Empire Building

"Empires are countries that dominate the New World through their extreme military power and vast territories. A state that reaches 4000 Country Power will be automatically declared an Empire.

Country Power indicates how powerful a country is, depending on her military power and it’s controlled regions

Military Power - The offensive capability of all the active soldiers enrolled in Military Units, based on their military stats.

Controlled Regions - The number of regions owned. Regions conquered from countries with high Military Power give more points."

My question to all, can the eUK one-day be an empire? And what will it take? At the moment ePoland is the only nation in eRepuplik to have this honor in fact looking at their statistics they are twice an empire, with eHungary and eArgentina as the next potential empires.

Let’s take a closer look and compare. Countries with an abundance of citizens are eArgentina 12,647, eSerbia 10, 345, eSpain 9777 and ePoland 8362. If we now compare their CP or “Country Power” we get ePoland 9770, eArgentina 3407, eSerbia 3171 and eSpain 1875.

What I found interesting is that eHungary and eGreece, who have a relatively average citizenship 4338 and 3816 respectively, have each a somewhat high CP at 3478 and 3418 respectively. So, if I were to guess, I’d say that the amount of citizens is not necessarily the all essential for a nation to achieve empire status.

The eUK at the moment stands at 1620 citizens and a CP of 699. The question therefore is how to reach the perfect balance for a nation like the eUK to obtain imperial power? In my humble opinion bombarding the nation with new citizens might be one way, but by far not the most efficient way.

We need to start from the ground with what we have and move up. Therefore, prior to conquering nations the eUK needs it’s government in conjunction with it’s military units to work together for the common good. Find a remedy that will make our military units efficient as a whole; a partnership for lack of a better word, instead of individual glory.

So, I pose the question once again, what will our government along with the MU’s do to make our soldiers a much more qualified fighting machine? Let’s give the eUK the status it so steadfastly deserves, nothing less will suffice.
