[Derp4PotUS] Building Up our Military Units
Derphoof
In August of this past year, Congress voted to defund the United States Armed Forces. It is now a privately run MU. This leaves us without a government-run military unit to train young soldiers, and to call upon for directed damage. We must rely on our private military units and work with them in order to strengthen our soldiers for better battlefield results.
We’ve used various programs in the past, such as Bank Up 2 Strength Up, the government run program to help each low-level player upgrade their training grounds. This helps to produce stronger soldiers on the battlefield and a stronger America.
However, there is only so much that our nation’s government can do to help our citizens. Each MU has it’s own unique culture, and it’s own way of running its organization. They are their own communities, and know how to best serve their members.
So, I propose we give them the opportunity to access resources for their soldier’s growth.
The current system for an MU to obtain government funding is outlined in our Constitution, via the Constitutional Appendix. It is an outdated document that was created, not to be functional, but to put up resentful roadblocks, after the US had been burned by citizens in the past.
It requires an MU to provide the following:
A listing of all communes and commune owners
A complete roster, including names, strength, and employment
Access to Live Orders
Requirement to direct damage towards daily priority battles, as set by the DoD
This is, quite frankly, an extremely intrusive system that many MU’s do not wish to engage in.
I propose to lead a drive to repeal this portion of the Constitution.
Having spoken to several MU’s, some have expressed interest in crafting their own development programs and obtaining funding, if the legislation was changed or repealed. Others have said that they would be more likely to request additional funding to help in times of crisis when National Defense is a priority.
It is my hope that by repealing this legislation, I may be able to work with the leadership of our top MU’s in order to help craft programs to help strengthen our citizens-soldiers, and our overall national defense as a result. Though any and all proposals would need to be approved and funded by Congress, I would work with Congress to fund these programs.
These MU’s know what their citizens need, and I aim to help them meet those needs. The government should be using its tax dollars effectively to promote the growth of the United States, not just hoarding it for large conflicts.
By repealing the legislation, and letting MU’s pitch their ideas to the Congress, we can help bolster our defense and make our tax dollars work for the people.

Government for the People
I think we had that, it was called JCS, nothing new!
Derp4CP!
Good Evening.
To build military units, first you need to build your first city, the capital of your future empire. Build a defensive unit: choose a Warriors or, if you started the game knowing Bronze Working, a Phalanx unit. In your first turns, you can send it to explore the world and then build a Settlers to expand your empire building your second city. After that, research Horseback Riding and build a Horsemen, an unit more suited to exploration, and build another defensive unit in the second city. When you complete the Horsemen, send it to explore the world and return your first unit to your capital - it's a dangerous world, after all.
...
Or just build lots and lots of Settlers to found lots and lots of cities, and don't give a damn if the commie Barbarians stole a couple of them!!
Oh, and don't forget to build the wonder The Great Wall, it's very important to defend your civilization. Fortunately, the God Emperor of Americans Donald Trump already secured this wonder in Murican cities.
Best new idea yet
disagree, dumping the forum which is a haven for malcontents to troll in the interest of the governing overlord elitests, is far better than merely the different factions of congress trolling themselves over another trivial campaign idea offered so that said GOEs have something to troll the citizenry with in-game during another forum rigged election cycle.
I totally agree. There is nothing of importance that happens on that forum that can't take place right here in the game. It would at least make citizen like DMJ who lurk in and influence Congress without ever signing in to play eRepublik.
your so full of it. Let us see the SFP drop there forum, it is worse than the one I mentioned, you'll regularly ignore access requests easily manipulating elections there, you'll happily change your rules on a whim to assure the results that silence anyone that steps out of the expected party line. Hypocrite much?
At least the top 2 have an international flavor to them.. covered up in forigs, some of which aren't necessarily even on your side.
How do you justify spending US tax money on them.. you know you'll have to. xD
Hope the discussion is in public congress. 🙂
That out of the way.. anything that generates activity is good and the fewer strings, the more likely it is to work.
Good luck
How can an MU which has 25% to 50% foreign membership even be considered an American MU? They are more like a Foreign Legion. How can an American MU retain a soldier who has citizenship in a country we are attacking?
If the government decides to set 'American Only' COs then 25/50% of some units will still not fight as directed. So in order for me to support something like this the one requirement I would insist on would be any unit receiving government funding MUST be totally America.
Yeah, I like that idea.
Anything that can generate activity is good. Nice idea derp
I think technically it would be repealing the code of the United States not the constitution. The constitutional piece is only the plain vanilla of organizing the government so this could be done with just a majority of congress.
I miss the USTC, I wish a candidate would bring that back as a government run MU. A lot of noobs got their start there.
I'll do it if you run it, fam.
That's a pretty cool idea!
seriously so this, even if ezc just gets the tax money just our members send to the government I know deep and gnil could do ALOT with it. Good stuff here
I would be happy getting my tax dollars back as well.
Good Luck.. o7
Helping the new players build equity and strength is an honorable deed.
Hopefully, we will have a balanced distribution program.
True militarism.
true idealism also...
