Military Maneuvers
United Kingdom Fails Again; Australia gets frisky

-As I'm sure you've heard by now, the eRepublik Administrators reversed the British advances into PTO-ed Norway after discovering that the election of Norway's President (which is what led to this mess) several days ago was achieved by illegal means. To add insult to injury, the UK President, Gladdos, had just placed a Q5 hospital in Norway and had moved there himself. It seems that the UK wanted to try to make a fortress in Norway's high oil. How cute. Because of the reversal, he lost his Presidency (albeit temporarily) and lost the Q5 hospital to boot. As much as Gladdos may complain about this, it has always been that eRepublik punishes anyone that profits from cheaters as well as the cheaters themselves. So huzzah to the Admins! And perhaps Gladdos et al. need some coccyx cushions. The UK attacked again, but Norway has Spain on its side and the UK has.... no one.

-Australia started a resistance war in the Argentinian-held, natively South African, Eastern Cape and then attacked the region as well. With 1.5 hours to go, the Australians lead by 60k. It'll be a close finish. The RW was most likely started to prevent Argentina from retreating, but it's close, too.

-South Africa attacked Argentina at the natively South African region of Western Cape. They lead by 16k with 1.5 hours to go.

-Indonesia attacked Australia's home region of Northern Territory. Thanks to Australia's MPPs, this battle will likely be secured. It is 600k to the good guys with 10 hours to go. On a related note, Australia has sued for peace with Indonesia.

-Australia also attacked Brazilian-held, natively South African KwaZulu Natal, which the Brazilians eventually retreated. Because of the Indonesian attack, however, Australia is initiative blocked.

-Finland continues on the road back to being a whole country, attacking Russian-held Oulu.
