Join the new world

I’m officially announcing that I’m running for Uachtarán na hÉireann. This might be the first time I’m doing this without being completely optimistic about it. We’ve been through some bad times, our population is declining, our unity is harmed and our firepower haven’t been this low for a long time. What makes me an enthusiast and what made me accept this task is the potential we’re still having. In a ruined and burned country it’s much easier to build a new and healthier one. I’d like to forget the last couple of months and focus only on the positive things we’ve experienced together through our rich history. During the next 30 days, or more, my goals will be the restore the Old Republic. Proud, united, active and smart eIreland that won’t have several different groups fighting each others. I believe that’s something huge majority of this country wants. All my Cabinet members has been instructed to avoid any fights and answer people of Ireland, its congressmen and our allies in a civil & constructive way as a Government members should act.



There are lots of things that needs to be fixed, most importantly the communication between the Government & our respected Congress. I’ve always been among the people that tried to get others involved by organizing summits or discussing everything with the Congress. I’m also not the kind of person that prefers making laws and legislation on everything, it makes us slower and it doesn’t do much good. It’s something that belongs to the v1 of the game when that kind of stuff actually mattered game wise. I didn’t like how that communication was set during the last two months and I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again. I’ll expect both Government and Congress to treat each others with the respect they deserve. We’re all here to represent such a small community that it would be utterly stupid to fight over every single thing.

One of the biggest challenges we’re going to have is making our impact on the battlefields high again. We’ve lost almost every strong ground fighter. Only a few has packs which are probably the most important thing in todays game when we’re talking about firepower abilities. We’ll need to find a solution that makes us competitive, my idea is to focus even more in air battles and improve our damage delivery and coordinated efforts. We can do that by organizing all of our active troops in air projects and highlighting the strikes as the main ‘reward’ target.

Our current gameplay as a country is set perfectly for countries with a several tanks that need TP medals and damage. I don’t think we have what’s required even to win those TWs. Our current TW limit is probably somewhere around one battle per day. Before doing anything I’ll surely try to get as many people as possible to fill the survey so we can know how much damage we can deal per day and what are the preferences of the average Irish soldier. Also, since we don’t have too many producers we should work on that segment of the game as well. As always, lowest taxes & biggest possible bonuses will be our main target. I’ll look into the options to get ourselves 100% food bonus again, it’s encouraging for our population and will surely make them build more companies. Some of those could be financed by the Government too. I’ve already started talks with our partners about those bonuses and concessions.




There are several things we need to discuss and work on. My main duty will be to find the best solutions based on the informations we have. Getting those informations will be the first thing we’re gonna do. I’ll ask every single Irish citizen to take part in a survey and answer some of the questions that will help me to propose things. Once we have those informations we’ll be able to create the proposal to the Congress and since there are not many things to discuss about when it comes to such things I expect no one to complain/refuse it really. For example, if we know our population mostly fight in air, then there’s no need for us to have many TW’s.

There are several key issues I’ll get myself into, hopefully with the support of our entire population.

---

1) MPP’s - Last few months Government’s advice was not to sign MPP’s, but that’s not something we should continue for a simple reasons. Not having MPP’s is good for big countries as its enables them cheaper Airstrikes and they fight in their own TP battles anyway. We won’t have many battles to fight in, we don’t require too many TP medals and since we’re mostly fighting in air it’s often hard to find a battle to fight in without having to move. Having 2 or 3 MPP’s should be the minimum we should get ourselves into. Those MPP’s shouldn’t affect the cost of our potential Airstrike a lot.

2) Northern Ireland - It seems like there was misunderstanding in our alliance. Or at least lack of communication. Hungary has opened a forced TW with UK and took Northern Ireland off eCroatia. Since eUK prefers to be wiped anyway, due to their internal PTO problems, our previous administration thought we’d “get” the Northern Ireland next, but it didn’t happened. Northern Ireland has always meant a lot for this country and it’s always going to be our goal, our national long term goal. It means more than just a region, it means reason to play for many of our citizens. Sadly there’s less and less of those, but I’m hoping we’ll rise in the numbers again. I’m not sure if its a doable thing within the 30 days, but after closing our TW’s I’ll look into getting us north part of our island again. Its time for the Old Republic.

3) TW’s - I’ve already mentioned this several times. Currently we’re involved in three TW’s. Two of those are a simple ping-pong TW’s which means that defender always wins. That’s the case with Albania and Finland. We always win the battle when they attack and they win it when we’re attacking back. Ping-pong TW’s are like having a half TW since it’s just one battle per day. With eJapan we’re having two battles a day since there are direct battles and RW’s we’re supposed to win. Having RW’s is good for our RH medals which is also something we should be looking into. My preference would be to have one ping-pong and one ‘real’ TW for the next 30 days, which means we’ll probably cancel at least one of the existing TWs. This is all subject to the discussions we’re going to have in the coming days.

4) Code - Our voice in Code has been non-existent late as not many took part. Our alliance is still focused on causing problems for Asteria everywhere. I’ll ask MoFA to write an article about what was going on in eWorld in the last several weeks as its always good to know what your friends are doing. Since we’ve been fairly busy fighting between each others it will be nice to focus on helping our alliance efforts once again. Some of the fights between our representatives and other didn’t help either, but that’s all behind us now. We’re going to make sure our alliance can count on our help as we know we can count on theirs.

5) Military strengths
We might not be strong in ground, which means we can’t contribute much in direct battles. We’re not the type of country that will get into a fight with others to spoil there plans. We can be there for a drain surely, but no one expects us to beat anyone 1 on 1. Maybe UK only, or countries of our size. However, we need to be aware that we possess some strengths compared to the others. We’re a perfect ‘blocker’ country and we can use our Airstrikes for strategic reasons in order to provide tactical help for our allies. Our other strength is also coordinated air strikes, that’s something we can really help our allies with and that’s why we’re still very useful to our friends.

6) National projects
I’d like to reconsider our main two projects that we’re funding. Currently we’re spending almost 100% of what we make per month. I’d like our Air Project to focus more on the coordinated strikes, while still being open to everyone. Irish Army is still being considered as our national army and we need to see how to make it more effective. Our damage delivery has been terrible lately and I’ll need more time to come up with a better solution. It’s surely something to discuss about. We surely need one strong and organized MU.

7) Immigration
Since we’ve lost a lot of active players lately, once we organize ourselves and once we have something to offer to the potential new members of our community we’ll start a large recruitment actions. Our goal will be to bring all the players that are looking for a new challenge and new friends.





In order to accomplish anything in this game you need to surround yourself with a good and quality people. Before presenting my new Cabinet I’d like to thank Slua for all the efforts and time he invested in this community. He’s been one of the most active players for a long time, he started some projects which helped to reborn this country when it was dead once already. I’m sure he’ll be back one day and when he is back I’d like him to know he was remembered for all the good things he did. When people are unhappy with something, mad at someone or affected by negative way of thinking sometimes they make bad decisions and their communication isn’t on the level it should be.

That’s all I’m gonna say about the past, it’s time to focus on the future now. I’m presenting you Team Ireland, people who are going to be side by side with me in the next 30 days. I’m counting on their help and hard work. If anyone else feels like he/she could contribute please give me a message, there’s gonna be plenty of things to work on.


As you can see there are open places for Ministry of Community, Ministry of Immigrations and deputies, if you have some free time and you’re willing to invest some time into work - don’t forget to message me.
