Join the new world

After a calm couple of days during Holidays it's time now to make a strong kick off in the New Year as well. My term is coming to an end, but I'm sure we'll keep going strongly as there's a brilliant team around me capable of maintaining the work. We've seen some great improvements during the December and there are many reasons to be an optimist about January as well.

All of our import and VAT taxes has been lowered to 1% now. There's a perfectly valid reason for it and it's quite simple. Our demand has been increasing a lot lately. We've seen Ireland dealing 500% more damage than just a month before, we have many new tanks, our citizens has started to buy much more packs which increases the demand as well. Our home production isn't big enough to cover for it, supply in the markets has been decent, but at some times we just couldn't offer enough tanks. Hopefully, this tax changes are going to increase the amount of cheap tanks in our markets and will be able to feed the tanks with weapons.

In the other news, our treasury has been filling up very fast due to TW with Finland, they have huge a GDP due to their concession deals which means that we're collecting a serious money in there. All this money needs to be returned to the Finns and we'll be doing so couple of times a month. Our Congressmen has been proposing the donations quite often and that's really nice. This habit needs to be adopted by all the TD's.

Our orgs and other infrastructure things has been resetted, we're going to start with the trade soon now as well. Since we're still kinda new to this whole Training war madness and tax returns, it took us a while to get used to it. Our MoFA, Oh Damn has took charge of keeping the records. Once we're all set up you may expect financial reports once again. New project could soon be on its way as well.

During my term most of the wars has been training wars. We have simple rules since all of our TW's are ping pong wars. Our MoD, Duce FA is going to publsih the TW map with more detailed rules so it's always somewhere around for a reminder.

We're hosting Argentina, Taiwan, Serbia and South Africa in our territory, ping pong wars are going through Shannon, Louth and Northern Ireland. We're always defending those three regions and they're always a priority in here. Our fifth TW is taking place in Finland where we hold a small island called Aland, that's another priority for us. Basicly, whenever you see the four mentioned regions it means we need to win that one. Our cooperation with TW partners has been great. All of them are returning the taxes back to us.

The only real battle happenned in Northern Ireland after UK CP has given us the ultimatums about controlling our own fighters. Our MoFA has explained the reasons for the war pretty well in THIS ARTICLE. At this moment we're in several talks about the region, but it serves us great to make TW's go faster. Having Northern Ireland means that Argentina can have a ping pong over there, so it reduces traffic in Louth and Shannon, those two regions are being used by the other three partners in our territory.

All the stats we have are showing massive increases in everything. Our Congress activity has been high, our ground and air damage has risen for over 500% during the last 30 days. Our diplomatic influence and activity in the global affairs has been increased after joining Pacifica where we actively try to improve some things, especially the activity of the members. Pacifica has been nothing, but a good place for us to be and we're happy to be the part of such a nice alliance. It's been a while since both Ireland and Pacifica really did much of the alliance stuff except the TW's so things are going slowly as expected there. I'm sure there's going to be much more things to work on together in the future. The thing we're currently working on is building an infrastructure that'll enable all the Pacifica members to farm more efficient.

Things around the eWorld are quite dull. Almost all the wars are Training wars, most of the damage is being controlled by one side and most of the attempts to jeopardize it goes unsuccessful. The most recent ones are Croatian Airstrikes on Lithuania that according to Croats started by Lithuanians attacking them after agreeing to a deal, while Lithuanians are claiming that they weren't obligated to avoid Croatia. Anyway, the rest of CODE is sleeping, the rest of Asteria and Pacifica are farming.

There's also a new alliance called DWARF, started by Cyprus and Georgia. Seems like they're going to try to find their way to the freedom by going independent. Their main goal is to help the small countries.

Hopefully, another MoFA article will be published soon so you'll get a bigger briefing on what's going on in the world, even though there's not much really.
