[Botschafterin eBulgarien] Our diplomatic corpus

Day 3,556, 05:56 Published in Germany Bulgaria by Maggy Vasileva

Hello, eGermans.

Let me introduce the idea of such kind of "animal" like the diplomatic corpus in the game. As you know it is not something official - not a part of the game mechanic. However some countries decided to build such kind of structure in order to boost the effort of their governments in the international area. For the countries, which are traditionally allies (like ours), the stuff are comparatively easy - the role of the ambassador is mainly to represent his/her fatherland to the country, where he/she is sent. If the countries are in non-training war, it is harder, but maybe more interesting.



I used to wonder what exactly to write and how to represent my colleagues and I think that the best is to ask direct them - to see the humans behind the stories our foreign friends are reading.
Currently eBulgaria has 11 ambassadors and 6 of us was so nice to answer to my questions.

In Brasil - Nothre;
in France - Akaga;
in Germany - Maggy Vasileva;
in Iran - MattrimCauthon;
in Macedonia - Andromeda11 and
in the United Kingdom - Vladi U.

We are communicating mostly in skype. There everybody has a nickname, often different than the real name or the ingame name. So sometimes I am forgoting their (ingame) names. I think that they will forgive me for this. In my mind they are the voice of the country, they are representing, so I called them after the country. I think I am not the only one - аfter months and sometimes years publishing papers in our media, the readers are starting to associate those players with "their" countries. So - yep - Q&A:

Who are you in the real life?
Brasil:* Ⱃⰰⰱⱁⱅⰵⱋⱏ ⰷⱁⰲⰵⰽⱏ - ⰕⰓⰈⱏ. Работещ човек - ТРЗ. Work in Human resourses. Trabalho no departamento de recursos humanos.
France:* A great dreamer
Germany:* A chemist by education and a poetess by a soul. 🙂
Iran:* http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Matrim_Cauthon or Perrin 🙂 Most friends call me Perrin in real life too. I work as an IT specialist in a huge american cooporation.. Yah the usual.
Macedonia:** Just Ana. 🙂 A common girl. I am studying (again 🙂 ). i am working, I am having fun - the usual stuff. When I have a free time, I am reading, watching movies, listening music, going to the beach, raising flowers in the garden, carving vegetables or playing games.
United Kingdom:* In the real life I am just one common person. Interested in politics and maybe some kinds of social games - the reason why I started playing eRepublik.

How and why you decided to become an ambassador?
Brasil:* ⰒⰔⰈ!!!! Ⰸⰰⱃⰰⰴⰻ ⱀⱁⰲⰻⱅⰵ ⱂⱁⰸⱀⰰⱀⱄⱅⰲⰰ, ⰽⱁⰻⱅⱁ ⱄⱏⰸⰴⰰⰴⱁⱈ ⱂⱁ ⰲⱃⰵⰿⰵ ⱀⰰ ⰿⱁⰻⱅⰵ ⰿⰰⱀⰴⰰⱅⰻ, ⰽⱁⰳⰰⱅⱁ ⰱⱑⱈ ⱂⱁⱄⰾⰰⱀⰻⰽ. Заради новите познанства, които предоставя длъжността. Because of the new friendships that I made during my terms of ambassador. Por casa das novas amizades que fiz durante os meus termos de embaixador. Из-за того, что я создал новые знакомства с разными людми.
France:* I read an article of than head of DK Bancho and it became interesting for me. I had something like an exam to admit me.
Germany:* I wanted to make my game more diverse.
Iran:* Because I have a few good friends in Iran. Althou lately I am not that active.. I need to change that
Macedonia:** Before 1 year I read a paper of the diplomatic corpus. Then the political situation in the erepublik was not so stable and it was interesting for me to see the stuff from the inside.
United Kingdom:* I was not so active in the game and needed some kind of diversity, change, even a challenge. It sounded interesting to me to try to be ambassador of eBulgaria. It was a new activity to do as well as useful for my country.

How and why you picked exactly this country?
Brasil:* Ⰸⰰⱃⰰⰴⰻ ⱇⰰⰽⱅⱏⱅ, ⰷⰵ ⰿⰵ ⰸⰰⰻⱀⱅⱃⰻⰳⱆⰲⰰ ⱄⰰⰿⰻⱑⱅⱏ ⰵⰴⰻⰽⱏ. Поради фактът, че ме заинтригува самият език и историята му. Because I found a lot of interesting facts about the Portuguese. Porque encontrei muitos fatos interessantes sobre o portugues.
France:* In RL I love France and Russia, and for some time, thanks the eRep and Chile 🙂 I just love them - love unexpleinable 🙂
Germany:* First of all because of my love to this country. Than I fell in love in a German boy, I invited him to play the game and I decided that it's the time to start. We are not together anymore, but the commitment and the pleasure to do this work are still on. And I am happy about this.
Iran:* Back in 2015 Iranians were the 1st people that accepted my attempts to make new friends for eBG. Thanks to them I managed to make many new friends in Asteria and Pro Asteia.
Macedonia:** The relation between our 2 countries always were interesting for me - in the real life and here. 🙂 Futhermore those time a lot of things happened in both e-countries.There's not better challenge. I couldn't stop myself, when I saw, that they are looking for an ambassador there.
United Kingdom:* First of all, we did not have ambassador there. The UK is an interesting place, giving you the chance to meet interesting people. I am really happy of my choice indeed.

* an original answer;
** - translated from Bulgarian.



Now it is your turn 🙂
1. What is the next you want to hear about us and Bulgaria?
2. What you want the Bulgarians to know about you and your country?

(hint 1: it can be a theme or a concrete question)
(hint 2: every answer of those 2 questions will be awarded with a small price)



I decided to add an interesting fact about Germany and Bulgaria in the end of every diplomatic article. If you have an ideas - comment bellow.

There is a theory, that the Germanic and the Slavic tribes are heirs of one single nation.



I hope it was interesting for you. For me being an ambassador here is a privilege and a pleasure.

Sincerely yours,
Maggy
