Days 1540-41 AMERICA INVADED! (But it's alright!)
Israel Stevens
Days 1540-41 -
As expected, Croatia was able to easily dispatch Mexico, and quickly wiped the pro-ONE nation from the map. This wipes out a front for Croatia, and although they still have to deal with a Mexican Resistance, they no longer have to send damage to counter direct Mexican attacks.
But the most important news to come from North America, is that the Philippines have declared USA as Natural Enemy. The attack will come later this evening, in Hawaii. If this move comes as a surprise to you, fear not. The Philippines are still the good guys, and this is all part of a massive land swap. The idea, is to have the Philippines attack the USA and gain a border with Croatia, which would allow the Croats to use the Philippines as a land-bridge, and bring the Balkan Nation halfway across the world, and into South East Asia.
Proposed Land Swap
All Americans are asked to NOT fight against the Philippines. This is a purely peaceful maneuver, meant to help our brothers in Croatia.
[Editor’s Note: My personal opinion on this swap, is that the USA is risking far too much. As Bro as Croatia is, the only way for this to work is to commit significant American damage, and that will likely mean the loss of our foreign regions, and our 100% bonuses.]
In Western Europe, Spain returned to the map in the Balearic Islands. However, Brazil was swift to counter, and is already in the process of declaring Spain as their Natural Enemy. This will mean another quick wipe of Spain, and another prominent ONE nation not on the map.
The Romanians ended up losing in Souther Great Plain, to the Hungarian Resistance. In the span of about a day, they ended up losing four regions to the Resistance, with Southern Great Plain being only the first. However, they have already re-attacked the SGP and are about to reconquer it. But even with that success, it doesn’t undo what Hungary was able to pull off.
A little bit to the North, Russia and Poland have been at war. Currently, there is a fierce battle raging for Mazuria. This region is very significant, because if Russia loses this attack, then they will lose initiative, and allow Poland to attack Kalingrad, the last Russian region with a border with Poland. This would allow Poland to turn their focus to the East, and work on Germany and France without being distracted by Russia.
Edit: Just kidding. Apparently Kalingrad borders Leningrad Oblast, making that entire paragraph irrelevant.
Northern Poland, Mazuria shown
From a battle stand point, there is little of note from this region, although the United Arab Emirates are back on the map, after a successful Resistance War against Turkey.
But more importantly, are matters of Alliance. Bulgaria has firmly stated that they do not want Turkey to join EDEN. And as one of the most powerful members of EDEN, Bulgaria’s words have a lot of weight behind them. Four of the Top 5 Media Articles in the United States, are about the Bulgarian/Turkey conflict. Without Turkey in EDEN, the Turks would be in relative limbo, unless TERRA decides to offer them a home. At the moment, they have a powerful empire, but without a solid MPP stack to back that up, they may quickly become the whipping boys of the region.
This region could heat up in the next few days. The potential addition of Croatia to this region, will likely put Indonesia in trouble. However, the proposed land swap is very complicated, and may not work out. Also, Indonesia could attempt to block the maneuver. We will see.
Overall Analysis
Although an invasion of America is always big news, this one is planned, and everyone should be ignoring it. Even though I have deep reservations about this land swap, and the affect it is going to have on America, I do hope that it succeeds. I just hope the cost is bearable. For now, Eastern Europe remains the World’s hotspot, as any other conflicts between TERRA/EDEN and ONE are falling TERRA/EDEN’s way.

Well done. Let's get this shouted from the mountaintops to avoid massive derpitude.
the potatos of the world support this article
So much win in this article.
Broatia forever.
Losing 100% is unacceptable.
So nice to see this paper again!
Can someone explain to me why Croatia is even in South America? I thought the bonuses only counted with a direct transport route (I've been incognito lately)
So we are not supposed to fight in Hawaii?
Can I'z still have pineapple on my banana split?
I'm kornfuzed. Burpp...
More Kahlua please!

shadow6463: The original Croatian regions were wiped some time ago, putting the Croatian capital in New Croatia. The original Croatian regions are the regions not providing any bonuses.
Losing 100% is wholly unacceptable; I think this concept needs to be reviewed and another way found to help our allies without losing a single state for any period of time. Perhaps invading Croatian Mexico directly then creating their bridges without involving the eUSA.

Losing one isnt going to hurt us or take away from our bonus but I still dont understand what the hell the plan is can someone give it in more detail please ?
Why would we need alot of american damage ?
Now this sounds like fun.
@Playa we'll need lots of damage to counter the 2clicker damage. All the noobs saying 'OMG AMERICA IS BEING INVADED!!! FIGHHHTTTTT!!!!!' That's a lot of damage, that the military units are going to have to re-deploy to cover.
This will not cost us any bonuses what so ever.

So, how can we help establish a direct transport route back to their capital from Mexico? With our emphasis on resource bonuses (it being a treasonable offense to threaten them =^P), Croatia having only four out of a possible ten must not be a good thing.
There has to be a better way.
I'm CP of the ePhilippines and I approve this message.

If there was a better way rather sure they would have taken that route people. I highly doubt our leaders just took the first idea on the table without looking into others.
Kristof, many avenues were explored to help Croatia gain resource bonuses, but due to the pig-disgustingness of certain not-to-be-named countries, the USA had to step up to the plate.
oblige o/
This also might allow New Croatia to gain and hold New Mexico,Colorado and some other states with resources we have in abundance and they do not.
The last time we tried giving Canada a resource (oil from Alaska) US citizens freaked out and took the state back.
good report indeed
"Kalingrad, the last Russian region with a border with Poland"
Kalingrad has border with leningrad oblast so Poland cant end this war ;d
