Quote of the Day: “Over the last few months all of us in ONE have faced what is possibly the greatest trial of our times. We’ve been beaten back, wiped, and wiped again. Some of our countries, including my home nation of the UK, have suffered without a congress and have been reliant on reserves and donations. It’s been a tough time, and as far as the endless war goes, we’ve been on the back foot.” – Iain Keers (http://tinyurl.com/78yt393)





R.I.P. Don KronoX

Today, the eWorld mourns the loss of one of its greatest fighters, military strategists, and leaders. Don KronoX, who passed away in real life earlier this week was pivotal in growing eSlovenia into a formidable eNation that held its own in the toughest region in the eWorld (the Balkans). He provided for the military success of eSlovenia in campaigns against eCroatia, eItaly, and a massive expansion of regions that saw eSlovenia increase in size five-fold last year. Beyond his successes in eSlovenia, Don KronoX played a key role in securing eNew Zealand as a pro Pheonix/ONE eNation including serving as a prominent congress-member and country CP.

Beyond Don KronoX’s political and strategic successes, most of the eWorld will remember him for is prowess on the battlefield. With 76 Campaign Hero Medals and a whopping 506 Battle Hero Medals, he was a force to be reckoned with who regularly turned the tide of battles.

In honour of Don KronoX, tomorrow, Day 1,554, eCroatia and eSlovenia will launch a war to be fought in his name. All eRep citizens have been encouraged to fight once in the battle. Don KronoX’s official eRep obituary can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/8y38qew





eIndonesia Reduced to Two Regions

Following a series of losses over the last few weeks, eIndonesia appears to be breaking to the will of EDEN loyal member-nations in the Asia Pacific Region. A force that is led by eChina has seen great success in its campaign to wipe the ONE member.



eIndonesia currently finds itself with only two regions left, both of which comprise the eNations most Easterly border. The eChinese led campaign, which has pushed through eIndonesia from the North-West, launched its latest attack in the region of Maluku Islands. In an attempt to regain its Western regions, eIndonesia has launched resistance wars in eMalaysian held Sumatra and eChinese held Java (their former capital). Should the EDEN-friendly nations be successful in quashing the resistance wars and in capturing Maluku Islands, eIndonesia may find itself in a situation where it is without any regions in the next 48 hours.





Balkans Battles Rage with ONE Member-eNations Scrambling for Success

Eastern Europe and the Balkans are ablaze today with battles raging in 16 regions. In a massive EDEN offensive eRomanian, eCroatian, eBulgarian, eItalian, and eUkrainian forces are attempting to wipe three of ONE’s largest member-eNations eSerbia, eHungary and eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) off the map this week, preventing the giants from holding Congress elections, thereby locking the eNations out of spending tax money, approving citizenship requests and adopting resolutions.

In the southern Balkans eBulgarian and eItaly have been squeezing eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) from both sides. With only one region left, eBulgarian hopes to complete the wipe of the eNation today, by capturing the region of Western Macedonia.



In the central Balkans, eCroatia is fighting hard to capture the four remaining native eSerbian regions. They did however suffer a setback earlier today as eSerbia successfully regained the region of Vojvodina in a resistance war. eRomania is hoping to expel eSerbia form within its borders today with a resistance war in the region of Muntenia.

In the Northern Balkhans, eSerbia is desperately trying to secure regions away from the reach of eCroatia, and saw success yesterday in capturing the region of Subcarpanthia from eUkraine. Today eSerbia is hoping to push further into the eUkraine by securing the region of Galicia and Lodomeria, a move that should ensure they are not wiped from the map before the 25th.

In the Western Balkans, eHungary is fleeing from the reach of eRomania, having declared war on eAustria, eHungary has fled to capture all but one eAustrian region. However eRomania has been right at their heels, chasing them across the Austrian Alps. In fact a quick look at the map shows that eRomania has extended its reach, chasing eHungary, across five regions, but may have hit a wall as eHungary has launched a resistance war on eAustria’s behalf in the region of Saltzburg. Should the resistance war be a success eHungary will have blocked eRomania's advancement and could have successfully thwarted eRomania’s attempt to wipe them before congress elections.





Several ONE Member-eNations Fight to Hold Congress Elections

The ONE alliance was founded but the eWorld most powerful eNations to prove to the rest of the eWorld that when combined in force ePoland, eSerbia, eSpain, eIndonesia, e Republic of Macedonia(FYROM) and eHungary would be unstoppable. In an effort to benefit form the success of the core ONE members, a number of smaller eNations jumped on the band-wagon (eUK, eSweden, etc.). For several months ONE did just what they proclaimed they would, conquering most of Europe and the Americas. However, their agressive approach to capturing the eWorld has been nipped as of late. In fact, it is now ONE that has fallen prey to the combined forces of the “second-tier eNaitons” who are predominantly aligned in Terra and EDEN.



In the current geographical landscape, eRepublik of Macedonia(FYROM), eSerbia, eHungary, eIndonesia, eSpain, eIran and eUK all face the very real threat of being wiped from the map in the next 72 hours and thus be unable to hold congress elections, which will prevent the approval of citizenship application, prevent them from spending tax funds, and prevent the adoption of resolutions. Should T/EDEN be successful in wiping even half of the list above, ONE will face incredible internal scrutiny from its membership, which many believe will lead to its demise as an alliance.
