[WHPR 2579]DECLARATION OF WAR

Dateline: Friday, December 12, 2014 (Day 2579)
Location: James S. Brady Press Room, The White House



For Immediate Release:

A bill declaring that war exists between the eUnited States of America and the Kingdom of Spain has passed our Congress and has now been put to official vote in game.

And so:
Be it enacted by the assembled Congress of the eUnited States of America, First. That war be, and the same is hereby, declared to exist, and has existed since Day 2579 including said day, between the United States of America and the Pig-Disgusting Kingdom of Spain.

Second. That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the eUnited States and to call into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such extent as may be necessary to carry this act into effect.
Approved, Day 2579.

*history buffs will appreciate the close similarity between this declaration and the Real Life declaration of war against Spain approved by Congress on April 25, 1898.


What does this mean?



According to eRepublik game mechanics, Spain is a border nation with eUSA. They are as much our neighbor as Canada and Mexico. This fact, combined with her long history of flipflopping in her foreign policy (thus the popular moniker “Double Spaniards”) has made our relationship with Spain complicated to say the least.

We have enjoyed some brief periods of peace and even alliance with Spain, most recently among the members of Sirius. But our periods of mutual animosity have far outweighed the times of peaceful relations.

In past attempts to occupy and wipe eUSA, Spain has often attempted to play a key role. Most recently they were part of the gang-bang that included Hungary, Poland, and Serbia, though among those attackers Spain was most easily rebuffed. Older players will recall several other conflicts with Spain, including times when we have kept her wiped for months at a time.

Meanwhile, wiping Spain is always a wise course of action. The bonuses we will gain from occupying Spanish regions are most of the ones we are lacking in our native territories. From the perspective of maintaining bonus security, the fewer nations we have to occupy to gain bonuses, the fewer Resistance Wars we have to tolerate to defend them. A nation can only raise one RW at a time against another nation.



It should also be mentioned that the largest eReligious group in eUSA (known as Dioists, or followers of Dio) absolutely despise Spain and their pig-disgusting, backstabbing ways. If Dioists could flush Spain and Sweden from the map they would. And in addition to the eReligious among us, there are also a significant number of snow-loving friends of Canada who reside in eUSA. Spain has been a pain in the Canadian tundra for a long time - recently keeping them wiped for 8 months. There ought to be very few in eUSA who can find anything wrong with the notion of a war against Spain.

And so it is with great pride and hopefulness that I call upon every American… every Military Unit… every man, woman, and newb who can carry a Q7 tank to take up arms against these rotten double-dirty-swine-awful Spaniards. Let fly every Energy Bar. Loose every Bazooka. Unleash the Boosters. Hammer your mouse with red and yellow fury in your eye.



And let’s paint Spain Red White and Blue!
