Thanks, and Final Apologies

Day 1,417, 12:52 • Published in Philippines USA • by Hekter

First, let me say how thankful I am to help lead the eCountry I love back into peace and prosperity. I am grateful to you all for putting your trust in me for the next month.

Concurrent with those goals, we have reached a peace goal with Taiwan to release Visayas, but to do so, we must first wash ourselves of our past mistakes and move forward.

Yes, it was a real attack on Taiwan during the so-called 'Training War'. Sansae2 had every intention on grabbing territory. What he did was not supported by every citizen, and as you can see by looking at the election numbers, the results were drastic.

Sansae2 has already apologized for his part, back in a comment, but was translated here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-sansae2--1871614/1/20

From what I understand, the decision was made by him to inject 'fun' back into the country, with a serious war, considering we've had only one contested war [against Colombia, which they were the aggressors], but with little actual thought put into it.

Marie acted without waiting for the eROC Congress to deliberate properly on the settlement of war terms. The second NE was ill-advised, and was aimed at regaining Philippine regions while the eROC was distracted by other wars.

However, I can point out that Congress apologized mightily for their part in approving the Natural Enemy declaration, which I published here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/apology-to-the-republic-of-china-taiwan-from-the-31st-32nd-congress-1871985/1/20

The decisions of the past Presidents, however, do not reflect that of every citizen, and not our character as a nation, and we hope to move forward with all of our neighbors.

Sincerely,
President Hekter
