{eIre CP} An Update on the threat
Aras an Uachtarain
Dia Dhuit Ireland,
As promised eIreland, your government will keep you updated in regards to the current threat being posed to our nation. And unfortunately over the past 24hrs, this threat has taken an interesting turn. But before we get into it, we need to discuss some history. I will not go back 6yrs, 4yrs, or even 1yr. Many things have happened over the course of eRep, if we all lived in the past, the game would never evolve. But what I would do is talk about the recent history since this has reflected the way eIreland has dealt with it's neighbours as well as it's foreign policy (plus I know of our history from my time of arrival to the Irish shores).
During Trito's governance in the February term, eIreland gave back the region of Northern Ireland that it had been holding from the eUK. This was done pretty shortly after he took power and done in a peaceful manner. While I am a bit sketchy on the reason's eIreland had come to obtain this region (due to my arrival only a few weeks beforehand), from the date forward eIreland has been trying to rebuild the friendship of it's European neighbour. Even to the point of signing a NAP with Orion, Pacifica (article here and 60 day NAP here ).
Shortly afterwards, while eIreland still under the Trito's governance, Spain and MKD did a joint airstrike on Ireland. This was in part due to our actions against their friends and allies, including but not limited to the eUK. The Spanish and MKD governments kept eIreland under occupation for the remainder of Trito's term and into the political term of Releasethe Krakken. While some resistance battles were fought, both the Spanish and MKD governments were too well co-ordinated and strong for eIreland, so no regions could be regained. However, diplomacy was started and eMKD released a region so Ireland could have a partial congress. On the other side in the eUK arena, they suffered many attempts at a MTO, however these were not too successful, instead Irish fighters were actually seen fighting for their government to keep to the democratic path.
With in a few days of Mach's being elected as the eIreland CP, Ireland/MKD/Spain reached a peace treaty and signed a NAP that included a clause in regards to their allies (details here ). Coincidentally this NAP happened when the old Orion/Pacifica NAP was expiring. On the signing of this NAP (which was in theory to last 3 terms), the Irish and MKD governments arranged a TW with each other to ensure rebuilding of friendships and economic growth for both nations. This training war, while it had it's slight hiccups was quite successful and lasted until the end of Mach's term (details here ).
Shortly after the voting in eIreland that saw Kattiaa elected to lead the Irish people, Ireland and the UK entered into a training war (details here ) with the direct hope that it would help rebuild the countries friendships from the past times.
The Preamble to the Training War agreement
Whilst it was meant to be conducted on British soil, this was soon changed when the battle moved to Irish soil. Communication channels remained opened to adjust for this slight detail and the training war continued. However due to what ever reasons (it would be wrong of me to assume), the UK side had alot political instability, resulting in many attempted impeachment votes, no voting to the NE laws (can be seen here. While this was going on the eUK breached the rules about resource regions on many occasionals, however the Irish government wanting to try and rebuild trust and friendship, as well as knowing that the political instability might not of helped, let these breaches slide, for the betterment of the nations friendships.
Now we get to where we are today. Shortly into the current term of Rusty D and Dishmcds, and shortly after the UK took a resource regions (against the TW agreement) for the 4th time, the Irish government received news that one of the UK alliance partners was looking at making a grab for Irish regions. This was discussed n the Irish congress as well as with the UK government and it was agreed to end the training war as per the agreement:
However, what appeared to be a clear cut end of the training war, were both nations leave as friends to allow the possibility of the new one at a later date, was shortly dashed when the eUK government proposed a Trojan horse maneuver to wipe eIreland. Which would not only breach the TW agreement, but also put strain on the original MKD/Spain NAP that was in place.
One could wonder if the UK had been planning this with their allied nation (who the threat originated from) or whether it was just an opportunity moment. One could say it is in revenge for Ireland holding UK regions over 6 months ago (yet the US has been and gone through UK regions since then) or maybe it is just a dog act. But one thing is sure, eIreland will stand by it's word.
eIreland will continue to view the original threat of an AS on our regions as the first priority and as such will be preparing to defend our homeland against hostile aggression. This is something that was raised in the original article as well as being discussed with our allies and friends.
In regards to the movements of the eUK, the Irish government will start to be more strict in ensuring the TW contract is abide by, this will include setting COs in any RW that needs a hand and in any attacks on our resource regions. The government will also play the wait and see game in regards to the NE laws, with the UK just recently passing their NE, they have to wait 7 days until they can do a no NE. But in the meantime, the Irish government has spoken to the governments of MKD/Spain to inform them about the potential breach in the NAP, governments of many allied nations and friends.
Call us simple minded, but your government believes when it gives it's word, it will stand by it. This is why your government will take the course of action it has taken. Not only because it gave it's word to countries like MKD, Spain, but also because it gave it's word to the citizens of the UK as well as it's own Irish citizens.
So until then eIreland, fight hard and remember that your not alone. Your government is active, both behind the scenes and upfront. We will survive and we will be successful, not matter the hand we are dealt.

Their actions are very disappointing, they put a rogue NE on us last month as well.
The NE on Ireland was a rogue one as well.
Get your shit together.

Well, this is more info than I got from my government 😃
Also, TUP sucks...
There is more info, but I cant release it since it involves screenshots of convo's as well as other details, I dont want to be made public, just yet. Need to keep a few cards up my sleeve and let others 'deny' everything
But what about TUP?
Leak it. You know you want to.

none, troll players active in the game again, causing problems for the UK as usual before they disappear again after they've had their lolz.
Just like we had our fair share of troll players who got us wiped by MKD and Spain. It is apart of the game, hence why as stated in the article, Ireland will continue by the original TW agreement and focus on the other threat, until such time the UK can end the TW.
I don't call cheating part of the game - we lost control of Congress in eUK because Lemon party used masses of multis to get themselves elected and have tipped the balance in Congress - for me that is cheating pure and simple, it's not part of the game and is why I have refused to have anything to do with eUK until this is rectified.
That is what has annoyed me most about this, I call backing out of an agreement as cheating, since it is someones word. If the UK or whoever is pushing the buttons, did the right thing and cancelled the TW, then re-declared war as a hostile thing, that would be fine. But using a TW as a sneaky way of draining damage and shifting it into a real war, is a dog act.
Well as you may recall we couldn't get Congress to back the original NE when we started the TW, then when we wanted to end it they rejected the Peace Proposal - https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/United-Kingdom/192118
From what I can see in the public discussion our CP has asked for Congress to give its opinion on the course it wants whilst the current NE is still active, so I cant see that we've ended the TW as yet.
Personally I think this reflects badly on the eUK and I can't understand why our Government is pandering to Congress - though of course we know who does benefit from this and who has been determined to make this a real war from the beginning and that's Wayne and his mates.
Stop leaking screenshots of congress discussions to foreign governments Paul. Traitor.
How do I benefit from the war Paul? I don't fight and I don't sell anything, so were is the benefits?
We the eUK public have no idea what is happening. We were simply discussing the Training War in Mongress mails. Some wanna see you wiped (I'm in that camp, I love seeing eIre wiped, old habits), others wanna end the TW now (we call them fags) and the rest wish to continue the war. No consensus has been reached, Mongress are pretty much just 'huh'ing' at each other asking what the hell is going on, while the general public probably don't even know what is happening!
eUK will scale this up to a proper CO war if that's what you want. We are dreadfully bored over here and we seriously need a 'mortal enemy' seeing as eCanada and eFrance are disgustingly now not only MPP'd with us but also in the same dreadful alliance!
The choice is yours lad, choose wisely...
Wins best comment, let me know when mongress figures out their shiit 😃
Mongress doesn't figure out it's shit. It's gets told what it's shit is from the CP. Unless that CP has annoyed Mongress, then Mongress does the opposite.
Our CP just needs to say' Right Mongress, heres my plan'. then we can decide whether or not we adhere to that plan.
Who in their right mind think's 40 people can form an opinion on something?
Your CP in his article openly stated he wants to turn this into a proper war.
The current COs are set to protect our resource region which UK has decided to go for, even after we raised our issues to them about continuously hitting our resource regions. Which is something openly stated in this article, that we will stand by the agreement and defend our interests.
And as you would of read in the article, I have said in regards to the UK, we will continue to stand by the TW agreement until such a time your congress can vote a NO NE and we can end it. My main and current concern is the other country (which I know your government has been talking too) and defending against any chance of their attacking eIreland.
I think you are reading it the way you want to read it. From what I see when I read his article, he is asking for the opinions of Mongress regarding this TW.
I explain here: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-euk-on-ireland-and-leadership-2643591/1/20
Dish made a mistake on 2 counts, asking Mongress it's opinion and then asking Mongress it's opinion in a article. I would say it's been you that has amplified the war to a proper war (if it ends up going that far). It's been you banging the drums of war, not our Government.
So his own comment saying "As President, I would choose now, and would have chosen last month for direct war on Ireland. We've gone far too long without conflict, and need something to focus on. I believe this in the best interest of our nation."..... Choosing direct war
I blame the DUP.
"One could wonder if the UK had been planning this with their allied nation"
>eUK
>planning
funny joke mate jfc none of us are that intelligent. We did the thing where the CP asks a group of 40 people what they want when they don't actually know what they want. The relationship between our CP and congress right now is the same as when you ask your gf where she wants to go to eat and she just goes "I don't mind". CP is the girl, congress are the guy hopeless throwing out random ideas to vague responses. I suppose as the informal speaker of the house over there this makes me a menu for a Chinese takeaway. huh.
I love that y'all have a defcon level, that's got to be the most useless meta administrative thing you could possibly come up. Only more useless thing I can thing of is the entirety of alliance of politics.
defcon is more for graphics then anything else, as well as helping congress know the threat.
UK is not just your congress, but your government. I know for a fact they are planning and chatting away. However as stated above, we will keep the TW going until they can end it (since the time limit on the NE law).
If this thing turns into a real war, I dont personally blame the UK itself, we have all been around long enough to see a small group of peoples plans/ideas/dreams ruin a nations standing with friends. This TW was to help rebuild damage relations and rebuild trust lost from previous governments.
"I know for a fact they are planning and chatting away" Would you like to see the last thing said on the UK cabinet discord?

If you pay for it, I can convince argentinian government to AS both countries, the UK and Ireland. Thus ending the threat once and for all. Everyone wins.
This sounds good to me, the only thing more satisfying than fighting against the Irish would be fighting alongside the Irish against the Argies. Don't wanna pay for it though, maybe we could just taunt them about the Falklands Islands and see if they launch an AS off their own bats?
If no meaningful date to do it, wont be free. But could work.
(Wayne,I won?)
The only time eIreland can be counted on is when eUK has its boot on your neck. Prepare your anus.
Sorry, I don't swing that way. But since it is 2017, guess anything goes
Combine weak and ineffective government with a hostile Mongress and you have the potential for chaos and anarchy. Especially when said Mongress doesn't know what's going on.
Also, TL😉R 8/10 needs more cats.
