Its been 15 days since I was elected to serve eIndia this month as the country President. And what a 15 days have they been. From being wiped out by Pakistan and being shoved from 1 free region to the other with Serbian Army under the flag of Pakistan hard on our heels, to a situation where we have recovered all our regions, put our stamp on the capital region of ePakistan and have actually all but wiped ePakistan with the help of our eChinese friends. They rightly say that 15 days is a long time in eRepublik
😉
Anyway, we are in a pretty good situation right now.. All regions are back in the fold after a long long time (some tell me its been over an year since we last had all 17 regions), Pakistan got what was coming to it. China has her boxed pretty well and at the time of writing this has 3 out of 4 of its regions under its control.
The fallout of that however is that our war with Pakistan is over (no border left). However as Maverick, King and I said in our previous articles, we did what we set out to do. Kicked Pakistan out of our regions by ourselves (of course with ample support from our MPPs and the friendly MUs like ST6, Blue Rose, Libertad etc), took the battle to their home ground and defeated them in their capital region Punjab, and have the satisfaction of now seeing them defeated completely with eChina occupying 75% (soon to become 100
😵of their regions.
A lot of people were surprised by our easy defeat in Sindh a few days back after we successfully captured Punjab and then a tame loss in the RW of Punjab. Well, there were a multiple reasons, all leading to the decision of calling off the strike in Sindh and allowing Pak to win Punjab, Gujrat and Maharashtra after that.
The reason was simple. China wanted to capture Punjab, Sindh and NWFP to augment its resources. Now given the new RW rules, its practically impossible for a small country to hold on to a colony for long and given our size, the benefits of added resource bonus in no way would justify the cost of holding off daily RWs in those regions. On the other hand, for eChina, with its large population and manufacturing base, the resource % boost is large enough in absolute terms to justify that cost. Hence to enable the Chinese invasion of ePakistan, we started our slow retreat from ePakistan and even allowed them to win next 2 battles in Gujrat and Maharashtra so that we could win them back in next 2 days while China comes in from North via NWFP to NE ePakistan.
The idea was to maximise the time period for which we could keep the NE with Pakistan so as to allow our citizens to complete missions as well as allow them to keep earning NE training bonuses.
Otherwise, since begining of this term, we have not lost a single battle that we have fought with an intent to win.
The battles with ePakistan have taken up most of the govt's time in these 2 weeks so there is little else to talk about, except the awesome job Ashwamedh has been doing in the Ministry of Media.
So with the revenge on ePakistan behind us (till next time the two of us decide to play this merry go round), this administration plans to focus on the following agenda in the coming weeks
1. Increased focus on Internal Affairs and retention
2. Closer alignment with EDEN
3. Reevaluation of ties with eUSA and a possible MPP
4. Finalization of certain business deals with China that are being discussed
5. Retrieval of our Companies from the national organizations where they are stuck
cheers and God Bless

Thanks for the mention Graf... but well, that is untrue. It hasnt been an awesome job by far and there is still a lot to be done. I just hope that things pick up on the Media front after a slow beginning...
Ash, buddy, life is relative.. I am just happy benchmarking with last few months.. xD

I say no to the USA we don't need them we just need EDEN. They are ungrateful assholes still fixed on ancient history. Though my experiences were with UM and not ST6.
>large enough in absolute terms to justify that cost
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
>defeated them in their capital region Punjab
There is no defeat in war, my friend, only small changes of 'fate' that determine a certain outcome for a certain amount of time; that is true in all things though ; )
>pick up on the Media front after a slow beginning...
You have 101010161515268339899999 things to do now due to the changes, especially in battles. Don't be too hard on yourself. Ever thought of hiring somebody to the cabinet that would sit in your chans and write up and article every few days with authority from the President?
>Reevaluation of ties with eUSA and a possible MP
This is after, or before, I trolled your ambassador as part of my ambassadorial duties? No hard feelings, it was was business.

Right as always 🙂

None whatsoever xD

You know Polocy would have been a real asset to the Media - dammit... such a waste he is on the opposite side of the fence : (
5. Retrieval of our Companies from the national organizations where they are stuck
The other 4 added together don't come close to this. Massive goof up earlier and no accountability or ownership for the lack of decision making. The admins have no fault in this when they clearly outlined the date of June 5th to decide. If not prepared for transparency or ownership people shouldn't even think of standing for president. Activity is the least of the problem. A silly medal has cost this country dearly for lack of respect for the chair and the people of the country.
Graf if you get these back, your a national hero.

HAIL GRAF....\m/

Looking forward to the day when we can kick some more of Pakistan's ass! That day will come!
A lot of speculations indeed in this article. Its easier to distort the reason of an outcome, yet, impossible to refute it. So, i would refrain to comment on the whys and hows and what-ifs.
But Please don't confuse humbleness with impotency. You of all people know we could have dragged the war forever without letting you getting in sight of Punjab, ever! : )
But, congrats. I knew only u could have taken India out of this shit storm. And you did an excellent job.
Good luck.. till the paths cross again (hopefully after both countries have a big babyboom so that nobody has to pay admin to fight wars O_o)
Thanks for the congrats.. Appreciate the vote of confidence. And surely, best wishes to both our countries for the big baby boom..
