[ENG] Questions for my foreign friends to make a comparison

Day 2,270, 22:29 • Published in Italy United Kingdom • by Vajura

“Ciao” to everyone o/

If you are reading this article, probably I have spammed it to you with a PM or you have found it in your Friends' shouts.

My name is Vajura and i'm an eItalian journalist. My countrymen know me as a writer of WoT (Wall Of Text) because I like very much to link some RL's arguments with eRepublik's facts.

This month i've begun to work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, in particular to improve my English that is not so excellent but... I don't think that the major reason is a lack of study, only too less practice 😁". So, if you will read my [ENG] articles, please, if there is something wrong or that can be told in a clearer way, send me a PM and I will be very thankful to you 😁.
eRepublik is a game of comparison between different countries: war is the structure of the game but we can socialize together even without an active Mpp xD.




1 – Generic Problems



Now that i've introduced myself... What I want is not to extend the article with my rubbish, because I want to ask you something and speak with you in comments. What I want to ask is: in this period of absence of Alliances, where something begins to assume a shape but it's not useful and safe for anyone delude ourselves, which are the problems of your country? What can you say in a short way to make a summary of your internal topics or the last efforts that you have seen in your nation?

I just want to read a different story, make a comparison in particular between eItaly and countries with the same amount of influence...

I feel the necessity to write down this question with some doubts.
After a little more than two years of game, I always watch Italy as something that can be more efficient than its current status. Our neighbors are eSlovenia and eSerbia, and, as you know, eSerbia has the greatest international power of the eWorld, but... this is ofter an alibi for us, for ePolitician class.

I've introduced in the past a concept in my journal, the concept of being “a factory of influence”. What I mean is that all the countries, even the smaller ones, should keep in mind that there is something possible to do; someone calls it “babyboom”, others in a more cynic mood observe that Admins emphasize too much the possibility of the “buyers” towards “normal” players.

I would like to do some comparisons between us and your countries because... I just want to know if there are the same problems in cases of same influence.



2 – Grant Donations?



In eItaly we have a party that has created some controversy with an economical theory.
Its name is “Brothers of eItaly”, “Fratelli d'eItalia”. They think that one opportunity to increase our national influence should be to persuade governments to raise statistics of warriors with grant donations of golds to upgrade training centers in the sale's time; others, like me, had opposed at this idea with the fact that there is not possible to verify the assurance that helped players will not stop to play, losing founds.

What are the plans in your country for the development of soldiers? If you have something like this... And, if yes, these plans are developed by the government itself or private MUs and Parties?

(My party, “Inglorious Bastards” (“Bastardi senza Gloria”), criticizes in particular political parties that give a lot of weapons or golds at their members, depicting it as corruption.
Do you have parties like these? What do you think about? Our belief is that in this way of doing politics all the members will stay in a party only for benefits and comforts and that there is not difference between parties and MUs).




3 - Bureaucracy



The last question that I want to do is about bureaucracy in your country.

We have an official forum. We use it mainly for the Congress and Congress Members have to read a lot of laws before start their terms of office.

But a lot of friends of mine, that hate the overweight of topics in forum and the obligations of the Congress (as a power to stop a Government and slow down its initiatives), have told me that there are countries without this “extra-game” regulations. So... I say... where o_O?

Because all the eItalians want less bureaucracy and we will stay better speaking more about war and bonuses and … other themes. But at the same time we see this bureaucracy as necessary and we also guess that all the other countries, “a fortiori” the strongest, have a large amount of laws and topics in their forum.

In eItaly old players that are still alive or ones that re-login after some years grumble as one choir “at our times there weren't all these unnecessary complications!!!”; in the other hand, newbies want to grow up, making a career in Congress but, when their careers are at the highest point, they feel exhausted and sad.

Is this a problem of eItaly concerned with the eSerbian border and our unfortunate doom or there is something similar among you?(Maybe in your past, too).



Thank you very much for reading my article; I hope to see some comments down from people that I don't know or that are not Italian, to, as a famous Italian way of saying, hear different bells!



From now on, I will publish weekly an [ENG] article, so... if you are interested in this comparison between eItaly and your country, subscribe 😁 Please, tell me your story 😉
