The End of an Era
AMD.
According to my wikipedia page I have been either the Minister of Foreign Affairs, or CP on and off since September 2015. This is a bloody long time.
The problem with roles such as MInister of Foreign Affairs is that forigs and the like tend to get accustom to having the same contact in governments, meaning this role can become something of a on man job. I took over from eternal MoFA Fataliix, and have gone on to do the role even longer than him I suppose.
Now this has indeed been helpful in establishing relationships with our allies. They have always had a face to turn to when wanting to contact the United Kingdom. In most cases they have grown to like me and respect me, probably moreso than the citizens of the United Kingdom
😃
Admittedly in public accountability I have been weak. Not as many articles have been published as what should have been in this two year period. But at the same time, I must have been doing a good job behind the scenes. Otherwise why would people keep me around to do the job. So some criticism I have and most undoubtedly will receive in the comments below are well founded. But a lot is unfounded. I have done a lot behind the scenes, and there is clearly a reason different governments chose to keep me around as a constant face in eUK politics.
In my time as MoFA we have seen a lot of things. We have seen the complete turn around of hating ORION and being constantly bombarded by them, to being one of their most loyal members, and now even with their first eUK Secretary General. This has been a success so far I believe, and will be a long prosperous alliance for the near future.
Now to cut a long story short, due to a multitude of reasons mostly being I am working in the United States of America IRL for four months IRL from June until September, as well as being burnt out by the role to little appreciation, I am decided to retire from the role of Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom for the near future as of the 5th May CP election. A return may happen one day ;P We will see. I may serve cabinets in other capacities, but from June I will not have the access to do any more than two click, and I am losing the patience required to fill out such a role.
So thank you for having me serve you for the past two years, even when many of you did not want it, and in closing, I hope we can all agree that I was a much better MoFA than Country President
Apologies for the wall of text.

There is no "United States of America"
They are rebellious colonies. Period.
The Russians will teach you not to bully the world as you did the last 300 years, with several H bombs, soon 😉
I thought you did an excellent job - simply because you were able to do it all with a minimum of drama....
thank you madelina. I appreciate you saying so
Appreciate you son.
love you dad
Have a great time in the US, get em yankees.
Finally we get rid of you, to bad you are not moving to the USA in eRepublik, we can only hope...
And on a serious note, good luck in the US 🙂 o7

You did a damn fine job as MoFA from what I remember and with the war with eUS you were pivotal in bringing eIndo and getting support for eUK. Enjoy the break AMD!
Thank you Charles 🙂
Farewell
Good Luck in America

Noone can deny or denegrate the huge amount of time and effort that you have put into your service as eUK's MoFA.
The challenge now is to find someone who can take up the reigns in order to ensure that eUK continues to be heard within the international community.....
Let someone else's give it a go for a while 😉
O7 thank you CC
We have a MoFA?
Define 'We' in this circumstance.
Yes you do, it's this guy: https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/3073459

Thank you for all your hard work as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aaron. Term after term you did an excellent job which greatly supported the UK and enabled us to support our allies efficiently and effectively.
Enjoy the USA \o/

They make interwebz connections here in the States. 😛
As far as the job goes, in my experience the MoFA and Prime Minister jobs were the most brutal in terms of time commitments, and if you do not have an active player base that can build a decent set of ambassadors, forums, and so on. Without those, it's literally one guy fielding 90 PMs from other countries asking about alliances, relations, wars, etc, and it consumes you. Good on you for doing it for as long. I know my terms as CP and in Government were as much a full time job IRL as they were online.
yeah. I lack the time anymore to be honest xD, gonna cut down a little bit and enjoy my time in the states ;P
Our long national nightmare is over! Rejoice!
good luck in your RL work! Voted!
Happy and safe travel wishes to you
Good luck in the US my love :')
