If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.
-George Orwell
Orwell’s quote about the future, in the most famous piece of dystopian literature ever written succinctly shows the future of France in eRepublik. Currently France has been occupied by Hungary, after their ‘liberation’ of the Rhone Alps region from the Spanish forces whom captured it after Poland lost it to a determined Slovenia the day before.
But first, a similar situation. As you are no doubt aware, the USA currently holds, and pays rent for, the high iron region of Karnataka. We currently pay 1,300gold a month for the region; most recent estimates believe this is about a break even deal for America. We don’t gain, nor do we lose. A little over a month ago, India wanted the region back, there was even a definite date set for return at one point. Despite this, the USA negotiated long and hard, and eventually came to a deal that suited both sides. An increase of 400gold a month was a small price compared to not screwing over our allies and friends in India. Some of us actually care for other countries. Apparently this is not so for your ‘liberators’ in Hungary.
Damm that is a nice view. Shame about all the Hungarians.
Currently Hungary are auctioning off your most valuable original region. Why are they doing this? They want their money back for the successful attack against the region. Wow. These guys are such good allies, they want people to pay for them to turn up, how very nice of them. The original deal, renegotiated for a few reasons after the successful battle in RA, was decided to be far too expensive by Hungary, who then offered below 50% of the original rent.
Negotiations between your two countries went on for days, combined with large amounts of media back and forth between citizens and officials of both countries. France, asking for what was actually a fair rent, have been told where to stick it. The moral of this story is you have to do as Hungary says. During my time in PEACE last year, I saw Hungary attempt a similar thing; France stood up for itself, as it has done again. Bravo. You’ve made the right decision, the coming weeks and months may be hard for you, but being subservient to another nation isn’t how this game should be played.
Currently there is a boot stamping on your collective face, France. You are being taken for a ride by your strongest allies, and you’re left all alone. Even Italy has moved against you, and partaken in an EDEN operation to the south. The writing is on the wall for you; you are left without your most valuable region, before the eve of the biggest changes to eRepublik in over 18 months, and all your friends are forsaking you.
Why not find some new friends? Perhaps a country who cares about respecting the wishes of the country who they hold regions of. I imagine such a nice country would welcome to hear from you; let bygones be bygones.
Oh, and one final thing; France, some advice from a sympathetic source here; don’t ever listen to Dish and think he isn’t lying through his teeth. It’s what he does.
No matter what path you choose, I personally wish you the best of luck, France.

Vive libre ou pas.
Lol, blatant propaganda. EDEN occupies France for months and months. Phoenix risks its high iron to help free Aquitaine and kick the Spanish out of RA and suddenly we're the bad guys. Get lost EDEN trolls.
Good luck, France.
If you want to talk, we'd be glad to hear from you.
What you did there with the title. I see it.
find a solution, that's all.
I think a lot of persons are bored with this story.
Best regards
Also, please learn when to use who and whom >.<
And Hungary screws France again... Shocker.
Voted.
Iain has it about right, really. Where were you when RA was occupied to begin with? <3
France is pretty cool.
Also, your trolling articles consistently decrease in quality, particularly when you try to write something intellectual 😐
1984 FAIL
>> Also, your trolling articles consistently decrease in quality, particularly when you try to write something intellectual 😐
I haven't trolled in game for many months now.
Iain & Dish; firstly the pair of you agreeing must the apocalypse, although considering the pig disgusting nature of the eUK's new religion, maybe aporkalypse is more apt.
Remove the USA part and you have a fairly good article.
As good as ever necrosis ,
We're both Dioists.
Your logic is invalid.
You're a little late, they http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-emagyar-kormany-rhone-alps-sorsa1-1429625/1/20">already signed the https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1Q3Y8LgReXXtd5TXAyzOZEb8HyXYanuGWUG8QqSqB7tU#">contract.
France turns out to be just as spineless as Hungary thought.
But great article nevertheless.
USA new friends ? Oh my Dio
Not thank you, we know your friendship...
Who erase France of the map ?
Hail France
Hail Brasil
Hungary <3's France so much, like usual 😃
>>Who erase France of the map ?
The USA. I'd like to say something along the lines of nothing personal, it was only business, but I feel that wouldn't be enough. It allowed us to help our then allies in Spain, and for the later (ultimately unsuccessful) campaign against the UK to go ahead without us being blocked. On a completely personal level, I always considered that to be an unfortunate act - but then we could look at things like France attacking US regions during the NA invasion, and neither side has a clean history. Kiss and make up?
@ JeepAmerica
Yeah... at least a bit better than eUSA who had us erased after making peace.
Talk about backstabbers...
@ Necrosis
I admire eUSA's endless attempts to have eFrance make peace and maybe ally with eUSA. Maybe eUSA are opening their eyes and finally seeing that having 2 million damage is better on your side than on the other.
But we have attempted this before. We made peace with eUSA and according to info I've had even started to work for you. That was until you didn't stand up for us when we got attacked by eSpain.
So... we make peace again tomorrow. What will happen when eSpain attacks us again? Will you "sit" and "stay down" when eSpain orders you? Or will you help us?
Might I add something else.
If you want to show us your good will... start by helping out eMexico, with public statements. They need much more help than we do.
Mexico, for me, is an interesting situation - lest we forget when they violated the spirit of an NAP with the US during the war and let colombia through?
Last time you spoke friendly like this, you backstabbed us a few weeks later...
This is the alarm! Invaders are coming back guys! 😁
>>This is the alarm! Invaders are coming back guys! 😁
Pfft, we're invading Canada next. Gotta keep you guys guessing :3
Still waiting for a few simple answers 🙂
Apologies - been busy all day, watching the england match, then tennis sorta meant I needed to get stuff done late instead 😛
I can't see Spain attacking France again - the situation last time was... complicated. France had alienated her allies, spain had been stocking gold for revenge for a while, and poland was slowly moving west too. A campaign against france wouldn't be in spain's best interests; with the USA's slight (and only slight) measure of independance from EDEN, I'd hope we'd abstain from fighting at the very least. Personally I feel that if another Spain V France conflict were to happen, the circumstances surrounding it would be more important.
lulz
Thanks😁
The solution is to join EDEN...
>Iain has it about right, really. Where were you when RA was occupied to begin with? <3
Maybe if France's leaders had simply paid some reperations to Canada and Spain after completely destroying them, Eden would not have had any hard feelings towards them. We had many negotiations to make peace between France and Eden, and unfortunately, we jumped the gun and proposed peace before France promised to make peace with our allies. That was our mistake. When our allies demanded revenge from their conquerers, what do you expect us to do?
That was then, this is now. All the cards are on the table, France must choose. Their old ally who is known for repressing their allies, or Eden and the USA, who know the value of friendship? Choose and option.
lets RW Rhone Alps
For France!!
RW is up
go get it france!
Nah we prefer defending Scotland.
>> Nah we prefer defending Scotland.
All you're doing is preventing a good ally from renting US regions AT A REASONABLE RATE. Gee, if only you had friends that did that <3
D'façon on va tous eMourir
