National Initiative #2 : Gun Drive
Press Corps Writer Custer
Back in the day… back in the day…

We had the Civilian MU, a very special MU that served the nation well. They were completely privately funded. We didn’t have deep pocket sponsors then, it was all about the American People, of all political and military associations, making sure the Civ MU could arm its soldiers. We used to buy and Donate Tanks by the hundreds just because, ya know, ‘Merica.
Kinda alternating between Grab Bags (I’m working on that) and Gun Drives, we citizens kept the Citizens MU weapons program and Interior’s Meals On Wheels program running strong.
Today we have the GIMP Program. Unfortunately the only guy who knew what that means wisely retired to the real world last week. But the program is still there and you can read about it at Yui MHCP001’s article, [GIMP] New Management.
Apply for GIMP and they send you money to reward you for the fighting you were going to do all week anyways. Getting paid encourages you to buy more weapons and fight more.
You get paid for medal hunting. You get paid for 2-clicking.
They track your fighting and pay you accordingly.
They have a huge Budget Line. I have a 5100cc Budget line, GIMP's is 2.5 mil.
They are not short of funding, and they’re not asking for this.
Yui is going to make note of what GIMP has now (late Sunday), and will let us know maybe mid-week how we’re doing, and I’ll collect a final number late Thursday for Friday’s Pony Express.
GIMP spends 2.5 Million cc per week.
I want Yui to get that in Donations.
From the American People.
In four days.
The next round of GIMP is on us, because, ya know.. ‘Merica.
Donate to Yui directly— cc Cash Only.
Actual Weapons is an inventory nightmare so it’s a Cash Only business.

No prizes, just pride.
We’re America, dammit, we’re up to our friggin’ eyeballs in pride, and still always got room for more.

War Map & Analysis
Press Corps Writer Cthulhu

Greetings to all you humans, interdimensional beings, out there in the eWorld. It’s your benevolent squid here, and I have been authorized to give you news from the Ministry of Truth, regarding everything going on in the Ministry of Peace. First, here’s a little mood music for your fevered minds. 24 positions is pretty impressive, afterall.
Remember perpetual war for perpetual peace. With that in mind, we’re just going to review some of the basics. If you are a citizen and you need a safe region for your companies; you are authorized to live in KY, WV, and VA with no papers. However, if you leave the confines of one of these three zones, you will be subject to search and seizure to ensure the safety of all law-abiding citizens.

Next, there are several training wars that continue to enrich and renew our great nation. These are simple maneuvers required to maintain the status quo. Unless otherwise stated, the defender always wins. Remember, you do not need to spill your brother’s or sister's blood in these wars. These are for training the young ones. They are our future, citizens.
Bulgaria
Romania
Republic of China (Taiwan)
Ukraine
Canada
Peru
Poland
Japan
United Kingdom
Iran
Republic of Moldova
Sweden
Netherlands
Finland
Lithuania
United Arab Emirates
Portugal
North Macedonia
Latvia
Colombia
Brazil
Israel
India
Indonesia
Paraguay
South Africa
China
Philippines
Australia
It is the duty of every citizen to watch these training wars and ensure the appropriate outcome in each and every one. There are nefarious CODE agents everywhere. They attempt to harm and undermine your great nation at every turn. Remain vigilant citizens.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

WHPR Repair Yard : Knowledge is Power
Press Corps Writer Pfenix Quinn
The Peoples' Repair Yard is a group -- well, it's one person -- but a group is like a set and a set can have one element right? Heck, a set is still a set even if it's empty. So there! Anyway, The PRY group is proud to announce a series of WPA- and fake-WPA-inspired artwork aimed at inspiring the brave and true E-merican players to step up their game, have more fun, and, of course, be prepared to deal with the threat posed by zombies and werewolves!
Party leaders, players of merit, fighters of reknown and all those who click buttons for an e-living -- make sure your neighbors, allies, noobies, and slacker-buddies know the in's and out's of the game!







I wrote this for a different President 11 years ago this week.



Oh, by the way, our next Airstrike will be ready in a couple days.
I understand those things are available every 14 days, so.. my lovely eHungarian friends, when you see the flash, mark your calendars for every two weeks hence.
Like clockwork.
No matter what else we're doing, we have our next 12 Airstrikes reserved just for you. And be secure in the knowledge that we can pay for another 12 Airstrikes with pocket change when those are used up. And we will.
Have a nice day.
Kickstart the media. Every keystroke counts.

I've been working on a Grab Bags spreadsheet, realised I can't balance my books, shop it around to donors, and complete all preparations in time for a Monday WHPR launch.
Because raffles are gambling and gambling is illegal on eRep, we'll do the Live Game over on Discord and over here we'll just make vague references and a Congratulations article.
Meanwhile, I will be accepting Donations large and small for no apparent reason.

Stay informed people!
Prince's Erotic City is double-plus good.

That word “airstrike” gets me going, what does it mean this “airstrike.” As if the word was discovered by plato himself.
I created it actually from a suggestion... but I did not anticipate how they implemented it.
Sir, yes, sir! o7
Why and when were the safe regions reduced to "you are authorized to live in KY, WV, and VA"
Kentucky is the worst place (house wise ) for a residence
& West Virginia and Virginia are not as bad but are still not good places to have residence
see https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/where-to-reside-2758655/1/20
The following were the safe regions
Alaska
California
Florida
Kentucky
Nebraska
Tennessee
Virginia
Washington
Washington, D.C.
West Virginia
Might want to clarify that GIMP (Growth Incentive Military Program) pays only for air combat
also get paid when gain a new air rank, up to Group Captain*****
pretty sure you're describing the ABS Program.. shefutzu recently published a DoD edition about that.
I'm an Airman, I should probably check that out.
No I mean GIMP - here is an out of date article on GIMP
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/the-speaker-s-word-a-new-program-2716843
have been changes on payouts and now applies for all air ranks
ABS is different - it provides AQ5s for important battles - has a minimum rank requirement
wow.. a Speaker's Word.. by dmjohnston, too..
my take on it is that America needs more Air fighters.
that program undoubtedly influenced my decision to dedicate to Air fighting.
and National Initiative #3 involves 175 Q5 Air Weapons.
I bet Egypt is feeling gypped for being left off the TW list
