Our History of Political Takeovers

South Africa
The first political takeover happened in South Africa when Indonesia sent a group of their citizens over to gain the presidency. The world was astonished that something like this could happen, however were used to political foul play due to previous use of multi accounts. The forums exploded with the news as always, crying out about how immoral the Indonesian actions were. Despite the fact that the situation was given so much attention, there wasn't much that people could do about it except complain. Eventually the situation died down as there were other things to worry about in our New World.

Greece
Probably one of the most known political takeovers was in Greece where the Goons from forums took over the country. Using their massive numbers, the easily overthrew the previous government with over 400 votes for their president Rathern Holten. Although not from a different country, this event unsettled the world’s population, fearing that it could happen to their country next.

Germany
After using their military force to takeover Poland, Germany found that those actions were a mistake. DKN, with a heavy heart realized that with the help of forum recruits, it made the population of Poland explode. Since Poland was now a part of Germany, the Polish population outnumbered the German population. The elections proved that when Polish radicals took over office and began to destroy the country in revenge for losing their sovernty. After starting a war with Sweden which they intended to loose, and destroying their currency value, Germany was eventually no more.

Turkey
Similar to Greece and Germany is the takeover of Turkey. After taking over a huge majority of Greece in a war, Turkey found that the goons had now invaded Turkey's population. Come time for the General Election, the goons voted in their candidate with over 600 votes. Being one of the most recent takeovers it is still unclear what the goons plan to do with this new country now that they have a more stable economy than that of the dying Greek remains.

Ireland
A rather subtle takeover, was the one that the Romanians pulled off in Ireland. By moving people to the country 11 days before the general election, they sat there quietly. posing as simple workers they waited until a day before the General Election. They then had everyone move to one political party in order to gain a majority of the votes and took the election. Although we have not seen Romania's true intentions of what they plan to do with the country, it shows how easy and popular these kind of takeovers are becoming.

Mexico
Currently the attention grabber of the world at the moment, Spain allegedly sent Alfonso, a mystery citizen into Mexico to take control of the country. Without warning, Alfonso’s won the election with just 50.63% of the votes. Out of the three takeovers that occurred during this most recent election, This one probably has the biggest impact, as Alfonso is attempting to declare war on Spain in the hope that he loses. The strange part of this event is that neither congress wishes for this to happen and so Alfonso’s plans will stay at a stalemate until the dust settles. For now all eyes will be on Mexico and Spain, waiting for something to happen.

The Connection

So just what do all of this situations have in common? After each takeover, the general state of the country was left in ruins for one reason or another.

South Africa: taken over by Indonesia via military force.
Greece: lost economic power due to Capelli King printing billions of GRD
Germany: Taken over by Sweden via military force.
Turkey: suffering economic decrease in dollar value
Irelan😛 People’s rebellion lead to 1% import taxes and suffering domestic economy
Mexico: on the verge of being taken over by Spain via Military force.

This would obviously tell us that Political takeovers are bad right? Perhaps for the country that loses its power, yes but what about the country that is behind it?

Indonesia: currently occupies South Africa
Goons: had control of Greece for a time
Polan😛 got their revenge on Germany by assimilating the country into Sweden
Goons: acquired a stronger country with a more stable economy.
Romania: has control of two countries, with which they can do whatever they please.
Spain: same as Romania only with a negative reaction from the world community.

Now of course in each of these situations, a negative reaction is inevitable due to the fact that a country is losing its sovernty. So with the bad PR that comes with the situation, is it all worth it? Why don’t you ask the countries or groups responsible.
