Do or Die
Civil Anarchy
I know that people bitch about bringing real life into the game, but I really think what I’m about to say applies to our current situation.
Is a country not entitled to the right to govern it’s own affairs?
In the world community, there exists an idea. An idea that has defined how International diplomacy has developed over the course of the last seventy years, the principle of National Sovereignty. National Sovereignty is the protection of individual countries to govern their affairs as they see fit, and prevent infringements upon such policies. These infringements generally range from anything from direct intervention, to unfair coercion through intra-governmental entities with direct ties to a foreign nation.
I’m a huge International Diplomacy guy. I might be pursuing a career in the field sometime in my future. So, I’m a big proponent of this. I ardently believe it, and defend it. And I think this is one of the few out of game ideals that can translate seamlessly into the eWorld.
So I guess I should get to the point,
America, our national sovereignty has been compromised.
Through the policies of previous administrations, loosened IES procedures under old directors, and the usage of our country as a supply base for Eden and Terra countries, we have entered a state where we are no longer entirely in control of our policies. There exist elements within not only the general populace, but our highest bodies of leadership, that actively lobby for interests and actions that, while may be directly detrimental to the eUnited States, are in some way beneficial to foreign countries.
There is no problem with giving citizenship to people that genuinely want to be Americans. This is a game, after all, and loyalty to a country means so much more than where you come from in Real Life. This is the argument that people will try to use, and have been using, to justify the continuous acceptance of Eden Citizens, and having a loose immigration system in general. This is a non-sequiter.
Our problem does not lie with people who have American Citizenship and display loyalty to our country. There are many people from foreign countries that have given more to the eUSA then even I have. Artela, Chucky Norris, TTi, Fhaemita Malodorus, and many more have given their dedication, their sweat, and their love to this country.
Our problem lies with the people who take American Citizenship for the bonuses. The people who are accepted, move back to their country, and then sell their vote because they don’t give two shits about what happens in the USA, as long as their resource bonuses stay the same. And even worse than these apathetic citizens, are the ones who had American Citizenship gifted to them, and then turned around and vied for their own country in our politics. Individuals who voted for their candidates over American ones, so that they could have a Greek Congressmen in America, a Croatian, a Romanian, a Serbian, a Hungarian, ect. This sickens me. It is arguably the greatest infringement in our trust, and the abuse of a gift to their personal, and national gain, at the direct harm of ours. These are not the actions of friends, these are the actions of parasites.
We did not learn from our friends in Brazil. We naively thought that our allies would just use the citizenship to garner bonuses for their militaries, and then not care about the politics within that country. We didn’t think they would ever be so bold as to use that gift of citizenship, that gift of resources, that gift of friendship, to take things a step further. To decide that they want a direct line into the heart of our government. To decide they want the same control over the United States that the actual citizens are supposed to have.
The greatest indication of this fact was kindly supplied to me in the form of a rage article by the Greek CP, showing that they have a direct informant in the eUnited States Congress, and then publishing our MPP suggestion and discussion list for the world to see.
Are you okay with that?
Are you fine with the idea that we cannot even have secure discussions in our own private congress?
Anyone in America knows how utterly ridiculous and unstable our congressional elections have become. How vote buying has become a normal practice instead of something to be reviled and rooted out. How American Congressmen with American interests are being defeated by people who contribute nothing to the country, but use foreign people with USA citizenship to vote for them, and then move back to support the actual country they have loyalty to. This status quo cannot continue. It is the road to ruin for our country. It will kill our political climate, it will kill loyalty to the country, it will kill the legitimacy of our elections and our administration, and most importantly, it will kill our Country.
If we do not act now, things will only get worse. People without loyalty to the United States have gathered enough strength that we can no longer block them all from Congress. FEC is no longer an option alone, it cannot fight against the forces of our internal enemies. The only way we can save ourselves, and our elections, is if we are willing to sacrifice. And if we put America in a position where all of our loyalties are tested, and shown to be true.
Therefore, I’m making the announcement that we will be returning Navarre and Asturias to Spain, ending our official 100/100 bonuses, and forcing people to choose. If you truly have American Interests in mind, you will remain an American. If not, leave. It’s fine to disagree. It’s fine to say, “What you’re doing is silly, and it’s going to hurt our country.” In the short term, it will hurt us. We will have to survive it, as we did before. Yet in the long term, we will move forward, and we will return stability to our country.
I’m not afraid to do this. I don’t need to garner the vote of the non-loyal, self serving people who just happen to have American Citizenship. And, I’m not running for President this month. Unlike certain other candidates, I won’t be asking for the job of PoTUS during my college term. If you want to impeach me for it, do it. I’m looking forward to the discussion.
Ask yourself this, why are you here?
Are you here because there’s 100/100 bonuses, or are you here because you love the community, you love the idea of being eAmerican, or you simply love seeing the American flag next to your name. Our 100/100 bonuses are killing that idea, and killing that community, through the introduction of people that have no interest in our country except for the silly little percentage gain they get from it. This is a decision for the greater good of America, and for the continued stability of our country.
The power of a nation exists not in the amount of it weapons, it’s amount of MPPs, or it’s Alliance. The true power of a nation relies entirely on the ardency of it’s citizens, and nothing is a suitable replacement for loyalty.

In the short time Civil was given, he has proven to be one of the most daring, courageous and steadfast Presidents we have ever seen. My hat is off to you, may we all aspire to your greatness.
Voted
you are right.
But i think you will have to lose more than two regions. The population would decreased drastically...
Let's see
Voted. Eden PTO'ers get out!
The USA is my home now, resource bonus or not.
Hell yeah. 100/100 has been killing us.
o7 Mr. President
True patriots are forged in the fire, let's turn up the heat.
The plan might need more than a loss of 100/100 bonuses.
Parasites would need to be drawn away by better bonuses abroad.
Where do you think they will go?
let Anarchy reign.
FIST
Take it a step farther and give back Aquitaine.
My questioning with this method is where will they go as dumb emma has asked to get those bonus? The only country that has a steady source of 100/100 is China, which CS are even harder to get than in the US.
WIth that in mind, it's quite possible they won't leave because they don't have anything better out there.
Beside, this should have went throught the congress. Just as much as we need a vote to accept region rent, I don't see why such a policy wouldn't be up for it.
It might be just me, I'll go talk to crommy to bask in his expertise on this matter.
Sometimes Sacrifices are needed to a greater good!
Good Luck!

XDDD epicness
Hail CA
wrong, one quarter of all the Serbians have US cit now, and they are here not for the bonuses. if you do this, some edenites may leave and this will just do the PTO-ers stronger and US weaker, even in a long term
Props to CA for having the balls to do this. EDEN, ONE, etc immigrants should understand that citizenship means placing the eUS above their former countries. Even if we invade them.
Will we have enough votes to keep Ajay's Serbian friends out? If you didn't address it in the article, I suspect you didn't think about it, and if you didn't think about that, this is a half-assed idea.
@George Barker: The majority of Eden Citizens don't vote for us anyway, in fact, if you look at the We The People roster (Ajays former party) you'll notice that for every SerbHun avatar you see, you'll see a Greek, Bosnian, Croatian, or Romanian one as well. If they voted with us, this would be a different story. However, it is far more common for an Edenite to sell their vote than to see it used against Ajay. Overall, we're losing next to nothing. Plus, we control the Top 5, so Ajay cant run.
voted and subscribed
I agree.

@CA: give back aquitaine and mexican regions as well. Indonesia also needs our help to get back their regions, set orders for USAF to make all this happen.
In the short time Civil was given, he has proven to be one of the most daring, courageous and steadfast Presidents we have ever seen. My hat is off to you, may we all aspire to your greatness. x2
if you think all eden players are voting for Ajay, or that those who are doing it matter, you're delusional
I appreciated this article,and you do make some good points.
~hyuu~
Interesting thoughts.
v
They wont leave even if we don't have 100/100, so in my opinion this is pointless. Hey at least you're giving people something to talk about.
"the ones who had American Citizenship gifted to them, and then turned around and vied for their own country in our politics"
I should be proud to know that expats from my country who went to eUSA never did that. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
As for those moving to eUSA for the resource bonuses...wouldn't they have some interest in preserving the strength of eUSA so that those bonuses continue to provide to communes back home? Seems you overlooked this shared interest.
So are we (USAF) going to get more funding when we lose 100/100? 'Cuz I like working in my commune job every day and making supplies requests every day and fighting for priorities... every day.
If we are looking to lose bonuses, why aren't we giving back, our long time allies, France their regions? Why Spain, a country which has MPPs with our known enemies? And don't trot out that same old tired lame excuse about their being part of EDEN.
After checking with crommy, I saw that we didn't had any treaty valid about renting agreement, thus the congressman argument is out of the way.
Thank you Civil. I honestly had serious doubts about your presidency, but you have shown more leadership and courage than I could have asked for. It is greatly appreciated!
your solution deals with only one form of parasite, who are here for bonuses.
What you guys have planned for those parasites, who are here to PTO???
those guys are not here for bonuses. so you guys better find its solution too, cuz first parasite will leave after bonuses, but it will weaken your body too
@Ragu: I know for a fact many of the Bosnians and Romanians approved by the RLC have supported their interests and congressmen.
@plugson: Only if the eUSA is entirely devoted to their causes. If we show even the slightest sign of FA change, then they immediately turn against us.
@eShades: Yes, there is legislation in the works, including OMS.
@Lysander: Those long time allies have actually started a PTO Cell in the eUS. Some friends. Evidence on request.
@aovelhanegra: You overestimate the amount of people here solely for PTO. Many of the RLC approvals, whom are the parasites you speak of, were recruited to the eUS by promise of increased resource bonuses. Now, with their leadership cut off, the only reason they're staying is because of the economic bonus. If we take that away, many will return to their own country.
@ca, i am not eUS citizen, so i have no idea what the real strength of those PTO guys, but if thats the case then why you guys are waiting for...: )

Is a country not entitled to the right to govern it’s own affairs?

Yes, absolutely. Good luck in your ATO.
Voted. I will lose bonuses, we haven't always had them yet we have always been a strong country. Let's not lose our internal strength for a quick buck.
o7
You can count on us to get rid of these plague.
Awesome plan. It's going to be hard without the bonuses, but it's definitely for the best.
Voted. I got into the country legitimately while not caring about bonuses and I intend to help in whatever way possible. For freedom!
The more you bend over, the depper the cock goes in ...
