State of the country

There has been a lot going on country wide actually. From new agreements being implemented to the take of new territories, we have seen quite a bit of activity over the last week. And it has been to the general benefit of eUSA. This has provided an interesting and quite exciting week of events.

As many people may have noticed, the eUSA has been at war recently. This has allowed for a lot of True Patriot activity for eUSA warriors over the last week. More over these battles have been done so under the controlled agreements. This helps ensures the continued peace for the country and strengthen foreign relations.



1) For much of the past week the eUSA has been involved in a training war aimed at assisting eRussia. eArgentina proposed eRussia as Natural Enemy, which would likely have led to a wipe of eRussia in war. To help out an long term friend to the eUSA it was decided to start a war with eRussia. This serves the purpose of allowing the eUSA to take a couple regions to ensure that eRussia could retrieve these regions in time to allow for them to have a congress. The eUSA is also acting as a buffer to prohibit further advancement of eArgentina. It has been stressed publicly that this action was not a sign of aggression against the invading forces of eArgentina (who currently hold 6 eRussian territories) and only a sign of friendship to eRussia, in hopes that a complete wipe will be avoided.

CP WildOwl states the motives for this in the following article link:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-potus-support-for-russia-2364193/1/20



2) In other war news, the eUSA has struck an agreement with eRepublic of China (Taiwan) to take two of the occupied provinces of eJapan. Hokkaido and Tohoku, respectively. The agreement calls for the eUSA to take Hokkaido immediately (that war is currently underway) and to take Tohoku after congressional elections.

The treaty also calls for no Natural Enemy legislation to be levied against eRepublic of China or eChina. This seems to be a promising venture on strengthening foreign ties as well as gathering bonuses.

Here is the link to the agreement:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-potus-treaty-with-republic-of-china-taiwan--2363568/1/20



3) CP WildOwl has continued his promise to communicate to the people through media and has released articles of his own, as well as plenty of government press. Here are a couple of the most recent releases.

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-potus-day-sixteen-2365357/1/20
Which briefly covers the CP’s thoughts the war in Russia, the disbandment of TWO, and the bonuses situation.

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/whpr-2254-pp-interviews-congress-and-ambassadors-2365551/1/20
Which contains short interviews with all the current top 5 Party Presidents, coverage of the foreign affairs including the wipe of eItaly, and the war in Canada.





State of the World

1) Speaking of the war in Canada, there is a war in Canada everyone! DoD orders are clear to not interfere with the fighting. This would be bad considering the developing relations with the three invading countries (eUK, eSpain, ePoland).

2) Also to be stated, as noted before, eArgentina is at war with eRussia and currently controls the bulk of the latter’s territories.

3) With the collapse of TWO there is a new world of politics emerging, the eUSA must find itself in the new surge. This will surely be done over the next few weeks.





State of my Gold

Konoha no Kiiroi Senko is the winner of my gold from last week.

Same rules as last week are applied again. Comment and you get an entry for my Gold. Before the next issue I will use random.org to pick a winner. For extra entries tell me your favorite video game in your comment. (World of Warcraft does not count. I despise that game, so pick something else. 😛 )





State of my Mind

Not really sure where my mind is. I am kind of lost amidst a gambit of swirling thoughts, possibilities, and self-perpetuated fears. As well as less tangible things that are as yet undefined. The general gist is that this week is full of potential. That potential is undoubtedly better than I see it to be.

Other than that, it now occurs to me how serious a geeky conversation really can be. I had such a conversation the other day with my cousin. On out regular trip up “The County” to drop his son off we got to talking about obscure video game lore. We were roughly an hour into the return trip (it is about three hours each way) the subject of Pokemon came up. My cousin is a Pokemon addict. He has owned every North American version of the game to come out.

This is probably not something anyone cares about, but though it is never directly stated in the series or games, the Pokemon games occur after a massive war. This is proven by some mentions by characters in the series that the protagonist would never have survived the war and so on. This is most easily shown, however, by the stark lack of adult men. They are few and far between. Most of the world is run by women or children. Those children fill in for adult roles in society.

We discussed this and it quickly went to, “We should have seen that sooner.” types of thoughts. And then we discussed how my cousins father used to tell him stories about going to places as a marine after this long wars had taken place and how he had told us stories about how the children there did fill the adult roles because there was a lack of mature men. So kids worked in the jobs left open and that needed to be done. We then discussed how that would affect society and culture of the affected area. We learned some philosophy and all because we talked about obscure facts from a silly video game.

Who said video games teach us nothing?

I will raise my glass to that any day…





Communication

Have a great idea about how to make the country a better place? Not sure where to turn? Contact a congressional member. Party should not matter. But the point is, make your voice heard.  The country needs active citizens.
Read up on what is going on.

List of current congressional members:

Public section of congress:
http://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php/board,15.0.html



Also… For anyone with foreign friends or e😜ats that are still living abroad, now is the time to invite them home. We have peace and are starting to get bonuses again. Things are improving and we need more citizens. You can help them get back by referring them to the IES procedures as found on the eUSA forum and the application to receive citizenship.

Education

Education in this game (and life in general) cannot be overstated. Nine out of seven people would agree with that. Another 83% will not believe this statement, but we don't talk about them.

With that in mind I would like to share links that are directed at helping people learn about the eWorld around them.

This week we have the same grab bag of education links:

That is all for this week. I sincerely hope that whatever becomes of you over the next week will be if not wondrous, at least pleasant. As always, thanks for reading. Stay Proud and Horny out there; unless you are not a Fed, then I suggest you stay your equivalent catch phrase. Or better yet, join us… 😉

And until next time.
