News Roundup [updated]

Day 798, 15:03 • Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom • by James Glover



The UK goes on the offensive attacking Sweden and Spain.

Spain have been active even with the elections, region swapping with Switzerland they have attack Italy and have currently taken one region and are attacking the others. The UK has 13 allies against Sweden so will take the region, it is best to fight in Lower Normandy to cause the Spanish to fight there instead of in Italy so they they can fight back.
We should probably expect an attack from Canada with the next 24 hours so that we cannot block Spain again.
Canada Epically failed last time with there excuse saying that they diverted damage from other battles but every UK SF fought elsewhere with the navy also doing so. The battle was easily won and do the Canadians want to attack again activating more MPP's against them. Argentina is up for vote today


UK supports Argentina

Signing an Alliance with Argentina and causing a trading embargo with Bolivia who have been annoying and causing trouble for our Argentinian friends.

Battlegazi is back

Battalgazi has been allowed back on after many forum topics and petition trying to get him back on the game. He was accused of multi accounts but was let off after it appeared many players had been using the same proxy in Turkey after the DDOS attacks last week many players in Turkey were blocked from the site to stop more attacking to eRepublik.

Romania

The Romanians are angry that they received almost no help for the US in there recent war in sofina. It appears that there was only 5 ameriacans fighting on the Romanians side and they are unhappy about losing the region after they helped defend the US from one region (few months ago) to where they are now.

Indonesia

Indonesia yesterday lost there last foreign region is South Africa. They have now lost every high region except for one high oil (so not worth much). Indonesia have lost after attacking South Africa to attempt to get the regions back yesterday.
Indonesia one of the great powers once rules South Africa, Australia and some parts of the US in the combined attack from PEACE nations. The country has been on the down for some time now being the first nation to officially leave PEACE.

Belgium PTO by EDEN forces again

The USA kept a lot of votes in reserve for the PTO of Belgium so that when i went to bed Belgium for Belgians controlled 80+% of congress. The US now effectively controls Belgium with a majority with The Belgium Defensive Party and Movement for Belgium Party's now in power.
The Belgians now have just less than a majority in congress so if the win the president elections they will get there own people in control. Belgium congres can still donate gold away from the governmant and get it for themselves but it's better than last time and were hearing of negotians between the party's and it's looking like the Americans are not going to run a president.

Royal Navy creats a new Mobile Force
That's right the Navy has now created a new Military force for the UK. The navy has recieved a boom lately after the UK came under threat and the news was full of move to london which a lot of players have done and also join the Navy.
The new mobile force will be the Royal Marines and will require a strength level of 10 or higher. You must also be very active on the IRC

thank you C B Fry

Simply put this is a big win for TUP despite having just as many votes as UKRP they got 5 more seats compared. Is this a return for TUP to the election chain of victories?
TUP lost seats for the first time last month and has gained them this month with UKRP being the biggest losers along with BEP and PCP. RFA made supprising inroads into congress scoring many seats again.
UKRP got the most votes in London but in most other regions it was TUP first with 2 seats in Scotland.
BEP have now been deleted we are not exactly sure why or what is happening at this present time but we hope it is a bug and there are not 200 players without a party. Ok no idea what happened but it was probably a bug, the BEP have now returned, well they have in the elections thread but not on the party rankings. It looks like a bug so hopefully we can get this sorted soon
