Dear citizens,

The war between Indonesia and Romania seems to keep making headlines in eRepublik as new direct confrontation between the two countries has begun. At stake is the West Siberian Region, which holds vast resources of oil, iron, and wood. Two weeks ago, after a fierce battle, in which about one million points of damage were inflicted by the two opposing sides, Indonesia managed to conquer this region from Romania. The Romanians have been planning to get the region back ever since. In the meantime, the population of Indonesia reached ten thousand citizens, making it the second most populated country in eRepublik, and the first in total number of experience points.

We are witnessing historic moments as the largest battle that has ever taken place in the New World is being fought right now. One million points of damage were dealt in the previous battle for the West Siberian Region, but the current conflict has surpassed this staggering amount of damage only in the first twelve hours of fighting.

War preparations were made as many Indonesians moved to the West Siberian Region in order to strengthen its defenses. In order to gain access to the West Siberian Region, Romania first had to take control of the Urals Region, which was part of Norway, an allied country. Norway willingly ceased control of the region, and PEACE tried to prevent this two days ago by opening two resistance wars in Urals and Volga Regions, formerly belonging to Russia. As a result, the Norwegians lost control of the Volga Region, their only region with high grain resources.

While Russia has managed to get back one more region from Norway, Hungary is also a country which managed to restore much of their original territory in recent time. Hungary and Indonesia proved to be reliable partners, fighting together against Romania and Atlantis. Results were quick to show as Hungary managed to conquer two regions from Romania this month. The last of the two even proposed that Hungary sign a peace treaty, but the proposal was rejected with 12 votes to 0 by the Hungarian Congress. In fact, Hungary attempted to conquer a new region yesterday, but with little success.

As you can see, Eastern Europe remains at the center of military warfare in the New World, but Spain also decided that now is the time to attack Portugal. Portugal and their allies from PEACE had just recently stopped the war with United States after conquering all the original Mexican regions previously occupied by the US. Peace negotiations between Mexico and the USA are underway, and it's interesting to note that former American president Dishmcds leads the Mexican delegation. An agreement seems to be far from reach at the moment as the Mexican side has high demands, and it seems unlikely that PEACE would attack the USA on their own territory in case they don't comply with those demands.

As we have said previously, the population of Indonesia reached ten thousand citizens. There was also a forum contest regarding this matter, which was won by Julius Rodvigo and Sir Olf. Both of them guessed that a new country will reach ten thousand citizens on day 483 of the New World. We can say that this happened sooner that most people had expected a month ago when the contest was held. It probably happened sooner than we expected too, and we would like to thank all of you who are currently enjoying eRepublik and are part of this great community.
