[CP] My last presidential address.

Day 2,082, 10:05 • Published in Canada Canada • by Pat Harper
Greetings Canada,
This will be the last address I will make to you as country president.



Well what a term it has been, I will be honest and say I didn’t expect to spend so much money, get regions or even think about an airstrike. Infact I thought it would be a washout term in waiting for the next CP.
Evidently it didn’t go like that.

I will give a full report of the term, explaining exactly EVERYTHING that happened, who helped, and what position we are in.



STARTING THE TERM
The term started off slowly, I worked solidly on improving relations with our allies and ASGARD. By fighting in their battles we were able to bring up a strong relationship which has been proven in our recent airstrike and resistance war.

I renewed all vital MPP’s and they stand ready for whoever is elected next.
Relations with Asgard were somewhat divided at the start of the term, after Oinyo desperately trying to get away from the alliance, however over the month the bond between our countries is firmly sealed and we have been planning campaigns, and co-ordinating much better.



BATTLE FOR CONGRESS
This was truly a great battle. I described it in my previous article as ‘Thermopylae’
We took on the full force of Spain and only lost it by a TINY margin (80-85).
It showed us eCanadians what we were capable of, Spain had to recruit mercenaries and receive help from Poland to win the battle. Remember folks that we are ranked 32 compared to Spain ranked 6th and Poland ranked 9th.
It was an awesome battle and a lot of fun; it earned respect points even from Spain for the fight we put up.



RELATIONS WITH SPAIN

I have had countless meetings with the Spanish CP, we actually get on quite well but it is of course the Spanish congress that has the loudest voice.
Mid-Term Spain gave me an offer to give us all regions except those they needed (all but 4) Of course I readily accepted. This offer then went to their congress where it was never to be seen again... I don’t know what I expected to be honest. After the successful RW’s I messaged their CP AGAIN for another meeting to discuss our situation. They confirmed that they fully planned on wiping us BUT that they would be more open to discussion next month because of our ‘good behaviour’. I’m not a naughty schoolboy, I’m a working man who plays a fecking internet browser game but whatever floats the boat I guess..
Let’s hope they DO come to terms because as it stands its beyond ridiculous.



SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE WARS

The pinnacle of my term as CP... Yes that’s right. REGIONS! For months we have been without them, our factories have been dying and MU’s suffering. After finally getting some regions we were able to replenish our factories.
These resistance wars freed up Nunavut + Northwest Territories. The battles we not just ‘won’ but dominated. They were started at a perfect time and we proved exactly what we could do.



AIRSTRIKE



This idea was agreed to by the majority of Canada. We had several targets for airstrike and I still do not regret choosing Lithuania because we could have certainly won if Spain hadn’t burnt and trashed Nunavut + Northwest Territories behind our back.
UNFORTUNATELY the game mechanics state that if the air striking nation loses all its regions during the airstrike, the airstrike is automatically lost.
We would have almost certainly won the airstrike had Spain not attacked us in NWT, It was a great battle and I had a lot of fun fighting in it.
Not only did we lead the airstrike battle, we were dominating it against the whole of TWO.


The amount of TWO nations that have us as CoTD..

I don’t have much else to say, it cost us a HUGE amount of money and resources I don’t want to even think about it, desperate times call for desperate measures. We chose Lithuania as a target to Airstrike to help out our Asgard brothers and to get us away from the Spanish menace. The plan has obviously failed, but it was a damned good fight and great fun. Was it worth 2 hours sleep? Hell yes.

I have total respect for Lithuania, it’s just sore that our efforts were put in vain.



We did however have a great donation from Lithuania themselves lolol \o/


A THANK YOU TO ALLIES AND FRIENDS

It’s been a fun term, I would like to thank EVERYONE that donated or fought for us, I simply cannot write names down because there are SO many. Every Canadian should be proud of themselves this month, not only has it shown us what we are capable of but it shows that we still have the hunger for freedom in our hearts, hell i’m not even Canadian!
Ireland has been great, other major countries, CoT, ASGARD brothers and even friends from enemy nations who have put in a commendable effort in to trying to free us from occupation.



PERSONAL PLANS

This term has drained me physically and financially, I’m not running for another term, it would be pointless. I will focus my attention towards my MU and help out Canada in whatever way I can. I need a rest, I just hope Spain will finally agree to a deal of some kind. Good luck to the next CP o7.
The last glimpse of success:

It's a game, no need for pathetic baiting.
