[eUSA MoFA] - Celebrate endings - for they precede new beginnings.

First, I want to apologize for the lack of communication that has come out of this office for the past 1.5 months. There are no excuses for not communicating with our eCitizens on what is going on with eUSA's Foreign Affairs. My goal is to ensure everyone is aware of the direction the country is headed towards. I will own this.
Second, I want to thank each and every Citizen and Country who has fought for us during this incredibly orchestrated and planned war to land in our Cores by Croatia, Thailand, Egypt, Ireland, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Lithuania and later Hungary.
I want to congratulate them on a successful war campaign and thank them for bringing real war into this game again. While the past month has been very stressful for me, it has been the most fun I have had on a browser game.
For those who do not know who I am, this is my second term in the executive, serving first under Gnilraps, and then Wdib2. Before being part of this team, I had some experience in the legislative branch. This is my 6th term in Congress. I have been part of Easy Company, and have been promoted to 2nd Officer, after successfully (with the help of others) creating a very active environment as Captain for the 11th Regiment, also known as EZC Airborne.
My goal during my first term was to take the torch from Wild Owl and to clean up our image abroad. Gnilraps felt that new blood was needed to give the eUSA a fresh start in Foreign Affairs. So I started learning the ropes, reached out to about half the countries in eRep, introduced myself (and our cabinet) and started going to work.
I do not know if you will remember that far back (as it seems so long ago) but we lacked MPP's and places to fight. Our allies were not deploying us in their battles and there were confusing training wars where MPP battles needed to be lost. It was a struggle to find places to fight.
March 2018
We brokered a Peace treaty with the eUnited Kingdom. We reached an agreement with Japan on Hokkaido to have a True Patriot RW open. We worked with our allies to understand where to fight, and we brokered specific time frames of availability to fight in their TW's. We worked with eNetherlands and eFrance to gain MPP's and we had a Fun war with eIreland the weekend of St Patty's Day for the region of Cork that lasted until the War against PACIFICA broke out.
I felt I was making major strides in our efforts to continue to build strong relationships with countries that we no longer had MPP's with, that is until the war.
April 2018
I sent out communications to every country in the eWorld and I have an open dialogue with many of them. One thing I learned quickly is that history is not forgiven or forgotten and MPP's are hard to come by when Anti Asteria and Pro Asteria countries attack you. Countries do not want to lose important MPP's with the big boys, so basically my attempts were futile to try and collect additional allies along the way.
We were able to MPP Republic of Moldova this month. We were able to remove Thailand, as well as negotiate with Ireland the release of our Core Regions, which we are currently still in the process of doing.
Next Steps
We are working on a plan as well to negotiate with multiple countries to work on what to do next. We currently are being occupied by 5 of the top 10 countries in damage (4 of them being hostile). We are going to have to work in phases and be patient in our tactics. This will not be easy, but typically things that are worth fighting for are not.
My door is open to all citizens, if you leave a comment, I will respond, if you send me a PM, I will respond. I have been working my ass off to try and make eUSA a better place over the last 1.5 months behind close doors but I failed you with communication.
I want to be transparent. Everyone can blame and point fingers and say this is all Wild Owl's fault. That is the easy way out. I am not going to do that. Wild Owl is not in charge. He is not even a part of the executive this term. This happened during my term, and I will own up to this. Its time to move forward and fix a broken eUSA. Will you help me do it?
Thank you,
Carlos3652

And your view of the current state of Pacifica?
Current View - We are not the best Alliance when it comes to damage or planning in the eWorld. We need to work and strive to become best in class.
That is not the only problem with the Pacifica but that's none of my business 🙂 Also this is hardly your fault since it is the consequences of some failed diplomatic policies. Sorry for the intrusion 🙂
@J211 - I am not the type of person that points out the problem, blames someone else. That’s easy. Everyone can see things are broken. Everyone can complain and point fingers. What I try to do is understand the problem and bring solutions to the equation.
Every event that got us to this point, was needed, so that decisions could be made to move forward.
cool....
Good work Carlos. I believe in you.
What Pfeiffer achieved was a loooooooooooooong ocupation of US.
You are not going to get your territories back soon.
In fact, I think America as one unique non occupied country is over. Maybe for ever. As long as Asteria has interest in the present situation, your country will not exist.
A giant diplomat effort might get some territories back, having TWs with some occupiers and giving away the best land as a result.
Rarely I have seen a so stupid move with so dramatic consequences like airstrike Croatia for the "lulz"
Pfeiffer, you are a retarded.
Neah, Pfeiffer is silly - you are retarded
Thank you, Carlos. This may have happened on your watch, but you clearly did not create the situation. It is good to see your accomplishments listed. People are often only aware of foreign affairs work when it goes awry.
nice article, bro.
pls. repet it from time to time 😃
Nice article, no arrogance at all. o7
More communication with citizens is indeed needed. Especially with the new ones. There is an interesting life possible under occupation. The eUSA is that large so it will be very difficult to have it with no congress. Some oldies (maybe because they do that themselves) say there are no real new players, but just multies. There are new players and to focus on that is the best. The history of eUSA will not be forgotten, it was stable arrogance for years.
I hope that can change.
I appreciate the work you have put into FA.
We have been drifting aimlessly for far to long.
Hopefully you and your FA crew can get us back on course.
But sadly once again the citizens are left out of the loop.
That is because of years of arrogance by those in position of power torwards the people.
Right now, I see this article as damage control by the dying gasps of power that is now bleeding away.
But then again you reap what you sow.
This is not an attempt for damage control. This is an attempt to show that things are changing. Things will not be able to be sorted overnight. In speaking to leaders of the world, transgressions that are 5,7,9 years old are still remembered and not forgiven. I have to earn trust, and that takes awhile. I don’t want to become a puppet, but I also don’t want sit here and state we don’t need help. We do. Changes are coming
Carlos, as much as I value your work, you will not be MoFA enough time to make the diference. in a few months the old crew will be back.
Caio, if the old crew is back, then I didn’t do my job and failed. If people want change and I deliver something different, than those same people can vote to make the difference to ensure people in power do the right thing. I have faith.

Good read.
Votado
If you manage to save USA from the crimes of your predecessors, you should be remembered as an American hero.
But as someone above said... if the old management comes back, your effort might be lost. Which would be a shame for USA and many of Its current or potential future allies.
You will solve it Carlos. Never have a doubt.
eUSA spirit has been the same than RL: to brings its sense of "freedom" to other countries by conquering them one way or another, generally by force.
It would be a huge endeavor of yours to change that spirit, but you should inhabit the country with foreign players for that change.
Wish you the best, Carlos, you are a very kind and honest person.
Lol .. what are you talking about? You are way off, but you always talk that way Cloro
Why do you defend wild owl if he is not pulling the strings.
Trust me , the bigger is the mistake if you hide behind the mask and still want to continue the same politics, better do it openly , its better morally .
Basically you can continue the same , your next steps reflect nothing.
I don't "defend" Wild Owl. I am just not going to point fingers at him. We got here. Great. How do we fix it.
Yeah fence sitting screws you over when both sides attack you.
Do you really know where is Moldovia on a map?
Between Ukraine and Romania?
This article is more on our Foreign Affairs that has been published in a very, very long time. I am looking forward to reading about how our new FA is working out.
Great work....
I really, really admire your courage and guts to take blame for everything, but what recently happened has absolutely no connection with you whatsoever. I didn't even know you existed until you contacted me last month.
It is noble indeed, to take the blame for what happened in your month of service, but this has been building up for years and years of bad diplomacy, orchestrated and led by no one else but Wild Owl himself.
Where is he now, btw?
Anyway, good read, voted and endorsed.

Carlooos! o/
Yeah, don't point fingers at WO - he was lied by the greeks and cryatians - point just 1 finger at him!
Never go full retard... and you just did.
I took that after u
I am excited to see what comes out of this. If the eUSA community can hold together, this could be the revitalisation that the nation needs. It was stagnating but now it has purpose.
>We brokered a Peace treaty with the eUnited Kingdom.
Excuse me, what? This is the first I, the UK gov, or the UK population is hearing of a peace treaty.

https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/United-Kingdom/203893
Maybe I should have worded it differently? UK and US accepted the peace proposal?
That peace proposal came after the Croatian AS on the UK. Gnil was much more reliable than Fifer, but, ultimately, there was no real peace - you just gave up your regions as Croatia were coming.
Like I said, UK and US accepted peace. We could have stayed. We didn’t. Gnil is very reliable. He set the bar. We will continue striving for that.
