[VP] Information on Andes
King Trito Fisher
This is my first article as your Taoiseach this term. In it, my goal is to provide an objective view of eIreland's possible role in the Andes Alliance. This is part of the current government's goal of having a referendum in around a week that will determine whether or not the people of eIreland wish to join the Andes Alliance. I am going to list possible advantages and possible disadvantages of our joining Andes, and an equal number of each.
Being a member of an alliance allows us to increase our activity at home as well as on the geopolitical scale. We'll have increased communication with our allies and more in common for more fun.
2. More Passion
Being a member of Andes will allow us to play the game somewhat as it used to be, when alliances really, really mattered (before CO's). Brotherhood, friendship, fraternity, these are the values that will be promoted, should we accede. We will help our allies, and they will help us. One for all, and all for one!
3. Better Military Position
We are currently under an occupation by a member of Asteria, so it is exceedingly difficult to attempt a single-handed liberation, especially when it is apparently Asteria policy to keep us perma-wiped. Acceding to Andes gives us a stronger image in the eWorld, with our explicit allying with powers like Chile and Argentina. In addition, our help for them will be noticed, as it becomes more focused and powerful through alliance communications.
As an official member of an anti-Asteria alliance, we may become targets of future Asterian attacks. An example of such recent attacks is the occupation of Chile and Argentina by Poland, Serbia, and Macedonia. Although Chile and Argentina are strong countries, militarily, they had to work hard to liberate themselves.
2. Predominantly Spanish-Speaking Alliance
Although eIreland is home to people from a variety of RL countries, who speak a variety of languages, we have chosen to use English as the primary language of discourse as a matter of ease. Andes is an alliance, currently, of only South American countries, and naturally, they speak Spanish (Brazil is not a member). This may make communication difficult, although it is necessary to point out that all of the MoFA and primary country officials of those countries have an excellent proficiency in English.
3. More Work
Yes, this could be a disadvantage. eIreland only has around 50 active players, many of which are 2-clicking. It may be more difficult for those "in charge" to maintain eIreland's status as a member of Andes, when there are so few people willing to put in the time.
1) Military Alliance
2) Common foreign policy
3) Common historical and cultural background."
In addition, Yosemite tells the current administration, in preliminary talks, that the alliance HQ will decide whether they would accept our application in the following weeks.
Thank you,
VP Trito Fisher

Referendum Coming Soon 🙂
Doing Odin's work, Trito. Keep it up man.
vote
Good luck Ireland.
Godspeed!
God save the Quenn ! zaaaaaa XD
You are right that been a member of an anti asteria alliance is not really going to change our current near wipe position, we already are a target. Unless the MoFA team has any good news to impart on contacts with Peru I see little downside (just keep RtK away from the command messages/channels)
"eIreland becomes a Target"
It would deteriorate Ireland's still existing relations with the Pacifica, and Ireland may become a target for Pacifica countries too (for other Asterian countries it was already a target).
true but what is worse than a perma wipe?
V!
No doubt you will find passion here, as well as eggs and loyalty.
Ask Spain, MKD, LItuania,LOLAND and in a time... Serbia.
Can’t wait till we wipe Serbia!
No sleep till Belgrade!
If you promise to take Lithuania my vote is secure
we kick Lituania, and think 5 times
not sure if under yose as leader you can do many things...... he will say yes, join us! but not everything is rainbow color
Ok Trito you have my vote 😛
Great article! Thanks Trito!
Don't see how we can be worse off than at present, so thanks for this suggestion, which I support in principle.
Looool
If you go inside, the alliance name must be changed. It dont have sense ireland or any european country be part of an andine alliance. It sounds contranature
In this case other alliances need to change their name too..... What you name an alliance that is full of scumbags?
Assteria
I for one would take exception to our Spanish overlods installing Spanish as the new English
