PEACE DECLARES WAR ON CANADIAN ALLY UNITED STATES
Caption: Indonesian troops preparing for mobilization
PEACE spokesman GLaDOS has declared (link) in a statement that the PEACE alliance is preparing to attack USA on June 15th, 2009. The entire announcement has been reproduced below:
" Dear Citizens of the United States of America
I, PEACE spokesman GLaDOS, Hereby announce that the PEACE global community intends to invade your homeland regions on June 15th, 2009. We plan to invade and destroy your Q5 hospitals, then march on to DC, just for the heck of it."
Please discuss this recent newsbreak while we wait for Congress and the Federal Government to release official statements. Let it be known, though the government takes this threat very seriously, the legitimacy of the threat has not been confirmed. Thordan, Minister of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has stated that "GLadDOS is a very public and high ranking PEACE officer, suggest this be taken very seriously".
*UPDATE*
I have just managed to speak to GLadDOS on IRC, and he has confirmed that the PEACE threat was serious. GLadDOS stated "would joke about something like that?", and that he "mean[t] it".
FINAL UPDATE:
For the sake of history, it needs to be written here that GLadDOS' threat did not end up being legitimate. His "joke" announcement can be found at the following link here, which is published below for historical purposes:
"nothing is coming, it was just a joke
thanks for the laughs tho.
in other news
I GLaDOS hereby retire from any and all commisions/appointments within the PEACE global community, effective immediately"
It should be noted that GLaDOS has retired, and is currently living in the UK.

Et maintenant, pour le premier article...
PEACE DÉCLARE LA GUERRE À UN ALLIÉ DU CANADA, LES ÉTATS-UNIS
(Sous-titre : Les troupes Indonésiennes se préparent à la mobilisation)
Le représentant de PEACE, GLaDOS, a déclaré dans une communication (lien) que l'alliance PEACE se prépare à attaquer les États-Unis le 15 juin 2009. L'intégrité de l'annonce suis ci-dessous :
"Chers Citoyens des États-Unis d'Amérique,
Moi, GLaDOS, représentant de PEACE, annonce par la présente que la communauté globale de PEACE a l'intention d'envahir vos régions natales le 15 juin 2009. Nous planifions d'envahir et détruire vos hôpitaux QC, puis marcher sur DC, simplement pour le plaisir."
Vous êtes invités à discuter de cette nouvelle en attente d'une communication officielle du Gouvernement Fédéral ou du Congrès. Si le gouvernement prend cette menace très sérieusement, cependant, la légitimité de cette menace n'a pas encore été confirmée. Thordan, le directeur du Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) a mentionné que "GLaDOS est un officier de PEACE reconnu publiquement de haut rang, [je] suggère que ce soit pris très au sérieux."
Mise à jour:
Je viens tout juste de parler à GLaDOS sur IRC et il m'a confirmé que la menace de PEACE était sérieuse. GLaDOS a dit "est-ce que je blaguerais à propos de quelque chose comme ça ?" et qu'il "le pensait vraiment".

When I saw the title I hoped that U are attacking the USA. Terrence and Philip would certanly attack.
Regarding the article of Glados I see you have no sense of humor.
Zoli, Sorry for the confusion, but there is no preview function available in eRep and I'm putting the finishing touches on the article.
As for my sense of humour, Glados is the PEACE spokesmen and any article that declares war on an ally of eCanada - humorous or not - will be taken seriously until it is proven that the threat was false.
"PEACE Declaration of War"... seems the group has quite the sense of humor. What's the acronym mean?
I was going to try to make a joke acronym, but I couldn't figure a good one out. PEACE stands for People of Earth Associated under Common Excellence
They offer them a peace treaty on day then declare war the next? Goes to show how fickle PEACE can be.
holy shit eh?
@ Ministry of Information
Here's an alternative to the PEACE acronym that's a bit more accurate:
Pricks of Earth Afflicted with Capricious Excerebrose
Some training wars would be a good idea to help us get ready. Also, we should check out any options we have for subsidizing weapons production and/or stockpiling.
It is time to deliver the devestating loss that PEACE so sorely deserves.
Training wars might be good, but they will also cost us valuable money that will be needed if the war comes to Canada.
The only theoretical problem is if the USA does get taken over. That could be problematic.
Hell yeah that could be problematic!!! I say stock up like crazy than we wait, if they never end up attacking, than we will have a bunch of resourses for training wars.
Blah! Scary! Where will they come from? Mexico? Or France?
I bet they aren't really going to do this though.
Untill Glados either makes a retraction or confirms the plans, we must take it seriously. I say stockpile, lets get that Iron reserve up and running!!
oooh I smell some fun fun fun times ahead!
lol stupid PEACE...
Awakening a giant is jumping into fire by their own merit.
why would they broadcast their intentions so blatantly?
they could just be blowing smoke.
it occurs to me that if an invading force really wanted to be successful, it would need the element of surprise, no?
I think the government of Canada should send a public statement to PEACE letting them know that we will retaliate to any treat against our allies and our country.
If only this game had nukes...
Picture and caption idea is kickass. Felt almost like a RL news story!
As for the content...It looks like things will be interesting......
-Azzeriath
i think they are trying to see our reaction; how quickly we can mobalize and the resolve of american allies...
we should really snap into action here.
Well well well...
So it boils down to this eh? I said what I had to say in the forums, but this was predictable and unevitable. If Romania's territories were conquered, then the same fate awaits the US. Look out for Peace to try and shut down the Q5 hospital HERE in Ontario
We are in THAT creek, without a paddle and way, waaaaayyyyyyyyy past the neck deep area. But it's gonna be very, very exciting!
Hey Canada, glad you take your allience with the USA seriously. Don't worry, we'll beat the crap outa PEACE.
with all do respect to brother ayeshun "The only theoretical problem is if the USA does get taken over. That could be problematic." Problematic is an understatement!! STOCK UP ON WEAPONS AND WATCH THE SKYS!
This would be interesting. I wonder if its real
I don't think they would warn us if they were really planning to do that, I think their just trying to see how prepared we would be if they did. Still, let's not take any chances.
Time for some good ol' fashion Destruction.
*Cocks Shotgun*
Begun, the clone war has.

Ok so let's see how it will turn!
If it turns bad, I'm gonna stay in a forest in Quebec waiting for a resistance war lol!
I find this very confusing. now everyone please add me, i have no idea what im doing.
again very problamatic
@ Mehdi: They will just laugh.. We don't have the power to take on any peace country.. Let's just try to not lose too much territories when they do come
It's time to get into Battle Beaver mode!
I just read all the eUSA comments on "PEACE"'s threat. They don't seem to believe them.
The eagle is sharpening its claws and licking its chops.
Bring it on, baby!
PEACE GC, that does not mean " peace" , the name is based on a novel called " Left Behind".. google it and see what the name is all about 🙂
Quick everyone panic!
Seriously, with the fall of Romania and Germany, and the disintagration of Atlantis, it was obviously going to happen, let's just hope they wont use Canada as an entry into the USA. We dont want to be caught in the crossfire.
Ya if only, nukes would cost 1000 Gold and would make an area uninhabitable for the rest of the game....fun! 😛
Go Peace!
Smells like some epic batles to come
Seriously I think we should suspend all war games and mass money to buy weapons in case the threat is legitimate.
Wait, GLaDOS is a dude?
This is going to be a nightmare...
Death to Peace! Ironic?
we must go to war to stop peace!
