Here is the thing for me . What is the purpose of politics in the game anymore?
A relatively small group of people : 29 dictates what happens in Ireland and most countries . The sole purpose of to institute "forever" wars against other countries.
In most battles a very small core group of players actually fight. So a lot of wrangling and shenanigans take place behind the scenes so that eireland can have as many battles as most other countries?
the country president daily picks battles to institute. so his role is merely a button pusher. most discussion is death lets pay 400 000 to the country organizations to use in the country x 30 . again its basically a repetitive process that Plato havent thought to eliminate. naps have all been eliminated from the game.
for example why is there a limit to the amount such is that countries daily pay over the same amount 400000 for 30 days in the game?
politics seems to be in the phase most other features in the game eliminated.

there was a time in the game where one physically had to select each factory one owned to work in it. then plato created the "select all " toggle.
in my opinion the current system contribute 0 to political activity in the game.
a dog forever chasing its own tail.

You are absolutely correct.
100% Right
The game has no purpose except to make money for the owners. It works on an ego concept of who can win more battles, have more medals, and get more gold to buy EB to repeat the same. I am slowly regretting coming back.(facepalm)
I consider this entirely true.

Well if the leader of the 2nd largest Party is removed from the mass message of Congress by the Junta then the Junta is contributing to this malaise.
So in absence of information the only safe decision is to oppose any votes.
Notwithstanding the fact that no true accounts of where they siphon the cash to are ever published...
So you could make politics work here but the Junta does not want this and makes decisions in the gloom for the rubber stamp Congress to approve... any debate is considered somehow to be dissention.
Anyway enjoy your day 🙂

Nonsense.
You were a total asshat to other people in the messages.
That's why you were removed, not for any poltical reason.
Jump down off the cross comrade.
Nice deflection... Now Publish Accounts
Volunteer to be MoF or at least help out you wanker,
That will put paid to your nonsense so I dount it will ever happen,
So
Because I won't serve in a Gov of crooks and thieves
This is a reason not to publish accounts?

this is a very interesting article.
i agree with you on most things in here, including the fact that the admins/devs have left this game to be static and it doesnt have many new things in it, with the result being the game dying, as the userbase gets smaller and smaller...
also, a small correction.
this is an e-country with 94 citizens, not just 29.
secondly, when you ask that : ''why is there a limit to the amount such is that countries daily pay over the same amount 400000 for 30 days in the game?''
its true, the donation limit should be much higher or to have none at all, if you ask me.
furthermore, you state that our government is trying to institute "forever" wars against other countries.
well, those are the TWs/Training Wars and they are useful in practising battles and wars against other e-nations in a friendly way, and without us getting in an actual battle, which would see us lose land or resource bonuses and noone wants that.
what would seem preferable to you? to have safe TW's, or having actual wars and getting e-ireland wiped, as its weaker from its strong enemies?
in an other point, you state that :
''there was a time in the game where one physically had to select each factory one owned to work in it. then plato created the "select all " toggle.''
and i ask, was that a good thing? ( to have less easy functions in the game? )
i've heard people complain about the ''work as manager'' option because it was ''bad'' for them and i cant see the reason why, as its very convenient for someone who has food/weapon factories and it can help them to get some productions/products out per day, if someone doesnt have workers or if they need a quick earning/bonus per day.
ofcourse i do agree on the fact that this games events, functions and politics need to be changed and/or to be freshened up a bit, but i dont see it happening with the current situation.
i wish that things will change for the better for this game +community in the near future.
Your first mistake was in assuming this was a game.
