DO NOT follow battlescripts sent to you via PM. These were NOT authorized by myself, the Minister of Defence, or the Chief of Staff.
We will give you an update as we know more.
Thank you.

1. Statement of Position
2. Outline of why we are taking that position
3. What is our next step?
Statement of Position
We are taking a non-agressive stance with Poland.
What That Means
This means we will not be deploying divisions to aid the UK against the Polish invasion. From our correspondence with Eden, the attack is in response to WWIII when the UK attacked the US. Since we were not involved in WWIII we would not be a target.
However, if we support the UK, that would be seen as an act of aggression by Poland and then they would invade us.
Next Steps
We are staying the course. We will continue to make ourselves stronger through population growth, ranking up, and building infrastructure. All of these things will make us less appealing to attack and give us a strategic advantage when the new module comes online.
I feel your pain, I do. I am eager to get involved in a conflict or two myself, but this is not the one for us to get involved with. There are plenty of other places we can deploy troops for better effect.
So what can you do? Simple.
1. Work, Train, Fight at every opportunity
2. Volunteer at the State Hospital Company to build the next Q5 hospital
3. Encourage people to come to Ireland
Each and every one of us has a part to play in making this nation stronger. Let's make sure we are doing our part to the fullest.
For Ireland!

Good plan.
I will only recognise orders from a president of a 32 county socalist republic
Nice
Disgusting.
Question:
If Poland and EDEN conquer the UK, is it possible we will join EDEN?
(We could still fulfill that NI national goal)

For Ireland!
We'd be much better off to stand against imperialism rather than play politics with this one. The UK will not stay down. They are as ripe for a baby boom as anyone and when they get one, and vault back into the top 5, guess which nation they'll obliterate first...
EDEN is the most hypocritical alliance I have seen since I started playing this game last March. This is a mistake.
Longbaugh, the butthurt American that left America because he got pwnd.
lulz
Well, I do know well some polish citizens (hell, one of them even invited me to the eRepublik through Ultima Online) and I do sympathise with them, so I'm glad we won't be fighting against them 🙂
PP, socalist is a epic fail. most of the time i never works.
and great to hear we will not be helping UK, can we help Poland.
and DT, i am already lunching rockets acorss the bordor
@jeepamerica: i lold
@ JeepAmerica
I'm not getting into this months-old argument. And, I'm, not going to let your petty antics drag me into it. However, I will be waiting for you to prove me wrong.
Though, just like way-back-when... I'm betting you ignore my request for logical discussion and instead continue to resort to tired insults. Go on little one. Go on and remind me why I left...
@ PeePee
You're a national joke. No one brings RL politics into this game more than you (at least no one in Ireland); and, your latest article is a fine example.
Would have liked to see the IDF take part but I understand the diplomatic reasons behind the move.
Same ole Ireland....playing it safe...keeping excitement at bay, promoting boredom.
Nice plan.
Why do I have to have a logical conversation with a person that got so butthurt that he had to become a traitor? Does that not come off as a little... I don't know... illogical?
Excellent response. I hope to God things work out okay.
@Padraig: I just realised you reminded me of someone with your comments. The Covey from the play Plough and the Stars by Sean O'Casey! 🙂
...well of course you remind me of the real Padraig Pearse too obviously! 🙂
Appeasing Irish are appeasers.
@ JeepAmerica
Despite what your big American head and ego might lead you to believe, America doesn't own its citizens forever. I moved to Indonesia as an Irishman, not an American. No treason was ever committed.
What's funny is how the lies initially built up that I was selling information to PEACE GC... and then, as time went on with no shred of evidence whatsoever, the lies slowly transformed into: "Well, you're a traitor because you moved away."
If you can't prove a detractor wrong, then the detractor is right. If you're not going to even bother then sod off; and keep your grubby American hands out of Irish affairs. It only makes sense that you'd be on Padraig's good side. I sure as hell am not.
thank you for this.
Edana... I am disappointed with your decision... I voted for you solely for the goal which you originally intended... to take back what belongs to the great Irish Empire!... And here we are, with the six lost counties dangling in front of us like ripe, juicy apples ready to drop into our hungry gobs! Let's not play Halloween games! Let's do what we set out to do... and take back what is ours!
The UK never attacked the USA dring WW3, why does everyone say that?
Why Ireland ;____;
Our longest allies left in the dark to a POWER HUNGRAY bully fair play eIreland another chance of doing doing something INDEPENDENT wasted.
Interdiction with aide?
Ireland, I am dissapoint
This Governement is Disapointing me
We stand tall to defend Greece against Turkey back in June/July of last year against "Imperialism" but we forsake our neighbors? This IS Imperialism. It is irresponsible to not lend a hand to the U.K. we have social-economic bonds made. We could become the adjudicators in a Europe in flames. Germany and France were "weak" adversaries and easily conquered. We are certainly not defending the little-guy here. People are running their mouths off about certain things, but our military Goals were a "Mistake" not an opportunity.
BUT, we should be receiving 500Gold from the broken treaty we had from the U.K.
What Ireland is going to do next

Longbaugh, that's a cool story bro, but denying everything isn't that cool.
@Pip
Called it, knew you were a Penix supporter.
I am Irish - member of eCongress for eNorthern Ireland - and will be resisting the invasion of mainland Britain with everything I have.
I would urge any balanced eIrish citizens to do the same.
My advice is to disregard anyone who attempts to bring any RL snles into the dbate about which side to back - better to consider eRepublik history where eUK has been a good neighbour consistently throughout the history of the game. Who would you prefer to have running N Ireland - us or the Poles?
CC
ePoland invades eUK for their abuses primitive jokes about national emblems and disrespect we see no need to invade eIreland furthermore we reckon Irish and Scotish nations as friends not enemies
regards
ePolish citizen
Do we really expect eUK to baby boom to 50k plus? Unless they do they are screwed. And we will burn with them if we step up to fight now. We should stay away from this conflict and I fully support this administrations decision. terrific work edana.
After reading these comments I wonder if some people actually read the articles or if they just read the headline and go straight to the comments?
Or is it this sentence that has you all up in arms?
"All of these things will make us less appealing to attack and give us a strategic advantage when the new module comes online."
This is about building our nation. And if you don't like it, too bad. I will not apologize for taking care of my people, and the protecting the country that I love. My loyalty is to Ireland first, as it should be.
@Jeep America: Penix Supporter? Utter BS for reasons I PM'ed you 😉
With all due respect Edana we have never built much sitting on the fence ALL the time
I hope you don't expect help from any nations if we ever are invaded.
Ireland has to choose a side
I understand we dont fight in Asia etc
But now they are fighting next door and it would be wrong if we or help our neighbour or join the attackers
War is just a few kilometers away and eIreland still doesnt do a thing
How do you expect we should ever get a babyboom? How should we get a babyboom if we all we fight in are TW?
We have to choose a side
UK has been a long time friend to us yet we do almost nothing for them we might risk takeover yet i think this is the right thing to do to fight off poland
FREE GERMANY!
FREE FRANCE!
uhmm Ok!
Nice one, Mrs President. As a citizen of eIreland and native Pole (living in Poland, of course), I fully sympathize with you and support your decision.
It's wise not to provoke today's superpower and, probably, tomorrow's superempire.
Longbaugh, we can say a lot about EDEN, both in postive and negative manner. Personally I don't think, that EDEN is more hypocritical than any other alliance, especially Phoenix.
But, you know, this game is about war, not - liking or disliking somebody. eIreland is too small to be rightful member of any alliance (you can see, how much Phoenix care about small countries; is it nice or fun?), so avoiding open conflict with ePoland is for our/yours country a matter of life and death. eFrance, eGermany, eSlovenia and eBulgaria have fallen despite all the MPP they signed. Tell me please, how many time would ePoland need in order to conquer the entire eIreland?
To fight imperialism, how nice to say...
But it's nothing but a mere daydreaming.
P.S. Sorry for possible linguistic mistakes.
If they will get UK, u will be next, sooner or later eireland will disapear from the emap.
The UK didn't attack the US in ww3, please don't spread garbage likt that. I respect your decision to stay out of this, But spreading lies I don't respect.
"This means we will not be deploying divisions to aid the UK against the Polish invasion. From our correspondence with Eden, the attack is in response to WWIII when the UK attacked the US. Since we were not involved in WWIII we would not be a target.
However, if we support the UK, that would be seen as an act of aggression by Poland and then they would invade us."
LOL, what a brave President you elected!!!
Well , Seems it's time we learn Polish...
since we already learnt English..

Will you stop with the hateful bigoted RL politics. In eRepublik the eUK has been a good neighbour, end of story. and you want to swap that for a nation that is on a meglomaniac blaze? Help the eUK or we are next!
