[KK4CP] An Overview
Frodo Tea Baggins
So heading into the final nomination period that ends on the second, it is normally good to put forth a grand policy page of what your gov't intends to do. The reality is it's going to look rather bland and for that I apologize, however it is to be what it must be. Argeements have been signed and Ireland is rather locked into it's positions for the next month and changing or renegging on them would just be bad form. I realize not everyone may not be happy with said policies, however sometimes showing honour and following through is a virtue.
As stated in a past article this slow time should be put to good use. I've slowly been building a cabinet based on ability to maximize international relations, with the ultimate goal to form an alliance between a group of countries to secure our future. With realistic thoughts, the most likely scenerio would be a group of similiar thinking smaller countries that would be inclined to work together seperate from the super-power forces so it's possible to protect our own interests, yet working beside a larger alliance in a mutually beneficial way. Being early and working on this now lets us build something we can like rather than joining someone else's problems later. I intend to make this a main focus as it will be time consuming and our best investment.
War. Always something I've enjoyed but unlikely to happen, I will not break the NAP. While the great UK caper makes it sound enticing we must remember, the UK may be broke but LOLand isn't. Besides that breaking the NAP would just reflect badly on us, I'll let it stand. A secondary thought though is a training exercise with Canada. I make no promises here as much has to be considered, MPP costs, their willingness, congress's view. The possible advantages though come in the form that they have some restless people causing problems with their rental agreement just like us and it might let people blow off some steam. I also call it a training exercise rather than a training war because it might be fun to actually have a full invasion week with agreement to RW back before congress elections, hand out some free TP and RW medals, etc. Again this isn't a promise just a thought that could live or die on the table.
Lastly is going back to my cabinet. I have choosen certain people for certain areas but there are still free spaces. I prefer to ask those willing to join to send me a message of their interest. I'll make a list of filled roles below and invite anyone to step forward to fill spots.

Small-nation alliances have a bad track record historically
then again: forming such a group would make it a lot easier to join any new alliance later. 😉
I'm not convinced that eIreland should be interested in joining any alliance ever... we've done well for ourselves as "neutral", there's been very little benefit to joining a set damage block.
The main difference is building an alliance not joining one.

Good Luck
Will you make the finicial records of the goverment open or secrative?
Will you go to war with the UK?
Why should we trust you with the national treaury when you are a blow in?
how often will you wright articles?
Will you honor the USA treaty?
1 Financial records are hardly secretive since anyone can view an org and track spending and income, I will not make easy reading for world viewing however.
2 I've already stated I will not go to war with the UK, I will honour the NAP.
3 I'm hardly a blow in a supported Ireland even when in Canada. I've already stated I will not have access to the treasury it will remain in Appleman's sole hands. In Canada I even funded the treasury with loans from my own credit card after the Wes Lewis theft while we restructured taxes.
4 I've already stated I will honour the US treaty.
Missed one, I write regularly even when I've got nothing to write about. If I have something to write be assured it'll be more often.
Thanks for anwsering the questions. Very good anwsers. Good luck.
the USA treaty is renewed monthly, assuming they are willing to pay, will you be neutral in the congress about it, or push for or against it when it's time to vote?
I will remain neutral. I think my record speaks for itself in though I voiced disagreement, I respected the people's will. Respect is something a CP should always have regardless of personal feelings.
Damn...moo stole my questions......
Training Exercises you say?
I'm sure something can be arranged 😉
\o/
I'd prefer you just wipe them, tbh. But eh. Whatever works.
y u gotta be like dat
Voted
😉
we can already sipmly gain tp medal by rw cork and wexford.
no need to raise the difficulty by engage a TW with canada...
ireland is not so stable for now, a NE" just for fun" with canada can make lot of trouble. very bad idea
rw cork and wexford will not gain you rw medals, a training exercise will allow free tp for a timed limit followed by guarenteed rw and ff medals for whichever side after the fact. Timelines will be agreed upon.
create a ne and war just for hypothetic ff medals in addition to tp medal...hummm well..too much ?
You cannot equate the benefits of a war to the benefits of a RW mate.
Firstly, a war can be role played to give the people a sense of purpose and fun. A RW that happens once every 48 hours cannot do that. Newbs and uninvolved, alongside those who feel like quitting, can easily relate to war on a foreign enemy. Seeing Ireland expand into Ontario *will* keep people interested. The silly RWs won't.
Additionally, what risk is there? eAmerica has vested interests here; I am sure we will not allow any rogue wipe of the Irish, let alone by our unfortunate northern friends.
Not to mention, there are many more medals to be earned in a war. RW medal aside, opportunities for getting BHs and the like are much easier due to the scale of the conflict. Best part; No one has to cough up 10,000 cc for nothing ^_~
I'm a little surprised that a CP hopeful of a small country such as yourself is downplaying these amazing benefits, Banshee.
@Hale: well good sir, that is if we agree to it.
"be proud and have fun" is the leitmotiv of my Mu mate but i am not a fool. i don't think taht have an agreement with usa + NE canada to have a training war is aguarantee of stability for ireland.
other countires would benefit of this.
don't forget that france and Uk are fighting near to us and we have to keep an option.
I was SC of Terra once. I don't remember the exact quote from the time, but i believe it went along the lines of, France and Germany are some of the most committed and best allies I have ever seen. If everybody in this alliance was like them we would have no problems. And I said it, so don't tell me.
I must agree with COB here we have too much going on already. Problem is training wars could cost us our only bonuses in a time where our prices is finally great.
Show on
From Canada to Ireland, will you relive the fall of London? 😉
Not at this time.
I do not have to replay the fall of london I lived it
We all lived it, I was merely suggesting another run at it.
probly SAWC in hiding...

You could at least build proper account with our money c*nt
Hey it's the fat cook everyone...er... I mean thief.

I think all orcs should support this candidate no matter how flaky and wrong he/she/it/the gas appears for the job I think lay your bets with this donkey(as in hard worker who will stubbornly resist change).
Also this will give you a second chance at a slice of fruitcake this season.
~hyuu~
