Some Presidential Updates
Alot of things have been happening in the past few days so I wanted to make sure everybody is up to speed on what were doing.
Military
With the World War seemingly slowing down we have decided to restart the Sol Wargames. We had the money and we wanted to make sure Ireland had its fill of battles.
Ministry of Finance
Ministers Moomoohead and Nogin developed a wonderful finance report that has really set a model for the future. It was a wish of mine and the Finance Ministry to make all of our spending transparent and I was happy to see it put together so fast.
After reviewing the finance report I did decided to make some changes. Previously the state hospital company was giving market rate wages and donating Q5 food to its workers. That coupled with the cost of wood raised the price of operating the hospital company to unsustainable levels. To adjust the budget we have lowered wages back to a pittance and have eliminated the donations. The hospital company is for volunteers not for full time workers. In addition to all of that Ireland does not have any pressing need for more hospitals.
Ministry of Industry
No doubt yall have read the story of gross mismanagement of the state industries. My administration took swift action to find the problems and correct the situation. All the problems highlighted in the article have been fixed and Nogin the Nog has been put in charge to keep the state companies on track.
Foreign Affairs
Making friends is one of the most important things a country can do in erepublik. This past week Santiago Hortez(MoFA) and I have been talking with the Belgian government to engender good relations between our two countries. The British have recently been making threats about a possible invasion of Belgium and while we know the British no longer have the manhood to press the button we feel it is necessary to join in solidarity with the Belgians. If in the exceedingly rare chance they are attacked Ireland will devote every resource to defeating the redcoat and helping our new friends.
In other news, our Bro Japan has started offensive operations against the country of South Korea. Since Brolliance is a defensive organization we are not bound to participate and we will not be helping in anyway. I personally believe Ireland should help smaller nations like ourselves, not conquer them.

Btw, if you didnt already check out Irish Princess' MoC carnival then you are really missing out. She put together several fun games which test your knowledge of our fellow citizens. She did a great job and Im only bummed because I wasnt good enough to get a prize

I fixed it IP
Make friends in chatrooms
The Princess thanks you kindly ♥
yey, nice update !
how about all the IDF soldiers with wellness problems who got PM'd?
did you know 358 gifts have been issued so far ?
43 people have benefited from Irish State Gifts !
only in this term
Thin on the eSK debacle, but good to see anything at all.
Could I ask you to expand a little, please patton?
The press is awash in this, and it's hot, as we discussed.
Thanks.
Play the Carnival Games! <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-fir[..]/1/20">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-fir[..]/1/20</a> They are great!
Dont forget to visit the DOD chatroom too! <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/chat/open/850">http://www.erepublik.com/en/chat/open/85[..]n/850</a>
voted. It is nice to be updated with what is happening.
Certainly not feeling the love for our bro's in eJapan. I wouldn't mind hearing a little more about the eSK invasion as well, boss.

Yes, more please.

Nice to hear about the war games. it was getting a bit slow.
While you want to show your solidarity with Belgium, you could ask your Americans friends from the SAC to get out of Belgium
Thanks.
Greetings from eBelgium!
It sure is nice to know that someone is willing to stick out his neck for us in case of trouble

Sick.
Think about it.
o7 21 to Yddub.
Fair play to ye, Soldier.
Srsly patton, time to lay it all out,please.
Just 50 citizens left under the eSK flag now....that seem fair to anyone?

''the state hospital company was giving market rate wages and donating Q5 food to its workers''
Absolutely incorrect.
I was getting 10 IEP and a Q5 food, until the food ran out I worked two days and left. I am back by the way
It is good to know eIreland wishes to be our friend
i hope that the friendship between eBelgium and eIreland will deliver us both more prospect in the future.
maybe we could also help each other on economic aspects!
Nice update. Fair play to you President patton!
Would we be saying the same thing if we were a 20,000 member nation?
Just hoping we don't cross into hypocrisy here.
Some good solid facts there...oh wait...
Nice to hear some of the world's news. I was amazed to see SK has only 90 people. I mean, I can understand some fearful refugees but those kind of numbers are ridiculous even in the face of a Japanese invasion...
On the other hand, the concept of an eIrish and eBelgian friendship sounds like a good idea. And a nice chance to kill some redcoats if they can grow some balls...
