global news: a greco-slovakian tragedy.
•
by chris jonadicus
Dear friends, hello.
Nowadays, we dont see the connection and the struggles of other smaller (or equal) e-nations around us, but its always important to see those around us and those who are interesting to us, either in a cultural, social or historical way.
From the many interesting e-nations of europe, one of them is e-slovakia.
My initial interest and desire to write about e-slovakia came when i saw this interesting article about e-slovakia :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/difficult-times-ahead-but-we-will-survive-and-prosper--2775540
In that specific article i was showing my support and interest for slovakia irl, as i was saying:
''Slovakia is a very cool country with a very interesting history, but i also found it weird that its name in slovak is so similar to the other slov-country, slovenia!
Certainly, slovakia is connected to czechia and it has a double cross as its coat of arms,
while slovenia is close to switzerland and it had a mountain as its coat of arms,
making each nation very distinct from each other,
But still, when in the slovak language slovakia is called SLOVENSKO, while slovenia, is called in your language as SLOVINSKO, its pretty damn confusing.
why is that? dont most people get confused with those similarities in the name?''
( end of old quote )
and with that, we move to other topics,
Such as when the heroic nathan5, CP of e-slovakia, showed his support towards the people of e-greece :

Or when he showed his support towards the people of e-italy :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/we-stand-against-oppression-we-stand-for-you-italy--2777134
In the e-italian government's own words :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/about-eitaly-s-independence-x2--2777097
and in this battle :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/636376
They showed that e-italy, just like e-greece or like any other independent e-nation, needs to be free and sovereign, without it getting bullied by other e-nations.
especially if its a neutral nation.
In that note, the CP of slovakia, nathan5, decided to make e-slovakia a truly neutral nation :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/slovakia-s-next-chapter-my-next-chapter--2776531
But that wasnt easy, as issues emerged :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/central-europe-battleground-action-packed-movie-2777656
And as a new path unfolded,
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/building-community-thats-what-matters-2777682
Until recently, asterian forces attacked neutral e-greece, in this battle :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/644894
And both nathan5 and citizen erased, the MoFA of e-slovakia decided to support e-greece against this unfair asterian attack to a neutral nation...
So, it all ended up in insults and threats from asterian members, which had this result :

with various quarrels and insults being thrown to the honourable CP of e-slovakia by some aggressors of asteria :

also here
https://www.erepublik.com/en?viewPost=25743268
but also here
https://www.erepublik.com/en?viewPost=25743316
Ofcourse for some people who might doubt e-greece's actions of leaving CODE and becoming an independent e-nation,
one can see those laws and articles :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Greece/295276
and
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-1344-2777804
but also :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/greece-embraces-neutrality-a-new-chapter-in-national-independence-2777776
To conclude, mr citizen erased, the MoFA of e-slovakia and a good statesman in general, said those things about e-greece, its neutrality and the difficult path ahead :
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/finding-balance-egreece-s-pursuit-of-neutrality-amid-asteria-s-uncertainty-2777999
I should note here that while im not against any alliance, i feel that noone should attack neutral e-nations or small e-nations simply because one can.
the right path is through evaluation of a case (to see if a e-nation is actually a threat or not), to check the facts (if an e-nation is actually neutral or not), and then to proceed as needed.
But an alliance should never attack, destroy or bully people into submission.
especially when those people belong to independent, neutral or small e-nations that obviously cant defend themselves.
This is what i think, and i feel that people should treat others with a basic modicum of respect and common decency.
So, how will the e-greek and the e-slovakian tragedy will unfold?
We will wait and see...

bully - 'someone who hurts or frightens someone else, often over a period of time, and often forcing them to do something that they do not want to do' (Cambridge Dictionary)
There are quite a few players / groups / even alliances which do this on daily/weekly basis in our eWorld.
I can confirm from other player/country experience, but also from my own experience.
And only in few cases eWorld knows about it - cos most of the threats are done over Telegram or ingame PMs.
In my eyes, each bully is just a weak person who is unhappy with something, and instead of making things better in his own backyard - he/she tries to get smth by forcing someone else with smth they find suitable at a specific moment.
One day, maybe I get the green light to publish a few articles of my own on this subject 😃 Until then - those who did the threats know who they are.. and those who received threats know with whom they have 'business with' - with cowards 😉 RL cowards in my eyes - cos I don't see a big diff if someone is bullying online or in RL - same coward, just 'another skin' 😃
indeed, i agree with you!
bullies suck, and they are truly cowards, without any dignity or honour.
people should respect each other, or to at least have some basic form of manners and of common sense.
thats the imporant thing.
Slovenia does not have mountins in their coat of arms because it is close to switzerland, most boring even eCounty, bit because it is mountin country and as I remember from ex-Yu education, it is Triglav in their amblem.
wrong. i never said that slovenia's coat of arms is due to its proximity with switzerland.
what i said was ''slovenia has mountains as its coat of arms, while its close to switzerland''.
two very different sentences.
Until a final agreement is reached between Asteria and Greece, we do not consider Greece a neutral country.
thats why diplomacy is necessary.
both sides need to sit in a table and to set out some terms and agreements, so that everyone can get the best out of the situation.
"i feel that noone should attack neutral e-nations or small e-nations simply because one can."
This is not realistic at all. It is like RL situation when children play hide and seek and the one who is hiding covers his eyes and says: if I can't see you, then you also can't see me.
a wrong analogy.
in our case, we have a powerful alliance attacking smaller, neutral and/or weaker e-nations.
in your analogy, it would be like an adult beating up teenagers.
it would be bullying and wrong.
or, it would be like some stronger kids demanding from others to play hide and seek with them, and to beat them up if they dont do exactly as they say.
either way, its wrong.
