Canada is down! Spain and Switzerland next? Turkey attacks Greece!

169 Day 625, 02:16 USA
Update day 626 - 8:50 eRep time

France attacked Spain . It seems that the high iron region of Fortis and Eden is at risk!

Hungary attacked Switzerland activating 11 of their Alliances. Not a fair fight. Switzerland would need more MPPs.

Bonus: Turkey is declearing war with Greece

If you missed yesterday the battle for Ontario check the movie about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0lVxyO93J4. On a brighter note see why Canada has fallen
.................

Update day 626 - 01:30 eRep time - Read the message of the Supreme Commander of PEACE to the Theocrats: Thank you to the Theocratic Party from PEACE . This should make some things more clear!
....................

This is my private opinion. Before you start screaming that this is PEACE propaganda I would like to let you know, once again, that I do not hold, I have never held any position inside PEACE.

Another fact that I would like to settle is that PEACE is imperialistic right now. PEACE countries have been oppressed enough in the past, but things have changed and they have become oppressors. In the future the tide will change, but now let’s focus on the present.

Citizenship
While PEACE was so successful doing PTOs everybody was screaming that citizenship is necessary. Now citizenship is working for PEACE again. Citizens of conquered countries have no chance to disrupt internally the countries that conquered them. Canadians can apply for French, UK, Iranian and Hungarian citizenship but these countries can just freeze citizenship so the conquered nations will never have a voice in political life. This way opressors will benefit from the greater population, bigger production and increased tax income generated by companies and citizen from conquered countries, while opressed people have no rights.

Canada
PEACE wanted to take out Canada from the war a long time ago. The first attempt to do this was the Hungarian PTO. The sole purpose of it was to get the majority in Congress and pass sign a peace treaty with France so the war would close and all MPP’s of Canada close. This way they could have kept a few regions. The second attempt to end the war was a peace treaty that required Canada not to fight for 3 months against PEACE and would have allowed Canada to keep a few regions, but they have rejected it. The final solution was the obliteration of Canada. This happens today in Ontario. After today there is going to be no Canada. The fall of Ontario will close the all open wars of Canada and deactivate their active Alliances. This means that when Canada will reappear on the map, they are going to have all signed Alliances but they are not going to be active, so they will fight on their own to get all regions back. Maybe Canada will not fall today, but it is not "if Canada falls" but rather "when Canada falls".

What comes next
The fall of Canada will take out from the North American War one more country – Hungary. As Hungary cannot fight against the USA, their damage, around 600.000 a day will be lost, so the USA and its allies can get the upper hand against Indonesia, Russia and Portugal. There are 2 options right now.

1. Hungary attacks USA. I do not believe this is a likely scenario as it would endanger the regions Hungary took from Canada. In a counter offensive USA could take those regions having all MPP’s activated against Hungary.

2. PEACE will attack another country which has an MPP opened against Hungary. I talk here about Norway and Spain. The main advantage that this action can be financed from the tax income generated by conquered countries and that it would take out more allies of the USA.

Norway
Norway has 6 regions and 443 inhabitants. The total cost of the operation would be 411 GOLD. Around the tax income of Hungary for one day. The war is already opened through Russia. Norway has no real military power but would establish a strong foothold for PEACE in Northern Europe and would get access to Sweden. The battles would drain serious damage for USA allies in this direction. Probably Sweden will focus only on this front.

Spain
This is a much bigger and much more interesting target. France has 10 activated MPP’s against Spain, including Hungary. An attack against Spain will divert the most damage from the USA, as around 80% of Eden and Fortis iron is produces in Asturia, Spain. The loss of that region could deliver a deadly blow for all anti-PEACE efforts. This would be a hard fought battle as Spain has a huge GOLD reserve, which exceeds 15.000 GOLD, so a victory against Spain would be even harder then a victory against the USA. Imagine battles fought in the same time in New Jersey and Asturias. Which region would Fortis and Eden protect.

Switzerland
They could block France in an attack against Spain, so before an attack on Spain, France must conquer Switzerland. The cost of this operation would be very low, as it would cost only 344 GOLD to attack all regions held by Switzerland. This would enrage Theocrats, but things are out of control already.

Croatia
After Norway, Switzerland and Asturias (even if not the entire Spain) I would go against Croatia. They must pay for what they did in Italy. I know you will accuse me that Hungary did the same to them, but we can argue for hours if the chicken or the egg was first. This all started when someone hit back. I bet that if the European front opened up Eden will focus less on the USA.

These battles could go one for the next two months. PEACE will have fun all that time. After that for a couple of more months resistance wars will rage all over the globe This will allow PEACE to train without wasting money, and when all these countries will reemerge, PEACE will have enough money to start from the beginning.

Maybe the tide will change. Maybe, I would say probably PEACE, including Indonesia and Hungary will be crushed by a new rising nation. But we focus on the present. Most of players leave the game after one year.

Come and join the dark side!

PEACE AT HOME!
PEACE IN THE WORLD!

With 5 hours to go the wall in Ontario stands at the middle +180.000. From this point one it is the same effort for Canada and its allies to secure it as it is for France and its allies to conquer it.

If Ontario will not fall today it will fall on the day when Florida and New Jersey gets attacked. It is just a question of time. To bad for them they did not accept to stay out of the war and keep at least a few regions.

I think Romania made a huge mistake by activating mpps with the Ukraine. It can be clearly seen from the previous world war that Romania cannot defend itself against Hungary and Indonesia at the same time. And by activating the mpps of Ukraine, the situation is again the same...

Zoli, I wouldn't dare attack Romania with just Hungary either, but through the Ukrainian mpps we have a reasonable chance to conquer even original Romanian regions... of course we know which ones I'm talking about;)

@galantai, clawy - this is why I would not attack Romania. Beside the fact Romanians and Hungarians speak a different language the two nations are very alike. If Romania would lose even one original region it would rise to the top just as Hungary did when Romania took original regions from Hungary.

I remember that one year ago Hungary was ranked 22 and now is second. All thanks to the fact that Romania took original Hungarian regions.

That is a path I would avoid.

Come on, it was not a coincidence that Romania tried to destroy Hungary last year... It is a game, but is fueled by RL emotions for the most part.

Our babyboom was mostly founded on the cry that Romanians are taking over eHungary. And it worked. And I don't think that only extremists and shovinists joined eHungary. A lot of moderate people came to defend their country too. I'm sure the same would happen to Romania. We take Erdély, you have a babyboom, and the whole game just got more interesting:) Don't you think?

Otherwise what will happen? We just destroy Canada, then the US, then we take Spain, and every further conquest will just be that much easier... In the end PEACE wins, and what then?...

The game is much more interesting if you take risks:) Taking Erdély would be a great risk... but that is what this game is all about, taking risks and enjoying the game:)

@Mihu Copilu: are we imperialistic? Yes we are, i will not deny that. I just said that if we really want to be evil, for some countries conquering them is not the solution. Ignoring them as long as you can is way better. Compare Romanian media and attitude now and in the period where you have important figths.

Here you can wage wars as you please, and no one will get hurt.

When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide to home
And ignite to bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try then you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide to home
And ignite to bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Tears stream down your face
I promise you that I'll learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...

Lights will guide to home
And ignite to bones
And I will try to fix you

Conquering Canada makes me feel good too, that is why I play. But Erdély is a whole different level...

There will always be rivalry between Hungary and Romania in everything, because of our RL issues. But as long as people realize that this is just a game (just like sports) and don't hate their adversaries, it can be fun for everyone:) Obviously less fun for those who lose, but we have seen in this past year that the tide can turn very quickly... so each of us will have their share of good times and bad equally:)

Talking about RL, you didn't get screwed at all. Otherwise you wouldn't have so many Hungarian players from Romania gladly fighting for the Red, White and Green banner. And trust me, they don't do that because they want to get back to us for being oppressed (which they aren't) or marginalized, but because they feel proud being Hungarian nationals.

Try not to hold this grudge on people nowadays for things that happened almost 100 years ago.

I'm not holding a grudge... I don't really have anything against Romanians, I don't hate them or anything.

For us 100 years are nothing... Our country has been standing for 1009 years now, 90 years from that is really nothing:)

But I wonder: for how long would you hold your grudge if 2/3 of Romania would be taken away? I know you as good patriots, so I would expect for you to feel bad about that for at least 100 years too...

That is a problem with regions of mixed population. Erdély (or Ardeal to you) is just as important for us Hungarians, as it is for you. Those in power should respect the others' feelings, so that the other side will respect theirs when they are in power. We Hungarians failed on some level to do that before 1920, and Romanians failed to do that after 1920...

We are all in Europe now, we should find a way to resolve these issues between us, so that Romanians and Hungarians can both feel comfortable in their homeland, Erdély (or Ardeal).

You say your country stand 1009 and you hold the grudge for 90 years.
This way we may say that in a form or the other our country stand here for over 2000 years and we hold the grudge for 1000...

And like you said, we failed to respect you after 1920, but even so you have schools in your own language here, you are represented in the Parlament, your language is used in public institusions, and lots more. Also the EU is not saying anything bad about the way your people are treated here so I guess it's prof enough. You know modern times...

While on the other hand the history is filed with crimes and almost slavery while you were the masters. I don't really blame you for those. You know medieval times...

Don't get me wrong I consider my self a moderate, my mom is Hungarian and my dad was Romanian so I can understand both sides, but in the end I live in Romania and I'm citizen of this country so I'll take it's side no matter what.

If some one considers that his long lost heritage is more important than his own country, that after all paid for his medical care, school etc... than maybe you should tell him about all that we are in Europe now bla bla... we all know who I'm talking about.

You may probably know that we had a sizable part of our territory taken away by the former USSR. Some of it is now independent, but the citizen were so denationalized that they are afraid to call themselves Romanians now. The other part is in Ukraine now and the remaining Romanians there can barely study it in schools or even print a newspaper.

Ochiul:

You are right, as I told you before: we Hungarians too are at fault for what happened to us. But that doesn't easy the blame on Maniu, Antonescu, Ceaucescu and all the others who have been destroying Hungarians in Erdély ever since 1920...

I may remind you, that before 1920 Romanians also were in the Hungarian parliament, they also had schools and they also could use their language wherever and whenever they wanted... You give exactly the same rights to Hungarians now, as we did to Romanians in 1900. The problem is that 100 years have past since, and human rights have evolved in Europe... Now the standard for minority rights in Europe is territorial autonomy. That is what the Romanian political elite haven't learned to accept yet...

Again: I'm not saying Hungarians are oppressed in Romania. All I'm saying is that there is room for improvement... we are all trying to catch up to Western Europe, here's a way to catch up faster:)

ok... I don't want to improve in the direction the bascs are improving in Spain with bombs... so I'll let you explain what you do understand by:

territorial autonomy

The subject so far was: is Transilvania a Romanian or a Hungarian region?

autonomy means for me none of the above.

So please feel free to explain what you really want.

If we take Transilvania as a hole, you don't get over 20-25% of the population as Hungarians.

So if you have 25% of the people asking for autonomy I don't see why should they be listen against the rest of 75%. Positive discrimination.

If you take the HarKov, the only region where the romanians maybe are in minority, that is under a quarter of Transilvania and most of the people there see them as Secui not really Hungarians. So again not really about our problem here.

still puzzles me....

@Galantai
I, and I know a lot of other Romanians too, am not against autonomy. Anyway the Szekler Land is already autonomous de facto. Until it will reach the "de jure" status we have a long way to go unfortunately.

The main reasons hindering this process are two:

1. Romanian politicians taking advantage of the nationalist views of a very large part of our populations to divert them from REAL problems like corruption, lack of infrastructure, etc by scaring them with the revisionist ghost for a few votes.

2. RMDSZ politicians who agitate the population for the same need for votes without really trying to do their best to develop and attract investments to the region.

So I would like to ask all people who comment to stick to this article and eRepublik only. Let's leave RL out of it as much as we can.

@Ochiul:

You are right! I would not want to go the Basque way either... that is why there is a need for autonomy, so that unsatisfied people will not start blowing things up. I would like to remind you: in Finland there are 5,6% Swedes and the official languages of ALL of Finland are: Finnish and Swedish. This is the European way...

@Mihu:

Nothing to add there, I agree with both your points completely. Let us hope that the de iure autonomy will succeed as well, so this issue will not be used anymore to cover up real problems in Romania!

This is it for me, I will honor Zoli's request to stop discussing IRL issues, although I think we had a pretty decent discussion and I'm sure there's no flaming here:) Good day to you all!

c'mon Zoli... this is what this game really is: RL in a E shell.
After all, the big Baby Booms come right after the facts like this

And like you said, nobody started flamming here even if we are way off topic or if we stood by our opinions, I don't see any f words, kill, die, or any other retarded things like that.

to bad you sent Galanai away, I really wanted to understand what this autonomy stands for, viewed from the other side eyes.

Like Mihu said this is just a way to get to power for some .... politicians. I don't see any use for it for the common people but who am I to know...

And since I'm stubborn I'll just give my final reply to Galantai before I'm out of here as well.

Just like us, you have above 5% rroms or gypsies. Maybe we should both apply the same principle as Finland and use the rroman language as official language as well. Lead by example...

Interesting.
But the main question for now I consider: what about Russia?
They're expected to be the upcoming superpower. What PEACE intends to do about that? Because in my opinion the rise of Russia is the problem not for EDEN or FORTIS, but in fact - for PEACE. Maybe they are PEACE member at the moment, but will it be the same in the future?
That intrigues me very much. PEACE destroyed Russia, stealing their resoruces, holding territories. I know them well (in reality) - they never forget. It could be very funny watching Indonesia and Hungary on their knees, I think
By the way, it's a bit hard for me to appraise your long-term prognosis, Zoli. What's bothering me in the moment is fact, that you seem to forget that people of the other side are also able to use their mind. Spain with its gold, Romania and Poland - there's lots of nations that prefer to attack rather than stay in permanent defence.
On the other hand, I'm total newbie in this game, so that my doubts could be also described as freshman's daydreams.

USA also gets a lot of high iron supplied from Greece.Then again, an attack on Greece would demoralize PEACE as a alliance of defense, as Greece has so far not done anything wrong to PEACE.

Hey you kids, knock it off! Don't make me tell the Austrians and the Turks!

This is a thoughtful article and a fascinating discussion. What I find interesting about PEACE-friendly articles is they always stop either at PEACE world domination or being overthrown by some as-yet minor power. Never do even their most forthright and intelligent thinkers admit that what will bring down PEACE is internal divisions. Whether it is eHungary resenting eIndonesia or eRussia resenting both of them this, more than, say, a baby-boom of actual RL Chinese (assuming the site isn't blocked there), is more than likely going to be what ends the PEACE Imperium. Curious.

PEACE attempted to PTO our Congress.
PEACE failed... twice.

When will you learn not to underestimate us, Zoli?

Keep preaching this doomsday prophecy against against us, and one day you just may be rebuked by the mouth of a donkey.

I think it's important to remember that regardless of what happens here in Erepublik, that it will not affect anything in real life. Nobody's going to die and nobody's going to be hurt. It is just a game, after all.

In fact, that's why us eAmericans and eCanadians keep talking the way we do - we're really a very small proportion of the total population of the United States and Canada. So even if we lose here, even if our e-countries are completely wiped off of the map, it won't change anything in the real world.

Another point to consider is that Erepublik isn't really a very good game. My roommate, who played this game till about level 15 and then quit due to boredom, described it as a half-baked Facebook with a half-baked war game built in. While I don't necessarily agree with those words, it should point out why any attempts to humble us with our loss here are ultimately doomed.

There are enough flaws in this game that we can point to those as the reasons we're losing, rather than due to our own skill. In fact, that's one of the reasons I keep talking about wanting to bring the game into better balance - if I'm playing a game, and I'm losing, I want to lose cleanly, knowing that the other side was better and more skilled, rather than constantly suspecting that the other side took advantage of loopholes in the game to win.

Anyway, here's to hoping that the admins keep working to make this game better and more balanced.

Zoli dear, about your so-called non-PEACE propaganda in the beggining of the article - the phrase itself is PEACE propaganda, because you don't need a position inside PEACE, you are PEACE.

Looking forward for the things to come, they will be a challenge for everyone.

I think you're ignoring a very important point regarding the Real World, namely that americans registering for the game seeing that the entire US has been conquered would likely not register, after coming to the conclusion that the game is taken over by people from other countries and probably doesn't have many english speakers, for example.

What I got out of this article. PEACE = Galactic Empire of new world.

They will attack and conquer more countries until they run out of countries. At that point they will fight each other.

Hungary wants to conquer Romania out of RL hatred, and Indonesia want to conquer America because they can't do much IRL so they try real hard in a game.
