Embassy of eIreland

Dear people of eBelgium !

Let me introduce myself, I am Kheops, eIrish ambassador to eBelgium. I am a former eBelgian citizen, so I also speak both French and Dutch.

I'm looking forward to work together with all of you in strengthening the relations between eBelgium and eIreland !

Your can find my newspaper with regular updates at:

eIrish Ambassador

Welcome!

Update: an eBelgian Embassy sub-forum has been created on the eIreland national forum > http://ieforums.hobbittown.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=127

several posts from the eBelgian Ambassador to eIreland, Stilpo, have been moved to that forum.

Welcome Kheops! Didn't you guys just join the Brolliance? How's that working out?

Nice to see you here, Kheops! We couldn't have wished for a better eIrish ambassador to our country

Welcome great to have you.

Welcome I hope our country will both cooperate more. Even if just to piss off the brits more (it's a joke of course).

We are indeed a member of Brolliance. This collaboration is working out great. Our military strength has shown some increase in results over the last 2 battles, only counting for the eIrish Defence Force.

This alliance has confidence in its causes and qualities.

I will be watching eUK's approaches to eBelgium on very close foot !

Welcome Kheops , good to know we have friends in eIreland

Like you know our CP was contacted by 3 alliance Brolliance ENTENTE and Sol
We are discussing if we should enter one and if we does which one.

Entering Sol is not really interesting for us because it's really far away.
Entering ENTENTE would not be bad whit France being our neighbour.
Entering Broalliance is interesting but would be considered an act of war by our Phoenix neighbours being (eUK, eUNL, eGER).

I'm pretty sure the response from Ireland would be biased towards Brolliance, no offense to you Kheops, of course.

Rational people will understand that our choice of an alliance is not choosing a side but rather choosing which one will benefit Belgium more. Brolliance is great but is strictly defensive military, no real economic or knowledge -sharing initiatives there.

Dear,

I repeat what I have said before ... you only have to do what is best for eBelgium, nothing else. eIreland will be in support as long as our diplomatic status towards eBelgium allows us that. We are Brolliance, not aggressive, only responsive to any actions taken, and most important of all ... always open for dialogue.

Kind Regards
Kheops

very well said, a true diplomat

Dear citizens of eBelgium,

An update from eIreland: as you might have noticed, presidential elections have been finalized. I sincerely hope elections for CP in eBelgium have been held on good terms and that the re-elected or newly appointed president will bring a term full of dynamics, creativity and prosperity to eBelgium!

In eIreland the CP elections have been won by moomoohead with over 42% of the votes. This outcome is not a surprise for the citizens of eIreland. He got the support of most of the parties and came forward with a moderate but enthusiastic and efficient plan for the future of eIreland. An interesting fact however is that nearly every candidate for CP had the ‘War with the UK’ in one of their presented goals. Each somewhat more foolhardy than the other. Our newly elected CP is also planning to take military actions against the UK, a plan that gets the support from a majority of the eIrish population. The goal put forward is to take control over the Scotland region. On the other hand, Mr Woldy, CP of the eUK, set the counter-goal to keep control over this region. So the eUK is actually expecting an attack on this region, amongst many other regions under control of the eUK. No specific orders or actions have taken at this point, but that is probably just a matter of time. This already public information might be of interest for eBelgian citizens, for those who have not been informed.

But there has not yet been an official ‘state of the union’ from the newly elected CP, and Foreign Affairs is the last issue on the list. This only because it is a complicated and delicate matter. So all of this is just unofficial information, be sure to take that into account. As soon as there is more news available that might be interest of eBelgium, you will be informed.

Kind Regards
Kheops
eIrish Ambassador to eBelgium

Thanks for letting us know

Good luck to bad we can't help you.
We are supposed to be "friend" with eUK
They usualy show thier friendship by telling our gouvernment how to run our country and if we refuse they put meaningless embargo.

Personally I seriously doubt about the importance of that embargo, which is certainly not a reason to 'maintain' the eUK's dominance over eBelgium. This is just really about the fear for military actions against eBelgium. eIreland and definitely not me are in the position of telling eBelgium how to run things ... the only thing I sincerely hope is that eBelgium can emancipate very soon ! We will consider you as an equal and respectable partner.

Hey Kheosp, nice to see you again.

As you probably know by now I have been a citizen of the eUK for some month and I can only deplore that you are going to attack their country. In my eyes it will be either an unnecessary spending of gold or an ideal way to lose your neutrality or Broalliance his status of a defensive alliance. You probably know that on your own you are not able to defeat eUK.

Going on, eUK has indeed no business in how we rule here in Belgium and we made it perfectly clear. Their call was not illegitimate to as I took someone that stole companies from them (but donated them back without any loss). It was my decision, the reasons were perfectly clear for them but the pressure of the citizens is sometimes to big and a CP has to follow the will of the nation.

Either this, so call incident, the euK never had anything to say here and by this the eUK has absolutely no dominance over Belgium in any way. They will probably never invade us, they have no reason for doing so and eUK will certainly not waist the money in it. They are not fools and I can have direct contact with all of them at any time.

For the 'equal and respectable partner', be aware that this is a shared vision. Every single country that respects us as a country and doesn't try to impose their goals to us will be welcome here !

They did it once, so "usually" isn't really the best formulation

Interesting info, thanks for keeping us updated, Kheops

Hi Apotygma,
First of all I would like to congratulate you on being re-elected as CP of eBelgium !

With all do respect but you are trying to present the eUK as the innocent victim in this. eIreland is a neutral country but we do have to protect ourselves when threatened. As a neutral country we want to keep good relations with every single nation in eWorld, but good relations can only exist when the respect is mutual. The eUK has provoked, threatened and instulted us many times in these last few months. What will happen in the near future is just a result of that, before it is to late. No single fellow member of Brolliance has the moral obligation to come to our aid, but always has the option to, which will not change anything to the status of the alliance.

That is clear Apotygma, but I sincerely hope that the days of JamesW are behind us then.

That is of course a shared vision, but your use of the word 'aware' scared me a little bit.

Kind Regards
Kheops

I have been monitoring eIrish media for the last two months and I fully agree with this assessment. Mutual respect between the eUK and eIreland does not exist as far as I can tell. eUK trolls -- some of whom are government officials and congress members -- have been relentlessly threatening and insulting and provoking the eIrish in their own media. Many Irish are at their breaking point and feel like the eUK is smothering them with their threats and deliberately using the threat of invasion to block them from pursuing their foreign policy goals and obligations. I'm not condoning a preemptive attack (only eIreland can decide that for themselves), but I can definitely understand the reasons behind it.

It should be noted, however, that official position of the eUK government remains that it does not intend to invade eIreland in the near future. I believe the eUK president called it a "waste of gold". Also, one of the eUK ministers who was trolling last month got sacked because of it.

Didn't this start when eIreland took Northern Ireland during the invasion of the eUK a few months ago?

Nope, because Northern Ireland was part of Norway at that time ...

I wish eIreland good luck.

I know you swapped it with the Norwegians but I don't see how it makes things different. You took advantage of their invasion to occupy one of their original territories and tried to keep it after the war had stopped.

eNorthern-Ireland: original territory ? Please, they did not want to be a part of eNorway. Most of eNorthern-Ireland citizens want to become a part of eIreland or even become an independent nation. We support both scenarios. What you are saying here is that eIreland are the aggressors against the eUK for liberating Northern-Ireland ? Where is the logic in that ?

Hey first of all,

please don't forget you are on the forum of a foreign nation. We don't mind to be a neutral field so that you can discuss it but it is not the place to talk about the flaws IG. Some fact are facts :

1 - Nothern Ireland is eUK original territory IG as in IRL. Doesn't please everyone but it is a fact. This means that in the eyes of the admins Northern-Ireland is rightfully the ownership of eUK. By wishing to "liberate"/'occupate" it (depends on the view) you do attack it and conquer it from their rightful owner and, by this, you are considered by the game mechanics as an aggressor.
2 - You have a biased opinion of what Nothern Irish think as you probably only discuss with people that agree with you. I lived in eUK for a while and I an assure you quite an amount of Nothern Irish are more than active in eUK.

So behind the clame of Entonia there is a logic. But, I do also understand your point Kheops, sometimes life is just unfair like for Macedonians that don't have their own country =S

I actually support NI as part of eIReland.


wrote an article about it a long time ago

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-ire-northern-ireland-who-deserves-it-1225381/1/20

4 months old, but my points of then are the same as now.

Thank you for your honest and polite answer on this Apotygma. Unfortunately I can not reply on this because it refers to much to real life. Political and diplomatic discussions on eRepublic stop when it is being compared with the real life situation. I can understand that the opinion on this is fuelled by your personal nationality, as well as it is with mine. But I wish to exclude the results in the new world from the romantic emotions in real life.

No region belongs to any nation 'rightfully' in the new world, only when you claim it. Military or based on the res publica.

It's the same as saying are were rightfully part of eUNL it's so wrong.

what do you mean by that?

[quote="Admin
what do you mean by that?[/quote]

Just a quick question...who is hiding behind the Admin name?

Sorry it was me, didn't see that I was still on that account...

NI is an original territory of the eUK, occupying it with the cooperation of eNorway has pissed off the eBrittons and it is perferctly normal. It doesn't justify abusive trolling, but then agains, this is eRepublik...

If you want to bring RL in this, I don't see why we should ignore the wishes of the Northern Irish unionists.

Most important news is that Ireland is part of the Brolliance and our treasury was stolen lately (again) and returned (again) with missing gold (again) and dissapearing companies (again) wich makes the estimated loss 1000 gold (hm, really high if you ask me, but I'm reading it also on our forums, i'd rather say 500 gold (wich also is very high)

What I need from you is the list of the current governement in eBelgium

So whats left then; hm lets see on my to-do list, giving our governement, check, giving some information, check, ask for your governement, check, say hallo and bonjour, well, i did it now, check

I speak Dutch and French, and I'm a real life Belgian (wich you probably already read in my article on erepublik)

So, jow, goeiendag, nog nen goeie avond en dit was het weer, daaaag (Frank Deboosere-style)

What I need from you is the list of the current governement in eBelgium

That's a very good point acually. Can an admin please post the Cabinet list for this month?

I would find it for you but it's half 11 and I'm too tired. I will in the morning if no one else posts it in the mean time.

Thanks. Added it to the list.

Thank you to Romper and Stilpo for helping Ireland to get Northern Ireland
Hugo Lilly: Shame on you!

My pleasure! Its nice to finally be getting some V2 military experience.

Interesting fact: Belgium had the 6th highest damage by citizenship in that battle... and it was just me and Romper

says enough about the british efforts, I say

Yeah, the Brits fighted in Hungary
So they dont care a lot about NI it seems
Ireland defeated them almost by themselves
If Ireland would have to fight one on one against UK, they cant win cause UK is has like 3000 citizen and Ireland only 1000, but Ireland is stubborn so they can take those Brits and still win fights they shouldnt win
UKs are really pissed off now and trying to find excses how they lost against Ireland while they had 4 MPPs and Ireland none (due to error USA MPP wasnt activated)
