Alliances everywhere, but where is this heading and why?

Day 1,181, 12:40 • Published in Canada Albania • by Roger Griswald


With today's announcement from PANAM's Secretary General regarding the alliance's first major clash with the other newly forming alliance New World Order, I wanted to provide a bit of an explanation on these new alliances and a bit of analysis on the where they are heading.



An overview of the two:

PANAM (soon to be renamed)

a proposed new PANAM logo (why is that bee there and why is it stinging eArgentina)

PANAM was created around mid December 2010, after eBrazil left Phoenix. Following their exit, eBrazil signed a MPP with the eUSA, later this grew into PANAM with eArgentina (also a former Phoenix Member) and eJapan (part of the Brolliance with the eUSA). In Late January, eCanada joined on a conditional basis pending the ratification of a charter deemed acceptable to its Congress. In Early February, eFrance joined joined the alliance with much hesitation. eTurkey joined on the 8th of February 2011 after ratification, however the actual eNation of eTurkey is currently wiped off the map by eGreece.

The alliance was the brainchild of the eUSA, who aimed to forged a new alliance and put an end to the long standing Pheonix/EDEN conflict.

New World Order (NWO)

not the official logo

The NWO was a concept forged in the wake of eBrazil leaving Pheonix and positioning to form a new alliance with the eUSA. It was at that time that the Pheonix alliance began to completely crumble. With the implementation of the natural enemy provision, the added benefits to the largest eNations in battles, made them relatively impossible to defeat. It was from this realisation that four of the five most experienced eNations began to contemplate a new alliance of the strongest armies in the eWorld. The alliance officially became an alliance following the exit of eSerbia, eIran and eHungary from Pheonix and ePoland from EDEN. ePoland's closest ally eSpain has since joined the newly formed alliance. There are also rumours that eSwedan has joined the alliance, however I can find no concrete evidence that this is the case.

Where will the alliances go from here:

As the eWorld is generally divided up into several mini-alliances based on economic and military cooperation, there are a couple of eNations that, once they decide which alliance to join, several others will follow suit. It is also important to understand that one of the reasons the NWO was formed was to avoid the larger eNations having to babysit smaller and less organised ones, which indicates that NWO will likely be picky about their additions.

The largest eNation not currently in one of the two new alliances is eRomania, who is sticking with EDEN for the time being. However, given their hostility to eHungary will likely fall into the PANAM camp. With this move, eCroatia (who hates Serbia), eUkraine, eBiH, and the all important eChina (for timezone purposes) will likely follow eRomania into PANAM.

eIndonesia has also yet to choose a side, though she has been asked by both. The eNation's long friendship with eBrazil and eArgentina will be a large determining factor for them, however given their extreme dislike for the eUSA, will likely join NWO. eRussia and eSlovenia are expected to follow suit.

In the southern Balkans a war has been waging between eGreece, eTurkey, eBulgaria and eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) for months. The conflict has slowed for now as eTurkey has found itself in a precarious situation. They are now members of PANAM and facing off against their new allies'; the eUSA and eCanada's; very good friend eGreece. As PANAM would be greatly strengthened by both eGreece and eBulgaria, the situation will play a key role in eGreece and eBulgaria choosing their future alliance, however given their dislike with eSerbia (and its satellite eNation eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM)), they will likely fall into the PANAM camp.

Of the remaining “big 20” eNations (in total XP) only the eUK and eGermany have not been contemplated. These two eNations have historically been very close allies of eFrance and would naturally gravitate in the same direction, especially given the eUK's recent positive relations with eCanada (just wrapped up a training war). However, recent agreements that the two have made for land-swaps with eSerbia indicates that they will likely not commit to either side in the short term and merely observe how the alliances stack up. However, this strategy will only work for as long as the two emerging super-alliances allow them to remain neutral.





Conclusion:

Once everyone settles into place, the alliances will likely be quite similarly matched, with an experience advantage to NWO, however timezones will play a lot into any future conflicts between the two with PANAM simply dominating prime time in North and South America and NWO holding a significant advantage over European prime time.
