The mortality of our natality...

Ireland is, geographicly, in a great position. That needs to be used. We need a baby boom.
First of all, you need to ask yourself: "What do i want to do in this game?". Do you have the answer? If you do, forget that answer and ask yourself: "What does Ireland want me to do in this game?". Bigger economy? More population? More military power?
Well... Ireland can get everything by one simple baby boom. I had some experiences with baby booms so i will write you some of the best preconditions.
1. Ireland must be territorialy endangered. Foreign force, possibly Britsh must conquer a large part of Ireland.
2. We need someone influencial, someone with real life media connections. This is probably the hardest to find. I know that with some newspapers and tv broadcasters a simple email or a phone call worked. In Serbia, there was a total media bombardment with eRepublik and look at there population. There are many computer related newspapers and TV shows. I'm sure that some of them can and want to do a report on erepublik. After all it is interesting...
Preparations
After we've established preconditions for a baby boom, it is ultimatly necessary to make preparations. Elected goverment should form a team of experienced player who can make a tutorial for new players. eRepublik is simply to complex nowadays and new players definitly need some help in there beginnings. I think preparations are absolutely necessary because of what French baby boom taught us. They lost over 10 000 baby's because they were not simply prepared to interest them for the game.
Ireland has 65.8% internet users or 3,042,600 users. If only 0.01% of thoose internet users join and contininue to play eRepublik, we could have a population greater for 3,042 people. Imagine how much would that increase our firepower?
Awkors this requires a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice.
Approve or disapprove of the idea and of the whole concept but one is for sure, who includes this in his political program on next elections, gets my fo*in VOTE!!!

I vote for baby boom!
We discussed this a few months ago contacting media companies in Ireland but it got nowhere. We start this and it always finishes the same way, not enough people to help out.
vote, really good article, i will do my best to help you..
if massive campaign is not working you always can do your best as individual, if every of us invite 10 people ( you must know 10 people iRL) and only 3 of them stay in game and keep playing you have 3X more population!

Wow , i realy wish someone had thought of all this earlier
castaneda - i acknlowledge your sarcasm, but i am not an archive to know who, when and where wrote about this subject. All i can do is to bring it up every time i can...
Don't mind cas there Trodaire, he's a gobshite (-_^)
Kurgan is willing to sleep with all of women in eIreland and help babyboom in natural way..
I can be with only 13 women in the same time...not more...

Kurgan I believe your kind can't actually have children until your the last one.
Some good ideas here. We've tried some of them but haven't really worked satisfactorily. But we'll have to keep trying.
Nice article, voted. Btw, 3,042 people would be 0,1% 😉
Sweet..My kind made that up to avoid alimony....
I hardly doubt if "we are invaded, they will burn us alive and rape women" approach works in countries like Ireland, it is very Balkans.
I think perceptions of western people are a bit different and needs a thought which I am working on for a few time.
Kurgan - only 13? Well, your no Sean Connery, but you'll have to do.
Supported!
@sweet , I see what you done there , N i like it LOL
@Trodaire ., I apologise if i caused offence , look at my ingame age and those who have commented i'm Irish RL and joined as irish. We have seen this many many times before.It is however worth trying over n over agin , BUT ATM the only new citz you will encourage are Multi/zombie citz as proven time and time again,
If you believe this can succeed do it yourself and SHOW US a proven way that works for RL Ireland cos brit fighting dont seem to do it.
Show us results working with Ireland ,And everyone will follow , EVERYONE wants Society builder medal
BTW i wouldnt trust Stats on Internet Availablility , Not by a LONG shot , may be available but definitely not usable
Ofc its a good idea, but as others have said, we've never successfully achieved it yet.
Broadband in RL Ireland? Don't believe the statistics...we're a backward nation and it ain't gonna get better any time soon. (This is my RL job, so trust me on this...)
Unduli:
This approach is just an example but you have to agmit that certain animosity between the Irish and the Brits exists. For God sakes, the IRA?! So i think that someone could get passionate about the game. If anything is strong in an Irishman, then it's his national identity.
castaneda:
That's the problem. I'm not RL in Ireland. You on the other hand are. If you want, we can do something together. Me, my self and I are just not enough.
Grainne Ni Mhaille:
Just an example. If we had 300 more people in the game it would be awesome.
All together, even on international forums Ireland can get citizens. Many people who are not Irish love and respect the Irish cult and the prejudice about Irishman. I am not a RL Irishman and my best friend who also plays in Ireland is not Irishman and a lot of population is not Irish. That's the thing with Ireland. A Russian can love it as much as Russia.
@Trodaire
I agree with you. There are many Ireland lover people and also Irish heritage US ,too. But it is not an easy task to attract them.
I think it is proven enough time that Irish people are indifferent to a Brit occupied Ireland.
More than usual babyboom tactics are needed, imho.
@sweet , I see what you done there , N i like it LOL x2
