America,
As we all know by now, Russia has decided not to sign the peace treaty with the terms that we all agreed to. In their greed and lust for power, they've recently demanded possession of New York from us. Apparently in a show of support for Russia, Hungary decided to demand that we not sign alliances with our staunch allies in Poland, Romania, and Croatia. Obviously, we cannot comply with these terms. Over the last few days, I've tried to work out a solution to their greed in a way that would be mutually beneficial to both of us. Something that would satiate their salivating, greedy little mouths, while giving us our sovereignty. Unfortunately, these power mongers will not be happy with any reasonable terms. Their intention is obviously to alienate the US from our allies while crippling us. This is unacceptable. Furthermore, it's become apparent to me that they are trying to take advantage of my good nature. This displeases me.
In light of our inability to come to acceptable terms, and Russia's recent http://www.erepublik.com/en/wars/show/639>attack on New Jersey, we will continue to fight. This is the only option we have left. Diplomatic means with our imperialist invaders appear to have been exhausted, I'm sorry to say. While I would have preferred to cockblock Peace and the admins(I know they would have loved to have published a great story about the battle of Florida(highest wall ever) on their blog), it seems like we're going all out.
Citizens of New Jersey, evacuate to Florida. Contact the http://www.erepublik.com/en/organization/1520136>Flying Unicorn for moving tickets if you can't afford any.
That said, I want to say a few words about the division in our country and in the allied countries, mostly in regards to the proposed peace treaty. Despite your complaints, I still believe that it was the best solution to the war. The fees were nominal and easy to deal with, and we'd only lose 3 regions. Without the treaty, who knows how many we'll have in a month? With the treaty, we'd have 48 guaranteed.
I understand the other argument, that honor holds priority, and that we should give our aggressors nothing. I like this outlook, it inspires a lot of positive things, which made it hard for me to seriously consider a treaty. However, the continued existence of my country held precedence. We can't get as many new citizens or make as much money being a shadow of our former selves. That's why I chose to propose a treaty. Now that Peace has decided to be irrational, that's out the window, so now our contingency plans are now Plan A.
We will fight. We may not prevail. In case we don't, we need to stick together. Sign up on http://www.eusforum.com>the forum, use the IRC, get to know the community. Sign up for the military with links found on the forum. Make friends, make allies, and work together. We're all in this together, so let's work together.

If the eUS is destroyed evacuate to eSpain?
Lock and load!
Let's hope eSpain will be there anyway... 🙁
What an absolutely interesting turn of events Martin Blumen has given us. Every time I see his avatar I have to laugh and give him much respect just for having balls the size of a Titan's.

PEACE is just making the game boring, it's not fun to have a huge power steamrolling everything that has "in the history of eRepublik offended them". And for each win they're just making the game more imbalanced...

Well spoken. I disagreed with the initial surrender, but I will say that Pres. Emerick has behaved like a statesman throughout this affair.
Now to test out the NJ/FL fortress strategy - let's make those hospitals work!
Tyrone...sadly, there will be no eSpain tomorrow
Tyrone: we'll most likely evacuate to Greece, but sign up for the military to receive orders
With the loss of so much possibly all of our country our last resource is our citizens. We must stay united and use that resource to find a way to return eUSA to the map.
heh
fail

Great Work Emerick anyways! If you americans needs a place to stay, move to Sweden!
Now I can get behind this. Sorry it came to this Russia, you militaristic, imperialist totalitarians. Get ready.
You're scrabbed now, Ruskies pigs.
Thank you, Mr. President for using your office to exhaust all options. I am sorry our foes have no common sense or decency left at all.
If the eUSA is destroyed stay in Florida and resist. The more people that run away the less chance we have of having our country survive.
The best that you can say.
And hopefully you won't be fooled anymore by PEACE.
You know now what type of people are. So don't trust them.
Never
As soon as I get my tickets I'm coming to flooooooorida!
Emerick is great.
"If the eUS is destroyed evacuate to eSpain?"
currently Spain is being battered by PEACE forces too
good luck to eAmerica!
@Beaa...the proper way to resist would not be to stay in FL if it is taken as there would be no hostpital left. If you choose to resist, move to the Q5 region of the occupiers and fight for the resistance from there so you can use their hostpital. Also, staying in a region you are trying to liberate only makes the cost of the RW more expensive (RW= 50g + 1/4 of pop)
Aaron is correct on the best way of fighting a resistance.
Beware of the military purge
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/emerick-military-purge--900419/1/20#comments" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/emer[..]ents
If you are in the military and you speak out against the administration's policy you will be removed. No freedom of speech.
Question to Russia: Are you simply idiotic or being taken advatage of? Your President steals all of your money, your Congress then keeps him in power with a suspitious number of congressmen voting no. The only thing that I can come up with for an explination is they were getting some of the gold too!
Then they reject a treaty that is extremely fair and profitable, why? You want more money Per-Region. There is only one logical conclusion, your treasury was basicly bare, they wanted more money to plunder, congrats you've elected the Board of Enron!

Here's a tip on how to fight one more time/day:

@ Roras
Sweden... haha!
too... much... bold... eyes... hurt...
Sweeeeet !!
@ Devan
The Russians wanted more gold because they owe a lot more than they would have gotten from selling back the territories to Hungary and Indonesia for the return of the Urals. Russia is OWNED by Hungary and Indonesia essentially. Yes it was a stupid deal to make, but can you blame them for wanting to pay that debt off ASAP?
The demand for a territory is really no surprise. The Russians pretty much publish the terms they are looking for to their citizens on a daily basis. Most likely even if the Russian President had accepted the treaty, the Russian congress would have not because a lot of them were angered that they did not get any conquests.
I realize that not very many Americans can read Russian, but if you cant, there are plenty of online translators, so you can see exactly what the Russians are looking to get out of this war. And why they're doing it. Its really not as "mysterious" as everyone wants to think.
Thank you for trying, Emerick (and the rest of our eGovernment).
I don't think that there's enough bold, pi_wo
Well fuck. Let's do this then.
Still with you guys as always 😁!
i love emericks fun-to-read typing style, he's the barack obama of e-rep
I appreciate your efforts to use diplomacy to solve the situation. It's sad when greed overtakes reason and speaks volumes of the imperialistic entity known [ironically] as PEACE.
Let us mark this day when a cornerstone of PEACE decided to bail on the original proposal (after one of their minions balked at the terms) for one day we will be able to throw it back in their faces as basis for our *own* justification for what we may do them.
How bold of you
oh now you're backpedaling out?
\o/
All of F/E moves to Central Greece and we effectively triple the wall in Florida!
Interesting and well written.
New Jersey is doing a lot better than I thought they would this morning. All of those suburban inground pools must form the equivalent of a giant moat.
I'll trust you again Emerick, as long as we fight to the dying breath.
@ Petras Invictus
Thats all true, but they have to realize that pushing us this hard will net them....drum roll please.....zip....nada. By breaking their word they have proven how untrustworthy they are and we won't sign another deal that gives Russia a dime!
@ PEACE
When I jooined this game I had a grudging respect fot you, I still do, you beat us, mostly fair and square. But by supporting those people you only weaken your own world image. Russia betrays us just remeber that we warned you, when you say.
"et tu, Russia?"
NUKE THE ********!
@ Devan
They might not gain anything from direct conquest, but they might pay off part of their debt by selling or giving regions to Hungary or Indonesia that they conquer...
I dont think PEACE has anything to fear about Russia betraying them: again, they OWN Russia for all intents and purposes. However, Russia certainly runs the risk of PEACE betraying them in the very near future, over money owed or out of boredom once they run over everyone else.
I certainly understand the animosity toward Russia at this moment: its very frustrating to seem so close to the end of fighting here only to have someone pull it away for obviously greedy reasoning. But personally, I think people are looking at the wrong boogeyman. Everyone would rather blame the puppet (Russia) than the puppeteers (Hungary and Indonesia). Looking at the big picture, the US has really only three choices at this point:
A) hope that some military miracle happens in the next 3-4 days and PEACE can start to be rolled back
😎 Be conquered, and most likely have to wait until the "PEACE War" when Hungary and Indonesia attack their "allies" out of boredom and someone offers the US independence in exchange for an alliance, and be indebted to that faction (similar to Russia's mistake); or
C) Capitulate and make a separate treaty with Russia in the hope of both rebuilding the eUS and peeling Russia away from PEACE.
Russia is the week link in PEACE to bring the faction down, not because they are strong, but because they are easily the weakest in the partnership, and most likely the most open to manipulation.
Question when did France get such a high population?
And have you ever pulled a Franco (HR that is)?
Finally (this is not a questions) I can't wait to fight in the battle for Florida, if it ever happens.
