Ireland, Croatia, and the Budget

Day 979, 17:17 Published in USA USA by Bradley Reala

As has been pointed out by a number of individuals I have not been the most active writer during my Presidency. This is a problem I have begun to rectify over the past few days, and something I intend to continue fixing.



I Stand Ready to Kill Redcoats

Today Ireland was attacked in two of their core territories, Dublin and Northern Ireland. These attacks mean that one of our closest allies are in grave danger. Ireland has helped us numerous times over the past few weeks, and it’s time we repay the favor. If you have the ability, please make a trip to Ireland and shoot some redcoats. Ireland deserves our help, and I know that many of you all have been itching to shoot some redcoats anyway.

Because of a betrayal of the Irish by one of their own people, they have no weapons to fight with. We are helping to fix this by opening up Arm America to our allies in Ireland. Americans and Irish alike are welcome to post in this thread for free weapons.

The Budget

So we’ve been talking budget cuts recently. Unfortunately that means that someone is gonna have to take a hit. In my opinion there are quite a few areas that we could discuss cutting back in, but there is one specific area that I would leave as untouched as possible. That area is the military. The military has always been one of our biggest expenditures for good reason. If we cut their funding we lose some of the effectiveness they have had, and that is simply not something we can afford. I’d rather see Executive funding trimmed back than military funding. For those that don’t know, Executive funding is used at the Executive’s discretion, mostly for MPPs. If we were forced to scrimp a bit more in the Executive, then that is a sacrifice I’d be willing to see, just so long as our defense is not sacrificed.

Croatia

A few days ago Croatia was opened up to free citizenship. This opens them up to serious PTO threats. Men and Women of America, we need to do everything we can to help the Croatians hold their country, and you can help by signing up here. What we need are people who are willing to go vote to defend Croatia’s independence. For a country that has sacrificed many times for us, defending them from this threat shouldn’t even be a question.
