Introduction
Evening all, I am well overdue an update article as it's been a couple of weeks. So time for some words.
However please do remember you can check on the many facets of Government activity here in the eUK Public Records of Government Decisions and Spend. I do regularly keep this as up to date so if you ever wonder what Government has been doing between updates, keep this link handy.

UK/Croatia/Greece/Ireland Training War Agreement
As you'll be aware swathes of the UK are once again free and there are ongoing organised battles taking place. This is as a result of our Training War agreement with Croatia, Greece and Ireland is all put in place with training wars with Greece and Croatia already started and taking place.

Our Training War Benefits
As a reminder this agreement is good for the UK when compared to the most realistic alternatives as it'll bring;
> More opportunity for gold for UK fighters
> An increase in our medal revenue stream
> A return of UK tax revenue when under occupation
> Government's focus can be working with Congress and others to look to improve our player support and community.
> Congressional Representation

Foreign Affairs and MPPs
With Congressional support, my Government has strengthened our MPP stack to provide us with a more certain future in this new world and to draft in some support in managing any training wars when needed. This could be especially if training war requirements require the UK to win direct battles.
My Government also feels the need to re-show our value as good allies so it'd be good to be able to better direct UK fighter in supporting allies via MPPs when requested by our allies.
So far we've signed MPPs with;
Indonesia
Iran
France
Netherlands
Spain

My Government will continue to explore with Congress opportunities to sign further MPPs. It is an aim of my Government to more fully utilise the amount of Allied Forces we can deploy.

Next days focus
My Government will work with the newly elected Congressional members and those who retained their seats on matters of foreign affairs, player support and what passions and motivations that drove them to click the "candidate" button to attract your votes.
My Government with help prepare the Country for whatever Halloween, Day 4000, eRep Anniversary and Black Friday may bring. Individually, if you are a producer certainly food I'd carefully consider any marketplace listings you hold or will put on in the next couple of weeks. As there could be some larger than normal profits to be had.
"What you want" - A big benefit of a democracy is I'm here to represent your needs, so happy to take suggestions on where my Government's focus should be.

Comments

Training wars look like the best outcome we could expect from being wiped, so congrats to all involved on negotiating that. Glad to hear the details at last and see that we're being refunded lost revenue.
Also good to see we're returning to having MPPs.
One thing missing - as Chaz pointed out a week or two ago, focusing entirely on our own TWs doesn't endear us to our allies. Can we get more updates on what's happening beyond our borders, and where we can help? At this point I don't really have a clear idea of who our current allies are, and I have no clue at all what's a TW and what's an actual war. I'd be happy to do my part in making the eUK more visible to our allies, but right now if I dive in and fight for an ally I'm more likely to be ruining someone's TW than coming to their rescue...
Apologies if I preempt Huey here. The current situation is my fault really; I lost my temper at the situation we were put in and was ultimately put in my place.
Our 'allies' are busy elsewhere given strategic importance and was unable to convince otherwise; I hope huey is doing ok.
Kudos for stepping forward and accepting the blame, but at this point the "current situation" doesn't seem that bad - we have training wars being conducted on reasonable terms, complete with return of tax revenue, and they're against countries that allow us to retain an MPP stack this time. The wipe sucked, but we're back now, so Huey's doing a decent job as far as I can see.
I'm more concerned about our standing in the international community come the next crisis, as well as addressing the boredom of just pissing damage into the TWs. What's the collection of TP medals and BH medals and gold and CC and rank points all for if we're just using it all to bat regions back and forward between us, Greece, Croatia and Ireland? There are 128 battles on the war page right this minute. I have absolutely no idea which, if any, I can actually have an affect on this game in. If I have to wait until the next invasion of the eUK to put down any meaningful damage again, I'm likely to die of boredom in the meantime.
I'm unable to provide a decent excuse beyond blind community loyalty/morbid curiosity at this point
I'm in complete agreement, more updates on what's happening beyond our borders, and where UK citizens can help is vital. I've had a couple of attempts to kick-start this information however they haven't met with much success as of yet.
I'll check in with thedark ace as after his appointment to MoFA we had agreed that he'd publish some articles initially in regards to foreign affair analysis. So the more why things are occurring or maybe, even more, the basics of the current set of alliances and power balance to improve the UK's citizenry understanding.
Then as he gets more into the role and there is more information from a UK's perspective that needs providing he'll hopefully be more up to speed on things.
I'll also spend some time personally familiarising myself with global politics.
It'd be great to support a citizen like yourself and other to have an affect in critical allied battles where possible to raise the eUK world standing o7
A timely and well presented update o7
Ta fer update
o7
nice one!
Good work Huey!
