Note: this article is a reprint with alterations of an earlier article I published 8 months ago here.
The Seven Points Speech reprised, with continued apologies to Woodrow Wilson)
Eight months ago I published a statement very similar to this one. I was Emerick's Vice President and a very young one by eRepublik standards - just 79 days old. Since that article was published much as transpire
For as long as I remain the President of the United States the following statements shall be our guiding principles with regards to foreign policy:
- Equality among nations and equitable treatment according to the standards defined below is paramount; there are no special situations.
- Ethical treatment of unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States, and nations allied to the United States is expected from all nations granted MPPs. In short, the United States promotes brotherhood amongst its allies and friends. If you wish to ally with us be cool and don't be a dick.
- The territorial integrity of unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States and nations allied to the United States shall be respected above all else. We also expect our allies to respect the territorial integrity of these nations. Summary: focus on those opposed to all of us, not those that pose no overall threat.
- All unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States and nations allied to the United States are sovereign with regards to decisions concerning internal matters and foreign policy. In short, if they don't want you to enter their country, don't. If you want a piece of it, negotiate a lease.
- The United States will no longer support countries that condone wars of conquest and occupation against unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States and nations allied to the United States. Again, if you pick a fight with these countries we won't sign an MPP with you or fight for you.
- The United States will support any unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States and nations allied to the United States in its attempts to free itself from occupation and repression at the hands of a foreign power. Summary: we like to side with the underdogs and not the bullies.
- The United States will seek equal access to markets, raw materials and finished goods for all nations.
This isn't hard to understand. Don't expect us to remain your ally if you're going to act like dicks and push around nations that don't deserve it. Fair, equitable and honest treatment is what engenders trust. Associating or allying with nations that don't practice fairness, honesty and equitable treatment tarnishes our reputation and makes us untrustworthy. It is my goal to clarify the position of the US with regards to other nations throughout eRepublik. It is no longer enough to simply oppose Phoenix and its occupation of foreign territory and its subjugation of nations; we must not become that which we seek to destroy. Contrary to recent conjecture, Nietsche is not dea

😛the near-complete occupation of the US, the subsequent freeing of our states with a healthy assist from some now-EDEN allies, a successful Asian campaign that has reduced the influence of Indonesia, the freeing of Australia, the continued battles over South Africa and throughout Europe. But one thing has remained steady: my belief in the utter truth of the basic foreign policy principles that follow:

10th Denied ;.;
meh
This is the most epic, and truly American, mission statement of any American President that I can remember from my 500+ days in this game. I support it wholeheartedly, and will fight to defend it whenever the need should arise. Mr. President, you have just vaulted yourself into the position of being one of the best Presidents the eUS has ever seen in my book.
I am watching 'Team America:World Police' on IFC channel as we speak.
I seem to remember this statement from something 😃
o/
Too much moralfaggotry
Voted with pride.
Voted, so hard.
1) Michael Collins: your trolling may be convincing to someone who doesn't know you've hated the US for at least a year.
2) Rangu: no, we're not the world police. But our allies can't continue to do dick moves against our other allies and troll us endlessly in the media and still expect our support.
Concise statement Mr. President! Voted.
o/ ...
Hell yeah, let the trolls roll, they have nothing on this.
The American Way, let's do this.
Voted 🙂
"- The United States will no longer support countries that condone wars of conquest and occupation against unaligned nations, nations friendly to the United States and nations allied to the United States. Again, if you pick a fight with these countries we won't sign an MPP with you or fight for you. "
Do you mean you'll fight for Austria against Poland and Croatia?
Because eAustria was one of the most neutral countries until the polish TO happened there.
Respect! I hope you get that kind of thinking in all other countries (it sounds funny even as I write it..)!
Also, there isn't "Nietsche", it's Nietzsche.
Why must you break my heart?
very nice sir
but "The United States will seek equal access to markets, raw materials and finished goods for all nations." i really wish to see more in other countrys doing this.
uhgreed
the man quotes Nietsche.
How do you justify the continued occupation of France and Germany by Spain and Poland? Does your foreign policy statement apply to them?
ndvanderhoofvenone: first off, get a new name goddamnit, and second off, those countries where not friendly to the United States, kthx
Sir! o7
&voted. hopefully our allies will see this.
Hard time.
I agree with Emerick. Why are we trying to be so just? The hate and war are what make the game fun, it's all in good spirit. What are we asking for here, fair and equal treatment to France? To Germany? They can burn with the rest of Phoenix.
HAIL EDEN!
HAIL EDEN!
HAIL EDEN!
How can we even possibly imagine quitting this great alliance? Every alliance has its stumbles, lets not continue the cycle of Atlantis dies, Eden born, Peace dies, Phoenix born. Do we want to get Hungary out of HK or what? How will that ever happen if we quit EDEN?
"and push around nations that don't deserve it."
who decides whether some nation deserves it or not?
o>
dudes, you arent world police in RL, surely you arent here x2
war, war and just war makes this game fun
Good PigInZen!!!!!
You truly show how amazing US people is.
Rangu and Emerick are correct.
Throwing in the offensive towel eh.
"Only allies on paper"
Jus' saying.
sounds not bad, but we'll see, if you walk the talk.
you supported and participated in the occupation of totally neutral france (member of neutral entente) and you are still there. and contrary (maybee, i don't know) to countries like china and india, the french don't want you in their country. so for me (and possibly not just for me) you are part of that opression system in western europe until you follow your own words.
nevertheless i wish you good luck in the attempt to achieve practically such noble standards
So who exactly are you talking to when you say "don't expect us to be our ally if you're going to act like dicks and push around nations that don't deserve it". Who got pushed around by your allies who didn't deserve it?
That's not much of a foreign policy statement if you ask me. I was under impression that things were starting to cool off after EDEN's success yesterday but I guess some people still feel the need to throw more oil on fire
Ah, so you'll be helping to free France? Good to hear. Ya know, seems as they were trying to build better relations with the eUS before Spain came along. And that they're neutral.
I await your attack upon the occupying Spaniards.
Vivat PigInZen!
The arrogance of America in one article
Ragnu I agree with John Barack, its not that we are the world police, its that we are talking actuality defining principles and holding ourselves accountable. We are not looking to do the easy thing, we are looking to do the hard thing, and looking for true allies that are willing to take that course with us.
I know a great story about one of my fellow medics in Iraq who was carrying a wounded Iraq that his brothers in arms had just shot. When the reporter asked him if he knew he was treating the enemy, he replied he is not the enemy no more he is my patient. We are better then that, and we prove it in how we live, actions speak louder then words.
Our allies are still our allies. Germany is Phoenix so why would we help free them? France wasn't exactly neutral since they were helping Phoenix when we were invading the UK.
So why did you help destroy France when they were neutral?
Both countries even signed peace
"Too much moralfaggotry"
I agree
I support this policy!
