(Archived) World War, eIreland, The IRP and a Severin Appeal

Severin Organization
Twas a while (well a few days) since I wrote an article to the public and they are a few things I would like to address: eIreland's current situation and the world war, Irish Radical Party progress and I want to make my own aspirations here very clear. I will try to keep this brief...
First off, I would like to thank some in the current administration (you know who you are). While I may not agree with some of things put forward at the very least, some effort is being made to rectify our current dire situation (hopefully we'll see more public announcements). That said, I don't withdraw anything I previously wrote and I am still very skeptical of the activity of some in government.
We need to band together as a nation and quite frankly it is worrying watching people lose hope or simply dropping out. In these dark times you should be asking what you can do as a citizen for eIreland and we should be working together. Washington has fallen however the eUS has many, many more regions and their population is booming (cite the Hungarian win over Romania). It would be irrational to declare PEACE will win at this very early stage and even more irrational for us to consider joining them.
Dark Times
As many of you know eIreland is bang in the middle of a raging world war. Despite guarantees on our neutrality we are in a very vulnerable position. Basically, both sides are trying to pull us in (cite Cork and Kerry strategic location and potential war games with the eUK). I cannot help but notice Pro PEACE articles creeping into our media (particularly that shameless article by eUK President Hassan Pesaran). As an eIrish citizen I think it is the country's best interests we remain neutral for now and I will never support us bowing to the whims of some imperialist (despite their absurd claims not to be) underhanded global alliance. The former Atlantis have used many underhanded tactics in the past however in my humble opinion PEACE are by no means any better (and they would not think twice about stepping over us for their own gain despite any assertions on our neutrality). Quite frankly I denounce the eUK's ascension onto the PEACE boat (a dishonorable and self vested move) and I assume (or hope) there are many citizens there who feel the same.
Let us not forget our eUS friends who are now in peril. The eUS do not have a squeaky clean history (cite the Atlantis era) but in recent times they have fought for sovereign nations abroad and are by no means the current oppressors. Also, let us not forget all which they have done for us. They ensured and payed for war games we greatly benefited from. Infact, they also contributed to the building of a hospital here (just in the interest of fair play). They always held on us in high regard, respected our ideals and it is a shame our relationship with them is not as high as it once was. Furthermore, let us also not forget eCanada who simply put, are the victim in this rage against the eUS (wrong place, wrong time). They like us, are a nation who's sovereignty is under threat with the exception they are currently being invaded. I am by no means advocating we join them in war (as I mentioned above neutrality is best for now). I just would like citizens here to think twice before joining the PEACE are winning (it's very early yet) let's just join them and have war again band wagon (however small). It would be a cowardly, ill advised self vested move. I do however commend eIrish citizens who have decided to fight for eCanada abroad (I know two of my fellow party members have). We a freedom loving country and protecting the sovereignty of nations abroad in is a noble cause.

All that said I cannot emphasis enough the importance of us remaining neutral.The eUS sent us a request this morning asking for temporary control of Cork and Kerry in return for military protection I voted against the proposal. This is simply too much to ask of us at this moment in time and I hope they understand that. It would put our security in grave danger. Have no doubts that if we join either side in this world war we will become little more than a bridge and our country would be left in tatters.

We are a modest country. We have a relatively small active population, average resources and we do not have the most developed defensive structures. However, we have dedicated soldiers who would sacrifice all they have for this fair Isle, citizens proud to forever hold our flag in esteem and a charm that is unique in this eWorld. Quite frankly I have always been proud to call myself a citizen of eIreland and I do not wish to see many of the ideals this country holds dear lost, in the interest of instant gain. In these dark days we should be a paragon of hope for countries who have fallen under imperialism and those who are now war torn.

We are an independent nation, we have fended off political take overs in past, we have very capable spies and we know who is eIrish and who isn't (we aren't stupid), we should continue to flood the media with our culture and tradition, we will never leave this Island and we welcome all dislocated citizens of the eWorld and victims of war. This war is in the interest of futile political gain and is not in the interest of the wider audience (who get all the clicking fun). In short, we should always hold our own. When all the world is sick of war, we shall still be Irish.
Back to the Irish Radical Party
The party has grown a lot these last few days and we are now fourth largest party in eIreland (a huge leap since our foundation last week). In short, we are crusading into eIrish politics and it is great to see this many citizens have joined the revolution at this early stage. We now have a forum which can be found here and I encourage all members to join it (17 have already and it is really easy to join). It is an entirely public forum so feel free to have a look around (like I promised before, the IRP will be completely transparent). Furthermore, I have started up a party wiki page which can be found here. I will add more to it soon and of course it is a work in progress. Quite frankly I am delighted by the progress the party has made and I thank all who are giving us their support. We aim to foster real change in eIreland and will continue to work hard to achieve this goal. If you interested in joining, please feel free to do so here.
My Personal Aspirations
As I don't like to keep anything from the public I will make my goals for the next month very clear (granted brief, expect them outlined in more detail in future articles). I plan to run for President in August under the Irish Radical Party banner (a very early announcement I know). I have a multitude of experienced people behind me and quite frankly having been Vice President for three months I know exactly what the job entails. I do this solely in the interests of improving this country and if elected, I will completely devote myself to the role (I assure you I have an abundance of time this month and next). I am running with a small party however expect a very elaborate campaign. In these dark times I feel we need strong leadership, absolute accountability and a back breaking talented administration. The job of the President is not something to be taken lightly (not if you want good results) and it is a tough and sometimes limiting role, one which requires constant communication with the cabinet, Congress other nations and most importantly, you the public. I always felt it was an honorable service to the eIrish people and next month I humbly offer myself for the role.

Almost every month they are delays and difficulties in mobilizing government and election time/post administrations are constantly clouded by futile rivalries (I wouldn't even call them political debates). I have admittedly fought fire with fire in past and I do make my opinions very clear. That said I have no quarrels with any citizen or any party here (I'm actually very friendly once you get to know me and in pms). Infact, since becoming a Party President months ago I have always tried to cooperate with other parties and I have wrote numerous articles outlining the importance of unity and cooperation. If elected I have no problem in admitting I'll be a tyrant. I will be down the administration's back every day (getting rid of 'dead weight') and I will constantly addressing the eIrish nation with progress (I always wanted to bring politics closer to the people). When I look through eIreland's roster I do not see political allegiances (afterall there isn't a real significant ideological difference between most parties here anyway) instead I see many talented politicians and it is shame so much talent goes to waste every month in the interest of political allies.
I have yet to mention the issues (way too early for that) however I aim to improve our defense (both from an infrastructural point of view and organizational one), our economy (we need radical innovations here), our society (through drawing in more citizens and maximizing entertainment), our government (maximizing efficiency and transparency) and most importantly our foreign relations (ensuring our continuing survival here while engaging with friendly nations). In time, everything will be outlined in detail. You are only as good as the people behind you and many things are easier said than done. The most fundamental thing I promise is action and if elected I will deliver on that promise. If you want to know what I have done in eIreland thus far (my cv if you will) check out my wiki page here.

PEACE IN THE WORLD(AND HOPEFULLY SOON IRELAND TOO)! O/
Definitely an awesome article Severin. I agree with most of your major points and I wish you good luck in the presidential elections. There was a lot of time put into this. Not like any of Stark's articles
great article, great points.
Manni u gone anti irish now?
No, I just dislike the irish who angst against PEAC
Excellent article. Voted. I'm glad to see someone else who recognises that the USA are not the agressors in this conflict.
Sev, Its good to see you running for President in August and its time for no walk overs next CP Election. Long live ISRP ! 😛
And good article by the way
Stop shouting Manni, have you lost your squirrelly little mind altogether?
Yeah, we can see you, all over the place, here and in Canada, but you seem to be repeating yourself a lot.
Go home to the communes, brah, nothing for you here.
Hope they bribed you with a real big job, and a premium edition of google translate, as there's not many friends left for you now, poor little man. A lost rodent, in a big boys game.
Traitors and spies are SO last season.*sighs*
I share your concerns about the Neutrality agreement and the FA team is working on a legally binding contract so that we have something concrete.
We will be remaining neutral, I think there is no question of that Sev but at the same time we must keep good relations with both the USA and the UK so it is certainly a difficult situation but, rest assured we are doing everything we can.
Great article too by the way. 😉
Beautifully written.
LONG LIVE IRELAND!!!
A fine article as ever, Sev. I'll admit I'm a little out of touch, having been away a lot over the last few weeks, but I'm jumping right back in as of now, and your article has given me a good starting point, so my thanks for that.
Great article. Neutrality looks like the smarter choice for eireland's survival.
"When all the world is sick of war, we shall still be Irish."
Great article Sev and good luck to you. I am sure you will follow through.
Nice article Severin,come on IRP!!!!
Well written Severin,
@Manni “PEACE Mee ASS”.....It should be renamed "PIECE".....A little piece of this country and a little piece of that....how "SAD" a day it is when a SOCIALIST evangelist.....becomes an IMPERILISTIC monster......go on and play with your PEACE friends, for you are no longer a PATRIOT of E-Ireland.
Great, severin, great. I think we need to think of are eUSA allies but also take in account our position.
By defending the USA we will be in the firing line.
The future is bright with you aspiring so high, Severin. The New World is in turmoil, whole societies are being ripped out roots-and-all, but in this, as valiant Irish, we will bloom.
Great article Sev. You've got another new citizen on board and entertained here.
Do you really think Peace is an answer? We have to be strong and Win our peaceful coexistence with other nations. We cannot stay neutral as it is a way of weakness, a way of myopic policy that will get us to the point where other nations, stronger and more ruthless, may be our masters and we their servants... How is that possible that the independent and RESPECTED state such as ours is asked to give up its independence and hand over some territories, even temporarily??? If I remember Hitler did the very same thing with Poland in 1939!
Sev good article BUT I think that eIreland should do what the swiss do apply a law saying that all male or female members of fair strength should be forced to join the army for at least 1 month the swiss military can be assembled in nearly an hour so why CANT WE!!!!!!
@Private MM of the niners. Your Chief of Staff invites you to her office. NOW. Bring your watch solider, you obviously need help with time-tracking-reality.
@Private Marcus Scevola,(unenlisted) thats the first time I've heard your accent in the Irish domain, I think. And I listen a lot, so its very interesting to hear your opinion now. Unfortunately, it is a little ill-informed.
So you may stand behind MM, and beg an audience too. If military and political education is your aim, you could begin by joining your national army, and learning to manage your health.
Like I said, I have HOT SOLDIERS, but ye ain't them. YET.
I look forward to your contribution men, my door is wide open.

Manni: You'd think that after the number of times PEACE screwed us (meaning you and I) that you would understand exactly why we wont be joining them.
*tips the hat to Vilien*
i'll be glad to vote and follow severin on his road to presidency which i believe he will no doubt achieve
Yaaayy. Go IRP! We rock, lads. Be like Bryan O.

and see for yourselves 😃
Severin had me hooked since his first IRP article.
This one only serves to confirm that I made the right decision joining the IRP.
great article Severin. Voted. I don't know what else to say so there.
Could we have shorter articles which are directly to the point ? I ask because it takes a hell of a lot of time to read though all this stuff so keeping to the main points would greatly help us to absorb all this info. As it is I just read the first paragraph and then moved on. Sorry to admit that but, as the old adage goes, time is off the essence.
Cheers...
Good luck! I hope no side get too mad at you 😉
Booo!
We should ally with the eUS and defend them if we value our own sovereignty. "Neutrality" in a world war is a way of saying "countries who will get conquered later, after the big dogs are out of the way". We can throw our support behind the eUS now or we can fail to do so and fall shortly after they do. At least the eUS has helped us and respected us and it's better to lend support to a known quantity than to wait for an unknown enemy to come knocking.
It's foolish to rely on the eUS to hold all our enemies at bay forever without any help from us.
Fantastic article Severin.

@Jotabel and Slamz
Nice to hear a foreign opinion, and that of a newborn Irishman. We need to keep our perspective, and we welcome fresh views. But gentlemen, our positions and national pride did not just float up the Liffey in a bubble, they are the result of many, many terms of military, diplomatic, and commercial ties with outside nations.
I can assure you that I have strong ties with my counterparts in the US and in PEACE. They are not surprised at all at our national stance. We have been consistent throughout, and we have NO FEAR. They expect no less from us. In the event that ANY aggressor takes our nation, they will feel our full, and mighty wrath. No-one needs that right now, we are all far too busy.
I hope that both of you will take this opportunity to learn more about our nation and it's people. We are a small and tight-knit community, but like all nations, we wish to grow. We value newcomers, if they are true Irish Patriots. We make them welcome, and integrate them into all aspects of our life here. I look forward to learning more about you both.
@coinreturn - you are a shining example of what we need here.
