Hello Everyone!
So a few days ago I took a big step and moved out of the eUS to explore some other countries. It was tough to leave behind the familiar and the routine but I have just grown so sick of what eUS politics has become that I thought it might be time for something new.
I know the tension that exists between eUS and eUK and if some of my old friends and colleagues 'across the pond' want to disown me because of my new home, that is their prerogative. Personally I am just looking for a place where I can contribute in some way, maybe that place will be the eUK, maybe I will grow weary of fighting against my native land and move on. Regardless, if given citizenship here in the eUK I will not work to subvert their way of life nor will I denounce my former home. I will simply do what I can to contribute to this proud nation.
I also decided that my new locale called for a change in avatar as well. I'm still rocking the Gerard Butler theme, because he is a BAMF, but I thought a more subtle, less aggressive look was in order (assuming eRep actually loaded my new pic...they sometimes fail at that).
I look forward to my time here in the land of my RL ancestors, the home of the Beatles and King Arthur, Dr. Who and Margaret Thatcher.
If giving citizenship I intend to join The Unity Party, from what i have read about them and the few members I have talked to they seem like a solid group of people committed to fighting for the ideals that I hold dear.
Thank you for your time and God Bless

Have fun.
Good luck. If you hated the eUS's petty politics then, uh, have fun in the eUK, lol.
haha i know right? 😛
>I have just grown so sick of what eUS politics has become that I--
... moved to the eUK?
Are you crazy? XD
Or maybe you're a ... lol. 😉
Anyhow, it looks like your newspaper location is still USA. You may want to change that to United Kingdom, lol.
Love Doctor Who. <3

I didn't move to the UK and I won the lottery.
Daniel, I hate to see you go, and as far as I'm concerned, you are and will always be a great American. I do operate a nonprofit organization based in the eUK called the Society of Compass Rose. You are welcome to work with us as we try to help players in the eUK - our efforts are quite modest, and definitely a lower priority than our eUSA operation.
I'll be happy to endorse whatever political ventures you may have. From what I've seen, TUP is probably the best of the eUK parties. UKRP is too nationalist (you can ask AJ how that worked out for him), and then you have the commies. eUK faces some of the same issues - like rebuilding hospitals - as the eUSA, but they do tend to handle things differently over there. They have a better balance between the national and regional level, and the one hallmarks of their system that makes it different from here are the regional councils, which do many of the things that parties are trying to do here in the eUSA. Obviously you have all the Phoenix Fail stuff to contend with, but my organization stays out of that. We like to support candidates with original approaches, not just the eUK oligarchical equivalents of the eUSA fortress state zombies.
Dr Who=amazing(i just started watching though)
Switched paper location to UK haha
Astra I am a bit crazy and I consider the majority of this game to be lol so yeah....we'll see how the UK goes, if nothing else I am looking forward to smaller politics(less people,smaller country,etc)
