The Economist ~ Goodbye GLaDOS! ;_; [updated]

Day 893, 13:45 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Spite313



Dear friends,

I thought since it was the end of yet another presidential month, I’d take the time to sum up GLaDOS’ term in office. I think that the measure of a President is often how they deal with crisis. In the public eye those crisis are most often wars, but in government a shortage of funds or a lack of manpower can be just as disastrous. GLaDOS is probably feeling a little disappointed that nobody tried to brutally invade us during his term, giving him the chance to display his military, leadership and trolling talents. However I’m always glad for a quiet term. This month we’ve seen a big increase in our tax income, a stabilisation of our domestic markets and a resurgence of our high-Q production. We’ve seen the military reformed (once again) and new initiatives launched. It’s been a fairly good month. Since I love ms paint, I’ve decided to keep this article short and sum up GLaDOS term in pictures instead.


GLaDOS emerges victorious

When GLaDOS announced he was to stand for President a lot of people were surprised. When he won, many people were shocked. With TUP, RFA and UKRP all backing separate candidates it was anyone’s game, though bets were on Pensive (TUP) or GLaDOS (UKRP) to win, being from the two largest parties. GLaDOS swept up the military vote and won, and I think nobody was as surprised as he was. Despite attempts to impeach him the second place candidate Pensive remained in support of the people’s choice, and overall GLaDOS delivered stability.

GLaDOS invades Norway

Early in the term GLaDOS whipped out his signature knife move on Norway, co-ordinating a double strike with Russia. UK secured high-oil, placed a hospital and began trying to fortify the region.


Admins reverse decision

With the admins reversing the decision GLaDOS was surprised to see Norway coming back from the dead 😛


Battle for Rhone-Alps

Midway through the term the battle for Rhone Alps kicked off, with the UK providing its share of tanks. GLaDOS led the UK armed forces into battle and against all the odds we won, removing the high wood region from Poland.


Fall of Hellokitty
At the end of his term, Heilongjiang fell to invading forces. The epic battle only drew Phoenix closer together however. A family til the end.

In the end this month has given us stability. Whoever takes on the Presidency next month will lead a country much stronger than the eUK GLaDOS inherited.

Our challenges for the future are continuing the economic revival, developing a strong community and involving as many citizens as possible in our planning for the future. Whoever can do that the most effectively will be the natural successor to GLaDOS.

Cheers,

Iain
