The State of our (Dys)functional Union
OogieBoogie3
Hello fellow citizens of Ireland...
It seems I always find myself in this position, a country disguised as a functional and peaceful Democracy that in reality is vexed by political turmoil and controversy.
A few days ago, our president Nerusia decided it would be mature and reasonable to threaten me over accidentally "stealing" a medal from him. I can say with sincerity that this incident (if you can call it that) was merely just an honest mistake - yet our President, the supposed leader of this country decided to threaten me, claiming I'd never again win a medal in this country. Now obviously that was a hollow threat, as I've earned a handful of medals since this "incident", but I think it's important to highlight the fact that we have a loose cannon with the maturity of a petulant child serving as our head of state who believes to his core that not only I have acted with malicious intent to defraud him of something consciously, but that he is also somehow entitled to a medal in an open battle in a free country. Again, reality doesn't align with his overreaction - this was just an honest mistake - I wasn't particularly paying attention to know any better.
All of that being said, after some mean words and a bit of overreaction, we've resolved this incident. However it's important to highlight publicly that this happened, because it's important to highlight what is going on in our government. A sour misguided and unhinged President of a democracy feeling as if something was owed to him, and choosing to threaten a sitting congressman is definitely something foreign to me, and a troubling precedent. It implies that he believes that rules of conduct and mutual respect do not apply to him, and that he's free to take a run at individuals within the government for reasons not related to government. This is conduct unbecoming of a President, or any congressman or minister for that matter. I can admit that my response was no better in conduct, but I am not the President, and I did not initiate this incident based on an unhinged and baseless assumption of foul and malicious play. All that aside, there are more serious matters that must be publicly addressed.
Most notably, the internal conflict between Kaitlynn, Ad Hoc Ireland, and the sitting seat of power, Eire Aonair.
Ad Hoc and their allies accuse Nerusia and Eire Aonair of defrauding our elections. They claim the election results to be illegitimate and are demanding that Nerusia step down and resign. Until they get their way, they have chosen the route of political protest within the chambers of congress, utilizing frivolous legislation to cripple the government's ability to balance the budget and fund the government. In response to this strategy, Eire Aonair have threatened literal treason. They intend to fund and initiate a coup de'etat to upend our democracy and replace the government with a military dictatorship. This will be even more damaging to the state of our union than the already crippling protests by Ad Hoc within the chambers of parliament.
Compromise is the only reasonable route to resolve this conflict. We can not allow for the seat of government to start a civil war to destroy this democracy. There has to be some sort of compromise, some sort of terms - somewhere - that can be agreed to in order to prevent this catastrophe from occurring. Somebody threatening to betray and defraud our democracy by committing treason can not argue against me referring to them as loose cannons. You're threatening the most unreasonable course of action possible to get your way - the literal definition of a loose cannon. But I have SOME semblance of trust that a resolution can be met between all sides involved. I'm here to act as a sort of semi-neutral mediator. I've negotiated several peace treaties and non-aggression pacts between feuding (and warring) countries before, but never feuding parties within a single country. It is paramount that these two sides attempt to resolve their differences - civil war over an issue this trivial is unreasonable and should be treated as such.
Comments
indeed, indeed.
despite any disagreements between all the rival factions and parties of e-ireland,
we should all unite and find a common ground for the improvement of our situation.
an honest compromise is a good way for us to achieve such a thing.
but all sides must be polite and eager to listen to each other.
no one is ready ...everyone is waiting for the presidential outcome...
some conspiracy fantasies, others of cheating during the last election and there I must confess that in the matter well done..
once it says nothing is said...
vote and wait and see..
don't believe these people, they are problematic and subversive everywhere they go...
I was one of the heads of the Swiss government before you were even breathing the same air. Therefor my citizenship predating your very relevance grandfathered me from having to abide by the false Constitution that you and your rats apparently ratified. I don't follow your rules because I had served years in Swiss congress and the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs back before you were nothing more than a cum-stain on your father's mattress. You act like you're some kind of king and that your word is the word of a God. It's all about you all the time. You probably act this way because you life is devoid of fulfillment and meaning.
your message only confirms my previous message...
"don't believe these people, they are problematic and subversive everywhere they go..."
Adding to the fact that you are violent and you attack everyone senselessly in a game, I feel sorry for your life and attitude. I hope you feel better at some point and enjoy the game without following like a wanderer in several countries without receiving any support and being a failure in everything.
FYI the current swiss constitution was not made by me haha but explain things to a resentful and hating person like
you don't make sense. I told you something simple and you only answer something that has nothing to do with it and is false, in addition to basic aggressions and low instincts... in addition to being attacks so old that they are out of fashion and denote your lack of adaptation to a game in this epoch.
are you continuing your nonsense in ireland now?
you left switzerland for your poor actions and your poor behavior, do not do the same in a stable and honorable country like ireland.
be aware of these people!!! Fortunately, they fled from Switzerland but now the problem is in Ireland, they won't achieve anything anyway😉

I swear you're illiterate; either that or just stupid. If you actually read the article, I highlighted the fact that the two largest political entities are quarreling with one another enough so to the point of virtual stalemate. Ad Hoc and their allies accuse Eire Aonair of stealing the election last minute by bussing in citizens and giving them citizenship last minute. In protest, Ad Hoc have been proposing legislation with the sole intent to cripple the government's ability to issue capital to fund the budget and all of its programs. This is effectively preventing the government from functioning.
@oogie : its a well known fact that terry benedict, except from being a power-hungry megalomaniac, is also a massive idiot who cant even read properly, let alone to understand what an article is saying.
e-switzerland is tainted with his presence, but everything's quiet in the western front.

@chris your message only confirms my previous message...
"don't believe these people, they are troublesome and subversive wherever they go..."
I'm sorry that I continue without assuming your failure and inaptitude that led you to total rejection in Switzerland... I hope that soon you feel better at some point and enjoy the game without continuing as a bum in several countries without receiving any support and being a failure in all.
by the way your hate with me is not good haha try to relax man.
I only exposed your mistakes and took you out of a comfortable position where you thought you owned Switzerland. Even the most prominent people in Switzerland realized that you are incompetent and fake!
Irish, beware of this nefarious and dangerous character!
@terry :
terry, terry terry.
always making it about you.
noone asked you to comment on oogieboogie's (accurate) political analysis, nor to post your lies about him and me.
similarly, noone ''exposed me'' for anything, as i served e-switzerland loyally for many years, and i have been the CP of e-switzerland 3 times, a swiss congressman for many more terms, and the PP of SFP for longer than you can imagine.
the people trusted me with that power, and when i spoke out about your sleazy methods to take over e-switzerland, you tried to sabotage my good name.
when that failed, you took over SFP, and you called your buddy to remove me forcibly with your pals.
everyone knows how insecure and arrogant you are, so its not a big secret.
like oogieboogie said before to you,
''You act like you're some kind of king and that your word is the word of a God. It's all about you all the time.
You probably act this way because you life is devoid of fulfillment and meaning.''
i feel sad for you, thats how pathetic you are.
i never hated you terry. you are beyong that. i feel sorry for you.
one should only feel pity that your only pleasure in life is a few pixels in an old, dying game, as e-switzerland's dictator- er president for life.
PS : the funniest thing about terry benedict is that he deleted his replies below, so that noone can answer back to his lies and low-effort insults.
(and yet, we just did).
you failed once again, terry.
try working on the things that you know best, such as taking over e-switzerland with your friends and multies help.
remain an arrogant failure, or grow up.
whatever works best for you.
