Join the new world

Good day friends, allies, enemies, and everyone else, this is your eIrish MoFA team speaking. Today we would like to present another update on some happenings in the eWorld to you to keep you guys informed on what is currently happening around us. Before we begin, I would like to apologize for not publishing as many updates as I would have liked to, but my RL has been pretty busy lately, but I won't go into that. Anyways, onto the update.

The British Isles


As we see in this screenshot, ePoland still maintains a presence in the area for security reasons just incase any hostile country decides to AS or attack the eUK so that ePoland can quickly respond. Speaking of eUK, as many of you know by now, they were recently robbed of a large sum of cc and gold, much of which had been personally donated by private players. All fingers seem to point to the CP BigAnt and many of his ministers have resigned in an attempt to distance themselves from him and to express their disgust. We wish the eUK the best in recovering the money as we here in eIreland have been victim of robberies many times before and know what it is like to experience it. Militarily, eUK is suffering from the robbery as there are no tanks to supply fighters, leading to them being evicted from eCanada recently and now making it much more difficult to fight ePortugal, who has control over New Newfoundland and Labrador, giving them a bridgeway to attack eUK. However, eUK has seized the initiative and proposed a NE while ePortugal is busy fighting us in eIreland.

The Natural Enemy Law


However, eCanada looks to win the RW in N&L with a score of 20-2 in favour of eCanada, which would close the border between ePortugal and eIreland, aswell as the border between eUK and ePortugal.

Meanwhile, in eIreland, we have control over all of our cores, but are loosing our colonies in eCanada to ePortugal. However the war with ePortugal should soon be over once N&L in successfully RW'd. Overall, most people are very pleased with Seanan's CP term so far and everything has been going smoothly for us.

Western Europe


eSerbia's campaign in Western Europe has come to an end after their 2x Determination expired, with ePoland reasserting control over its colonies. Currently eSerbia is besieged in Thuringia by ePoland and looks to be kicked out of Western Europe for good. However, ePoland's capital was moved to West Midlands, so it will take some strategic maneuvering to move the capital back to the cores to reset bonuses. eFrance looks to be back on the map aswell, kicking eUSA out of its cores and removing eChile from several regions. However, currently eChile is winning in the RW of Paris. It also worth noting that eSwitzerland has all of its cores intact after being trampled by more powerful neighbors for much of eHistory. Recently, eHungary has made it's presence known in the area by occupying several of eAustria's regions as a gateway to eItaly. However, eChile has successfully blocked their maneuvers and formed a protective wall in eItaly, proving that Aurora genuinly cares for their member nations. Lastly, eGermark has also regained it's cores from eSerbia and is in the process of reasserting it's control over eDenmark.

The Iberian Peninsula


eSpain is currently recuperating from it's recent occupation while ePortugal is determined to have a go at the eUK, having NE'd them once, but Sirius/Aurora was quick enough to RW N&L closing the border to Azores and protecting the eUK while they dealt with eCanada. There are rumours that seeds of discord were sowed within Asteria/LETO since ePortugal is unhappy with eBrazil's entrance to Asteria while they were put in LETO and it is even said they are looking to warm up relations with Aurora. It also worth noting that ePoland still maintains it's presence on the peninsula in Andalucia just incase Asteria/LETO decide to attack eSpain again.

Italy and The Balkans


After facing an occupation by eGreece, eItaly is back on the map with most of it's cores intact, although eChile maintains it's presence in the area to protect eItaly. Meanwhile, the Balkans has seen alot of activity lately as per the usual for the area. In an epic battle, eCroatia managed to wrest control of the eSerbian gold mine in Belgrade away from eSerbia and has even managed to repel an eHungarian attack in Vojvodina. eBosnia is also experiencing success on the battlefield against eSerbia, having won battles in Western Serbia and Raska. eAlbania is also back on the map after being occupied by eSerbia. eUkraine also managed to launch it's first airstike in eHistory, managing to establish a base of operations in eMontenegro, however, they look to be kicked out in the battle for the North Montenegrin Mountains. It is also worth noting that eMacedonia managed to liberate two of their cores from eGreece so far and the battle for the third has recently began. eSlovenia has been in a state of peace lately as eHungary began to deal with eItaly.

Poland, Belarus, and the Baltics


ePoland has managed to successfully liberate it's cores from eSerbia, bringing peace to that part of the region. eBelarus is currently fighting for control of Vitsebesk from eLatvia, the war between the two being a ping-pong war. eLithuania is also fighting against eSweden at the moment, being another common war in the eWorld.

Denmark and Scandinavia


Currently eGermark is reasserting control over it's eDanish regions. Currently eRussia holds a presence in the area holding a core of eNorway as part of a rental agreement and formerly holding a region in eFinland as part of a rental agreement. Asgard is faring quite well at the moment with Sweden managing to attain the initiative in the war against eLithuania, and with other members being in peace.

Southeastern Europe


With the help of eTurkey, eUkraine has managed to push eMoldova out of it's cores with eTurkey taking the protective barrier role against eHungary and eRomania that eBulgaria once had. eRomania has suffered greatly since the introduction of eChile into their foray against eBulgaria, being currently nearly wiped at the moment after losing their territories in eRussia. Furthermore, ePoland has managed to launch a successful AS against their goldmine in eGeorgia and is now farming the gold they won in the tournament. eBulgaria is doing well at the moment, holding regions in eRomania and eUkraine in an attempt to rebuild it's bonuses. eHungary is currently focusing on an expansion west, forgoing the chance for expansion east like they did during the days of CoT vs. TWO.

Egypt and The Middle East


There is currently not much activity at the moment in the Middle East as eTurkey, eCyprus, and eGreece continue to farm their bonuses from the area. eIran, eSaudi Arabia, eUAE, and eEgypt have their cores occupied at the moment. eTurkey also managed to win a goldmine from the recent competition, allowing them to farm even more gold. It is worth noting that eGeorgia has freed itself from occupation by eRussia thanks to eRomania, but now has ePoland on it's territory for the goldmine, meaning that all three goldmines are now in Sirius hands. Recently, a very charged, RL based airstrike on eIsrael by ePakistan in Jerusalem occurred that many players denounced as an unnecessary importation of RL issues ingame. However, eIsrael managed to liberate Jerusalem, but are still partially occupied by eCyprus at the moment. Meanwhile, ePakistan continues to exist in Balochistan with the rest of it's cores occupied by eChina as per the agreement.

India


eIndia continues to be home to eIran, eUruguay, and ePeru with them having their cores wiped. eCanada and eChina also hold territories in eIndia at the moment aswell.

Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia


This region is currently at peace for the time being. eColombia still holds a presence in the region through Visayas. It is also worth noting that ePhilippines manages to hold onto a region despite being a usual battleground between eColombia and eIndonesia.

Oceania


Nothing much is happening in Oceania at the moment. eAustralia continues to be partitioned and occupied by eIndonesia, eMacedonia, and eChile. eNew Zealand also is partially occupied by eChile as a route for bonuses.

The Two Chinas and Japan


The two Chinas continue to dominate the region, with eROC holding eSouth Korea under occupation. eJapan has managed to free Hokkaido and is back on the map again.

USA and Canada


eUSA is currently at war with eFrance and has even had some cores captured, but quickly RW'd. They currently aim to retake Poitou Charentes and are leading in the battle for that rubber. Meanwhile, Canada has been sparring with eUK lately and has managed to evict them from their cores. We also look to be evicted from their cores aswell as ePortugal does battle with us.

Caribbean


eUSA continues to occupy eCuba for the Iron bonus, but an agreement has been worked out between the two governments to pay eCuba for the rental of the regions aswell as to pay them for the duration of occupation before the agreement was concluded aswell.

Mexico


Currently eMexico is occupied by eColombia so Aurora brothers fight hard to liberate them!

South America


South America is currently at peace thanks to T.E.T.A.S. It is worth noting that eBrazil has recently joined Asteria as a full member. In addition, eBolivia is also occupied completely aswell

Brazil Joins Asteria


Africa


eNigeria is currently partially occupied by eGreece and eArgentina for bonuses. eSouth Africa in a rare instance does not currently have any occupiers in it's territory, with eArgentina being the main occupier in recent eHistory.
