I guess they ARE Americans...

I like a laugh, like everyone else. On the other hand, I only laugh at funny things. So when I read the American blackmail that's been popping up recently, I can't help but laugh: after all, when people like the Secretary of State for the eUSA are writing articles that claim they want us:
'to be annexed as a State of the eUSA, and your new State abbreviation will be "GB." Zip codes will be assigned to replace your old postal districts, and your state capital will be moved to Wales.'
But for some reason, mysteriously failing to launch the attack they could do this with (mabye their fingers are too podgy too push the right button?), I can't help but be amused.

More seriously, though, it seems that, at least for the moment, we are not going to be invaded within the next few days, given the Polish retreat (No, I didn't understand it either...). However, this does not mean that we aren't at risk anymore; the fact that we are, on all sides, surrounded by enemies, who may seem to be cowards (it's either that or they're too obese to invade) but are still - at present - stronger than we are. To this end, it's important to prepare for this invasion by doing 4 things.

First, move to London, if you have not already done so. I've already said this in my last article, but I'll say it again because I have to emphasise how important it is: if we are spread across the country, when EDEN invades they will easily plough through our walls if we spread them across the country. On the other hand, if we are all in London, we will be able to mount a concerted resistance from there. Aside from being the capital, London also has a Q5 defense system and hospital, as well as being the only region in the eUK to enjoy a high resource (grain). As you can see, it really is important that we get people into London.

Secondly, keep your wellness up. If your wellness is below forty, you can contact the Gifting Hub, who will offer you gifts until your wellness is above forty, at which point you can fight in one of the wars (if you are over level 5) which can be accessed from the homepage, and, after the first fight, go and heal yourself at the hospital (there will be a link on the battlefield page). This should get you to around 80 wellness, and by doing the same thing the next day, you should be able to get to over 90 wellness, which is one of the conditions many employers have for their workers. You'll hit harder, work harder - there's no disadvantage!

Third, you should join the forums at: forums.erepublik.co.uk if you have not already done so. Not only are the forums a fun place to be, and the only way to get into politics (certainly if you want a role in government) in the eUK, they are also vital when it comes to accepting orders for military action. With the forum comes IRC, which is also very important when it comes to both taking orders and also just chatting with people who also play eRepublik.

Finally, I would advise that you should join the Royal Navy. Not only will the Navy help you by making sure you have weapons, by joining the Navy, you are helping our country immensely. If you want more information about what the Navy's about, check out http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/free-guns-join-the-navy--1126195/1/all for more information.

If you do these things, you will be helping the eUK enormously, so it would be great if you would do so 🙂. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to answer.
