Join the new world

Dear reader, on August 31st I was appointed as Ambassador to eSA. Glamorous, right? The answer is no. Not exactly high profile. Still, it's fun to chat with the South Africans (they speak English and most are American), and their day-to-day drama is almost as interesting as US drama (thanks in part to Ajay Bruno).

The administration would like me to publish a weekly public report on SA, in order to inform you all on international affairs. Seeing as this is the first issue, I'd also like to include a little history on SA. So, to those who are interested, here's a bit of info on the country.

South Africa has been embroiled in conflict and controversy since very early on in the game. SA was involved in a war with Indo from June-July of 2008. By July 26th, 2008 it lost 4/9 regions to Indonesia. Indonesia stopped after 4 regions, but a little over a month later a new threat emerged. A group Croatians (who had no country of their own, at the time) PTO'd the remaining 5 regions. There was much public outrage from original South Africans. The Croatian administration was surrounded with accusations of corruption. Large amounts of gold and ZAR went missing multiple times. When Croatia was finally created, the administration slowly dissolved and South Africans were able to elect their first non-Croatian president in December 2008.

In May of 2009 SA was PTO'ed by Brazil and Indo - they lost their remaining land to these foreign countries. After much talk with these countries and some failed negotiations eSA was able to get one territory, Limpopo, back. Because of active, continued leadership by former government officials, even when eSA had no territories, the government was able to quickly spread the word about who should be elected to the new congress and enact policies to help rebuild the nation.

That brings us to the current day, as September 5th passes eSA has a new president - Steven Bosch. The former president, Ines Schumacher decided to step down. Ines led South Africa, messaging former eSA citizens, for two months while the nation had no territories and was very involved in negotiations to regain Limpopo. Steven Bosch managed to beat maxpayne50 with around 75% of the vote.

Max is part of the African National Alliance, of which Ajay Bruno is the PP. To those of you who haven't kept up with Ajay since, the "patriot", abandoned his country, Ajay managed to win a congressional seat last month. Still, he has gained little respect from his government position, as most eSA citizens harbor the same contempt as eUSA citizens.

Today eSA is quickly developing into a well established country, with a detailed economic stabilization plan and participation in Sol war games. The public is very enthusiastic about improving life in eSA and there's no doubt they'll get it done quickly and effectively.

That's all for now - hope you learned something!
