppsoed to what other democratic leaders do, President Marcu A. Anghel was different. he traveled throught the country every few days, but not to visit officials, snobbish mayors or annoying military leaders. He went to places where usually poor people were found. He shared his insights with them, and even offered rewards for those who could provide a good idea for ruling the nation.
One by one, he re-wrote the Constitution of Wallachia, always with an optimistic smile . Sometimes, people saw him writing in a small notebook. They all thought it was his personal diary, and even if he was a good leader, they all thought he had some secrets, all inscribed in that journal. Fortunately, it wasn't a journal. President Marcu was writing a book.
He published it . " A man, a Nation, A Goal", by Marcu Anghel. He described his life in Wallachia's court, when his father was still a mere courtier. He described King Avram Anghel's rise to power, the conflicts, the techniqueshe used to fool everyone in the Council into making him king. The book also told about life as an outlaw, as "The Wave", the feared bandit, the ahrshness of life, the people he met. He also wrote about how general Patrascu became part of the plan to overthrow King Anghel, the treason insdie the council, the meticulous planning, the cheap trick which led to the destruction of Curtea de Arges, his endless regrets , and his anger. He wrote that he was angry on himself because he wanted to do more for the people.
And he did. He ordered the construction of houses, schools, hospitals, and he began plans to extend the railway system, which, considering the nation wasn't rich, was extremely small, composed of only 7 railways, passing through the biggest cities. The reconstruction of Curtea de Arges proved his best investment so far: with the space freed up by the destroyed Anghel Mansion and other administrative buildings, a huge economic-oriented area was cosntructed, allowing trade to flourish , and essentially paying off the costs in an year.
As the complete relocation of the capital was impossible, the route betwen Curtea de Arges and Brasov became exceedingly used, increasing the revenue of the Prahova Valely, the main road, and each of it's small towns and villages.
The transition to a Democratic Republic scared the people at first, but it proved to be a good decision. The clergy also worried about the loss of many of their rights, which, indeed, happened, but it didn't affect the revenue of the Church. it actually proved to be the other way around. And to show their appreciation to the wise rulership of the President, the head of the Church offered to lend as much aid as he could. The relocation of the population of Ada Kaleh was left in the hands of the Church.
In the region of Dobrogea, the city of Constanta, by the Black Sea , Marcu ordered the construction of modern buildings, and commisioned the pooer populace to aid in cleaning the city, to make it " a modern port".
A previous project of president Marcu, the "Fire and Earth" plan to transform the Ukraininan plains into a major agricultural area, continued. The area was almost halfway prepared, altough nobody but Marcu himself knew the meaning of the "Fire" part in the plan, even if word was spreading about a peasant's find in the area: precious oil.
As for the problem with Moldavian independence, Marcu almost raged out when he heard it. He did everything he could to keep the nation together, and he got backstabbed. But he didn't break. he controleld himself and kept on praying that Moldova would be reasonable enough for a peaceful union. Now that another revolter sprung up, Marcu intended to take them over and show the other moldavians how good of a leader he was by taking extra care of the region. Of course, once the new revolter would be taken down, the people of RMK wouldn't actually have a reason to cal lthemselved "Moldova" anymore, as they would own only 10% on Moldova, while owning all of Dobrogea and Baragan regions.
Overall, Marcu's reforms improved the nation so much, that there were few to dislike the President. People would often do voluntary work for free if they heard it was part of Marcu's ideas.
Marcu seemed to be skilled in all kinds of problems: he handled politics like an expert, with his vast life experience, being on both sides of the law and knowing their possible loopholes. He had a keen sense for strategy and military tactics, oftenly making General Patrascu jealous.He was a genius in almsot all fields... except one: trade. His counsellors did the trade decisions. he never liked trade, even if it emant a big part of his income.
