War. Ok, but... what kind of war do we want?
Pechorin
Less than 10 hours to finish the vote and starts the war. Our representatives have been voting to support this war and now the whole nation is going to figth.
I suppose that this is ok for the majority of the society (seeing the congressist's support is easy to get that conclusion) and I have been reading many articles and proclamations and pamphlets about that topic. After all the reading there is at least one thing missing for me, a simple citizen of Florida, what kind of war do we want?
There will be people who wants to conquer Mexico in order to go south and have more targets; others will want to conquer some territories and give them back later (with a RW included). Everybody has its own idea about this war and I would like to participate as well.
I would like to have a organized war with a short range of targets and as many people involved as we can.
Organized war:
- I would like to contact with the Mexican government to request them to move the population of the regions where we are going to attack firts in order to reduce the "height" of the wall.
- I would like to propose to the mexican army to move to USA to participate in the attack (if they support the attack of course)
- I would like to see how the government is planning the political impact of having some new regions and a different distribution of the congress's seats.
Short range of targets:
- I would like to know if the government is thinking about how many regions they want to conquer and why.
People involve😛
- I understand that the USA army is prepared for this war so I guess that they are going to make the most part of attacks, but what about other people? Is this war to be a USA army's war or a people's war?
I know that is easy to make questions, especially when one is new, and I don't know if you people are already discussing these topics. As a citizen, I strongly believe in civic participation and the rigth and duty of asking the government about their plans.

Spanish resume:
La guerra contra México parece que va a ser finalmente aprobada y por la lectura de los medios cuenta con mucho apoyo. Lo que ahora debemos plantearnos no es simplemente si apoyamos o no la guerra, sino como queremos que se haga esa guerra.
El gobierno debe explicar a la ciudadania si está en contacto con los mexicanos, que planes tiene para el conflicto y como afecta a los ciudadanos.
Pechorin, citizen/ciudadano.

I seriously doubt the government of Mexico will do anything. As far as things are concerned, they have not responded in any official capacity that I have seen.
Also, unless the Admin fixes the glitch, we cannot conquer all of Mexico anyway.
Good questions Pechorin. Let's hope to see some good answers.
Voted!!!

We have also detected missing borders like in the case of "The Northwest", a region of Mexico that has only 4 borders, when it should have 8 neighbors.
Next week, on day 468 of the New World, the required corrections will be presented in the "Updates" forum topic. The announced New World borders will be implemented on day 470.
the mexican people are too small to make a great difference in terms of hte wall size, most of them are inactive and thus can't be moved even it if was worth it-the wall will not be a problem with 300 citizens total in the nation (or so).
Purposes of the War:
Experience, as always!
Hopefully to get rid of a few corrupt congressman as well (invaders mainly from Poland).
The number of territories and which ones are classified, congress doens't know that either but I'm sure we'll see. As it's mainly a war for exp I don't see more than 2 territories being attacked.
Political Impact: not much as I don't see us taking over that many regions... with the low population we can easily get an eUS person in there.
Takeover?
No, we have no reason for a takeover as they have nothing we need resource wise, so we may hold on to some extra territories but I doubt we will be after a takeover.
This war is to be a BOTH war, as usual, but mainly a people's war. We should be able to easily defeat them. Only need to bring out the big guns of PEACE sends tanks over to defend them.
This is the humble opinion of one congressman and not NECESSARILY the way it will go down.
honestly, who would have thought we'd see americans jumping over the border fence?
I fear for Indo's or any one else holding a grudge joining the Mexican wall for the sake of slowing, or possibly stopping, our advance.
This is one of those cases where, as politicians have a knack of saying, "We MUST be united on this cause!".
@Markus_A: We should as the USA ambassador in Mexico about that 😉
@Pablolopez14: gracias por los ánimos compañero!!
@ Aren Perry:
First of all, thanks for the answer Mr. congressist. I know that Mexico is a not very populated country, it has been like that since always, but I consider that this is a good reason to talk drectly with them (we don't have to send many messages)
Experience is good reason, a laudable reason, but about other reasons, I don't know. I understand also that there is some information classified, that is normal, but maybe the government or the Congress could say more about objetives. Something more I mean.
About political impact: I read before elections some people complaining about foreigners running for the Congress, maybe it would be much easier to do that in some regions where is very easy to win because the lack of population? Think about it.
@jasonalwaysready: that's the good thing about eR, borders without fences 😛
@Blue Holt: when a war starts there are figthers coming from the whole eWorld and Indo's people like war more than nothing (except say pertamax, maybe). So, they will go and they will figth but never supporting us and that's nothing we should care very much.
Pechorin, no t'oblidem aquí eh! molta sort i molt bona feina! cuida't!
