The following is an interview with former Prime Minister of the eUK and eMexico, Dishmcds. The interview was conducted on 9/4/10.

Loken silverbloo😛 To start, how do you feel about GlaDOS?
Dishmcds: GLaDOS and I have been friends since time began almost. When I was in Mexico we became pretty close, and that hasn't changed since. I feel confident in his ability to lead, although like most Presidents he needs a strong team to pick up in the areas he's not the strongest in.

Loken: Ok, do you think that invading Norway was a good choice?
Dish: Yes. It's been on the agenda for quite a while.

Loken: What do you think about the situation with Ireland? It’s quite a hot topic at the moment.
Dish: I think Ireland itself is relevant. For two years they talk of "being neutral", then get taken over by Americans, and now they want to talk about how tough they are.The only reason Ireland exists today is because long ago they made a deal with both PEACE and ATLANTIS to leave them alone, however, it's time to re-evaluate this.I don't care if they're in an alliance, personally, I think it was a good choice, however, they must be prepared to deal with the consequences of their actions. Also, their inability to measure true battle statistics is pretty hilarious.

Loken: That’s true. So do you think it's worth invading them? Or should we just ignore them for now?
Dish: I think if invading Ireland becomes feasible, it will happen. If not, then it won't. Much like Norway, we won't rule out that possibility, but we're certainly not going to do something to jeopardise ourselves either.

Loken: Wise words. And what about America? The forums have been quite divided about what to do with them.
Dish: I don't think we have to worry about the US, at the moment. Their conflict with EDEN and expansion of the Brolliance is still quite new, and we aren't going to get in the middle of it until it benefits us. There's no need to choose a side until necessary. If the US becomes a problem, we'll readdress it, but at this point, it's best to see where all the cards fall first.

Loken: What do you think is next for the brolliance then?
Dish: I'm not sure, really. I don't think even most Americans like the new expansion of the Brolliance, as it was supposed to be countries with bonds like the US and Canada. I don't see that between Japan and Ireland, etc, so it's interesting to see how they develop. Combine that with the US being the only viable military power, and really they're nothing more than the US+children at this point.

Loken: Yeah, a lot of people have called it an umbrella alliance.
Dish: Well, basically the US now has to serve as a protectorate to 4 other countries.

Loken: On the topic of EDEN, what do you think is the future of our relations with EDEN and if there is any hope of a relative Peace in the future?
Dish: Well, we're certainly not going to be bff's any time soon, with our past relationships. I think, as with most situations, once you get past the trolls and uninformed people, the older citizens of the Alliances actually get along, we just don't see eye to eye. We'll still be adversaries as always, but there's always the possibility of cooperation. Just depends on the situation, really.

Loken: Just a few more question to wrap things up, do you think Karacticus did well as a follow up to you? A Lot of people criticized him as being inactive?
Dish: Well, it's hard to come down from two months where you had to log in and see how your country was going to survive to going to a month where literally nothing domestically happened. I think Karacticus did well with what he had, kept a lid on things, and moved the country forward a bit. Since I was on vacation for three weeks of his term, I'm not sure if he was inactive or not, although certainly every Prime Minister looks back on some things and knows they could have done better.

Loken: So what's your new position in Phoenix like? Is it fun? What kind of responsibilities do you have? Is there any special perks?
Dish: No Special perks, really. It's quite a bit of work, although we share responsibilities (Kistru is the Co-SG). It's basically coordinating battle plans, keeping in contact with countries, and being around to help out where I'm needed. I have fun because I don't have to limit myself to what borders the United Kingdom. xD

Loken: Sounds pretty hard, but do you at least get free cake?
Dish: No, they make me pay full price. ;_; Remember, we're all equals.

Loken: Commies... anyway, to finish things off, are you a Bobloist or a Dioist?
Dish: Dio is the only true Lord in Erepublik. Anyone else is merely a pretender following his guidance.

Loken: I too follow the teachings of Dio 😁, well it's been great talking to you. I hope to see you again soon
Dish: Talk to you later.
