[CP] British~Irish War Ends

Day 2,038, 15:02 Published in Ireland Ireland by Sweet Drinker

As of today the Shrubbery Settlement begins.
Yes I made that name up and it means nothing

Subject to terms (nobody breaking it) a Non-Aggression Pact between Ireland and Britain begins. The initial duration being until the end of NEXT Presidential term.

________________________________________________

For the duration of this first NAP agreement

Ireland lays claim to:
Louth
Dublin
Wexford
Cork* (more about this region later)



Britain retains control of:
Mayo
Shannon
________________________________________________

Britain's motivations for holding these regions are obvious:
They gain a fruit bonus.
They feel they deserve 'something' for our previous NAP being broken.

For Ireland's part, we now face the reality of having no viable direct war targets. While our mature population obviously must fight for our allies abroad once we have the regions we desire back,I'm sure UK won't mind if our NC's steal a point or two from the RW's that medal hunters will start! That early TP gold is precious to new players. (Protip: don't waste ur money starting RW's in the regions we won't be taking. You won't get it back).

I must also admit that I've an ulterior motive in UK having these particular regions. It is also why I noted Cork in the list of controlled regions.
While we now have an agreement forbidding direct conflict between us. That deal only effects our two countries. And when I look east and west, I see TWO nations all around!


Poland on our east tends to just take stuff they need while going about their interests. We've nothing of use to them and looks like they've better things to do atm.


Spain on the other hand seems to enjoy wiping nations longterm and demanding money to rent your own regions. And they look worryingly bored over there atm!
Mayo and Shannon are two of our three regions that border Spain.

Cork would be the final natural Irish region bordering Spain's Canadian colonies.
Which is why even though the region is to go to Ireland immediately as part of our agreement with UK, I've no intention of retaking it for the time being.

Romping around the island with UK is a good bit of fun for us. But it wouldn't be nearly so entertaining to play with Spain.
Just ask Canada...
They've been playing 'hide the country' with Spain for months now..


I'd prefer to just cozy up in Louth, Mayo, and Wexford for a Congress election for now!


Make sure to lose that RW in Mayo tonight folks. It'll just be a big hassle for us if we win it.

That's all for now folks!
Peace out (literally 😛)
