Overview
Tohru
Well, I figured I'd make a short article about recent events.
First off, Akki has been re-elected. Many of you may have been confused as to why he has not made a statement. As it turns out Akki had a medical emergency and was rushed to the ER. His ear needed to be drained of fluid; apparently an infection of some sort, but I cannot say. He should make a statement soon, and I wish him quick recovery.
Second, Origineel's organization has been hacked, as you have already known. Admins have still not fixed it yet. If admins see this article, it would be appreciated if you would hurry it along before its too late to fix.
Third, GLaDOS has left to study as you might have known. Of course, I didn't realize that meant he was leaving to Pakistan to study in the Falcon University of Creative Knowledge. Yes, sorry GLaDOS, I couldn't help but make that joke. (^.^)
In other news, there should be some pretty exciting party elections for UBN and TFC. I wish all candidates luck in their campaigns.
Also Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Serbia will be added on February 11th. Taiwan will be added at a later date.
I may have missed some events but other newspapers have covered those details already.
I wish all of you reading this safety and good fortune.
Sayonara! Atode, ne?

Akki's own statement can be found here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/akki-what-are-the-plans--732064/1/20. It's the third comment.
Instead of adding new small countries who are never gonna get a great population, admins should concentrate on cases like Origineel's. RL Asian people in Asian countries don't find eRep very attractive, because they need to learn English in a very social game. Look at China and Japan. Giant RL populations, but pretty small (and in the case of China, non-existent) countries. Singapore, Malay, Philippines and Taiwan aren't gonna be much different. Admins should give their attentions to improving the quality of the quality of the gameplay, not the amount of the countries. Save Origineel's companies, admins.
It's true that these Asian countries will constantly suffer from low populations, but they still may be a great contribution to the fun of the game. It depends if people just try to take them over or join them and support them. These days there are a lot of people dropping out of the larger countries and looking for smaller communities.
Haha, great contribution to the fun of the game. It seems like we're like a big trophy. Whoever takes over an Asian country gets the trophy!
But still, I agree with what you're saying. We're still marginally important. We do indeed attract big people over.
"RL Asian people in Asian countries don't find eRep very attractive"
I guess Indonesia citizen is an anomaly huh?
/me looking at Indonesia total citizen.
