Rise Against the Machines

Day 1,100, 15:10 Published in USA USA by Max Wallingbottom III

Personal and partisan glory must occasionally take a backseat to pressing national interests. This election cycle is one of those times. Emerika, as a nation, has a chance to enslave one of our former conquerors and make sure they remain under our boot. Russia, a nation which held our territories just a few months ago and led the full scale invasion of Emerika in World War III, is now ripe for a change in its political regime. This is the right thing to do. All Emerikans should be working towards making this goal a realization on the 25th by properly voting in the Russian elections.



Undoubtedly, you have heard of the Kongressional freeze. This is a coordinated effort by all of the top five parties designed to send the maximum number of voters to Russia. Citizens working collectively for the benefit our the nation’s interest is our sole motivation with this quaint little operation. By collecting a majority of seats in Russia’s Kongres, we will able to unseat the forcibly installed Phoenix-backed President, and turn Russia into a cash cow, existing solely for the benefit of the United States and our allies. This will mean that we will have easy access to their high resource regions, their tax revenue, and the almighty attack button (for offensive and defensive battle strategies in Asia). There is almost nothing for our nation to lose from this effort.

Despite the general rabble-rousers’ and conspiracy theorists’ reports, we are merely temporarily suspending free elections in order for our nation to fully commit to this pious project. The abrogation of democracy in the new world is hardly new. In reality, democracy has rarely been present in Emerika’s history. Traditionally, parties pick and choose Kongressional seats, avoiding certain political battles, and reserving scrappy campaigns for special occasions. The goal is usually to control percentage numbers, not wage useless political wars. This is because the amount of quality candidates each month falls far short of demand due to our overabundance of regions. If true democracy were imposed, candidates flowing in from enemy nations would run in an attempt to weaken the United States from the inside-out, much like we are doing to Russia at the moment. This method is highly attractive because it is relatively cheaper than a declaration of war, and it also allows the conquered nation to be more effectively exploited because the conquering nation is now able to control the actual direction of the dominated nation. True democracy, like we are used to in real life, is just untenable in this game.


Citizens should always do the right thing.

The political side of this game is just another tool or weakness of a country, just like the military aspect. It can be used to actively weaken those nations which pose a threat to our interests, and it can be an exploitable point of weakness when it is not properly defended. Nations who wish to debate simple concepts by forming nominal committees, consider overly complicated ideas, or try to include everyone tend to get left behind in the grand scheme of things. Embracing simple and efficient ideas that are designed to progress our nation’s interests first will ensure our power is properly projected upon the new world. The morality behind certain tactics such as national PTO attempts should not even be considered, since it weakens our nation. Decisions should be made based on what is best for the country at the time. Adhering to abstract notions of what is right or wrong will limit our ability to realize our full potential as a nation. Just like it does not makes sense to shoot yourself in the foot before running in a race, it does not make sense to limit our options as a nation with abstract/debatable positions. Citizens should readily dismiss fear-mongers espousing the righteousness of true democracy; it is merely a myth within the game.

Citizens, just like it has always been, are able to enter the political realm through the top five parties. There is diversity between party personalities, and any citizen can carve our a proper niche by getting involved and working with their fellow players. There are not political elites looking to prevent committed players from helping the United States. There are only true patriots tirelessly working to make our nation stronger, not stirring up malcontent just for the sake of boredom. These players are implementing programs to feed citizens, keep people informed, and target our national damage for more effective results. All citizens are encouraged to get involved in the game, and work toward developing coherent national policies. This game really looks to your ability to persuade; if you can do so effectively, there is no reason why you cannot make an impact on the nation’s direction.

If you are content to plod along as another Emerikan citizen, do the simple things to play your part and do not allow real life biases detract you from basic efficiency. Participate in official government notices. Vote for approved candidates. Take advantage of Arm America Alerts and fight for your country. Do what you can, and always work towards bettering our nation’s position within the game, not what you may believe in the real world.

All Citizens who can should report to #ATO or #PTORussia on IRC tomorrow in the attempt to take Russia in the Right Direction.
