The Second Paragraph: Early days of eEstonia

Day 1,882, 03:23 Published in Estonia Estonia by Grand Old Man

As I wrote in my last article, I have been around for a lot longer than many of you might be aware of. To be fair, I have not been active for a while which is the main reason I cannot remember my login credentials. But having a new start seems kind of appropriate.

Many of you might be thinking that eEstonia's history started on April the 8th 2009 when eEstonia was added to eRepublik. While it is strictly true it leaves a whole year of struggles to get on the map untold. Estonians and those wanting eEstonia on the map travelled around The New World spreading word and wishes to have our own country. I am really happy to see S33vald, who was the ringleader back then still in the game and active in the forums as well. You might not know me but I sure know the great things you have done for this eNation.

Declaration of Independence was written and communicated to the admins of eRepublik. In April our dreams came true, eEstonia was on the map of The New World. But the struggles did not stop there. As a young and emerging country we were prone to outside PTO-s (political take over) and sure enough a PTO attempt was made. We had to work together in order to fight the PTO. This is when eEstonias first party, VIE (full name Free Independent Estonia), was founded. It brought together all eEstonians working for one goal and one goal only, a free and independent eEstonia. Thanks to the cooperation and hard work of our leaders and allies it came to reality - an eNation was born.

That's all for today, see you all next time.

Sincerely yours,
Grand Old Man
