A Return to Civilization: First Strike
Civil Anarchy
Good Evening America,
I do hope you’re not too drained from the Congressional elections to deal with another pseudo-political article. To everyone who won, congratulations. Do your work and don’t be stupid. You’re one of the lucky 20% to get to serve, so don’t waste the opportunity. To those who lost, it sucks, I know. Losing an election is never fun, and you’ve basically got a free pass to just sulk it out today. Just remember to find the enthusiasm you had before for the next election, because all you need to be a strong Congressmen is the motivation and drive to your best. TO be entirely honest, one of the best ways to activate that drive is with a few losses. Losing a couple of elections was one of the reasons that I truly decided to become proactive as a Congressman, and many others have gone down that exact same path in the past. Keep Calm, and Carry On.
This month has been an interesting one, to say the least. Some people have compared it to the a soap opera, and to be honest, I can see the resemblance quite well. Plenty of intrigue, rumors, back room talk, and controversy around damn near every aspect of the term. From CTRL to CANAM II, our foreign policy has elicited everything but inaction from the American populace. Whether or not you agreed or disagreed with what happened, stood for it or stood against it, there’s one thing we can all agree on. Recent events have made the American Community more active than it’s been in quite some time. Whether or not that activity was worth the polarization that also resulted is a matter of personal opinion, but the fact is, we have been presented with a unique opportunity wherein the activity levels of our citizens can promote an adapted, ingenuitive, and effective foreign policy. The question is, however, what should that foreign policy be?
”Without Order, nothing can exist”
“Without Chaos, nothing can evolve.”
If I told you that the two sides of CANAM had an idea in common, you’d probably call me crazy. Yet the way I see it, there was definitely an underlying issue in the entirety of the conflict. Those who supported the war did so primarily because they were fundamentally unhappy with the direction of foreign affairs that we’ve been taking as a country. The key part of this statement is ‘Balkan War.’ Let’s be honest, constantly prioritizing repetitive, real life fueled, conflicts is not a healthy way to conduct our activities on the foreign front. It kills activity, perpetuates boredom, and takes the fun out of a war module that, let’s face it, is all we really have left.
On the other hand, there are those who opposed the war with Canada, based on the fact that it was, above all, almost entirely pointless. Canada was a former ally whose President wronged us diplomatically, but that was by no means casus belli to start a war. Canada didn’t fight for our enemies, nor did they possess any resources valuable to us. CANAM II was a rebellion against the status quo, which summarily caused another rebellion against the new status quo. The lesson of CANAM II seems to be that, while most people would agree dedicating 100% of our efforts to Balkan wars isn’t a productive usage of our energy, pointless wars to the north are, obviously, not a very productive use of our time either.
So what we can gather from this fact is that we need some sort of middle passage, something meaningful, but different. And if we look back, hasn’t this always been the intent of American Foreign Policy? We’ve never really had that constant mortal enemy, like our Eden counterparts. From CANAM I, to the Three Pillar Campaign, to the World Wars, to our invasions of Russia and Indonesia, PANAM/TERRA, and most recently, the Polish Campaign, we’ve been in a constant search for a tangible foreign policy goal to dedicate ourselves to. CANAM II failed to be that goal, but that doesn’t mean we have to go back to fighting in foreign wars every day. We have other options that we can explore, new campaigns to push, new lands to conquer, new enemies to conquer, new friends to meet, and old allies to support. As Americans, sitting idly isn’t something we do very well.
I think that everyone has been pushed too far to one side in these conflicts, and that if we’re going to progress as a country, as Americans instead of fragmented conflicting communities, then we’re going to have to come closer to the middle, and figure out what’s going to work. The best part of this idea is the fact that everyone can be made happy through a few, minor, changes in direction.
To summarize, it seems as though we have the following goals as far as foreign policy:
1. Meaningful campaigns and distribution of attention;
2. A clear break from the Euro-centric status quo, to an equally distributed American focus;
3. Supporting our oldest allies, while opening ourselves to new relationships with prospective allies;
4. Seek ways around the bi-polar nature of our current alliance structure.
These are the ideas I believe we should focus on, for ourselves, our posterity, and our activity. And if the American populace would be so willing, I would dedicate myself to fulfilling them, not as a citizen, but as a President. Consider this my announcement to seek the office of President of the United States for the month of August. I intend on publishing a number of articles talking about foreign policy, as well as answering the questions of my constituents regarding this. And in the spirit of that cooperation, and coordination, I’ll give you an idea of exactly what you’re voting for;
First Strike: A Return to Civilization
1. Issue a Declaration of Amnesty for all individuals fighting for Canada, or disobeying orders, in CANAM II, including all militias, individuals, officers, and allied personnel, regardless of the amount of personal contribution, or citizenship change.
2. Follow the current plans regarding a White Peace for Canada; Restoration of original borders.
3. Begin process of re-signing willing lost MPPs during CANAM II. Note: Not all MPPs will be resigned, but we will be contacting all previous allies.
4. Pursuance of a pact of territorial integrity with neutral countries, including, but not limited to, Spain and Brazil.
These steps will be taken by myself and my State team, which is currently being built. Considering the depth of activity required for such varied foreign goals for this term, I will be utilizing the dual Secretary of State and MoFA plan to accommodate matters effectively and efficiently. Once these tasks are finished, there’s a second set of goals, some of which may need to be kept private for the time being. Technically speaking, it’s possible some of these goals would be accomplished before the end of the current term. If so, then I would further elaborate on what the next step will be, but everything depends upon the next few actions. Do not misunderstand, however, information will be made public as soon as possible, and any moves made on the foreign scene will be presented to Congress prior to official endorsement. In addition to this, I will be requesting that Congress restart the committee on foreign affairs, composed of individuals with experience regarding foreign policy, to serve as my own advisors, and checks to ensure I’m not doing anything overtly idiotic.
I intend on building a new, stable, American Foreign Policy. One that allows us to support our true friends, as well as engaging our populace with fulfilling and entertaining goals. To do this, I’m going to need all the help I can get. We need ambassadors to build relationships, writers to facilitate communication, military experts to help coordinate forces, and enthusiastic individuals to help create that sense of community that truly motivates us to excel, as a country, and as Americans. If you think you’ve got what it takes, apply here.
Stay tuned for other articles!

Good luck Civil Anarchy, I believe you will be a good president.
Civil, it all sounds great. But one problem, your running for President based on what exactly? All this is to me is you trying to fit in with the majority of the people to get elected. Which ok is fair i guess. What i am really asking is, take our minds off this crap with Canada, and give us something new....Maybe a TankUp2RankUp program with Q7? I dunno...just something new to help the citizens.....Otherwise whats different from you and Evry? Your both just running to run.
Because you think you know whats best for all of us... When ideas are being fed into you from outside and behind closed doors conversations. Look it from OUR point of view, your with Evry, and now your about to run because lets face it, Evry has no chance to win....but yet he will be "included" somehow or someway into everything you do.
@Icetek: I can't remember any presidents ever giving their entire plans in the announcement article. This isn't everything, not by a long shot. As for me and Evry, look at my articles from last campaign, and look at his articles. I run things significantly differently than he does, and in his campaign, he ran on an entirely different platform. We're two different people, in FA, domestics, and even party. Implying that I'm literally the same person just shows you don't know me quite well enough.
Well in a my eyes, your all the same to me. Its always 1 constant power struggle between the few who are already in some sort of power. And no i'm not saying elitists because for some weird reason that word on this game is worse then taking someone's life.
All I'm saying is this thing with Canada, any candidate will do the same thing, and ill bet my life on it that there is already talks behind closed doors on it too. I'm just fascinated how quickly everyone was yelling PTO
When someone who is NOT in the loop with the rest of you is running. I must gotten spam after spam, BEING TOLD who to vote for. If you really want my vote, run for president and stop partys from forcing votes on people, and stop partys from spamming us to contact them if we have a vote available.
Protect democracy and maybe invent some sort of eUS e Constitution, WHERE not only citizen can see, but our ALLIES as well, so they see we are solid as a country.
@Icetek
http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/USA#Constitution
that?
@bigcdizzel find me something on there that protects the players from the mistakes people in power do? That's not a constitution, that's just rules that no one fallows. And im talking to Civil, or do your ride on his boat too for some gain?
@Civil rewrite that stupid article, and add something in there a long the lines of LETTING THE PUBLIC VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT OF A CP. You get where im going with this?
tl;dr
I cannot force parties to do anything. That's not in any way the power of a President. And I can't let the public vote on an impeachment, it's not allowed by Game Mechanics, and there's no way to verify the legitimacy of a citizen's vote without the eRep API. And the Constitution is also written and approved by the Congress of the US. All of these things you should be telling to your congressmen, not a PoTUS candidate.
Very well, after a IRC discussion with Civil it was made clear. Civil is running for nothing more then to just be CP. And in fact he has admitted there is a circle of power going on in the eUSA government and he does not care to stop it. Are these the "elitists" we all so call?
Civil could not even keep his composure on IRC, so what makes you think he will as a CP? He is simply running to just be another one of them. Don't be fooled.
Next candidate please.
should probably get American CS before septuple posting to shit on a US campaign article.
Anyway gl Civil, it'll be interesting to see who else runs.
I left eUS like 3 days ago...just too many puppets and kids trying to sound all smart. I left to leave you all in peace so you can continue your "friends with benefits" program. But ill still stick around on the articles. Sorry

First, Icetek needs to write his own article. Everything he may say of value is wiped out by how he tried to hijacked this article.
Second to CA, well done, you have my Vote.
😁😁^ ahahahahahhahaha
Let me guess im a PTO threat now as well and a enemy of the state? Lets start labeling people now before it gets too out of control shall we.
If this were any other month, CA...maybe. I think we need to step away from the USWP/AMP stranglehold on eUS politics. It is doing this country no good at all. The politics in this country are at an all time low, while the subversion of individual player rights are at an all time high.
Mind you, I am not saying you would be a terrible POTUS, as I reserve that for after I see some sort of evidence in job performance. I just think we need different.
haha, a guy with a Robert Downey Jr. avatar is a windbag, surprise surprise
CivilAnarchy is a bro, plus he's from Camden, don't f*ck with him.
JJ: what does party mean, like at all.
Good article CA. Looking forward to the next ones.

This is certainly going to be a good election!
Votado
I'm going to run for POTUS too. No offense, but I think it's time for someone outside the "good oldfag boy" network to take a poke at running things. Couldn't get any worse, could it? Now I just need a party endorsement.
Voted I'm loving these article CA!
I like your ''First Strike: A Return to Civilization''
Seem like a solid plan. If you would ask me, it's not that hard to create a mortal ennemy, we just need one that is big enought to pose a challenge and harass them contsantly, it was easier in V1 thought, when you could troll and troll back in foreign media. It would create some kind of hype. Now it would need to be more sustained.
As to fix this country, all we need is an ennemy and a good war that everyone could get in. It shouldn't be too hard to find if we move around a bit... which is convenient now that we don't have any MPP.
Also very good article, I took the time to read it all.
I read this,
posting to track.
😉
You simply cannot be a sinner and get your soul into heaven.
You wanted to be a eChinalike country, with max bonuses. Well you cannot have this and direct wars.
The eternal "balkan war" will remain as such, because there are too many countries there, neither of them having possibility to get max bonuses for a long period of time.
So, you get to choose, war or benefits.
If this were any other month, CA...maybe. I think we need to step away from the USWP/AMP stranglehold on eUS politics. It is doing this country no good at all. The politics in this country are at an all time low, while the subversion of individual player rights are at an all time high. x 9001

Voted, Civil Anarchy would be an awesome president. The ability to communicate with the people is a very valuable quality for a POTUS.
Smartest guy among the elites
Ah well, the comments are entertaining.
So, as there seems to be no plan, and as the politics and civil unrest are so similar, maybe you should just attack eIreland.
Also, googoodoll is right.
ITA: Icetek shows the mental capacity of downs.
ITA: Dish has to wear Depends to keep his poo in his pants.
Well written article, really nice job. I couldn't disagree more with this notion of declaring "Amnesty" - I don't want or need "Amnesty" from the Elites. I pounded the crap out of USAF fighters invading Canada...and I'd do it again in a heart beat. Amnesty implies it was wrong. It wasn't. It reflects my values of loyalty and sticking up for the little guy. When I need forgiveness for that from my eCountry is the day I move to another eCountry.
Very good article, very wel written, and I think in line with what every eUSA citizen wants.
gl!
@Fitisin: I'm going to have to disagree with you on Amnesty. I've always seen Amnesty as connotative of a benevolent action that goes against the established rules. A lot of people in the USAF did stand against the US and lose positions. Those are the people this is really for.
HALIMANS GOT THIS THO
I'm Listening.
Let's all vote for a guy who can write good articles, buys votes and has knee pads always on to suck...... Up to the next guy.
Don't worry guys, he knows he can't win without the help of the "elites". And don't trust the FEDs they seem to just go with who ever has there backs. In other words puppets with strings up there a hole
Wondering how stacked with USWP puppets your cabinet is going to be... cause im betting the same ol faces will be in the same ol places just to ensure an election victory.
+1 for pics

If it were not for the "Balkan Wars" eUS would not have 10/10 bonuses .
Remember that.
