[eUK - CP] - Update Day 4,147
10 Downing Street
Introduction
An update on my efforts to improve the Coordination British Armed Forces, some thoughts on the debate surrounding UK citizenship and the recent influx of new citizens into our community and to share some amendments to our Training War Agreements
British Armed Forces Coordination Channels
Communication channels for the coordination of our British Armed Forces have been established.
We have an in-game message involving 10 citizens to coordinate UK damage for the UK and her allies. UK fighters can also ask questions, seek guidance and help about how best to coordinate your damage with other UK fighter - Please complete the British Armed Forces Coordination survey to be included.
We have a new Discord server involving 7 citizens. Here is a link to the British Armed Forces Coordination - Discord Server
The server channel structure is fairly simple;
Three "Command" channels where with permissions can post orders and links and those confirmed as UK fighters can check where you should be directing your damage in ground battles and aircraft battles for the UK or her allies and where to start resistance wars.
A general channel where UK fighters can post to ask questions, seek guidance and help about how best to coordinate your damage with other UK fighters
Please note until you complete the British Armed Forces Coordination survey or confirmed as a UK fighter your visibility of the server will be limited.
We have Telegram Group where you can check where you should be directing your damage in ground battles and aircraft battles for the UK or her allies. You can also ask questions, seek guidance and help about how best to coordinate your damage with other UK fighters. Click this link to join the British Armed Forces Command Group
Finally the communication channels above will be used in conjunction with national wall feed shouts.
From humble beginnings we can build something that can really help coordinate UK damage for the UK and her allies. Once I get membership / interest up in more coordination of our military efforts I will increase efforts to find us some battles to test this coordination.
Finally another request from me for you to please complete the British Armed Forces Coordination survey
This will help my Government create schemes to reward your military development and give out rewards to those who regularly attend coordinated strikes
We have been very good at this in the past, so I'd like to try and rekindle our past success.
Amendment to our Training War Agreements
We have agreed a few amendments with our training war partners Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania to help manage determination bonus for you all to be aware of
With Bulgaria
Bulgaria wins direct battles in London, East of England and South East of England and the UK wins subsequent Resistance Wars battles. *Tip Resistance wars can be started 24 hours after the region has been conquered and are open for any UK citizen to start if you are located in the region
With Macedonia
Macedonia wins direct battles in West Midlands, South West of England and Wales and the UK wins subsequent Resistance Wars battles. *Tip Resistance wars can be started 24 hours after the region has been conquered and are open for any UK citizen to start if you are located in the region
With Romania
Romania holds East Midlands, Resistance Wars can be started however they will fail.
You may have already noticed a change to the location of our TW partners in the UK, so I hope this helps explain it.
UK Citizenship
Congressional and public discussion has been very vibrant about the use of citizenship passes. We've recently seen a noticeable number of new citizen join our community which has generated the discussion on what this means for the future of the UK.
I try to remain open and impartial about most things. I do share some of the concerns voiced by some UK citizens about the "influx" of foreign citizens primarily as it seems so rapid and with limited impact on the UK overall damage as many remain loyal to foreign MUs however I know the UK has a great history of accepting foreign citizens and in return those citizens have gone on and really helped the UK.
I'd like us all to find a solution which pleases all on this one. I've contacted those most passionate about bringing new citizens to the UK to gather their thoughts on what a potential solution is so existing UK citizens feel more comfortable about new citizens arriving and new foreign citizens feel welcomed and can become more included into our existing MUs to help them best direct their damage for their new community. I've also continued to take note of existing UK citizens concerns and feel I should represent them as the Country President.
Overall I think a pause in accepting new citizens would be useful. Let everyone grow more use to each other. So we can all observe the growth in UK military strength and weekly damage, I appreciate we aren't in any real conflict however an increase in our damage would be noticed by allies and we could be asked more often to support allies in critical battles which would improve our reputation on the international scene.
It's also worth noting if any are just after the "power" of leading the UK, from my humble experience, power doesn't come from authority or position in the UK. It comes from activity, the relationships you form with the variety of groups within and outside of the UK, being seen as a leader and being able to walk a fine line between success and failure so can be quite easily accomplished without "buttons" to press.
Anyways my offer to all sides, is to work with you to help find a solution.
Player Support / Education
A reminder of current player support resource, schemes and guides
UK Tutorial
A reminder of the fantastic UK Tutorial mainly for new players however useful for all
'Help to Buy' a Q1 House scheme
All UK citizens should be using a Q1 house as currently, you should gain extra currency across the 7 days the house is active from working overtime, the house will allow you to regenerate energy quicker, and also boosts the total energy you can hold.
If you cannot afford a Q1 house please get in touch to see what support you can receive from my Government
Training Ground Loan Scheme
Upgrading your strength buildings is the best way to earn income as it allows you to receive Super Soldier medals much quicker. A Q4 Weights Room & Q4 Climbing Center (without any contract training) earns the most money of any training/contract combination. Together they will earn you 13.38g/month (0.446g/day) after you pay the daily training.
If you need a Training Ground loan (usually between 10 Gold and 30 Gold) please get in touch to see what support you can receive from my Government
Bank of England Monetary Market Trust
As a reminder, the Ministry of Finance is taking advantage of the gold price on the monetary market by operating a Bank of England Trust for citizens and allies to invest in.
Six citizens have invested into the Trust. The MoF place monetary market offers from a number of eUK Government Organisation reserved for use by the Bank of England. The monetary market profits have been agreed to be split 60% to the citizen and the remaining 40% for the Treasury to reinvest/store in reserves.
Please get in touch to discuss this further or declare your interested in investing into a Bank of England Trust.
Close
Sorry once again for the lack of images. Get in touch or comment if there is an issue important to you that you'd like my Government to address or look into.
Thanks for reading

How have congressional discussions been vibrant when BP members haven't been added? Disgusting suppression.
Have you had a chance to read this article posted by the Speaker of Congress, Sam? It might help explain your situation? Here is a link, hope it helps https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-speaker-so-i-joined-congress-but-it-s-awfully-quiet--2693734/1/20
I've sent the speaker multiple friend requests since joining the game.
Were you in Congress at that time? No. He didn't have to accept your request at that time if he didn't want to, I don't accept everyone's friend requests...
You have really covered all the subjects, which normally should be a job of various Government Ministries.
Considering the people in Government this term, I'd not expect anything from any of the Ministries so it's only to be expected that Huey does everything. 😉
This is an article that can only be written a sensible CP. I really appreaciate the approch and I believe this is a good spot to mention few things.
British Patriots is kinda new organisation. We don't seek PTO and even if we can understand the concerns we refuse all allegations in that matter. Currently we are trying to show our intention to cooperate in order to work together with other parties to improve current situation of United Kingdom. We are wide open everyone who wants to work with us. No matter what the claims are currently we are the top party in congress and like it or not this has to be respected by everyone. Let's work together without childish accusations. However I have to remind that we will strongly counter all attacks to our dignity with our full force.
With all these mentioned I like to thank you again for your non-biased wills and I wish you good luck for your future terms.
"British Patriots is kinda new organisation" ?
With the our new members yes it's kinda new.
You do understand that it's the party that was used as a PTO vehicle by the last lot who tried. They too were from the Balkan area... coincidence?
Perhaps if some of you in forig MUs moved to a British unit we might actually start taking the whole "we're not looking to PTO" spiel a little more seriously. You also may now be the top party in Congress but that doesn't mean you deserve respect. Respect has to be earned, and the actions of the mostly neither British nor Patriots under the leadership of Pargali doesn't suggest that you've earned any as a group. That's not to say that some individuals in the party aren't deserving of respect.
That's the main problem. Most of you started to accuse all of us ( members of BP ) as being a PTOer. First you have to give us a chance to prove ourselves. You are denying us from that option with these claims. So yes ofcourse we should be respected and we should and will defend ourselves againts these accusations. If we dont do that then I would be accepting all claims and I just can't do that.
What are we expected to think when there's a sudden massive influx of new citizens, all going to the same party? If there was a spread across the board, the concern would perhaps not be there. Couple this with the fact that two of the most active members of BP ("King" Willy and Pargali) are known PTOers, I think we have a right to have concerns.
You don't prove yourself by jumping straight in to Mongress.
Whether others want to see it, this is a PTO. Any other time in eUK's history and you'd have more people calling you out on it. It just so happens that you've found the eCountry where even the eNatives couldn't give a toss.
"Overall I think a pause in accepting new citizens would be useful. Let everyone grow more use to each other. So we can all observe the growth in UK military strength and weekly damage,"
I shall not hold my breath that this will be the case.
Yeah, it's only one section of the eUK using their passes on a regular basis. Then again, Huey is a weak man, so it's no surprise that he's weak on the issue.
