[Appleby] Statement on US & IRE Campaigns

Day 3,367, 11:23 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by 10 Downing Street

Evenin' lads o7,

As part of our extensive non-existent manifesto commitments I’m pleased to announce some headway on what had become a rather abstruse campaign with the US and Ireland.

US

After a rather amiable chat with Derphoof and Yui ([22:48] ANGLOSPHERE IS GO, [22:48] IT'S TIME TO WAKEN THE SLEEPER AGENTS, [22:49] BUY NOW HAVE STRONG ERECTION), it became very obvious there was nought of real substance to prevent a normalisation of relations and a potential closing of the war.

There are now three obvious choices in my mind of how we can approach this:-

1 – Agree peace and simply close the campaign
2 – Continue the campaign as a controlled training war
3 – Reject peace and conduct a real campaign

Falling back to the lack of manifesto commitments I feel a referendum might be merited to properly explore and confirm our thoughts on this here in the eUK. I know there are a few of you in each camp, hopefully that can translate into a varied public debate on the matter before we put it to vote.

Ireland

[Update: The Irish CP has now confirmed they will indeed release the region back peacefully. It remains to be seen if their dictator allows this...)

To my surprise, these talks became even more obvious but for more entertaining reasons. Chiefly, the Irish CP Trito did not seem to speak for their Dictator, Sluagh.

The conversation meandered along, with the possibility of renting the region at a price parliament would name in the unlikely event they didn’t declare him to 'go forth and multiply'.

It was instead declared by Sluagh that he would dedicate his remaining capital value on defending NI from us treacherous British, because our available options were in fact:-

1. Northern Ireland is Irish, &
2. Northern Ireland will always be Irish.

As if this wasn’t entertaining enough, he announced in the unlikely event us perfidious Brits DID manage to steal it back – he would leave the game.

In my eyes we have been extremely gregarious, especially given the surprise nature of their invasion, in our respects to their arrangements with Bosnia (to have a region for Congress), and their continual TW with Albania (who we are now allies with).

We have, and for now will to continue, to negotiate in good faith. But if the Irish bargaining position is for us to simply accept their occupation of one of our game regions, based on a farcical abuse of real life nationalism, our diplomacy is exhausted.
