Manifesto

Unity

The party motto is "venisti remanebis donec denuo completus sis" (roughly translated:From whence you came, you shall remain, until you are complete again ).

The party believes in a geographically united eIrland. The lost part of eIreland also has natural resources that rightfully should be theirs. Further more, they believe in a diverse and healthy society which is empowered by unifying grander goals that we all contribute to.

As a party they are very proud of our party traditions. This is the oldest political party in eIreland that is alive and that is thriving.

Politics

The Irish Union Party firmly believes in middle ground politics. We acknowledges the strength of some of the tools employed by the left side, the co-opertive for example. However, we believe the mono culture ultimately produced by the left side to be both boring for the players and also damaging for the country in the long run. Without diversity we are vulnerable as a nation.

We also acknowledge the strength of the market and the importance of the individual. There should be individual choices, differences, choices to make that fits you and your interests. We believe eIrland is strong and resilient with a diverse corporate culture. However, it is also obvious that the individualism, with its corporations and different strivings, in its unchecked form also leads to a boring game and a bad community. There has to be a balance. It should be fun to play the game. You should be able to run the company you want, if it is unwanted by the people in the country it wont sell, but if you are creative and find your niche, the country is richer, and you are happy with your game.

Society

eIreland's future also relies on new citizens. We need to actively attract old and new citizens. We also need to create incentives for people to stay in eIreland. It is not enough to simply ensure good wages. A good government helps the individual realize his idea of a fun contribution to the elife, be it by managing a company, working, fighting or by contributing to the political sector.

Soldiers should have health care programs and travel programs. New citizens should have education in the form of mentoring programs and special companies reserved for them which gives better salary. All programs should not to be provided by the government though. Some programs might be provided by political parties, or other non governmental organizations. That way the programs will not be as vulnerable to thievery, and also they will be diverse enough to satisfy more peoples interest.

Economy

Diverse corporations is important for eIrland. They offer jobs to workers, and their export brings in new money to our economy. Export is more important than many realize, both in real life and elife. The eIrish domestic market is small and does not on its own provide means for rapid economic growth. We really need the export companies, and the Union party believe the fiscal policies should reflect that.

The workers of eIrland needs decent pay for their contribution to the economy, and they also need money so they can buy stuff from our corporations. Money needs to circulate and not be kept in one sector.

The eIrish government should provide mentoring for new corporations, and they should help established corporations find a suitable market for their products.

The government should have state companies for two main reasons. Some of them might be non profit companies, but the government should also have companies as an investment.

The income tax is something that affects profit created in companies as well as the salary of the workers. That is the biggest slice of eIrlands tax pie. We therefore see it as unrealistic and difficult to lower this tax to much. The government needs money for aliances etc.

The import tax should be zero, or close to zero, for goods that we need in our production industry.

The Value Added Tax (VAT) affects goods that you sell at the eIrish market, and hence also affects what workers afford to buy. We believe in a low VAT since that makes products from our companies affordable to our workers. Also, it allows companies to grow before they reach the size where they start to export stuff.

Foreign Policy

eIreland needs to have active ambassadors and an active ministry for foreign relations. They should actively seek out markets that we can export to, and work as liaisons for our export corporations.

We also need alliances and means for our citizens to train their fighting skills. It is unrealistic to believe that eIrleland at the moment would benefit from any larger conflicts, so we need proxy wars. This can be in the form of training campaigns made in cooperation with other countries, and also it can be made as informal transfers of warriors to friendly countries which are in conflict. The governments corporations should be used for supporting these proxy wars. We believe it is a sound investment for eIreland to have skilled warriors, and also it adds to the fun of the game for our citizens. Further more, we should also consider helping people to train in non governmental organizations like the Peace Corps et al. that way there are many roads for our citizens to choose from.

Irish Union Party has changed its previous neutral stance regarding alliances since it was an anachronism. Today's Irish Union Party is FOR alliances. In the present political landscape it means we vote FOR an EDEN membership.

Government

We still firmly believe in team playing government. Political debate is one thing, crippling bickering is another thing. This has been implemented in the past and it has proven to be effective in ruling out irrelevant bills and speeding up important ones.

We believe the government should be active in all sectors, like having corporations and being active in proxy wars, but we also strongly believe in private actors that brings diversity. Therefore the government needs to have a responsible policy where it is part of the market and therefore is connected with the market, but still allows the market to be thriving and diverse.
