How I almost became a Minister of Defense of Finland

commander of 7th Cavalry

This article I'd like to dedicate to KapiRadom, a former Polish president in times when I learned a lot about strategy of this game

I have done a lot of odd jobs during my eRep career. I've been an ordinary worker, a party member, congressman in London, commune worker, chairman of the eInternationale, a world traveler, ... I quit all that jobs soon. I became a moving ticket company owner, a Serbian soldier, an emigrant, a double clicker, a poor businessman (which I still am), a unit commander, a journalist, and lately a party president.

Funny thing happened yesterday, yesterday I almost became a Minister of Defense of Finland.

I'll tell you how it happened.

I'm building this international Cavalry unit, we're trying to enter top 5 in UK. So with this unit we fight various wars now. And one day we enter this operations around Finland. And we go to other places as well, there's a military coup in UK last month, Dental Corps taking congress, and the cavalry is all around. A very efficient unit, no overkill, but got into a little trouble with the officials. I got to be a politically controversial person in UK by now I think.

So last month we go to Russia and we fight from this side. And we lose because of this crazy Russian that fights on Ukrainian side, but never mind, we also go to Finland and cut it. In this Karelia region. And we wipe Finland and Russians give them back, you know how Russians are, so I spam Finnish newspapers a little, and I got a little famous about Finnish survival.

Then I got this letter.
