[UKRP/TUP/WRP/ESO] The Cause Grows

Day 2,782, 08:27 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Sir Humphrey Appleby


Afternoon lads o7,

A shoutout to the good people of Free UKPP, Reform, ESO, TUP and WRP for their support in this election. I expect we have safely reached the threshold where Ajay will have to madly pump out multis to beat us in 2 days time. Commiserations Vichy UKPP, BDP and PCP - you are all more than welcome to participate in government nevertheless (if you’re not a multi 😛). It is the participation of anyone who wants to help that will be the chief focus on the upcoming term and our liberation.

Government Apps

As my surveymonkey app continues to bug with my current applications I’m happy for you just to drop me a message or comment here if you’d like to join der gov this month. Ministries will be fairly informal in structure - most of us know the ropes of their expected functions so I expect a lot of work will be handed as a group rather than just the usual Minister. If you want to help support with your experience or train up for office in the future then now’s the time to lend a hand!

Financial Affairs

Due to the sheer size of our occupiers and their allies we will have to play a pretty convincing David over the next few weeks. Added to this, we will face a looming crisis with our financial reserves - currently at around £360k that we’ve managed to save for the last 2 terms. We will realistically need to spend about half of it this term on MPPs alone, carefully making sure there’s enough to continue a skellington service next term without falling into bankruptcy. War Bonds may have to be looked into if the economic weather continues to piss on us…

Domestics

Keeping a community happy during a wipe can be a fairly difficult act for any government to pull off, particularly when there’s an element of helplessness that as a society we’re not particularly used to. This is why trying to encourage as many people to participate in government is an important aspect of both retention and experience; that newer eUKers don’t quickly buy into the mentality of giving up and older ones helping rather than grumbling (shoutout to Sexy!).

Understandably a lot of people are too busy with rl commitments to directly support the government with their help. But we can at least organise events and competitions to keep them indirectly amused with the quirkiness of the community beyond relenting the disappearance of the Union Jack from the game map. HM King Woldy has agreed to help organise these and I’m sure with whoever is asked to form the Domestics team should enjoy working with him :3.

Defence & Foreign Affairs

A key part of government I’d like to bring back is our diplomatic news service. In my opinion, keeping the community informed of international events and structures is one of the most important functions of government. It is alarming that a lot of new players are largely blind to a lot of what is happening beyond our borders; the government should be the primary source of helping them get involved in the international community and letting them know the status of our relationships. We will also try and link decent foreign articles for you to read too 🙂.

We will be bringing back Call to Arms on the MoD orders after an extremely generous donation of Q7s from the Monarch to avoid stressing the Treasury even further. Pending on how easy it is to organise with foreign leaders and their military units we will be having quite an active SAS orders feed too. I expect that, even if our efforts were eventually to fail to we have come to expect, the act of having really organised a proper show of force would at least give enthusiasm for the next try. But that may be too optimistic…
