Looks like there are no other volunteers, so I'll try to answer your questions.
Ireland seems to have managed to grab all of Scotland and Northern Ireland
Ireland are in an opposing alliance (
EDEN). They occupied more of us for a while but to cut a long story short, our current CP did a peace deal with them whereby they get to hold two of our regions (Scotland & Northern Ireland) and we get two of theirs in return (Dublin & Louth IIRC). Unfortunately, because of continued occupation and multiple enemies, we haven't had the opportunity to take our two regions from them. In theory, the deal is good for both nations as we both get additional resources from it which give us a production bonus for companies. In practice, it hasn't worked out that way, although not being at war with Ireland is helpful in itself with everything else going on.
the US has a chunk of Britain
Peace has just been declared, so we should be able to get those regions back.
France has the south
France are much stronger than us and have decided to hate us. We need some of our allies to start attacking them so that we have a chance to free ourselves. 1 vs 1, we have no chance.
how does this game work?
There are some guides
here. I haven't checked how up to date they are but should be useful anyway. There is also the
eRepublik wikihow to I help out and eventually earn some political posisition in order to help the Uk?
Country President elections are on the 5th of each month. The President will appoint a Cabinet and those Ministers will need apprentices. The best way is probably to start out in MoHA and help out with things such as messaging new players. You can work your way up and get involved in other areas and in future, maybe become a Minister.
It's easy to join a party and run for congress. Get involved on your chosen parties forum and IRC if you can and you can become a valuable member of any party.
Who's are real enemies?
France and Canada really. There are others but these seem to be the main threats at the moment, particularly France.
Who are our allies?
We are a full member of the
ONE alliance.
WHO is the UK Government?
Talon Karrde is the Country President and is a member of The Unity Party. The cabinet can be found on the
UK Wiki Page.
Congress elections are 25th of each month and members of the top 5 parties can run.
How do I get a job and earn cash?
There's a recent article about that
here.I want to fully interact and help in this game. So if the right people mail me and educate me I can hopefully help Britain to grow and get back on it's feet.
Glad to be of assistance. Any other questions, just ask.
