“And we stand tall
Sons of the snow
We will not fall
Under these blows
For our hearts they are hardy
Our spirits are strong
And our voices are lifted into
This Sovngarde song”


Today something strange happened, our war ended and I was one of the people that was not satisfied. Over the past few months I have become known as a “Canadian sympathizer” since I have been pushing for an ending to this war, yet today those that opposed my stance are satisfied with the decision to retreat fully. You see I didn’t want to end the war in order to simply end the war for Canada, I wanted to end it to protect our allies and get bonuses secured as much as possible by signing a NAP. We went into a war and spent millions on it and used it to justify our taxes, now we back out without any economical benefits.

There is one thing that I agree with Molly Emma on though, we need to help our allies. How are we going to do this though? Direct wars against the enemy is usually the best way to help out since it gives our citizens 10% more damage and opens another front that needs to be controlled. We have recently written a NAP with Argentina stating that we can not directly attack them. Every time our friends are in trouble and enemies are closing in it seems like our go-to strategy is to sign a NAP, this happened previously when Mexico got wiped by Colombia because “We had to focus on Canada” instead of helping our allies. These NAPs means that we have very limited options on movement.


Organized NSC + Informed citizens = Deadly combo

Last article I said that knowledge is power. The more the citizens know the easier it is for them to decide when and where to fight and when to back off. This has not been the case in these past few months, even the NSC has not been up to date on where to fight which lead to us hitting for Russia in a region that they actually needed to lose. When the NSC is not up to date, how can we expect anyone else to be? Molly promised that we would have better communication and that articles would be released to inform us on the current situation of the world. We are 22 days in and we are yet to see these. Bad priorities and poor activity updating the priorities is something that should be avoided in the NSC, they need to be on their toes because they handle the most precious thing that erep has, directed damage.

So first of all I plan to start these articles again. In the past these articles were my responsibility, and I will make sure that they will be released on a regular basis again. Second, I will be getting some experienced people in and mix in some of the current crew that I think is just lacking experience to educate them on how to run the NSC.

It really is time for our NSC to get back to its former shape where things actually worked smoothly. We are not the strongest country when it comes to manpower, but we used to be one of the strongest strategical countries.

Future goals

This is a game about economy and politics but mainly war. Politics decide wars which decides the economy of a country. Obviously going out there and taking a region from one of our neighbors is not that hard, since we do not have any nations next door that are able to deal LOTS of damage against us in the long run. We do still have the problem that any country has, which is keeping that bonus, and being able to provide our citizens with them not only for a week or two. Now that we have a peace with Canada we can focus on making a rental agreement with them to get our bonuses. Details on this will be in the next article.

The main goal will be to directly influence work on our European frontier. We can not sit back in our cores and let our enemies take advantage of it, we have to activate our player base, which is the most important resource our country really has, active fighters! We know that when we have an eUS battle up, our people hit hard, really hard and we need to use that. It is crucial that the alliance fights as one to make sure that damage is not wasted to overkill battles. If we control Europe then we are rather safe from invasions.

We were once a military super power in the eWorld. It is time for us to start working on becoming one again. Knowledge is power, power leads to victory.
