Today I have to talk about five points
1. This month's Congress
2. My run for Congress
3. Loss of Karnataka
4. New ally on the horizon
5. Free trade ftw
1. This month's Congress
So in this past month, 57 Congressmen were elected. With a week to go before the next Congressional elections, a vote was held on a bill. Only 10 Congressmen voted. As there was no quorum, the Speaker of the House shut down the Congress until the next month.
2. My run for Congress
I'm running for Congress in Iowa. I've been a member of S.E.E.S. for the last 3 months, and I'm proud to represent my party in the Congressional elections this month. I have only one campaign promise for you: if I'm elected, I pledge to stay in Congress till the end of the month.
3. Loss of Karnataka
Americans have started moving out of Karnataka. Our population there is down to 2,400. A lot of zombies will be left behind there. Many Americans that have companies there will lose money with their companies staying behind. Did this have to happen? I interviewed last month's Indian President, and this is what he had to say:
Q: So India asked for 1500, and USA offered 600. But just to continue the deal for 2 months, the countries agreed to the price of 1300. Do you think that if the American negotiating team offered a more reasonable price that the deal could've continued unobstructed, and out of the press? USA would have been allowed to keep the region and all this would have never gotten into the public eye. Just as the current compromise deal of 1300 gold was reached, a similar deal that could have gone on indefinetely where USA keeps Karnataka in good faith?
A: I wanted the full India, but if USA were agreed on 1500, I couldnt have asked for it to be returned for next 3 months. So the refusal of USA helped us get it sooner. Though many other senior players didnt want Karnataka back at the start of last month's negotiations, but USA negligence made them think the opposite.
Just for the record, it was Harrison Richardson who said "no" to the Indians when they asked for more money at the end of the 6-month lease agreement last month. His grandstanding cost us one of the most important regions in V1. In V2, Karnataka will probably not be as important, but USA lost a lot of respect in the world with Harrison Richardson's actions. Quite a few people from around the world were laughing about the fact that our key region can be negotiated away from us. We had a great victory to conquer this region. Too bad it was taken from us away from the battlefield.
4. New ally on the horizon
Interesting developments in Italy in the last 2 days. Spain and Italy have reached an agreement to divide the 2 Mexican HI Oil regions between themselves. I have talked to the Italian leaders in my capacity as the Ambassador to Italy, and this is what they had to say about the recent events:
"If you want to write something, make very clear the fact that EDEN gave us in 3 days a HI Region, and Phx-PEACE-Entente didn't give us anything in 2 years.
"We asked the French President to apologize for his attitude during the attack of Aquitaine. He laughed in our face for a whole week afterward, so what should we do? He made a deal with Huns, without telling us anything. He said also, "Italians are too weak" like we were "class B allies." We asked him to apologize. But he refused.
"So, Entante is dead."
5. Free trade ftw
As you know, gun prices have gone down to just over 2 dollars. Now, I've never considered myself a free trade supporter. My own Q1 WEP company is losing a lot of money. But, free trade is the way to go. The reason for this is that the money our government would make from increased tariffs would still be in dollars. We then have to convert that into gold to use it for battles etc. So, if we had a bit more dollars that wouldn't mean we would have more gold, because we still have to keep the value of the dollar to the gold at an advantageous peg. Here is a quote from Sydiot's great article
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/how-the-government-makes-money-1135891/1/20:
"Congress then sets the nation's budget based on how much Gold the CBO makes. Not based on tax revenue, not based on how much we can print. It is this number that measures the relative strength of our currency, of our economy, and sets the limit for how much the government can spend without killing the value of the dollar."
Thus, with free trade, all the consumer good are cheap, while our government has plenty of money for battles. This does mean however that if you want to run a business in USA, it is an uphill struggle. The benefit to the many here outweighs the benefit to the few.
So in conclusion, please move to Iowa on the 25th and vote Dante.
No fear DANTE is here

Sincerely ,
Dante Alagherii, future Congressman

First?
DERP INACCURACIES FTW.
India wanted the region back. We didn't offer them 600g. We thought about it but never presented the offer. They came with 3000g per month and we thought about coming back with 600.
Thanks for the libel, though.
yo
Further, we didn't have a 6 month agreement. We had a 3 month agreement, then 3 separate one month agreements. Each time, India had egregious demands for the region.
Their demands remain egregious. Look at Hungary. They are screwing France royally right now.
voted, good luck with it!
Nice article, look forward to seeing what Italy will become of in the future. It would be nice to have another ally in that part of the world.
Spinner spinning the spin.
"We had a great victory to conquer this region." Indonesia retreated, it wasn't so great.
I like the layout of this artikel, it obviously means Dontay will be great for Kongress

Well I wont blame to the HR about the whole issue, in USA the decisions are taken by a group of people, not just the president, same in India. Of course the president influences the decisions. And I know HR never offered me 600 Gold, it was from previous govt. Finance guys.
So HR is not the one to be blamed, or not the only one if u want to say. I appreciate HR wat he has done and I wud hav done the same, if I were at his place. We both were thinking about our country first.
Abhi, decisions are taken by a group of people. He was the President however, so he has the final say. Since he was ultimately responsible for those decisions, he is the President who lost Karnataka. He was outmaneuvered by you Abhi, even tho during his presidency he kept saying we'd manage to keep it.
He could've negotiated a deal that would've kept Karnataka in our hands with enough money for India. The prestige of holding such an important region alone is worth more than an increase in rent.
If we were in control of the region at the start of V2, it would give our company owners in Karnataka room to maneuver. To allow the loss of the region before V2 has severely weakened the hand of our investors.
Dante, I cannot begin to describe how inaccurate your presentation of the Karnataka deal is.
>prestige
Lets put that down next to "morality" on the list of things I care about.
Move back to Croatia please.
"😉ante, I cannot begin to describe how inaccurate your presentation of the Karnataka deal is."

As someone who was involved on the eUS side of things and who know the details of every negotiation, you have no idea what you're talking about. India wants the region back and was within their rights to ask for it back. As their friends, we have come to an agreement that is the best middle ground for both nations.
@Choc
Morality is all good and fine. Karnataka is being returned. That's not at issue at all. At issue is HR's ineptitude as President.
@Porter
You are one annoying guy. As you know, my character in Croatia died. So scrab off.
@Inwegen
The deal was botched by the negotiating team.
You really have no idea what you are talking about. You should shut it before you continue to show how idiotic you really sound.
go Dante🙂

@Inwegen
You are a political beast, yet you act like your actions are accountable to no one. And that's the only thing idiotic here. Politicians who give promises they dont keep and then act as if they are unaccountable. It's funny that you have found yourself in this category as well.
Congressional run officially endorsed by TAMA.
say something in Croatian
Turd Ferguson za predsjednika 😃
I have never made any promises... so it's pretty much impossible to keep them when they haven't been made.
You're logic is ridiculous.
Someone has to be held accountable when negotiations go awry. Whether it was yours or someone else's ineptitude, the responsibility rests with the President who assigned you to conduct negotiations.
The success of those negotiations is at issue. HR is responsible, even though it appears you're taking responsibility here.
Yet, there is such a thing called political responsibility. We all want the best elected officials possible. HR's politics of negotiation weren't good enough. Did you also craft the shameful deal with France that only a day later we trampled? The same deal that the CJCS wanted to start a mutiny over?
You can't hide behind your position as a negotiator. Your power comes from an elected official who's actions are at issue here.
Thus, you're a political beast. And I don't know why you pride yourself on not making any promises.
You are logic is ridiculous?
Let me ask you then. Who should be held accountable for the India and France negotiations?
What are our guarantees that the next negotiation wont get scrabbed up as well?
good luck dante
As Abhi says, we never offered 600 gold/mo.
As Abhi says, he would have done the same thing in my position.
As Abhi says, it wasn't my fault or the fault of my government.
So, will you continue to toot your own horn, or listen to the guy you are "quoting" and drop your idiotic rampage against me which is based more in spite than fact?
"If we were in control of the region at the start of V2, it would give our company owners in Karnataka room to maneuver. To allow the loss of the region before V2 has severely weakened the hand of our investors."
As far as I can tell, V2 is around the corner. I can also tell we still hold the region. So, you're wrong.
"😉id you also craft the shameful deal with France that only a day later we trampled?"
No deal was ever signed. If you mean the proposed deal, yes, we tried to talk peace with France. They chose to ignore it. Too bad for them.
"The same deal that the CJCS wanted to start a mutiny over?"
Among other things where they were proven wrong (see also: they were wrong to try to defend China over RA). CJCS is right about a lot of things, but not everything.
Nothing was "scrabbed up" about these negotiations. As Abhi and David Forde will attest to, the mere fact that we are able to hold the region now is a testament to the will of both sides to come to some sort of an agreement.
