Hello Belgium
uaithne
Hello Belgium. I am just here from eIreland and I just wanted to take a brief moment to introduce myself. My name is uaithne and I have been an erep citizen since October of 2008. I recently decided to set out for a new country and a new adventure and here is where I've landed.
I am currently seeking citizenship and would like some information on the political parties here. While I have no political ambitions I would like to find a party that I may fit myself into so anything that you will share would be great as the Belgium wiki seems to possibly be outdated.
I also wonder if someone could please give me some sort of idea on the government structure here. For example, a list of Ministries or governmental departments so that I could have some idea as to where to go should I have any questions or problems. Links to any IRC channels and forums, English speaking of course, would be most appreciated.
I look forward to getting to know you and your culture, both in real life as well as in-game culture.

Uaithne you rock!
LOL Thanks so much Dan. You rock yourself. 😛
There is no typical government structure here. eBelgium has been PTO'd for about two months by The Group (a Romanian mercenary group). We live under martial law.
eBelgium was previously peacefully merged with the Netherlands (known as the United Netherlands, or more commonly as the eUNL) After The Group started two resistance wars and took over the new government, we have been living without a democratic government.
Welcome to eBelgium, just be warned things are a bit tough here right now.
"a Romanian mercenary group" Where do you get your ideeas from?
We are not a mercenary group, we are part of the Romanian army, the only thing that sets us appart from the other military units is that we are financial-independent from the state.
So please, get your facts straight.
In most countries one needs the nationality of that country to be part of it's national army. Otherwise one is not much more than a mercenary.
Aaaa, but we have a very strong comunity in Romania. We do not need citizenship to be apart of the army. We all have rl romanian citizenship and that is enogh!
Now on topic: The governamental channel for belgium is #eBE. I am almost all the time there so feel free to ask anything (I am marked away because I am at work 😛)!

Uaithne, Welcome in eBelgium. Here you will have a choice to make: support the Romanians who PTO's our country (in this case you will probably receive citizenship), support the real Belgians in their cause to regain their country and to finally start to rebuild it (you will probably not receive citizenship because most of those who can give it are Romanians...) or you can choose to stay neutral.
It's up to you and should you have questions, don't hesitate to ask them.
Dear Uaithne,
Please don't pay attention to the discourteous remarks of our Romanian friends, they forget their manners sometimes.
You are most welcome in Belgium, your honorable reputation and friends precedes you !
Regards
Kheops
