A different option.
Random Irish Guy
Alright so , I am taking a break from my Common Sense articles for now to test public opinion on another matter - colonialism. Yes , colonialism , that big,bad word that haunts Irish politics mainly due to what the British do over here but I have noticed something , I will have a look at 3 countries in particular and will give my opinion, so please stay tuned.
(i) Hungary
Hungary on the 20th of March 2012 had several provinces occupied by Romania, but began a fight back and expelled all occupiers and gradually went on the offensive before reaching its maximum extent today , which is , in my opinion, quite a turnaround.
(ii)Croatia
Croatia on the 30th of May 2012 was occupied by Serbia totally with control over Burgenland in what is now part of Austria, but Croatia today rules over its homeland with some former Serbian territory as well as some extra territory in India, totally changing its fortunes and making it an influential power.
(iii)Turkey
Turkey on July 19th 2012 had some provinces controlled by Bulgaria and spent some time fighting the invasion and was at some stage attacked by Serbia before eventually freeing itself and today controls additional territories thus giving the country access to new resources.
My Suggestion?
I strongly believe that it should be a national priority to achieve a United Ireland and once that is achieved we should look to possibly expanding elsewhere , because look at our resources , A united Ireland and any possible extra provinces could include the following.
Iron- Dublin,Wexford
Fruits- Shannon,Louth
Grain-Jeju
Fish-Northern Ireland
Cattle-Cork,Mayo
Deer-Eastern Cape
Saltpeter-Norte Grande
Aluminium-Western Cape
Oil-Westlandet
Rubber-Sarawak
I know this article may draw some hostility , but maybe this will create some healthy debates/discussions which are always interesting.
Please V+S and stay tuned for Common Sense Part III

Resource bonuses must be connected through borders to the capital of a nation to have effect.
So most of those resources would require mass territory expansion, even occupation of our friends' regions.
That is far beyond our current military capability.
And occupying longtime friends for resources is beyond most Irish players' appetite.
The cattle in Cork is something we are working on right now.
Fish in NI is something we've had in the past with diplomatic exchange with Britain, this could possibly be achieved before the end of the year, if things are handled really well.
But I vote this article because I like your moxy
And I vote this comment because I like the word moxy 😛
I still insist on nothing less then unconditional British withdrawal from this island whether foreign expansion is possible or not.
Then you're inviting an unconditional Spanish occupation.
what work for Cork Sweet?
Even spanish MoFA said they never had intention to invade ireland..wich means you lied Sweet and you robbed this country for one region..
lol you think the Spanish would openly admit it? learn2diplomacy Kurgan
Well i can either trust spanish or Sweet who as CP support open traitors from his own kunts cabal.....
And we saw shit from spanish invasion.....
lol at you think spanish need to lie to us.....this government got 4 regions for bending to brits and was able to take 3...
And before this coward NAP...Sweet and Seanan won shit in any of RWs.
So why would spanish lie?
they can say time and date when they will attack and still win without a sweat considering who riuns this land...
Just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't going to or was not planned. I am with Ian on this one. If the plan didn't work out Spain would not admit so.
Brilliant logic Colby...
Fck! Poland didn't attack us! That means they are going to invade us!
Double fck! China didn't attack us! We are doomed!
Brilliant logic Colby..just brilliant...since you joined kunts party No.2 your mind seems to be degrating....
You know I believe colonialism to be a very unpleasant thing. In my opinion we should achieve a United Ireand, then fight "shoulder to shoulder" with our allies to help them liberating their regions.
spread this article around and get your mates to comment and vote, let's see how many votes we can get by this time tonight
If United Ireland includes Northern Ireland, and if it can be done without eventually getting wiped for trying, I'm all for it.
First off, I hate outside ideas being brought into a game. A game should be played to win and with that said, I see nothing wrong with expansion for the sake of increasing the interests of our team...in our case, eIreland. Just my opinion...
That said, your idea involves a lot of manpower (which we don't have) or a large treasury (which isn't as large as some of the folks we might be fighting).
Before we can ever expand abroad, we need to expand at home...which is to say, we need more active citizens. It'd be nice if all the past politicians that had run on the idea that they were going to create babybooms had come through, but alas, that's not the case. Simply put, without the population (or cash that a larger population brings), we are what we are.
In fairness, the game has RL borders, it is impossible to avoid the importation of some RL ideas.
But the ideas being talked about here are utterly unrealistic regardless of the intent.
whatever, you're entitled to your opinion man , but like I said discussion is a good thing.. not like you have any better ideas 🙂
I do have better ideas, I just don't publish them unless doing so helps me to pursue them.
