An Open Letter to Expatriated Americans (Living Abroad)
I know you had good reasons to leave. Tax burdens, politics, chaos, greener pastures... all that.
But earlier today this happene

Spring Hunt - First details
On Day 2,345 it’s time for a Spring Hunt! More details will follow later, but please read a few important points below.
Apart from the individual fun, the performance of Military Units’ members from the country of the Military Unit will play an important role.
If you want to contribute on the potential rewards your Military Unit members earn, your citizenship must match with the location of your Military Unit! For example, if you have a Swedish citizenship, but you’re in a German Military Unit, your effort won’t count. However you can still receive rewards won by the other members of your Military Unit.
If you wish to change your citizenship, you may do so until Day 2,344 23:55 eRepublik time. Changing the Military Unit after Day 2,341 8:00 eRepublik time won’t affect the Spring Hunt. If you weren’t a member of any Military Unit at that time, you will not be able to contribute to the Military Units part of the Spring Hunt. But worry not, there’s plenty to do for everyone!
So it's time to take the first flight out of whatever port you have been calling home.
Many of you still proudly belong to an eUS Based Military Unit. You are still patriotic to eUSA. You still pine away for glory days that seem to have faded into the grey horizon of yesterdays sundown. You want to come home.
But frankly Immigration has been a bit of a stickler lately*... and the work tax is still a bit high... and... well, you have your reasons for waiting.
I believe this is the day you have been waiting for.
Come home.
Support your Military Unit.
Run for Congress and change the laws you don't like.
Invigorate the eUS Economy.
Stand once again shoulder to shoulder with others bearing the standard of stars and stripes.
Come home.
*ie. doing their job
If you want to help your eUS-based Military Unit, and if you once held eUS Citizenship, and if you have never been linked to any PTO actions in eUSA, and if you will apply for eUS Citizenship...
I will use the weight of my office as President of the eUnited States of America to get you through IES (Click here for the application) and back on home soil.
It's been a long way to get here, but isn't it time? Shouldn't you come home?
And in other business:
You may now return to your regularly scheduled clicking

the door is a jar
Pretty sure it's actually just a door.
But can you prove it's a door and not a jar
You can put the lid back on that jar, the mayo is going bad.

Looking forward to future full engagement.
do not approve yunuscakir pls xdxd
Yep, we (EZC) already have 3 pending applications.
Voted!
Anyway it's quite strange this new condition to MU rewards.
If admins wanted citizenships and MUs to be linked, why, not so long ago, did they open MUs to player with any CS?
Good point.
They're making contests fun by adding barriers to entry 😃
As a Congressman, I stand ready to approve applications.
I was told you would approve my cs request. 😉
NO. I WANT TO DO IT
I, for one, would be thrilled to see you come home.
A 10% workers tax 😮
I would have left to...
Everyone who opposed it left. Who's going to vote to change it unless they will?
Better question: Who cares? If someone's not smart enough to leave, that's their problem.
4 days to fix the busted tax rate. Tick-Tock Congress, Tick-Tock
eUS current congress should change it because they would like to have everyone back.
Well, if congress actually had the option to change it that would be one thing, but they don't. THe old fags on the eUSA forums say whats what and they say high tax, so high tax it is.
You know damn well it will never change so why even say it. congress does what it is told, just like Hampton said. don't bullshit us Gnilraps. After the money that your administration has wasted on this war with Canada. You are nothing more than a puppet on a string. You do as you are told, whatever. I really thought you might have had a pair, but I guess not.
too*

voted
I would, but I have my commitments, and I stick by them.
Depending on the rewards, it's probably worth weathering this "super overburdensome" Work Tax for a week to claim the ones based on having matching CS and MU membership.
EB's will probably be included. Those are 5 gold each. You'd be foolish to pass that up.
Stars and Stripes Forever!
Fix the damn work tax rate. It's a bad lie perpetuated.
Better to just switch MU's, really.
you can't. MU membership already locked.
Well aren't I paying attention then.
10% work tax and Canada mops the floor with you in a NE battle without even passing a NE. Broken system is broken.
I will never return home, not until people like gnap's puppet masters are chased out of power.
Don't worry, no one misses you.
and this is why so many Americans fought for canada
When money runs politics ( or in this game's case nepotism, clones and favoritisms ) why bother?
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.
I don't think that's the poem on the Statue of Tyranny. Inappropriate for the eUS.
Nice article Boss!
✯✯✯ Feel the AMPS! ✯✯✯
If you really want us to come back, why would you reject the application of someone who has rendered the august and lengthy service of someone like Leather Neck?
Meanwhile, Gnilraps lets in a known Canadian troll and possible spai because they're friends.
Message received-- Americans, come home-- but only those with the politically correct connections.
Gnilraps doesn't control Immigration. That's Hawkie's Domain.
Who does Hawkie work for? In whose administration?
Hawkie work's at the discretion of Congress. It is a position appointed by Congress, outside of the control of the PotUS.
And Congress is not influenced by the POTUS? They pay no attention to a major policy initiative (bring Americans home for this one-week contest) launched by the chief executive?
I'm not really into politics like you are, Derphoof, but to me this doesn't pass the smell test.
Congress can be influenced by the PotUS, but the IES Director generally is not. Generally the PotUS stays far away from immigration, as it's a congressional function. The IES directory independently screens applicants for approval based on their background. Congress doesn't really tell him who to approve either.
He's supposed to act as an independent official who congress trusts to screen applicants and approve them before in-game acceptance, making sure all accepted foreigners are safe.
If you're application was denied, you may want to PM Hawkie and ask for an explanation.
My application was not denied. That of Leather Neck, an American hero, was denied.
But Americans attempting to return in response to Gnilraps' plea should know that the process is far from automatic. If the IES denies Leather Neck, don't think for a second that just because you were American in the past means you'll be welcomed back. Better to stay in Croatia or wherever. The contest Gnilraps is promoting is only a week long, and you are by no means assured of US cz.
This could be viewed as part of Gnilraps' intention to create one super US MU under the absolute control of the POTUS. Whether the POTUS that month happens to be competent, worthless, or even a PTO candidate.
It's all good Jon, I knew as soon as I left that the boy scout molester and his ilk would pounce to exclude. That is all the eUS government knows how to do...y'know, besides attack smaller countries to make their e-peen bigger. America look to your government to see the real traitors.
Especially have to love the crying and moaning over the fact that the eUS cannot retain people, when the alienation and corruption that they spew is the reason. Other countries respect their citizenry, something the eUS has never done...that is, unless you suck from the restof Pfeiffer.
Have fun declining America. Always remember, you asked for it.
Cheers.
