I Live in a Land Down Under
Cody Caine
The Arrival
After the long Sea voyage with Gibbs, Roscoe the T-Rex and that Giant Panda, I arrived in eAustralia, I went to look for a place to live, but got distracted for an hour by this sign
but after inspecting that sign, I found a nice home
It is no Kennedy Compound but it will have to do, so once I got inside I flushed my toilet several times just to watch the water spin
I must admit it was a waste of time, but I was bored, and I never liked to unpack, so while I pretended to be sick, some really furry kids I found in the area unpacked for me,
and I paid them for it.
So after all that was situated I waited by the phone to see when my citizenship would be granted, while I waited I joined the country forum, had some talks with friends in IRC, read portcolumbus latest article, took a nap, woke up fought in a battle or two, and finally my citizenship was approved, so naturally I had a party.
The Party
But not many people showed up, what do you expect, first day in a new country, all your friends are back in the old country, you don't have many new friends, but at least eAustralian Prime Minister Lancer450 was there for a bit, with his secret service. As the night went on Molly Jo showed up, girl must have a private jet or contacts in high places, she'll try and deny it, but my Security camera caught her.
The Camera may film in black and white, but that dress is awesome.
While Molly stayed the night, to watch me work on my new citizen avatar, and this
she really is a supportive...um... whatever we are to each other.
Anyway in the morning, I took her to the airport and she boarded her super jet back to eAmerica
confirming she does have one badass private jet plane.
A Party of a different sort
After the fun of the arrival and the party was over, it was down to business picking which eAustralian Political party to join, after ruling out the inoffensive party because honestly the name just didn't have any pop, next I cut the A.C.P. I just don't like Commis, after some more thought I took KnightHawks Military Council off the list, as I am still a member of The Revolutionary Army, so it wouldn't feel right to join another military unit based party. That left things down to 5 possibilities, after looking at info and statistics on the reminding five I next removed the O.R.P. for they are the current smallest party, just didn't seem like the place for me at this point in time, but I do thank them for the nice PM they sent me. So it came down to Australian Independent, Green and Gold Party, Australia National Party, and Australian Libertarian Party. After much more thought I decided while the ANP was good enough to make final 4, the lack of information on its eRep Page was concerning, so they were out though they have a nice logo. the ALP was recommended by my friend SMF93, and Adam Beck was nice enough to chat with me on IRC, but at this time I've done the smaller party, and for the time I'd like to see the functions of a top 5 party. So that left it down to two. At this point I flipped a coin
Ok just kidding, I actually looked at both parties information and while the A.I. is the number one party, and my friend lancer is the Party President there, I decided to go with the Green and Gold Party, because should I decide to run for congress during my stay down under, they seem like a supportive bunch.
Final Thoughts and Quote of the Article
My stay in eAustralia has just begun, and on a positive note they have been a welcoming group of people, I've added at least 10 new friends, the overall transition into the country has been a good one, at least so far.
Also today I received my 7th super-solder achievement, and bought more storage space for my land.
In terms of Radio News my 15th show is scheduled for the 12th at 20:00 eRep time. The Agenda for said show will be released on show day, though for the readers feel free to suggest show agenda topics, so far Kooguy has one segment reserved where I will discuss why members of the Revolutionary Party should vote for him to be the next Party President. And I will be on the Jon Malcom show at some point this week as well.

Welcome o/
I'll keep the Kennedy Compound warm and ready for you to return.
welcome
once you realise how mad crumpets is, look us up over at #anp.
darn, now they all know about my awesome jet.
Aww been here 5 minutes and now I have to organise the crushing of this fellow at the ballot box. I actually liked this guy eLIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!
what now?
TJ be mad that the GnG have overtaken the ANP in Congress.
No need to worry about TJ's delusional ranting : P
You made the right choice with the Party, Cody 🙂
Voted and haha extra quote is funny. Have fun in your stay down under as I shall now attend to Revolutionary Army duties
LOL Cal don't hate because I didn't join your Prep school of a party.
What Cal neglects to always mention is that the GnG are traditionally a minor party who only came to a meteoric rise on the back of a long run of ANP in government with the help of PTO support from the AI. The swing will return and the Australian Democrats in the RL Senate will have more seats than the GnG the time next election comes around.
That is .. unless you plan for the country to be wiped again and intervene on the whoopin' coming your way? ;-o)
Not for nothing, I won the last Speakership in spite of a congress that was overwhelmingly hostile towards the ANP. They could have put up a candidate any time they wanted - but didn't want to. You mad bro? LOL!
this has nothing to do with me, so could you not spam my article?
You guys are like the SHM of eAustralia
Welcome, I'm actually Hyuu thankyou for promoting me Noyst. GnG is a good choice : D
Fair point, Cody. Just letting you know what you're in for.

Don't feel bad. I've been hanging around eAus for years, or at least trying to follow what has been going on while I have been off having fun pretending to be a citizen of other countries. And these days I really have no clue what any of the parties stand for anymore.

I do appreciate all the welcome comments.
Voted! You are a great writer.
Molly, I need to borrow that Jet for "Congressional functions", and that's all I can say. Please refer all costs to the Congressional Budget office.

g'day
