Around the World in 60 seconds : Day 1,151
Roger Griswald
Todays highlights:
- Ukraine may finally be able to prevent an eRussian PTO next month
- eBulgaria and eMacedonia continue their volley, eBulgaria may have turned the tide
- eItaly continues to suffer losses in the ongoing battles with eSlovenia
- eSerbia distracts eCroatia in South Dalmatia
Quote of the Day
“already tried my best for you, and failed, and with that, I say my final goodbye, to the media, and eCanada.” - Wes Lewis (impeached CP of eCanada)
eUkraine
Following what has been a devastating series of attacks from eRussia, matters have improved slightly for the eUkraine today as eSlovakia voted the eUkraine their natural enemy and then immediately attacked Subcarpathia, one of four remaining eUkrainian regions.
The two eNations have worked out a deal where eSlovakia will capture one or two eUkrainian regions, thus preventing eRussia from capturing all of the eUkrainian regions. Should eRussia have taken all of the regions and been able to hold onto them past the 25th of the month (which is likely), then citizenship for the eUkraine would have become open affording eRussia the opportunity to PTO the eNations yet again. On or near the 23rd, the Ukraine will launch a resistance war to regain control of the eSlovakian region(s) and proceed with Congress elections.
The eUkraine, who has a stack of MPPs(ePoland, eCroatia, eChina and eRomania), is receiving little aid from their allies as other conflicts in Europe are drawing all of the attention.
eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) and eBulgaria
Following their success in the resistance war against the eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) yesterday, eBulgaria is hoping to build on the victory and continue their effort against eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM). Today eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) attacked the eBulgarian region of Ruse, however with eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM)’s allies, namely eTurkey, distracted by other battles, eBulgaria and her allies are experiencing marked success (securing the first three mini-battles of the day).
eGreece and eBulgaria are coordinating their joint offensive against the close allies of eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM) and eTurkey in hopes of turning the tide in the ongoing conflict that has consumed all four of the southern Balkan neighbours and resulted in major baby booms in all four eNations.
eItaly and eSlovenia
eItaly just cant seem to catch a break in their war with eSlovenia, which has resulted in eSlovenia capturing more than half of eItaly’s regions. Today eSlovenia hopes to continue their success with the capture of the region of Abruzzo, a region rich in oil.
eItaly's supporters had launched resistence wars in the eSerbia occupied regions of Trol and Upper Carnlola, however these battles seem to not be drawing nearly as much fire power away from the eSlovenian battles in eItaly (eSerbia has committed a number of fighters to aiding eSlovenia) and as the battle is currently trending eSlovenia and her allies will take Abruzzo later today.
eSerbia and eCroatia
Following their successful expulsion of eCroatia from eMontenegro earlier this week, eSerbia has decided to, yet again, move against eCroatia’s native regions. Yesterday, the super power attacked South Dalmatia. However they did so mostly to distract EDEN members away from conflicts raging throughout Southern Europe. eSerbia has yet to even post battle orders directing its citizens to fight in the region, instead directing them toward the resistance wars in their occupied regions in eAustria and eSlovenia.
eCroatia should easily win the battle, currently finding victory in six of the eight mini-battles fought so far.

WTF is RoM(FYROM) Roger?!?!? My country name is MACEDONIA!! Not RoM or FYROM...please respect that!! Name is a name, you can't change it whenever you or someone else feels ......... MACEDONIA PLEASE REMMEMBER THAT!!!
Well seeing as how the official eRepublik name is "Republik of Macedonia (FYROM)", I'd say he's accurately described your country
Lighten up Sun Warrior, Nobody cares but you about your stupid name debacle
Heheh me liky "RoM (FYROM)" : D
Listen up children you can't do mistakes like this. Why?! Because you will offend someones nationality and country name. And Rolo Tah....... maybe its not a name debacle, but its a problem and a mistake! I really hope that Roger will correct this.
WTF is that eRoM(FYROM) loool
crazy ignorant person ...
Dont play with the name ,just write like every other normal person in the world -Macedonia-
Beside of this game ,Canada recognize Macedonia as Macedonia ,so dont play with your keybord ,rom ,prom grom
OK @ all the pissed off Macedonians, i will forever be calling you what the Admin (or plato o whatever they are calling themselves these days) officially labels you as. If the change they name in-game to Macedonia, I will call you Macedonia. I will always piss people off with the name, irregardless of what "you" say in my comments (the greeks are as vocal on this one). My personal feelings on the matter aside (feel free to PM me for them), I will only use the name of the eNation (ie, the name in the game, not in RL).
If you think RoM(FYROM) is bad try being Republic of China (Taiwan).
That being said, I appreciate your anger with the situation.
Roger i don't need your silly petty words. As you said, just use the name od the eNation, i really don't know a country named RoM(FYROM). My country name is Republic of Macedonia! So PLEASE! Don't make these kind od mistakes again, and if the greeks or the bulgars are vocal again i have an idea...Change their contry name and see what happens!
@Sun Warrior: if the name was eRepublic of Macedonia, thats what I would call you, but the name in-game is Republic of Macedonia(FYROM). Hence why I am calling it that. just check the country stats to confirm.
OMG! ....really no comment!
Roger, write Republic of Macedonia, not RoM!
One name we have ... MACEDONIA !!! Remember the name or you'll be screaming it latter ...

SunDude, use your inner voice, ok? This is The Republic of George Kirk (Canada) and we don't Type angry words at each other over here, alright? If we really wanted the opinion of the Macedonians we'd just ask the Greeks.... mmm-K?

Great work as usual Roger.
Voted

Roger bleeds Crimson.
@Wes Lewis
What's ur point?
Macedonia is good with Turkey
Thanks Roger!
Great article. Voted as always.
Just a little correction:
"Today eSlovenia hopes to continue their success with the capture of the region of Abruzzo, a region rich in oil (a resource eSlovenia currently does not have)."
They do have an oil region - the previously conquered Marche.
Cheers! :😁

@Gabriel, right you are. Cheers mate.
Let's say if the official eName of eGreece is "eGreece(The Gays)" will you call them with "The gays" part or not?
My point is just some things that u wrote offend us, Macedonians like a nation.
Wes go lick something
Roger, great article exept this little mictake of yours.
Voted, as usual, a nice article;
@Wes Lewis:
"No offense but you can't make multis in RL, so if you actually got in a war with anyone in Europa besides maybe Kosovo you would lose..."
OMG, WTF are you talking abouth? Why should we go into war in RW, we are peacefull and tolerant nation, and perhaps too damn tolerant, maybe that's why we are taking all this crap abouth the name and everithing else.
To my fellow country men, they have been always refering to us with FY@#$, they will not change that, nor do they want to, nor do they care, to them we are just a sh*thole in the Balkans, why should they care, they live thousands of miles away and are utterly un-effect by our issue.
So, calm down, let them do what they want, we know we are Macedonians, thats all that counts.
Voted a.a.
@All eRepublic of Macedonia(FYROM)s
If you can't accept how crappy your eCountry's name is, move out of it and stop complaining, okay? Also, it isn't a mistake of Roger, he meant to write it because on the world map, does it not say Republic of Macedonia(FYROM)?
... OH MY GOOOOOD! Admin calls you Republic Of Macedonia(FYROM), if Roger had said Macedonia, a bunch of Greeks would be complaining. Republic of Macedonia(FYROM) is used because it is clearer because there is a region in Greece called Macedonia. GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!
A NAME IS A NAME!
P.S. I don't understand why a bunch of Serbian multies care... but anyway, Montenegro is also a bunch of Serbian multies.
FYROM...
u mad???
Balkan Multies = poo
Seventy-third!
@anonymoushooligan
"FYROM...
u mad???"
Former French Colony of Canada, or FFCC...
u mad???
PS. No offens to the Canadians.
Actually, nonconformist mkd, we're the Former Aboriginal Colony of Kanada.
My god all the complaining, voted.
@Sun Warrior
You're clearly a new player that wasn't here when the greeks went apeshit when Macedonia was added. The name has been decided on. Calm your tits.
@all those Macedonians
Quit whining about your name the admins chose it and if they put just, "Macedonia" it would tick off the Greeks! Heck, "The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" is what they called you in the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver last February if I remember correctly and no one gave a crap!If you had your way, than all the Greeks would be complaining that Macedonia is a name of a region of their country. So either way it doesn't work.You can call yourself, "Macedonia" but we, as players just go with the admins choice of "Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)"
Oh yeah and if Canada was a former anything we are "The Former British Dominion of Canada which came from the Cree word, Kanata, which means village" Or in precise English we are "The Former British Dominion of Village" or "The Former British Dominion of Kanata" take your pick! FBDOCWCFTCWKWMV,FBDV,FBDK,Canada, or what about the names some people suggested when our country was created. Efisga,Mesopelagia,Tupona,Vesperia,and Borealia? Seriously stop trolling!
@Moo Zerkaboodle
Actually I'm 3 years in the game, so that gives me very big right to says something to you younger players...And thanks for your update on the greece apeshit...i was one of the reasons for that.
@jumpy one
The only thing trolling here is you my friend
....And people Roger corrected his mistake in the article about the name, so please stop with the stupid insults!!!
A country deserves the name given by its inhabitants; no one else!
If the people living there call their country Macedonia, then their country is called Macedonia. End of story!
Else, I would like Greece to be called Pussies. It has as much justification as FYROM has!
I agree with the RoM guys, you can't use the Greek argument. It is not up to the Greeks to be offended about another country's name.
AND DID YOU JUST SAY "IRREGARDLESS"? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH
Bak in Albania we are to call them Macedonians, not this FYROM. What this means???
lawlz that was my FOB imitation
