Good Afternoon eAustralia.
Over the last 24 hours many of you would have noticed the Russian President's RAGEQUIT.
Less than 3 days into his term, an impeach proposal was put up against him, which is currently (as of typing) failing. In response he has attacked the USA, Finland and China.
This means some massive MPP stacks have been opened up against Russia, and if he's totally bonkers (and the impeachment fails), EDEN Nations could attack Russian soil and the Russian President could virtually retreat all territory.

OK, so isn't that a good thing?
In the short-term, this would be a massive victory for EDEN. Russia is a resource rich nation which helps supply and fund Phoenix - especially Serbia and it helps them hold onto Lion King.
Now Russia has diamonds, which will be the valuable Titanium in Version 2.
If Russia and Lion King fall, Titanium will be solely in the hands of EDEN.
Technically good... but it creates a nasty problem for us...

As we know, Indonesia has been ramping up efforts to PTO Australia.
After they came within 100 votes last time, it could mean one of two things.
1) They fringe Indonesian players are disheartened after losing and won't try again
2) It's renewed their efforts to keep PTO attacking
Now if Russia falls, that's BIG BIG BIG Problems for us.
Phoenix will require a Titanium region and will be look for somewhere they can get it easily and cheaply. The two obvious targets are South Africa and Australia.
To get it from South Africa they will have to attack in battle. The problem is, if they get a region, South Africa via RW and it's MPPs will fight back - making a long and expensive campaign... plus the chance for Australia to fight from the East.
However, with Australia, we are sadly an easier target.
If we are a sneeze away from losing to a PTO. If Russia falls, Phoenix will be doing everything in it's power to get it's people to Australia and to gain citizenship (through Indonesian Senators in Australia and the 're-born' system exploit).
Only a few hundred Phoenix members would be needed... and sadly they do have the numbers.
Sadly we are also the perfect location for Phoenix. If we fall to a PTO, the only nation that can reach us is South Africa. Because we have an MPP with them, that would cancel out a number of nations that can fight directly with South Africa to free us. To the north, any EDEN attack is blocked. They have to go through Indonesia to get us - Mission Impossible.

To help solve the problem, our Foreign Affairs, Education and Public Relations department MUST team up with Immigration and actively promote in friendly countries for people to move to Australia and take up Australian Citizenship.
ALL senators must lean on these departments to get people here now and use up their Citizenship Passes.
We need to boost our population.
We need to find our what baby-booming are doing to bring in new 'by-the-rules' players to stop the influx of MissShe's COWS.

The Election Showdown is coming in three stages. Work done correctly in stage one can help put the breaks on the Indonesian PTO attempts.
The eRepublik Alliance has come up with an interesting idea, in which another party will be contacted soon and if all is agreed we will contact Widds (The Prime Minister) asking for government support, in this idea.
If Stage One works, I'll be asking for Party Presidents to meet me online to discuss a mathematical solution which would help us succeed in Stage Two.
I apologise for this long article, but the Russian news does turn the heat up. It's nice to see the Russians beaten... but we have to be prepared for the side effects.

Wut?
lol article
i love you, keep giving us good ideas
🙂 Just come and beat us lol
you won't loose in battle agains indo, so play the game
But if EDEN invades Russia and holds on to it, wouldn't it be more poorly defended as compared to eSA and eOz, hence a better target for Phoenix?
South Africa is willing to help!!!
@arfman - It's more costly to take back via RW then PTO.
lol article
Russians are crazy by nature. 😁
Are You Afraid????
Let's Bring it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"They have to go through Indonesia to get us - Mission Impossible"
We will burn right on through Indonesia to help our Aussie friends.
TAEEEEEKKKK ASSSSUUUUUUU MIMIN ASSUUUUWWW
The impeachment in Russia passed in the meantime (21 votes in favor), so no need to worry that your theory will actually occur. 😉
something so strong CrowdedHouse
vote
@Boklevski. Incorrect - you need 66% to vote in favour for an impeachment - thus 27 votes are required, 21 only gets you the 50% majority.
lol

dont afraid my friend..
we can ask our allies, Malaysia and Philippine and Singapore to block Indonesia simultaneously, this action could prevent Indonesia to attack us...
Your articles and insights are always thought-provoking. Thanks, CH.
😃
This is a good article, CH 🙂
Good stuff 😃
Give us citizenship.We will defend you... 😁)
AUSTRALIA WILL PREVAIL!
hmm...
lalilulelo
''and the 're-born' system exploit).''
So am I the only one who has picked up on this again? I don't know how many times I have told people this. That exploit was solved months ago, end of.
Sheesh get with the times >_>
Also, your reasoning that if Russia loses we lose is just bizarre. Russia and Phoenix are powerful enough to get Russia back on the map within days, you can't hold on to a superpower and it's very hard to erase one, case in point Hungary. If EDEN goes all out on Russia that's where Phoenix's focus will be, but it doesn't affect us anyway because the Indos have all their available cit passes used up, all they have to do is make their multies and that's not affected by Russia.
I won't renounce at eAussie citizenship...Next elections i'll be there to support anti PTO movement.Australia will prevail!!! \o/
🙂
for teh lulz
Just a suggestion from a friend who came over to assist in the last ATO-- you might want to count up how many loyal Senators you have, and how many citizenships they have to give out several days before the election. If all citizenships are given out before the election, it's a waste to have friendlies fly over for no reason.
And, Australian Senators: not that I should be giving you job tips, but please take advantage of your rights to grant citizenship unless you want to lose your Country.
voted! I love this article! Fail indos!!
I'm leaning on 'em as best as little ol' me can.
