A Strategic Vision for the eUK

Day 6,006, 08:31 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by Mr Woldy


Hello, I am Mr Woldy. You may remember me as the original safe pair of hands. In this article I would like to paint a picture of a driven eUK with clear goals we can all rally around.

I believe that articulating a long term strategic vision for the eUK will not only help offer political direction but also be a force for unity - something we can agree on and which will remind us of our common purpose. This vision needs to be understood as distinct from policies - the strategic goals are a long term aim, which is delivered by our operational policies.


Articulating our aims is crucial to our Politics functioning - we need to know what spending public money is meant to achieve. What are the desired outcomes, how else might we achieve them? How do we know it's working? In the absence of clear goals, these questions can’t be adequately answered. Let’s change that.

My vision is to drive consensus around four strategic goals, and give us common purpose again. I hope you will consider endorsing this vision by voting for me in the Presidential election.



We all know I have a bad habit of writing long articles. For those who want to read more, some further detail follows. If you're done reading, that's fine too, you've covered the key message. For those die-hard readers who may want maximum detail, each section has a link to click through to info cards. By all means get in touch or comment if you want to know more.


Doing anything in this space requires an active and affable Cabinet, and a coherent approach for the Ministry of Education, NHS and Immigration Ministry. These can work together to plan and propose incentives, evaluate what works and provide ongoing support to citizens. Most importantly, they should be doing something.

We need bespoke support that helps people, not to throw technical manuals at people or tell them they’ve got to catch up to old players. That will put people off!

The lion’s share of our income is funnelled into rewards programs with nebulous goals, sometimes it is ‘be stronger by ranking up’, sometimes it is ‘have fun’, sometimes it is ‘fighting can be expensive’. The current approach to rewards inadequately addresses all of these things - the absence of a defined strategic aim means they are trying to be all things for all a few people. Again, what do we actually want to achieve here?

From a purely military perspective we need to increase the numbers of players whilst having a program dedicated to incentivising fighting (see next section). In the spirit of incentivising everyone I will not require people to comment to claim. I would also see pre-epic damage raising and other coordinated activities (such as live-fire exercises) receiving rewards bonuses on top of the baseline offering. This would encourage people to interact with the MoD and their MU’s.

First and foremost I believe a foundation package of support for eUK citizens should come from using our Money Market trading pot as a Citizen Dividend. This means that in a four week period all profits made via trading are distributed equally amongst the active population. This is good for the economy!

On top of this we can add other incentives, such as fighting rewards. These should operate on a fixed-cost basis, with a simple algorithm to determine reward value based on what percentage of the eUK’s kills a player did (capped initially at 10k kills). Players get the equivalent value of the rewards funding. This promotes fighting regardless of who is doing it.

This means a budget can be agreed for rewards that doesn't fluctuate wildly. When added to the Citizen Dividend, the level of support remains very high. Based on these two programs alone 80% of citizens would be better off. Here’s a worked example if I have not described the approach clearly enough!

The eUK is a pretty good place to play but your chances of stumbling upon flaming, trolling or worse are fairly high too. We should be invested in being a nation where people want to interact, want to read the media, want to participate in Congress. Not one where you have to read 40 messages of people repeating unclear questions, baa’ing at each other or going full-Jim Davidson.

The Presidency can do a lot to help this culture shift along. I believe the presidency is the pinnacle of example setting and should stand up for decency, minimise ambiguity and clarify matters of past and present policy to help bring disputes to an end promptly. If I were to be elected I would not vanish if my supporters were going feral, but would stand up for facts and challenge trolling and abuse in my own support base as much as in anyone else's.

Hopefully these top-level goals and policies provide a more positive and driven vision for the eUK,

At the moment the eUK has no long term goals, it runs programs and maintains Training Wars, as it should do, as everyone does. It does not represent all we can do by any stretch of the imagination. Holding it up as the peak of Government outputs it is like a restaurant boasting about having cutlery. Instead we should state how many Michelin stars we want and what we need to do to get them.

Blanket phrases like ‘player advancement’, ‘rewarding determination’ and ‘supported to thrive’ don’t adequately explain why public money should be shovelled towards some players and not others, or why some ideas are advanced and funded and others are not. As an example, if we want to increase the eUK’s damage output, we would have universal fighting incentives paired with specific coordination rewards. We would definitely offer migration incentives. If we want to support everyone and grow the economy, we would distribute funds much more widely. If we wanted a great community, we would lead from the front - after all communities aren’t built in silence. Setting clear strategic goals helps us assess what is working.

Such clear goals also matter when it comes to transparency, accountability, and fairness. Ultimately without succinct strategic justifications, how do we know what spending is meant to achieve for the nation? How do we know if it is working? How do we know if we should be paying for it?

These are all burning questions. Help me answer them by voting Woldy4CP on Sunday.

Thanks for reading!
