Good Evening eUK
First of all, this update is in my newspaper because we are currently having the MoFA password reset by Woldy, so future articles will be from there.
After hearing Dave and Paul speak on IRC and also the eUK in general I thought it would be best to update you on a few things, given our current situation. I will try to keep this regular from now on, but understand that most of our articles would be pretty much identical from day to day.
I will begin making a conscious effort to update the populous, starting with this.
Conflicts
As I am sure you are all aware the eUK is facing a war on two fronts at the moment, and potentially a third in the form of an Argentinian old friend. The war with Netherlands, if they win this battle *Which NoTie seems fairly keen to win* the battle will be ended.
France. Is a complicated one. We obviously cannot compete with the amount of COs they seem to be placing, and we cannot out hit them as we simply cannot get people fighting. We have no one funding our COs privately which means eUK government money cannot compete with it, as shown by the West Midlands RW yesterday, we cannot outhit and cannot outspend France. The situation could be alleviated slightly given we had allied support.
This is a difficult situation also. Some allies are simply too busy with pro asteria countries themselves. Spain, having recently been freed are understandably apprehensive and are facing invasion from two big hitting Pro Asteria nations, so having spent the effort last month to free them it would be counter productive if they helped out alone without any guarantee of freeing us. Belgium are willing to help out, but face similar pressures and we would not achieve a lot alone with just us and Belgium fighting. Croatia are helping out alot and other individual allies are doing all they can, but many also face troubles in there own conflicts, so we are extremely grateful for the allied efforts and the efforts from the MUs of the UK in fighting the conflict. All we can do at the moment is fight against them until the situation changes, which we are currently working hard in government to do. I am in contact with a few potential solutions.
We tried negotiations, but the French were very, un open to the idea...
MPPs
It has been suggested people like hearing about MPPs.
So here we go.
Ukraine: Long time ally, we are on friendly terms with them, another anti asteria nation.
Albania: We love Albania for the same reasons above and they helped us out big time in the past.
Italy: Similar reasons as above, I am sensing a theme.
Irelan
😛Close allies, keep one side of our borders safe from attack ;P
Turkey: Similar reasons to be honest with you.
Venezuela: PLUTO allies, close allies, helped us out alot.
Estonia: Extremely close allies, good friends of eUK.
Belarus: Similar reasons again.
Georgia: See Belarus
Spain: Probably one of our closest allies, helped us out big time in the past, we helped them out with Argentina.
Macedonia: Great allies, helped with spanish effort.
Croatia: Big allies, great guys, helping out heavily at the moment and in the past.
Chile: See All of the above
😃
Missing/ Re-Signing:
Germany: Long time allies and great help in the past and present.
Belgium: One of our closest allies and a PLUTO ally and co founding member.
South Korea: PLUTO Allies, wiped at the moment.
Mexico: Long time ally, helped us with Argentina. PLUTO Member.
Interview Time!

Hey Mr CP. Thanks for the interview, first question, how are you today?
I was quite well until a few minutes ago, now i have an open ticket with the payment department that seems to be already asleep
Same admin response level as usual then I see
😉Whats the current situation like in eGermany?
We are currently being wiped by Argentina, but it seems like we are securing congress nevertheless. Also there are some struggles with Denmark.
How is the Germark thing going? What problems are currently facing Denmark? Also, we all love a bit of fun with the argentinians ;P
Libertas33 took over eDenmark and most people of the former danish government aren't happy about that. This leaves the current state of the union a bit unclear. We stayed neutral and didn't interfere because it's just Libertas and not some random serbian so in my opinion you can't really call it a hostile coup. Germark is just 2nd priority right now, first we need to get rid of the argentinians.
That is understandable, and we will help out when we can, and aren't being hounded by frogs... How do you see the eUK and rl UK?
The eUK is a close ally to Germark and can count on our support anytime. I don't have to say much about rl UK as this is a game, but i consider them an important country in the european union.
Can you tell the people of the eUK a little bit about yourself
I am a currently studying physics and IT in Hamburg and waste the little free time i have on playing erepublik. I just got into ePolitics half a year ago when KTTRS wanted me for his government and have been part of the "Filz" ever since.
o7 Thanks for the interview Mr cbird, best of luck with the conflict! Anything to add?
"/me hugs n0s3"
Thanks for reading, I think you guys deserved a MoFA update
o7 eUK!
FIGHT!
Also a quick added note.

Excellent me thinks!
oh you 😉
I gave you an acceptable way out of this conflict 3 weeks ago when I was still in charge of eFrance. Your government should have considered it with a bit more respect...
Your government should have been open to negotiation rather than dictating terms. The fact is no one on our end thought it was an acceptable way out of the conflict, which is why we did not accept it.
With the situation that is happening now, do you still personally think that what I was asking was that much unacceptable ?
Your acceptable way out was not a way out.
Consider if the roles were reversed. Would you gladly agree to that? The eUK Government get enough heat without willingly signing an unfavourable deal. We could not and would not go to the eUK and ask for forgiveness or understanding, as we were unwilling to with the offer given to us. Unfortuneately we could not come to agreement, best of luck in your future endeavors etc
As i have told you so many time, if you had done basics calculation you would have seen that what i was proposing was acceptable financially.
So me, at first i probably would have reacted like you, but at the end given the situation, i would analyse things more seriously financially and i would have accepted a deal, temporarily, since it would have been the best compromise.
That is quite a roundabout way of saying no.
Well that is your opinion. And my individual opinion does not influence the decision, it is a congress and UK government decision.
Alright, alright 😉
Can't see the other divisions but Ukrainians are consistently fighting against UK in Div 1, seems like a pointless MPP.
A lot I have seen and questioned are the typical CO hunters you get. I saw a lot of Spanish/Ukraine today
You know that you can't judge a country based on the actions of a certain breed of player. If they have a position in government, I'd agree that someone needs to have words but it's easy to spot a CO hunter from a mile away.
Looking at their D4 leaderboards, there are a number of players I recognise from UK fights. I'll admit that I don't know many in the lower divisions though (except LaliShot ♥ ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ)
Isn't that there MoFA?

Yep! Aaron certainly needs to be kicking off about that.
[removed]
consider me kicking off
I changed my mind Ukraine are cool, it just seems they all hate Knight of Swords xD
cbird is nice :3
"most people of the former danish government aren't happy about that"
Ha ha ha - and ha. No eDanes are happy about that - its a MTO. Lets just call it what it is. Libertas is political isolatod in eDenmark. However he do seem to have friends outside of eDenmark...
Did you make a poll including every eDane?
Give me a name of a single Dane that supports Libertas. Just one.
I heard that Libertas does.
Did you notice I wrote Dane? 😉 Libertas is not a Dane.
And yes, the only eDane that supports Libertas is Libertas.
This Government is useless are Allies are useless this Alliance is Poo-Too
complete FAIL once again !
You always criticise but never suggest an alternative. Please, we are welcome to suggestions. What would you have us do to free ourselves from France? A diplomatic approach isn't the case because we lose weapons regions which you would complain about.
Here is an alternative quit , this government don't even tell people what is going on . so here is my alternative you lot quit for a few months take a break you need one!
As much as I do need a break, if the current government quit we would be in a worse situation. Not enough people would step up to fill the void 😒
And this is me trying to tell the people what is going on ;P
weeks late
weeks late yes, but better than we have had before would you not agree?
No. Better than we've had over the last three or four months. Before that MoFA updates were a bit more frequent.
Personally I don't think it's too much to ask for every government department to provide weekly updates (at least) - preferably in the department's newspaper. Most ministries have two or three people in them, so writing a weekly update should be easy enough to achieve.
I aim to be doing that from here onwards VM71, although it is difficult atm, a lot of mine would be identical
Spot on, VM. This has been my biggest gripe of government over recent months, especially on the MoFA front. Kudos to AMD for this, and your response promising more, but is it too little, too late?
But is it also not a case of better late than never? 😛

Yay cbird.
It is interesting the French are trying to present a scenario that somehow them attacking us is our fault.
As far as I'm aware from what I've read, the French demands were - we're attacking you, we want all your best regions for ourselves, we will keep your regions for as long as we like, oh by the way it's only a training war.
Now I would suggest a Training War has an agreed set of wars and region gains and losses, agreed compensation and an agreed end date. Usually such a thing is discussed by people who act like adults, rather than present their demands at the point of a gun.
What the French offered was a full scale invasion, which for diplomatic reasons masqueraded as a training war.
Now it became quite clear and remains the case that France has the CO's to back up their demands, so the French position was never going to be one of negotiate to agree a training war - how could it? You wouldn't gather the CO's and attack a country unless you planned something more than a training war.
Let me be clear as a final point. If France had made reasonable suggestions with clear details and regions, costs and time frames - even ones favorable to France, seeing as they have the money to back up their claims, I'm sure something could and would have been agreed. In fact I understand other countries on both sides have had an input, but that France has maintained a position of complete intransigence throughout which thoroughly befits that of a country which always intended a full invasion and conquest.
If it wasn't France's intended aim all along - prove me wrong!
On top of that, you forgot the "Declare war at the end of a CP term and mention you want a TW after"
