Norway has been trying to make a deal with Sweden, giving away 3 provinces in return for peace and 1 of Sweden's core provinces. Sweden's president say no and continues its military campaign against its western foe. Total victory is Sweden's goal.
Norway wants Älgkött and peace
I spoke with the newly elected president of Norway, Tommy Skaue. Tommy says that despite weeks of threats and war with Sweden, he is willing to make a deal with his foe to bring peace to the region.
Tommy says that he is willing to trade three of the Norwegian provinces to Sweden in return for peace - and the Swedish province Jamtland that holds Älgkött. A resource that Norway needs.
In return, Sweden will get Trondelag (Oil), Nord-norge (Fish) and Svalbard (Fish). Tommy says its a win-win deal. Sweden gets Oil och Fish while Norway gets peace and Swedish Älgkött.
"They are welcome to come and take Jamtland"
I asked the Swedish president Jim Parsons for a comment. Jim was pretty straight forward regarding Norway's interest in growing its food industry by taking land from Sweden: "They are welcome to come and take Jamtland" - with a twist - "but they will have to, just as Sweden, fight to grow. I wont give up Jamtland voluntarily" said the Swedish president.
Jim Parsons says that Norway (with its evil allies (ed. remark)) is a formidable foe. Its been tough for Sweden in Trondelag, the main short goal for Sweden. Trondelag has oil, a must have recourse for Sweden's industry. And it will be just as tough for Norway if they decide to attack Sweden's core province to gain Älgkött, says Jim.
Sweden believes in its country goals, Norway does not?
In short there will be no deal with Norway. Sweden seems to be confident to living up its set goals for this months presidency: annexing the whole country in the west. Norway on the other hand shows desperation by selling out half its country to bring peace, even though their country goal for this month is set to hold all their provinces.
On paper, this means that Sweden has won a huge mental victory over Norway just days into the new Norwegian and Swedish presidency. It means that Norway recognizes the strength of Sweden's political and military skill and its allies and does not see much of a future when waring with its eastern foe. Its ready to chop of its arms to save its head. Jim Parson with his cabinet and its huge and strong army must be smiling.

Go Nor..wait..no!

Är vi inte trötta på att kriga mot norge hela tiden? Jag vet inte vad vi förlorar på att låta norge få älgkött men dealen lät bra tycker jag. Får då får vi vad vi behöver plus att vi kan attackera andra länder
Tycker norrmännen bara borde migra till eSverige istället då de ändå kommer förlora alla sina provinser till Sverige och då hade Sverige kunnat bli starka nog att skapa kaos i Europa och de hade ju fått bättre produktion bonus.
🙂
Bra artikel! Längesen man läste något som faktiskt var välskrivet. Det krävs en gammal spelare för att vända trenden : )
Vad jag kommer ihåg så var det inte så längesen som Norge tackade nej till en fred som Sverige föreslog, något liknande denna. Så nu får de gott stå sitt kast. Nu kör vi över de!
Om vi nu skulle gå med på den här dealen med Norge..
Vad förlorar vi? INGET (i produktion)
Vad vinner Norge? INGET (De förlorar bara lite mindre prod)
Det enda "problemet" för oss blir att vi få hitta någon annan (Danmark/Finland, kanske) att ha som konstant NE och köra kontinuerliga träningskrig med, för vår träningsbonus.
Norge = EDEN
Sverige = ONE
EDEN + ONE = Fiender
Men förövrigt jäkligt bra artikel 🙂
@wheel1 Norge vinner i matprod då de får älgkött (som artikeln så fint kallade det 😁
Nej de ska inte ha vår core region! Efter att ha suttit i HKV (några månader sedan men ändå) så vet jag hur Norge har bettet sig mot oss så varför ska vi hjälpa dem? De kommer ändå bara starta RW's i våra regioner. Lika bra att ha många av dem då 😃
Längesen man läste en sådan artikel! Bra skrivet! : )
Äntligen händer det i media igen! V+S
Superbra artikel, jag vill ha mer!

Bara en idiot skulle ge upp älgkött, alldeles för gott!
Oi, oi, oi.... Her var det mange kommentarer av folk som IKKE har lest skikkelig artikkelen.
Les en gang til!
Norge mister fisk til Sverige, men vi mister IKKE olje. Det har vi i Vestlandet.
Sverige mister IKKE älgkött (Deer), for det har de allerede i en annen region. Man får altså IKKE dobbel bonus av samme type ressurs.
Ergo, det er ikke urimelig å be om älgkött (Deer) som kompensasjon for tap av Fisk. Dere får 2 typer ressurser, vi får 1 tilbake.
*sigh*
Men samtidigt Tommy, så är ni fortfarande med i EDEN. Att vi skulle göra deals med er är helt otänkbart från alla olika perspektiv. Lämna EDEN så blir det betydligt enklare att göra deals, och de har ju under lång tid visat att ni inte är något värda...
Could be an oldtimer being jaded, but warfare doesn't mean as much as it used to. The mechanics make it inevitable and have stripped it of strategy, and most players have seen nearly every battle/campaign 3+ times by now.
To those ends, suing for peace doesn't really make sense unless both sides are just tired of a ping-pong war. Otherwise, it just makes sense to continue it until a country is steamrolled.
Very well written article. V+S
Jag kan inte se den sk. "win-win"-situationen. Just nu så har vi oljebonusen och vi har en aktiv och långvarig NE-bonus. Skulle vi sluta fred så skulle det betyda att vi kommer bli tvungna att skriva på ett fredskontrakt. Visst, vi skulle kunna NE:a Danmark och radera dom och hjälpa de med deras PTO men det skulle isf. bara vara ett krig och några par extra health (i och med NE-bonusen) men sen då?
Nej, Norgekriget är kanske inte det mest spännande men det bidrar till extra strength och till att skapa en riktig fiende vilket vi har saknat efter att Tyskland och när vi hade gemensamma intressen som stod mot varandra.
Nicely written

Bra artikel, v+s!
Nej till en imperialistisk krigföring mot Norge. Ja till alla länders suveränitet.
@Johannes: Nobody said anything about ending our NE War. It benefits us both by training. Read the 4th paragraph here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/our-war-with-sweden-explained-1900259/1/20
@westerberg: It is a well known fact that you strive to get Norway out of EDEN, even to the extent that you would like to "force us out". Good thing mIRC logs everything. I would argue us remaining in EDEN is the better choice, and truth be told; most Norwegians would prefer to be wiped than leave EDEN as a result of Swedish hostility. Again, us being in different alliances equals "free" training, so stop telling us to leave EDEN. They fight for us, more than ONE would ever do. 😁
I forgot to add; very good article, Toothpaste - keep it up, bro!
country goals are b-shit
Finally! 😃 Sweden speaks clearly. No more dancing around pretending you kinda sorta maybe want to make a deal.
In Sweden a mental victory. In Norway we are wondering why it took so long for you to say no to this deal...
Sure we would stretch us far to get peace and/or a training war, but the sad part about this conflict is not that we are the underdog, but that Norway and Sweden are so good friends in RL.
All in all a finely written article.
This is so goo😛) We are so tired of Sweden making peacedeals and then by accident NE Norway a few days later. You can try to deny it, but you have had big problems in Norway the last month. We kicked you out, you lost Trøndelag. We even attacked a few of your core regions.
This destroy the eNorwegian community campaing has been one complete fail from the Swedish side. Look at Norway before you started it, and compare it to eNorway today. We was broke, we had no community, we had no congress, we was week. Now have more than enough cash, we have 17 Strong MPPs, we have got a nice community and we are getting stronger. We are getting friends, and you are getting enemies you don't even know you have yet. Maybe this campaign of yours is the beginning of your end?
And even as you carry on this act of evil, we still try. We are putting out our hand in a friendly guest time after time, but you continue to cut it of.
GL & HF Sweden, you are not nearly as strong as you think.

Lying propaganda...
Take a look at our 20 last battles, from were is the dmg coming, who is helping us time after time? And were is ONE? Poland defending regions they don't need, Serbia fighting for Norway, FYROM fighting greece, Spain having problems of them selfs, and Hungary fighting Romania.
@fredrikz
Then I guess you wont mind Sweden invading Norway seeing as how it has made Norway flourish. War with Norway is, as I can see it, not negative for Sweden in any way. Win-Win eh? 😃
crabs
Invade us all you wan't. Just do it for the right reasons. Do it for our resources not for our community, for you will never have us. The worst of it is that we was thinking about joining you before you started this stupid campaign😛
Well, let us not rush to conclusions just yet. Maybe Parsons goals are for show, for fun or for plan lulz. After all, the LULZ are the reason anyone does things:
