[UKGOV] MoFA: Introductions and to War
Foreign Office
Greetings. This month, the UKs Government is as follows;
President: Carlini8
Ministers of Foreign Affairs: Talon Karrde and jamesw
Minister of Defence: Madacaion, BigAnt and Richard Feist
Minister of Finance: Emergy Maxfell
Minister of Home Affairs: Huey George
Minister of Health: Zaphod Beeblebrox
Minister of Recruitment: Goku Jones
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will, this month, be looking to bring through a new generation of players, with a simple but dynamic approach. Everything we do will be explained and debated with players. We won't just explain what is happening, or what we are doing, but also venturing into the forgotten territories of why and how.
The aim is not just to train apprentices this month (iGuy, Ash Brandon, Alphabethis and McAffee01 have applied so far), but also publicise and encourage discussions within and about the ministry, so that the population at large are kept in the loop. If you are interested in volunteering (which requires as little or as much of your time as you are willing to give), then drop either MoFA a line and they'll sort you out.
In short, this month will be about ensuring accountability, and transparency in the ministry. We are not just going to do our best for the UK, we'll explain what we think this is, how we will go about doing it, and most of all, why we feel and do what we do. Apologies for the briefness of this article, but we intend to hit the ground running, and so are spending the majority of our time organising something to increase our damage in the upcoming 9002nd tournament / buy gold event starting tomorrow.
Congratulations to Carlini8, welcome to our new Government, and most of all welcome and good luck to the team this month. Should you wish to contact the UK, you can do so in game using the links above, or by finding jamesw or Talon_Karrde on IRC. We like to sit and idle in #euk - so come meet our citizens, make some new friends, so on and so forth.
The next article, due out shortly, will be exploring the most important element of foreign affairs for UK citizens: our TWO allies. Anyone interested in how this article will be researched and written, or who feels they can contribute somewhat, is of course free to drop me a line here.
Otherwise, prepare to begin the German war shortly. We acknowledge and are actively investigating the just-proposed law in Norway, which you can view here. Contact has been made, and we did attempt to get this voted down. However, the Norwegian government informed us this war was declared to improve their chances in the competition. Of course, things like this should be discussed first (free protip of the day), but there seems to be no bad intentions on their part (save for of course, not thinking this through properly).
On behalf of the MoFA team this month,
jamesw and Talon Karrde

Official line from Norway: The NE is just so they can get their citizens to fight more. It is not part of an invasion or trick or anything 'sinister'.
This was not discussed or agreed with us first, and we're still advising them to vote it down - alas it is out of our control and all we can do is either fight on two fronts (aka: super damage increase) or hope they'll do as we ask.

We'll wipe them :3

lol - CoT cabal leaders in government...way to continue our pro-TWO stance
Pinkie Pie :33
I fear having iGuy and Alphabethis as ambassadors....just saying.
Don't even get me started on McAfee
Emergy Maxfell is a butt ~_^
Agreed 😛
I hope Alphabethis duties include tea-making and paper filing...
As for , Goku and BigAnt. You're a sell out Carlini. This appeasement Government sickens me. iGuy... lol

Everyone who applied got a role somewhere pretty much. If people want to put the effort in I am not going to stop them trying to enjoy the game more. If they don't, they will be fired. It is time we started acted like a country and not a fractioned country.
I head hunted people I wanted for the main roles while ensuring everyone who applied got some sort of job. I don't care if someone is on one side of the divide or not. BigAnt is increadibly active and works possibly the hardest in the eUK, I have asked him to focus that on the MoD job.
I was a big admirer of Goku in the MoL role and you were possibly in gov at that point and saw that too. They get the job done then I am happy.
be better if you one man army'd it...
