RealClearPolitics
Haemon
Good day everyone!
I am happy to bring you my new newspaper- RealClearPolitics.
I might be new to the game but it wasn’t hard to see that eIreland is having some tough times.
First of all, we are at war and are threatened daily by our enemies.
Second of all, our economy is glooming and it looks like not much is being done.
The truth is that even if our government is taking actions- we would barley know about it because no one is updating us.
It seems that most citizens of eIreland don’t really care what their government is doing and that is a big shame!
For this reason I have decided to open RealClearPolitics which will update the citizens of eIreland about what their government is doing, explain new law proposals etc.
Moreover, I am planning on doing interviews with any president, cabinet member, parliament member, party member and candidate that is willing to be interviewed.
In those interviews the public figure will have a rare chance of reaching out to his voters and people, update them on his policy's and believes, and tackle some questions raised by the public.
It is time to be interested in our government, in our future. Join me and let’s make our Politics RealClearPolitics!

"Second of all, our economy is glooming and it looks like not much is being done."
Not much can be done. The eRep market bot to counteract overproduction has pumped a ton of currency into the markets of EVERY country. The economy is glooming everywhere. I spent a lot of gold fighting the devaluation of our currency, and I only delayed the inevitable. I was able to keep us around 0.010 longer than most countries. All countries are floating around 0.002-0.005 now.
v and 1st sub!
Bhane,
That might be true but the government should address this subject and guide its citizens.
I am not criticizing the government for not doing anything- I am saying that if it is doing something, we are not told about it and that’s a shame!
I completely agree with that sentiment, Haemon. That's why I started my monthly tax articles. I heartily endorse a lot more transparency from the government.
The government's position is that the admins are making it impossible to govern the economy, so we've separated the essential operation of the economy for the defence of the country by communising the military.
We can only do damage control while the admins have the current system in place, or while they keep changing it.
Brian, I am not speaking only about the economy.
I feel you have misread my meanings. I’m not criticizing the government’s economical policy, I’m criticizing the fact that there is no transparency- the citizens do not know what the government is doing (in all areas- not only economically). The game doesn’t give enough room for the government to stay in touch with the citizens and therefore I felt the need to make a Newspaper that helps the citizens, new and old, understand what their government is up to.
"The government's position is that the admins are making it impossible to govern the economy, so we've separated the essential operation of the economy for the defence of the country by communising the military."
The "government's" position is changing like the mood of a teenage girl in love. Once launching a deluded campaign of bringing the Gold/IEP to a "natural" rate of 190(!), then completely abandoning the monetary and letting the rate swing more than 100%. Proposing a tax reform and again postponing it and never again again readdressing the issue.
That 'communised' military means three dozen workers in 8 companies - using their 'employee work clicks' at a pathetic efficiency and most of them having their own companies beside: http://tinyurl.com/6x45ogf
Fact is that the current administration (aka Marcus' clique) cannot into numbers. It is of course not the admins making it impossible to govern the economy, but the total and ultimate lack of insight and complete ignorance of those in the govt & army leadership.
However I strongly advise you against poking your nose into their dealing - you can easily end up like me: Marcus' just banned me from the national forum as a pettyminded revenge for me reporting his in-game vulgar insults.
Criticise the and you'll soon become a 'troll', 'full of shit', a 'fascist' and a 'PTOer'. Echo their self-glorification and you can even become a VP - even if you had provenly stolen from the community.
Btw, Bhane is to some extent right. The recent changes made our relative disadvantages fixed. Whatever we do, we'll be in a comparative disadvantage to bigger countries.

Naturally that doesn't mean that a government couldn't or shouldn't take steps to reduce that disadvantage. Only that we needed a competent government for that.

Now thats just a lie, with all the work I have been doing to turn this war around with no funds I have got a big update out for the people of Ireland. If you are not registered on the forum this would be the reason that you are unaware of whats happening.

Looking forward to your second article.
"If you are not registered on the forum this would be the reason that you are unaware of whats happening."
Most average citizens do not sign up for extraneous forums and sub-forums. I entreat you to use the in-game communication tools a lot more, and the private forums a lot less.
Stranger, the maximally active population of Ireland is about three or four dozen people, always has been.
Two-clickers don't exactly do anything other than two click, or else we would be able to get them into the military..
Private forums like the Private Dail?
Where all top secret info is kept, is that what you mean Bhane?
You sign up for one forum and thats it...all the sections are there and you can minimize any sections you want.
