True Friends
Captain Briggs
PEACE
They're friends with everyone close to us.
Friends with the only people who could ever threaten us.
Friends with the most powerful countries in the world, and many of the weaker.
Friends with nations who lost their land, only to get it back.
Friends with with countries who suffered under ATLANTIS, and even under their own alliance - PEACE.
Friends to all our enemies, and friends to all our friends.
Friends to the UK, to Indonesia, and to Brazil. To Hungary, Argentina, France, and even small Japan. Mexico, another.
Friends to countries from across the globe, not just near to them.
Friends with not just the strongest, but friends to all who want them.
What of Fortis? What of the USA and it's ilk?
Friends with no-one far away, only those who near.
Friends who value power over all.
Friends who think that the weakest are there for their pleasure, and don't deserve to stay.
Friends who think that people, as large or really small, can be abused and terrorised, for simple resources and no more.
Friends who think that all decisions should be made by just a few, who share no spoils and keep all that come their way.
Which of these would be suit you best, for a long-term friendly pact? Those who value our membership, or those who think we lack?
Why hold grudges against those next to us, who want to make up for the past?
Why not realise what could be yours, sitting straight in front, a PEACEful, friendly, exciting place, where all enjoy their time? Why dwell on things that may not happen, not in one month, one year, or ten? Why sit on the fence during time of war, passive in defeat. It's lose-lose either way it goes, after all.
So get our there and do your bit, we could be that push they need. Support the side you know is best, the ones who truly care.
I stand here in Australia, my home country of birth, looking not at the past conflicts, but at the future far ahead. I say support your friends, care for them and cherish, all the time that you will have, and then we start to flourish.
Join the conflict, do your bit, don't sit back in disrespect. The answer could not be clearer, the values no right or pure. The experience gained from all these wars, for citizens new and old, the economy and all the rightful gains, the cherry that sits on top. For the greatest thing to come from this, the greatest thing for all, is the friendly bonds that we will gain, and the right to say, 'I bloody well gave it my all'.

If someone advertised this for me, say, 1000 impressions in Australia (or 10000 globally), that appears every 10 minutes? That would be wonderful to help the cause.
If not that's cool too.
Nice words.
Fortis? You may mean ATLANTIS, it fits lot more.
What is this 'atlantis'? Some sort of new alliance or something?
''What is this 'atlantis'? Some sort of new alliance or something?''
Former alliance, now it's gone. And we are trying to keep Fortis small just because overgrow isn't good thing.
Very True Article. Voted.
More progoganda, PEACE Has an empire spanning half the planet devouring those that stand in its way. US and Canada control no territory that was not theirs when the game started. I like eAussies a lot and I understand your desire to be on the "winning side" but please consider the cost. Bribing you with land that is rightfully eAustralian to begin with is despicable. I salute my eAustralian friends and know it has not been easy.
The lines for every sentence is annoying.
Now seriously I have a short span of attention.
Each time you put in a new line,
I forget the last.
It's just not very effective.
Now what was I talking about?
Oh yes, Kittens.
Etheodoria - i thought you were talking about cookies?
>More progoganda, PEACE Has an empire spanning half the planet devouring those that stand in its way.
Do you know what an empire is, champ?
PEACE/eIndonesia invaded eAustralia, wiping our enation from the map, and a year later still holds two regions. They weren't prepared to negotiate until we were strong enough to force some respect.
Atlantis/eUSA tried to help us regain our freedom.
Who is the true friend here?
the eUS and Atlantis did no such thing
the only thing that ATLANTIS did was to start a unsanctioned RW in eWA and undermine our negotiations
the eUS sat on their backsides and didnt help eAustralia at all
"the Charter of the PEACE Global Community was created and posted on August 27, 2008, Day 281 of the New World and signed by member nations over the following few days." (source: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/PEACE" target="_blank">http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/PEAC[..]PEACE )
"Indonesia-Australia War (otherwise known as the or the Indonesian-Australian War) was an armed conflict between Indonesia and Australia that took place between 13 April and 18 April 2008 in Australia." (source: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Indonesia-Australia_War" target="_blank">http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Indo[..]a_War ).
Now why do people blame PEACE for the invasion of eAus? 😒
...either that or the Aussies can show her Majesty that there still are real men alive. Men who fights for their freedom and stand up against oppressors.
Atlantis spent heavy resources trying to liberate Australia from Indonesia. Later on Australia wrote a contract with Peace GC stating that they (The Aussies) should not try to liberate themselves and if they so did they should lose also their last regions.
Australia had an agreement to join Atlantis once Australia reached 500 citizens. But instead the Australian leaders wrote a contract with their occupants and denied help from Atlantis.
That was a very sad day.
@Misho: The main flaw(s) in your argument(s) are:
1. eAus NEVER signed a agreement with PEACE, it was SOLELY with eIndonesia.
2. When we had the first RW, we had NO support from ATLANTIS (even though they said that they would support us - I think the reason was "timezone issues").
3. Where is this agreement to join ATLANTIS? I've never even heard of that until now.
Misho: after your country deceived and backstabed germany, conquering it all and making ATLANTIS disband... do you still feel good about yourself when you throw out exactly the same propaganda you used to do when supporting ATLANTIS ?
Holy shit when I read this it, I was reading it as a dramatic poem in my mind.

voted! Normally I'm against PEACE but they are definatly the way to go for eOz.
And yes people seem to fail to view Indonesia as justa a country not PEACE as a whole...
Voted. Great article 🙂
Death to PEACE and your garbage propaganda. Indonesia invaded us and still occupy 2 of our States once we get them back, then maybe we can talk about PEACE, which is fine because it will never happen.
You can't call yourself Australian and still be happy with a foreign nation occupying our States, pure and simple.
I wish there was a devote and desubscribe button. PEACE is a load of **** ****

Except that one of these region is too be released soon, and the other in a month.
Clearly, Indonesians are pure evil, they should keep them.
