Firstly, I should say that I cannot mention some things specifically, as they are considered to be sensitive. If I am lacking detail somewhere, I hope you can take that in good faith. Though please ask if you are not sure.

Alliances & Affiliation

We’re anti-Asteria, and that’s how it's going to stay. We couldn’t change sides even if we wanted to, it's the path of least resistance to be in Asteria or to be part of the several pro-Asteria alliances. We’re better than that, currently we are in PLUTO but soon the eUK could be part of the next step in unifying anti-Asteria.




For real though, how boring must that be? We're having a good time over here


Adriatica is eCroatia’s attempt to form an anti-Asteria alliance, and its an interesting proposition for the eUK. I think it is reasonable to say at this point that we’re aware of it and it's being looked at, the requirements to be a full member are not going to be easy to achieve - the main one is that there is one single MU or designated National MU which puts out 80% of our damage. This is no easy task, especially for the eUK which for years now has had its damage split between many MU’s. While it is difficult, it's in our best interests - damage is more coordinated and we can help ourselves and our allies to a greater degree. This is a good opportunity to adopt our own national MU. Although it doesn’t mean we’re necessarily joining Adriatica, and it wouldn’t be right to jump ship from PLUTO either without giving them a heads up first. Whether we join or not, PLUTO and Adriatica should be working towards a common goal. We’re both anti-Asteria, we want the same thing.

Addaway is taking the first steps to gain public support for a National MU (I should mention that this was not in any part by me, all credit should go to Addaway for heading the initiative) - we’re going to need public support to pull this off. If I’m CP we’re going to push for a national MU, we may not hit 80% of our damage coming from this proposed MU immediately but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Our current and potential future situation


We’re still not in a great situation, but Sweden is now out of our regions. One of our fronts is now closed, and there is a plan (I can’t say much more than that) That’s our current situation, and as there’s so much at play right now it's difficult to say where the eUK will be by the CP elections.

If the plan goes off well, we’ll be far from wiped. Then we’ll have to turn our eyes to a certain country which at around this time of year start feeling insecure about themselves and want to lash out to make up for their own shortcomings. Though we can hope that this year they can restrain themselves. We’ll be paying back our amazing allies on the battlefield, I don’t foresee us going on any ambitious invasions ourselves - as our allies have and will continue to help us in our current situation and we owe them one.

If the plan does not go well, we will be in a slightly different variant of where we are right now. At that point what I would be doing is making occupation very expensive for the French, the situation is moving towards France being the only country holding our territory, I see that as eventually being what will happen if we remain under a wipe. They’re after the bonuses, so we make sure it harms them more than it helps them. We don’t need to burn through all 10m cc in CO they have, we just need to make sure it's not financially viable for them in the long term, they're not going to want to use all of their money. While we do that, we’re of course going to come up with a plan alongside our allies, which go to bat for us.

Other stuff/Summary of policy

- Looking into joining Adriatica or at the very least have PLUTO working very closely with Adriatica.

- Begin the process of moving our fighters to a national MU.

- 2nd Commanders in MoD orders message (Not a big thing, but it’s something we can do to make sure MU’s are getting orders.)

- Make sure our allies can contact familiar people in both MoD & MoFA.

-Main priority being helping our allies for the term.

-Continuing strike teams - the initiative just got launched, I think it’s a great idea - as my old MU FBI did and maybe still does organise strikes on the weekend as well. Also it’s not right to axe something which hasn’t really had the time to get started.

-Having a representative for the interests of eUK MU’s and Fighters.
