Leading The Country.
orangejuicemmm
Hello eIreland. Just a short little article (Edit: Not very short at all, now time to watch Crazy, Stupid, Love with the beautiful Ryan Gosling. Ta ta) from me on who I would ask to run/lead this country if I was in power. I'll use cabinet positions, advisory roles, the whole lot and come up with my right hand men.
First things first, I would completely abolish the most ego fuelling, useless position that almost all CP's give to their closest mate or someone in exchange for votes.
It's basically just a position for some pr*ck to say they have more power than someone else whilst doing absolutely sweet f all for a whole 30 days.
Yes that's right you guessed it: Vice President would be *poof*.
Next I'll start with the most obvious choices for positions.
Minister Of Finance: Sweet Drinker. Is Sweet Drinker the best Minister Of Finance eIreland have had since myself? Probably. All jokes aside, Sweet is the best MoF I've seen and I've worked closely with some of the best. (Appleman, Brian Boru, Dubhthaigh). He seems to go above and beyond to make money instead of sticking to the more conservative approach of simply playing the MM (Monetary Market for RTK)
Minister of (Co-)Foreign Affairs: irishbhoy1967 and ChewChewShoe. Another almost no brainer. I'd pick an active irishbhoy1967 (not the sh*t c*nt who bought his account) and ChewChewShoe. I'd have irishbhoy1967 purely for taking the minister to a whole different level in terms of activity and reach. You actually achieve things with him as MoFA as opposed to your simple "Whats going on around the world" articles that people barely read. I'd give ChewChewShoe the co seat for MoFA (once again an active, non lazy Chewie) purely because of the vast array of contacts around the eGlobe. Can almost get you a pair of ears in every circle jerk in the eWorld.
Minister Of (Co-)Defence:Seanan and Marcus Suridius. Another, in my eyes, obvious choice. Recent months/years Seanan has made the military side of eIreland his own. Sacrificing a year of his eLife so other people can have more and him less. Very well liked, level headed and has a no bullshit approach to a lot of stuff. Secretly very opinionated but knows how to hide it well. He'd be the one man to keep this country on the right track military wise regardless of who was in the top seat. Marcus on the other hand for me would be more of the whip of the department. I'm personally not very timid or understanding so I would need someone to emulate some of my characteristics. Not the smartest bloke in the world but his heart is 9/10 in the right place and knows exactly where eIreland should be and how to get there.
Minister of Education and New Citizens: Irasian and Ian Coleman. This will be, obviously, the amalgamation of the MoE and MoNC departments. Even though I personally don't hold these two departments in high esteem I obviously understand the importance of them in our society. Irasian has made the New Citizens area his very own and is rivalling dear old Edana in efficiency and reach. Another obvious choice. Ian Coleman in my eyes is a very boring person who seems to find complete joy in someone of the most monotonous tasks i.e the eRep Wiki. Regardless of this, someone has to do those jobs and I'm glad it is Ian. Ian has produced some wonderful tutorials (as has Irasian, thus the fit) and has filled in a lot of blanks in eIrelands history. Thus I feel no other person deserves the responsibility of teaching our youth. Objectiveness will be Lesson 1 though. We don't want many more ILP youngsters running around talking about stuff they have no idea about or were even around for.
Minister Of Community: James Keiller (with Einberliner, if possible). Another ministry that I find relatively useless and with little esteem to it but none the less handing out free money to people to spend in our markets could be something James would be very good at..Seriously though, James (and Einie) are two of the finest MoC's we've had in eIrish history. Granted, they haven't had much competition with the MoC seemingly attempting to do the bare minimum at all costs. (Lottery, Awards, repeat, repeat, repeat, prove nothing was stolen.) They'd add a lot of colour and light-heartedness and they'd also be tasked with keeping the public on my side (A monstrous task)
To be honest, I don't know what I would do to the MoImm. It's another department that I feel people use to boss other people around and for their own personal gain. There's never really been a stand out MoImm because it would be almost impossible. Such an irrelevant job.
Obviously I'd be Supreme Commander and hopefully last more than 3 days so ignorant fools like Death And Taxes would finally shut up.
Well there you have it. I might have forgotten a Department of two, I don't take much notice in the irrelevant ones.
Hope you enjoyed and agree.
P.S I'd like to hear who you would have instead if any.
P.S.S I was going to add funny pictures but said f*ck, I'll be buying votes anyway. Lol jks

and if my aunt had bollocks she would be my uncle
Thanks for the big-up OJ. To be put in the same bracket as donut is much appreciated. Although it's funny to be considered suitable for a post you consider to be relatively useless and with little esteem. Who knows, maybe if you valued the community a bit more you might have lasted longer in the CP job?
doubt it lol
sh*t c*nt
I was impeached cause of my MoD choice.
and rightly so, herd he's a sh*t c*nt
He did value the community, he chose the best Minister for Defence available, and then Congress threw a hissy fit.
Sounds legit.
And he was forever a changed man after that.
JJ wasn't the best, he supplied his cronies with weapons and everyone else got nothing, he was a scumbag through & through
John Jay? I hate that prick. but why bring him up?
That would be a good line up, I think, and, in the case of a lousy CP, help keep things balanced and working smoothly.
I heard you were running for CP. o/
You can add me as Minister of Mischief 😐
Oy, I wanted to be the Minister of Mischief! 🙂
Too late 😐
Darn it. I call dibs on being Minister of Ranting.
Luka, come back and kick MUFC out of EA for us lad
Sweet is undoubtedly a better economist than I, I was only ever good because I was meticulous in terms of record keeping and budgeting...
My secret is: I'm a ravenous capitalist. How can some carebear ever hope to compete?!
: P
Meh, what you do in eRepublik isn't capitalism, though the same techniques are capitalist in the real world, they don't exploit anyone but the admins in-game.
I'll have you know I exploited entire nations for eIrish benefit
Not the smartest...cheers mate.
That would be an amazing cabinet that would get shit done, im sick to death of this ill give me mate a job even though they are bloody useless.
Voted now run for CP man.
You know I love you 😛
Haha I know man, so....word around the water cooler is your running.
Wouldn't last 3 days..as experience shows
You'd last three days now
Great thing about eIreland is that we only have around 100 active citizens, but we have players who are world class in their respective fields. When we aren't fucking up because of internal conflict, that's what turns eIreland's quaint military into a valuable alliance asset.
MoD, MoF, and MoFA are the fundamentals of good government.
MoC, MoNC, and MoE aren't vital but are nice to have, especially in a small nation like ours.
Internal conflict is our problem for sure. We just don't seem to get the idea that we can have different opinions without the other guy being a total jerk for some reason. Not that there are not total jerks around here but we should be able to figure out a way to fix this. We do have amazing people here in Ireland.
That would be an exceptional cabinet.
MoC would be looking to hire Tony Bagels
Well Tony Bagels would not be available for the third week in April. Other than that.....
I agree with the VP/Prime Minister thing.
I spent about half my term as Prime Minister having no idea I was Prime Minister and the other half continuing to do nothing.
The rest of it is not my cup of tea but that's just my two cents.
Shouldn't it be " The Orange Menace" by the way?
God call.
God told you to name it the Red Menace?
No, it was a God Tier call.
I mean.. I was a decent MoImm and i don't boss people around 😉
