Quick Look at Western Europe- Day 1,305

Day 1,305, 20:59 Published in Switzerland Switzerland by sgtchewy

I don't have much time to write this so I'm going to skip Eastern Europe for this edition.

Western Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, and Austria)

Austria hit four RW in two day three of them in the same section, Burgenland, and they all failed even though Hungary was busy taking out France.

Everyone celebrate! Belgium has got themselves a war! The UK has attacked Flanders, Belgium after Belgium assaulted the Southeast England because of earlier interactions between the two (see the Wiki). This attack on Belgium was not a full blow due to the ongoing Anglo-Irish War.

France is in a spot of trouble to say the least. They literally only have two territories left not under ONE control. These are Paris, and Pays de la Loire, the latter will probably be taken shortly after you read this. I doubt that France will become the next Italy, always fighting to keep their heads above water but, they will not regain all of the sections they lost.

Germany, as always started several new RW just for the sake of annoying Poland. It occurred to me that Poland will eventually collapse upon itself. A couple of conquered states will put together a strong series resistance wars made just for the purpose of taking it out from the inside, France, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Germany. The empire will not be able to hold them all off, and it will lose a couple territories and maybe even fold completely. This may never happen though because it takes a lot of struggle to get a coordinated attack to come along even tougher to get a couple of countries to work together for this sort of thing.

For once Ireland might be able to hold off the British in a battle. Earlier the Irish had no trouble stopping them but they seem to have hit their stride and the Irish are unable to put a halt them. However things have changed. Now the United Kingdom has another war on their hands, and even more helpful, EDEN has put the battle over Cork as the highest priority battle. Still Ireland might not keep it but, now they have a fighting chance. If they don’t hold it, Ireland gets one more chance to hold before they get wiped. Mayo would be the only remaining uncontrolled territory and if EDEN can’t help, no can.

Italy has done nothing remarkable except start their usual patter of RW against Slovenia and FYROM. The negotiations obviously failed or they are started by some idiot who thought it would be fun to start a RW.
The Netherlands continues to be an uninteresting blob fighting only in small a RW which normally fail.

The Spain-USA war is in full tilt, with Spain driving even further into the US’s territory. Colorado was taken back by the USA in a well fought resistance war over the area. South Carolina was the next target in Spain’s sight and it fell just like all the others. Now I’ve wrote about how Poland and Hungary are going on a Trans-Atlantic flight to attack the US but the theory seems to be falling apart. They have had the ability to cross for some time but have not taken it. Are they just trying to quell all the uprisings in France and the other outlying countries, or are they waiting for some cue from Spain? They may just have been using it as a reason to take France. Whatever the reason is, France is in some serious shit.

As most of my reader’s well know, Switzerland failed in its two resistance wars. This for the most part is due to the fact that we are currently like the Czech Republic, weak because we have been under so long. I’m currently 116th in the country and my total battle influence is somewhere around 2000 and that is horrible and I know it. My real life brother, whose eRepublik name I will not reveal, is 127th in his country and gets about 4000 in one hit, and he doesn’t live in Poland or FYROM no he lives in an about average country citizen and experience wise. We need to either recruit some serious power hitters or we need to get an area released for free. Them’s the options because I seriously don’t see us coming out the other side without this happening.

I know this was a tough thing to and I’m going to get a lot of negative feedback about this but that is the way I see things. Please if anybody has another opinions message me or comment. I don’t care if it is negative( that’s a lie but, I need to hear it) or positive but any suggestion will help.

Before I go I must ask a question of the Newspaper writers who read this.
I've been trying to find a way to put a picture on my computer into the article but to no avail. The picture apparently has to already be on the internet in order to be used. Is there a way around this? Please let me know if there is.
