MPP's and Empty Words
Relorian
Greetings eSingapore citizens and friends.
Today I will address the over inflated issue of MPP's and eSingapore.
Two citizens recently have become quite vocal on something that before now was never a concern.
I am speaking of course of our one true MPP with the eSwiss. They feel that it is simply not enough for eSingapore. They however dont put forth a list of whom they would like to engage in talks with or put forth anything besides conjecture. They also both infuse some real life nationalism and a touch of xenophobia into our little eSingapore. How you might ask? Read the articles for yourself, see if it doesn't sound like they are saying that sense they are RL singaporians that they know better than the rest of us.
They criticize our current government for making only 1 true MPP. Yes we are allied with the eUSA for the moment but thats for the purposes of bringing war games to our citizens to improve wellness, improve stats and make a market for our weapons makers to sell guns in.
Now, incase you dont know how an MPP works, I'll lay it down how I understand it. The way an MPP works is both nations propose an MPP with eachother. A fee of gold is needed for this measure and then a vote. IF passed, both nations are allied and the gold taken. If not, both nations are not allied but the gold is still taken as a fee for proposal.
Now our true allies, the eSwiss, pay for our current MPP every 30 days. They pony up both portions of the fee to make an MPP. What other nation does that? None that I know of with out being in a major alliance.
Now, at our stage of national development, eSingapore is a somewhat poor nation. Yes our tax plan is turning the economy around and is increasing our national coffers quite nicely but we are not at a stage where every 30 days we can afford large sums of gold for MPP's.
So where does that leave us? The eSwiss pay for their alliance. They send us raw materials and finished products. They are one of the top military nations despite being a rather small nation. They are made up of war vets through and through and know this game well. We should be honored they see fit to give us an alliance and that they pay for it.
We as a nation, can simply NOT afford more MPP's each month. With a PEACE GC nation on our border and eMalaysia on the other, we are blocked in. We cant afford to enrage PEACE GC as they can easily steam roll us, no matter how MPP's we make. We as a nation cant think about joining a thrid alliance that isnt even really up and running. We cant afford to be part of PEACE GC or the soon to be reformed ATLANTIS. Both of them extract huge sums of money for "Protection" and then when refused, PTO your nation and pay themselves no matter what.
In short eSingapore, We cannot afford to pay any of these huge costs and need to remain strictly neutral. More MPP's and Alliances are a BAD idea for eSingapore and its two biggest proponents cant even come up with a list of nations they would look at.
Please, become an informed reader. Look into our current status. Look into the two people putting forth their "real life" wisdom based on a real world singapore. This isnt the real world, there is no place for real world politics here. We are ALL eSingaporian citizens and need to stand up for our eNation based on what it is, our eNation. Also look at who those two people are associated with and what their motives are for over inflating this situation.

(thought you may like that 😛)
well i think friendships between nation is more important than having MPP.
also dipomat talks with our neighbours will be good as friendly status is better.
The Swiss are great allies, there is no reason we cannot discuss trying to have more allies and we have been as well but whoever thinks the Swiss have not been great is simply foolish and uninformed.
Good article Relorian. 🙂
To clarify
My article is not to say that eSwitzerland has not been great allies or that a single alliance is not enough. All I have been talking about is how it would better safeguard eSingapore's security through more alliance.
Maybe for now, due to our limited resources, it would be better that we maintain the situation through better friendships but that is still a start and I'm just putting forth the possibility of such a situation of a regional alliance in the future.
Every single political leader in the world in RL early 1960's think that Singapore as a nation is a joke and the island would be over taken by Indonesia or Malaysia within a few years afew the British leaves...except for Singaporean and Israeli. It's rather similar to our suituation right now. If you lack the visions, don't stop others from discussing.
Nobody is talking about new MPP right now. People who do not discuss and consider possibilities are merely surviving.
If some people choose to be selective reader, no further explanation needed.

Yup, I agree and I believe that alternative proposals should be put forth, instead of simply talking about what is thought of. I believe we should explore possibilities of exploring other bilateral relationships, and build a strategic network of alliances, of course, taking note of our expenditure as we do so.

I believe that its not that RL Singaporeans know better than non-RL Singaporeans, but I'm very sure that RL Singaporeans know, and should run, their own country better than others.
But that's not to say RL Singaporeans are xenophobic, but if RL Singaporeans are constantly being depicted as xenophobic, it becomes truth.
I believe that all eSingaporeans are equal, and I believe in meritocracy. People who have been proven to be able to help Singapore should be elevated. That's why we have Arbryn, and John Jay.
