[MoFA] Nation's future
Don Croata
Hello Ireland,
this is probably the most important MoFA article of the last two months and I’d really love whole Ireland to join the debate and discussion about these things. As you could see Admins has decided to add another change. You can find more about it HERE:
The main things considering eIreland are that our country is put under risk of getting PTO’d by some stronger Military Units. That’s the reason we need to think and find a way to protect ourselves. I’ve already proposed a new Ministry addition to our President. It would be the Ministry of Security. We would need to be careful about who are we letting in our country, we would have to watch over who controls our MU’s and we would need to take care of ourselves, find ourselves an allies who are willing to come over here and join us in the fight for our democracy, free speech and everything else we’ve had here so far. No matter how different our parties and groups are, all of us had eIreland in heart. Some foreign MU’s and groups wouldn’t be so gentle to us. We need to act as one and use all our skills and active people to make our country better and stronger.
There are several certain things we need to take care of:
-Finding ourselves an alliance
-Organising ourselves internally
-Have a baby boom
AN ALLIANCE QUESTION
As always, for a country of our size, deciding about alliances is very important, we can call it a crucial question. So far in our history, we’ve always been making a good choices long termly and I do hope we can make a good call again. We’ve been in EDEN, we’ve been in Aurora, two real alliances which got us many friends. We’re still in good relations with most of the countries of eWorld and we’re in great relations with all our neighbours and countries close to us. This is hard to accomplish, but we did it. No matter how many times the countries changed the alliances we’ve always kept the same friends.
Several days ago I’ve asked congress for an opinion about Ireland joining Pacifica.
Pacifica is an alliance made of Taiwan, USA, Finland, Russia and Latvia. Countries such as America, Mother Russia and Finland has always been our friends. USA is a regional friend we share a huge history with, Russians has always been there for us, I remember when we were conquering London how many Russian moved here and fought for us and we haven’t even asked them for help. Finland voted Yes on our application to join Asgard two years ago. Taiwan and Latvia are more or less uknown to eIreland, but I’m sure we’d become friends very soon.
As you can see it’s the alliance made of friends. What makes this alliance strong is being somewhat neutral in eWorld bipolar system. Neutral, but safe. They are in great position since they have some allies on both sides, Russia is pretty much proAurora, while USA is proAsteria. Finland is proAsgard and Latvia and RoC has their own friends too. Pacifica is highly organised alliance as we could see in the recent even of resources gathering. Most of them won lots of bonuses and had organised themselves. Even the smaller Pacifica members are being safe on the map. It means they do care for each other.
Pacifica is also kinda regional alliance for us, we have border with USA, Finland is just few regions away, Russia isn’t that far too, same as Latvia, the only far away country is Republic of China (Taiwan). We could make some deal with United Kingdom to give us a pass to Scandinavia and help our allies if needed, of course if UK would share the same enemies with us in future. Anyway, my point is, another advantage of Pacifica except being highly organised and in a good diplomatical position is being a regional alliance for us. Another thing which makes Pacifica a desirable alliance for us is them being a small one. Small alliance, but still strong and cooperative with others are the future of this game, we could rely on Pacifica, we could give our opinion about where’s the alliance going.
In Pacifica we could keep our old allies close, we could be like Russia, they kept their allies near, they still have many friends in exAurora and exSirius countries. This makes Pacifica a desireable solution for our country. In case of us being attacked by some crazy MU, we would have the alliance’s protection. In the same time we would be able to keep our good relations with the countries we've spent most of the time in this game with.
At this moment, there’s no other alliances nor I see an alliance coming soon. At least not one which is made of our friends, we could shift for 100% on the other side, but I doubt anyone in eIreland would actually agree on it. I don’t see an alliance made of exAurora and exSirius countries coming soon, even if it does come, I doubt eIreland would be offered a place from the start and I simply hate to let us end up in some small proAlliance made of the countries we’ve never had any relations with. Our size and our damage aren't so "important". Similar thing happened when we wanted to join Sirius and we didn’t had invitation to join the main, core countries. Something like this would probably happen again, because most of the countries nowadays see alliances aren’t for smaller countries. We’d have to found one again like we did with Aurora, but Aurora won’t happen again neither. So, it’s not an option for us I’m afraid.
Having no real alternative, Pacifica is something we need to think about and make an informative, good decision.

Plan B. Install Don Croata as permanent dictator. Beat the the enemy to the punch.
"Similar thing happened when we wanted to join Sirius and we didn’t had invitation to join the main, core countries."
Well yeah, that happens for everyone. Small countries have generally poor leaders and should not candidate or appoint SG/MC. We all know how that went for EDEN.
Ireland is small by damage, but any Irish representative from the last 3-4 years has been a serious guy, we've always been contributing to the alliances and actually acted like a big countries there.
It didn't went well for Sirius, it went well for Aurora to have us. Remember the glorious start? 😛
I thought Aurora was pretty poor really. While small countries can present good representatives, their small player base makes it more likely to put more moronic players into positions of influence they shouldnt have. It's about minimizing risk.
Aurora became poor after the summer, before the summer it was probably the most organised alliance in the World.
I've been involved in many and I can say this for sure.
Large countries are hardly exempt from having poor leaders. The pool of talent might be smaller in less populated countries, but there are often special challenges or features of smaller countries that will attract the most innovative and creative players in the game. Anyone can bulldoze around with a big country, but it takes true talent to make things happen with a surgical knife of a country like eIreland.
NL has had 2 players in the past 2-3 years able to run a significant position in an alliance. I have no doubt Ireland might have a few as well.
I haven't seen any truly talented moves from Ireland, by the way. I might not have paid enough attention, and it isn't intended as an insult. I just don't recall it.
You need to pay attention lad! 🙂
I couldn't blame you for not seeing any talented moves coming from Ireland when we have a bunch of morons who just complain and when in government haven't the slightest clue where to start. You may hazard a guess which group I'm talking about.
@Garmr
Real talent isn't looking to get noticed 😉
I say Go Pacifica!
- Questions to be aske😛
1) Can we get anything eIrish related on the Alliance's logo?
2) Is the name up for a revision/change?
3) If we want in, will they want us in too?
4) Any other countries thinking about joining too?
5) Imagine we're in. How will our decision inside the aliance weigh on comparison to the other 5 countries? We'll it be a 100/6 decison or bigger countries will have more say on group's decision?
1) Doubt that.
2) No.
3) Yep.
4) Nope as far as I know.
5) Decisions are made which suits the alliance as a whole, there's often only one good decision in the alliance which actually suits the alliance, I can't see too many hot discussions in the alliance of this kind.
4) Maybe
5) Yep, you would have 1/6 of the power, but not veto power.
There are founding members and non founding members.
Good luck.
HELL YEA!! get on in here i love you irish guys lol!
I fucking love Ireland, seriously guys, I'm leaving my country today, get my cs accepted please.

Welcome our Irish friends!
Pacifica=Asteria
I have read the Dictator and Revolution changes. They don't make me happy. It seems like they allow an awful lot of disruption in a country and act as another way for Plato to get people to use more real money (roughly 1000 gold to start a coup and 1000 more to start a revolution to overthrow the coup) 🙁
They are organized quite well..and the fact that they are our neighbors...I think Pacifica is a good choice for us.
Sounds good if we are not secondary members.
Pacifica seems to be only decent option available to us at this time and I have no qualms of entering an alliance with the countries involved.
2 ministers at once. wouldnt that make you a dictator? i for one have no plans to work together with you guys in this what you shall sow so shall ye reap.
*yawn
