Ireland has now seen its so called “allies” in CUA show their true colours and join our arch-enemies in TWO. I’ve seen this coming as in the past Argentina has been known to switch sides and using small countries for their own benefit. This is all down to MUFC and his government’s incompetency in diplomacy and it has now sent Ireland into a bleak future.

Conflict with the Brits
With our allies leaving us out in the cold against the Brits and the mighty Poland we are unable to retain our regions after helping them with their baby boom which shows how grateful they are. The only way out is to agree on peace terms with UK and their CP is open to negotiations. UK does not wish to continue the conflict as they are wasting essential resources that can be put to use elsewhere and we share the same view.

TWO?
Brian Boru has urged Ireland to re-consider its position and I agree but I do not agree with his aggressive foreign policy of joining our arch-enemies TWO. In the past 3 years of playing this game I cannot see Ireland betraying our friends just to be on the winning side and sit back drinking my Guinness. I also don’t see how TWO might consider Ireland to be part of their entity as UK and many of their close allies have a pretty heavy history with us.
I’ve seen the collapse of PEACE, Phoenix and ONE who were both dominate alliances. There is always a time when an alliance is such a dominate force will finally crumble just like the Roman Empire.
What’s next for Ireland?
That’s an interesting question that is yet to be answered by our new government under the leadership of Sir Andriano Pette. I think personally this is a very difficult time for Ireland as MUFC’s incompetence certainly didn’t help our reputation worldwide. CoT will shadow a doubt over our chances of joining of their organisation and even TWO will also think the same. If Ireland wishes is to join CoT then some serious negotiations and persuasion is needed from the Foreign Affairs department.
This time when we come to choosing our fate it needs to be done in a proper manner and that the voice of the Irish people are taken into account.
Fin,

Nice Ian. Reasonable and logical as ever. We need more of this.
as long as the UK is cool, TWO is cool.
So... Can you ignore the fact that MUFC exists?
nevar! Have him killed and thrown out of Ireland and we are cool q:
Ohh... I was afraid of that... That could prove to be as difficult as underwater basket weaving.
basket weaving isn't so bad, try smoking a pipe while diving some time if you want a challenge 😃
I think we all noticed where this is leaning...
Ian Vichy France is that way >
and back 70 decades or so.
And we know how they ended up
Don't rush to be too accommodating
A peace treaty would not be the same as Vichy France since we would not fight along side of the UK. I don't think Ian is being accommodating, just reasonable in the fact that with not being a part of an alliance we are not going to be able to do much while occupied. Getting back something and doing something is better than stewing and doing nothing. Just my opinion of what I read.
Ha! you think I'm being too accommdating? I don't think you know me well enough.
I don't how you came to the conclusion of a "Vichy France" type of agreement and that I would suggest such an idea. Maybe I should of said white peace instead of "peace terms".
I don't know if you are going to be too accommodating Ian. The devil will be in the details. I just got this feeling from reading your article that you seem to be a bit to eager to agree with what the UK will be proposing.
So whether I know you or not, the situation will be obvious to all & sundry when an agreement is reached.
A peace treaty is not surrender. Occupation of any of our regions as the basis of the peace would be Vichy, yes, but that isn't on the table.
Strength and Honour
I'd go with a white peace, all original regions returned to everyone, including Poland returning all UK core territories, with a NAP between Ireland and UK. I don't think either country is profiting all that much from the current state of affairs. As an individual, I'm doing pretty good out of it, lol.
I don't like the joining TWO idea, as I think we'd lose to much by joining them and they have not been historically friendly toward us. I supported CUA because Asgard publicly rejected us. Now that we've been betrayed by the former CUA, I really don't see a good place for us to be as far as alliances go.
I would like to see Adriano and the MoFA put up some articles on the current state of affairs and their ideas for progressing.
you have 2 options, TWO or CoT. Or NaN I suppose...who are pro-TWO anyways...
and meh, Poland can stay in Wales, its our region after all...
Who the Brits rent their regions to isn't really our business to dictate. It's not like the Poles can't simply destroy us via their MPP with Britain anyay.
gotta start somewhere, and you can't negotiate up 😉
