The Case for Ireland to Join Fortis/Eden!!

Day 657, 06:34 • Published in Ireland USA • by Turd Fergusen

Ireland! Greetings, brothers from across the pond!
I write this article to make a case for Ireland to join F/E (or simply help them) in the ongoing and epic power struggle between PEACE GC and F/E.

I, Turd Fergusen (it’s a funny name) am a eUS citizen. I joined erepublik early in the war. A war I didn’t even understand at first. After my home state of Pennsylvania was overrun by the forces of PEACE, and left ravished and desolate, I fled to Florida where I have since remained, fighting for the resistance against the PEACE occupation against my once proud country.

As you well know, PEACE GC has started a worldwide, imperialistic, and ruthless campaign against both F/E and neutral countries alike. Ireland, I know has always been a proponent of self determination of a country by its own people in RL and in eRepublik alike. You yourselves have suffered before under the iron fist of foreign occupation under the Romanian PTO group (and I don’t even want to go into the RL issue of northern Ireland) Greece, a neutral nation felt the pressure of PEACE's imperialist take over attempt and the noble nation of Ireland stepped up against this injustice and signed a MPP with Greece. I ask that the great nation of Ireland step up and aid the eUS and its allies in the foreign takeover of north america and other unjust wars across the eWorld started by PEACE GC. PEACE’s war against us is a blatant contradiction of its founding principles and an injustice against the ruling principles of self determination. Will Ireland stand for this?

Naysayers will say that Ireland will face a threat of retaliation by PEACE if you were to join F/E against them. This is true, but unlike PEACE, Fortis/Eden protects its allies. You will be given the power of the 13 MPP of F/E nations. Against these, no PEACE nation can possibly succeed in conquering you. Ireland has no MPP against it by any country in the world and if attacked, it would be Ireland’s 13 MPP vs. the attacking country, most likely the UK or Hungary. It has been proven in the North American war. The eUSA and its 13 F/E mpp was more than enough to throw Indonesia, the most powerful nation in the world, off the continent.

F/E is a very tight knit group of nations, brought together even more by the wars against our homelands, and the realization of mistakes made in the past. It is guaranteed that Ireland would receive the same appreciation and protection as any other Fortis/Eden nation. PEACE, as mighty as they are, does not appreciate the needs of most of its member nations. PEACE is mostly about the big boys. Either Indonesia or Hungary. For example, Italy was left unprotected against a brutal PTO, the UK our old allies, were left for dead in the protection of their colonies in Canada, Russia was forced to pay a shit ton of gold to Hungary to buy back their own region.

Right now is the time to join an alliance Ireland! The two great powers are ravaging the world, Ireland, itself is without MPP’s and might eventually get swallowed up by hostile PEACE nations. Neutral nations are no longer safe! YOU NEED PROTECTION! This holocaust poem, by Martin Niemöller sums up what I am trying to say quite well:

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

Germany subjugated the people of Europe because as one group was oppressed, others would do nothing because it did not concern them directly. In the end Germany conquered them one by one where as if they united to stand up against oppression, they might have prevailed against the Germans. Ireland and the rest of the world may suffer this same fate by PEACE. If we stand together, Ireland, and the other free countries of the globe, we can stop PEACE and forge a new world order that respects a countries right to self determination!

I hope I have made the case that Fortis/Eden is the right alliance to join, so that we may continue our relationship as it was during peace times, when we were partners in training wars for the betterment of both of our nations. Think hard Ireland, and think well. This will be a hard decision but I am sure it will be the best decision for Ireland to make, and through it, your nation will blossom into the proud Irish nation that I am sure you have the potential to be!
