Ender Republic Agency for International Development
The Ender Republic Agency for International Development ( ERAID ) is the Republic of Ender agency primarily responsible for administrering civilian foreign aid. ERAID has adopted as its mission statement “to partner to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing the security and prosperity of the Republic of Ender”. ERAID's programs are authorized by Congress in C.R. 19, the Eastern Commonwealth Relief Act.
Goals
Disaster relief
ERAID has acted in times of disaster when the Staff either unavailable or refuses to help.
Some of ERAID's earliest aid programs provided relief in crises in Taushahar when its wood reactor melted down and resulted in its wither core going rogue and attacking the nearby yevish colony which hurt the settlement's economy greatly. The rampage took many yevish lives and destroyed infrastructure and farms. The General of the Military quickly neutralized the wither and repair efforts began on Taushahar; craters were filled, damages were fixed, and the yevish colony was repopulated.
On June 17th, a raid on the server occurred at spawn by a Byntari raiding party of approximately 20 users from 2ch.hk. Though users tried to respond, they were quickly cut down or slain using lava buckets. Their pleas for Staff intervention fell on deaf ears as their death chests were plundered and the Byntari attackers steadily became more heavily armed. An ERAID effort with the Republic of Ender's military quickly responded when contacted by Tomoko, slaying, disarming, and repelling the Byntari raiding party.
Not soon after this exchange, the Byntarians targetted Anon1234's public iron farm. Despite requests for the Staff to repair the damages, the iron farm remained nonfunctional for a week and nobody could figure out exactly why it was no longer functional. The only Staff action was for Enton to sign online and accuse Speaker BearMonger of tampering with it. Another ERAID expedition was launched with Hinoarashi personally climbing into the iron farm's kill mechanism and iron collection point to repair the missing signs suspending lava and cobble spam inside of the farm from the Byntarians. As a result, the iron farm's functions were normalized.
