Official White House Press Release (#65): The Great Migration
11 January 2010, Day 783 of the New World.
The contents of this White House Press Release are:
1. The Great Migration
2. Government Job Interest Form
3. EDEN's Progress In Europe
4. The Influx of Iron & Economic Changes
5. Department of State Updates
6. Media Department Expansion
7. Ambassador Affairs Updates
8. North American University
The Great Migration
A massive relocation effort is underway. All citizens are encouraged to move to Karnataka, which was recently conquered from Indonesia. Those who cannot afford the price of a moving ticket may apply for one here. Help protect our hard-earned gains and move!
Government Job Interest Form
The eUnited States Government has created a one-stop shop for anyone interested in volunteering to help their country. Simply visit the newly updated Government Job Interest Form and indicate your interests in fields like the military, foreign policy, economics, domestic affairs, media, technology, and administration. Positions of all skill levels and involvement are available. It's just that easy.
EDEN's Progress In Europe
Since the last issue of the White House Press Release, EDEN has made tremendous progress in Europe. Most recently, Poland erased Germany from the map thanks to another stellar tanking effort last night. This one knocked down a 700k wall in less than thirty minutes. Farther east, Romania conquered Bulgaria to eliminate another Phoenix puppet-state. Better yet, because of their success in Bulgaria, Romania has also been able to disrupt Serbia's land bridge to India, costing the Serbs countless wasted gold. Meanwhile Spain has France down to two regions and, at the same time, has begun to conquer the British-held territories in Belgium. In the Mediterranean, Greece has Turkey on its heels as Greek troops march to reclaim Israel.
The Influx of Iron & Economic Changes
Due to the substantial impact that the high-iron region of Karnataka has had on the United States economy, the Congressional Budget Office has decided to raise the USD exchange rate to 1 USD = 0.03 gold. As sydiot explains here, the altered exchange rate is designed to reflect the new economy - one that includes a high-iron region.
Department of State Updates
Secretary of State Bradley Reala has announced several substantial updates to the Department of State. The Bureau of the International Database, an eRepublik version of the CIA World Factbook, is run by timothybeasley. He's looking for highly organized players, preferably with encyclopedic knowledge of the early days of eRepublik. Brent Abernathy runs the Immigration and Naturalization and is looking for people who want to keep our borders safe and help US Senators.
Media Department Expansion
The Department of Media has been undergoing expansion since I took office as Secretary of Media during the Frost administration. The Pony Express migrated to the Media department, and now more initiatives in the Media department are beginning. The Secretary of Media and White House Press Secretary were once married positions, and I have held them since November. To better oversee the entirety of the Media department in my Cabinet-level post, it is necessary to divorce those positions. The new White House Press Secretary, in charge of these press meetings, is Mr. Hyphenated. It is my hope that the Media department and the White House Press Release will be improved by this move. Keep subscribed for updates on behalf of the eUnited States, and please welcome our new press secretary!
Rheinlander von Phalz
Secretary of Media
Ambassadorial Affairs Updates
The Bureau of Ambassadorial Affairs has rearranged its management. Indrae will lead the Bureau for the second month, aided by two deputies: comandokiller and Myles Robinson. The two deputies will oversee the seven ambassadorial regions of Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
North American University
The North American University will be starting up again in the near future. Their registration forum is here, and courses will be offered in history, economics, and other aspects pertinent to eRepublik. Contact Fionia with any questions relating to the NAU, and review this article for more details.
This concludes the sixty-fifth White House Press Release and the second one of this Presidential term. Observe DoD Orders, as there will likely be plenty of opportunities to erode Phoenix's power even more!
Signing off,
Mr. Hyphenated
White House Press Secretary
Rheinlander von Phalz
Secretary of Media

Well it's good to know you came all the way to Karnataka to "liberate" it from the Indonesian oppression, right?🙂
Shame on you USA... It's only imperialism if others do it, but when you do it it's just "protecting our hard-earned gains, right?🙂 FAIL!
I love the pic of the empty room, lets show them how we do business! lol
we will return Karnataka in February
The difference between the United States controlling Karnataka and Indonesia controlling Karnataka is that India offered the region to us.
Actually, the difference is that we're paying rent. That's something Indonesia never did. Hard to be imperialism when you're paying rent...
You know when they sing "how we gonna pay / how we gonna pay / how we gonna pay / last year's rent / this year's rent / next year's rent?"?
Why did no one ever answer "get a real job!"?
\o/
Hey Bros!
WyrmHero:
I bet you anything that you WILL NOT return Karnataka in February...🙂 You still believe in that? Awwwww, that's so cute🙂
Seriously dudes, you are still buying into that cr@p? You are doing the same as IRL... trying to justify imperialism with a lame excuse.
Just strap on a pair and tell the worl😛 "Yes, we are imperialists, just like everyone else, because WE CAN."🙂 I think people would respect you more...
No, Galantai, that is what we'll say when we conquer Jakarta.
"Better yet, because of their success in Bulgaria, Romania has also been able to disrupt Serbia's land bridge to India, costing the Serbs countless wasted gold."
Did you actually take a look at the http://www.erepublik.com/en/map/Serbia">map of Serbia?
Why don't you and China release to other Indian regions beside Karnataka? (not trolling)
Respectfully, Sukarno, putting an appellation like (not trolling) doesn't prove you're not trolling.

JBB
lol @ Galantai's Typical Phoenix Trolling(TM). When the US was not attacking, Phoenix trolls called us "cowards" for not pushing the attack button. Now that we're attacking and winning, we're imperialists. Whatever works, right? We will return Karnakata when India and the eUS agree that it's the right time to return Karnakata. Your opinion will have precisely zero influence on the decision, so please, by all means, crawl back into your hole.
@Galantai the eHungarian: How about if instead of returning Karnataka, we went after Helo Kity? Better still, eRomania will return to Budapest for the second time. This time we will thoroughly colonize eHungary for a while, so that you feel what you have inflicted to others around the world. There are already peace discussions about distributing former Phoenix posessions in Europe to more deserving owners. By the way, they are taking place in eTrianon, Spain 🙂
I put that there because it was a serious question 😐
NOW ANSWER IT
Mr. H!
Is this another blocking operation?
@Galantai: a Hungarian saying "shame" on anyone is pretty damn funny.
@Sukarnos: get back to work.
I coulda sworn India taking Karnataka would be in violation of their NAP with Indo.
Sup Newton! Woot for WHPR Secretary. And Sidewsipe, you're right.
sooo when do you intend to give those liberated regions back to its owners???
LOOOOL, what a liberation aye ?
"protecting our hard-earned gains" ... "we pay a rent" ... "India gave it to us" ... which India, the one you just TO-ed.
Hang on, the tide of the war will change ... go dig yourself in there, WE will dig you out 😉
Why don't people answer my question? 🙁
I'm not trolling, geez
@Sukdamos - were too busy helping our allies, something you should learn about
no, seriously, don't act foolish. you know exactly why those territories weren't released. There is a strategic value in hold multiple territories. Most importantly, if one were to be attacked by, oh I don't know SERBIA, we wouldn't be knocked completely out of Asia with the loss of one or two regions. Remember how your country had to hold onto WSR to defend it against Romania, and Hungary had to hold onto Podolia???? OUCH BRAH IT BURNS DEEP!
The plan is, and always has been to defend Karnataka from Phoenix aggression until the NAP has expired. At that point the situation will be re-evaluated. If India wants it, they merely have to notify us, and pay the costs of the RW. if they prefer we rent it and pay them for it, then that may continue.
congrats to Mr. H on the new job. I think it suits you well. GL
Or maybe you guys just wants to block us from getting back Madhya Pradesh according to the contract 😐
