What's going on in other Ministries?
Health Ministry – The Health Ministry's gift reserve is running low and as a result the performance of the Gifting Program has been affected. Hopefully the reopening of State Gifts should tackle this problem.
Ministry of New Citizens – Starks Hayter has published two articles aimed at helping new citizens. The first one can be found here. The second one can be found here.
Ministry of Education – AppleMan is recruiting teachers, the article can be found here. If you want to know what classes are currently available or want to sign up to one, please go here: http://forum.erepublik-ie.com/viewforum.php?f=20
Ministry of Defence – 5n4keyes has been appointed Minister of Defence to replace Igor Thunderbrow. 5n4keyes intends to redesign the Irish Defence Forces and a discussion on it can be found here: http://forum.erepublik-ie.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=525
Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Kiemar has been in contact with the MoFA of the United Kingdom regarding a training war between Ireland and United Kingdon versus Canada. The discussion is still ongoing and plans are still being made.
Ministry of State Companies – Currently they are 108 workers working for Irish State Weapons and has 1894 Q1 weapons in stock. Irish State Housing is employing 191 workers and has 13 Q1 houses in stock. Irish State Gifts is the only state company currently offering jobs and is employing 52 citizens so far. As I have mentioned above Artaxerxes Pavonis has put forward a state company plan to sell state houses and export state weapons abroad.
A Population in Decline?
They are currently 1950 citizens in eIreland. The population boom has clearly ended and the population of eIreland has been slowly but consistently dropping for a while now. Furthermore, in comparison to last month, a lot less people join eIreland everyday (the number of employees in State Gifts is a reflection of this).Taught I'd throw that out there.
If you haven't already please join the eIreland forum and engage with discussions.
As always, I am open to suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated. If any minister wants me to include further information from their ministry, feel free to pm me. Finally, please vote this article so that more citizens get to be informed
🙂

As always a very informitive article good work Severin
Top notch as usual, thanks
Good article again Sev.
Great article, informative and comprehensive once more.
On the last point, it's interesting that the population is dropping just as the baby boomers are really taking the reins of power. Certainly, at the risk of hyperbole or cliché, we seem to be entering a new era in eIreland politics.
Thank you Severin, great job. And congrats on your win as PP.
"Both PsyderEyes and cleansteve, formerly representing the Irish Socialist Republican Party in Congress, have resigned as Congressmen. They are now 34 people left in Congress."
Just a note, both of these members have left the country and will be not running for congress this month.
I think we can fairly safely attribute the baby boom to the 'google' adverts for eRepublik which ran during Feb/March (which have now stopped and been replaced by a game called Civony?). I think overall the injection of new blood to the game (myself included of course) has benefited eIreland greatly! but from now on we'll probably be relying less on new people joining the game for population growth. Which begs the question, how do we attract eRepublik citizens to eIreland, and do we even want to?
I think in relation to the drop in population and the adverts being stopped we al need to step in asking friends and pacing links on other webpages(bebo,myspace,facebook)
just taught id throw that in there
Good stuff.
Thanks all.
Well done, im gonna try get myseld more involved with this enation now ive been a quiet membere so far. 🙂
