Update: raszta is now the new President of eHungary. In principle, he disagreed in attacking a former ally / eAustria, but in general - he supports new land acquisition. Hmmm.
60 minutes ago, eAustria held off eHungarians invasion on Burgenland (sound like Burger Land). In all honesty, how could eAustria, with its two MPPs (eFrance and eMalaysia) and 537 citizens win the battle? Well, it boiled down to eHungary did not want to win, i think. Naturally, EDEN, Brolliance and the remnants PEACE forces must have moved into eAustria/eFrance to repel the Magyarians troops/tanks.
However, more significantly, i believe, is that there are a lot of dissent from the eHungarians side with regards to the attack on Burgenland and the direction of the eHungary, taken by the President of eHungary - Termetes Samu from Szolidaritas Party. There have been talk of presidential impeachment by the Congress, which is controlled by the Magyar Hazafiak Party, as well as debate on the media by significant eHungarians commentators (e.g. Zoli here). This all have led to the resignation of Termetes as the President of eHungary several hours ago. What a colourful national politics! (in a sad contrary, i have not heard much from our own Setsuna
It's interesting to note that eHungary probably did not think much of Burgenland to begin with. It has no resources (only medium wood), nor eHungary needs the land. The president tried to justify the attack on Burgenland, but considering his resignation 8 hours later - obviously he failed to convince his critics. The argument against eAustria war is valid. eAustria is a PEACE member nation. If the purpose of attacking is for training-war for eHungarian, it seems to be a very poor choice - considering the political and publicity setbacks. From what i get from the Europe intel - it is likely that eHungary will be attacked from eRomania/ePoland while several other fronts - eLithuania, eRussia, eGermany - will be opened as well by EDEN/Brolliance. With such threats hanging on the nation - why does Termetes pressed the button on eAustria remains a mystery to me...
A side news - seem like eIreland and eUSA have brokered a deal for a wargame, to be hosted in eUSA. This would give eUSA a large number of MPPs in near future, and might take away some shine from the excellently-organised Sol war games. This might have some significant impact on global dominance, as eUSA would be almost impossible to be invaded. It's different when it's neutral eMalaysia having 26-27 MPPs. eMalaysia won't attack back in most cases. But, eUSA with 20+ MPPs, being attacked, would certainly trigger a world war. Interestingly as well, Gauis Julius, ex eUSA CP is back as their Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (head of military generals), replacing the super-efficient Eugene Harlot, who was instrumental in eUSA’s rise in the past months.

I digressed.
Back to the issue of national unity and eHungary politics. From my brief observation - it seems like, while the eRep game provides an excellent national politics module, the very concept of democracy actually might fail to yield the best outcome for the nation if the nation could not unite its people. Yes, while a president can be punished via impeachment and next election, by then, the damage has already been done. The rights to disagree and participate in free elections/media too seem to give rise to external propaganda. It seems like, at the end of the day, the bottom-line is - for a nation to succeed in eRep - their leaders must be able to muster and rally its people to a united cause. Once you have influential national leaders disagreeing with your cause/objective - that's the end of it. we have seen similar fracture in eIndo prior to Wonder Forward's inclusive presidency and we have seen the opposite in eUSA in current months.
Lastly, my apologies for the poor English in this article. I didn't have the time/mood to proof read it.
Several newbies in eMalaysia asked me recently – "Why do you go about reading political news in other nations and so forth, having all the effort of translating foreign languages and what not?" Well, I believe the direction of the global politics influence the wellbeing of smaller nations like us. Furthermore, I believe the game is interesting - only because of its people and the socio-interaction between different cultures, nationalities and people. If we limit ourselves to the issues and happening only in our homeland (eMalaysia), then, this game will become boring very very quickly. So, if you are a newbie, start reading international news and participate in national politics today!

🙂ANd my apologies if i misread some of the Hungarians articles - i tend to read English better.

"not hungry for burger land" - a clever political title? 😛
"If we limit ourselves to the issues and happening only in our homeland (eMalaysia), then, this game will become boring very very quickly."
It's true, newbies in eSK literally die off from boredom.
Encourage them to start participating in national and world politics. 🙂 World news like this article won't harm. I don't mind if you link my article and copy the material for eSK reading.
Huhh...its long...very long. Some additional info about the current Hun situation: part 1.
I. - IRL basics
The region called Burgenland (in austro/german) or Őrvidék (in hungarian) was part of IRL Hungary for about 920 years since the first hungarian king (1000) to 4th june, 1920. - the acceptation of the peace treaty of Trianon. Obviously for most hungarians this region is an original one which belongs rightfully to them.
II - Erep basics
Burgenland was occupied by eHungary during the eAnschluss when eGermany and eAustria try to unite. They were intereting times with blasphemous betrayals in almost every side. Shortly eHungary gave an oath to start an RW there , and they start it, anyway...just hitting the green button.
III - back and forth
eHungary agreed to give Burgenland back to eAsutria some month ago. At the first time the congres seemed to accept this, but on the second voting they refuse the plan in a very slightly manner: 9 vote for no and 8 vote for yes. (Where were the other congressmen is unknown to me) But an irregular unit started the RW, and it become a civil war: hungarians firecelly fight in all sides, tanking enormous summs to the battle. And the red side wins with good-sized foreign support.
well written stuff. Accurate. Concise. Good one! 🙂

"in a sad contrary, i have not heard much from our own SetsunaX"
Maybe a case of you yourself not participating fully in the discussions on the irc where I can assure you, SetsunaX has been in the forefront of the intricate and very private discussions regarding the complex and changing situation eMalaysia is facing? I am sure Nagyzee can vouch for him.
Its sad that even in a discussion on something totally unrelated, you still choose to play the politics and partisanship game. We are facing an enemy, in more than one conventional threat, and there is no time for 'colourful politics'. Especially in the light of the dire situation and numerous threats eMalaysia is now facing, where we are talking about a common platform for all the parties, it is people like you that prevent national unity. Shame. I guess old habits die hard.
But in terms of the greater issue here, I suspect the invasion of Burgenland had a lot to do with real life sentiments, where the area was once rl Hungary's. As a result, many Hungarians fought and tanked GREEN when Hungary decided to release the region to Austria a few months ago. This caused a huge backlash, with several prominent Hungarians starting a 'Liberation World Tour', with talks of liberating even WSR against Indo wishes.
@Omnicorp - thanks for filling in. I was told somewhere that it is based on RL nationalistic issue, but mostly, eHungarians are divided on it, i believe. So, the content of the article stays correct.
@Maverick - thanks.
@Vikta - Firstly, SetsunaX is quiet - from where i stand from - as a Congressman and a citizen of this nation. As always, if all decisions/discussion are limited to few selected individuals - that just mockery of the rest of the populace and Congress. Secondly, i did not play politics, it is an honest remark when comparing our 'great' president to what i have observed else where. Thirdly, if national unity means no dissenting voice - you are no different than our RL najib razak. Lastly, this article is not even about setsunaX or our boring local politics. If you want me to be partisan, i can be (in my next article). Shame indeed.
A president or a gov communicate with their ppls via media in erep. If they less talk, your citizen will lost their direction, their goal and their mood. Talk and communicate more with your citizen, not by "privately" irc only. Beside, not all ppl can join irc, right?
But hell, its your country anyway... 😛
@n3mo - thanks for your comment. Indeed, my next article, i should put my attention to that very idea of government communication, or lack of.
I don't approve at all of national politics taking place on IRC. It's akin to back-alley deals being made in smoke-filled private IRC chatrooms. What's the point of even having a national forum if all the important political discussions are not going to take place there? I think politics should take place on the forums where the general public can view the discussions and there is an irrefutable record of the proceedings. No more politicing in smoke-filled IRC chatrooms! No more presidents who won't slum with the general populace!
Just in case you didn't know , PEACE Keepers (Yes , it's still alive 😃) was ordered to fight against Hungary in Burgenland . 😃
You are the mockery of Congress if you do not participate in the disccusions that are held between members of Congress everyday in the IRC. Don't blame others for your inadequacies. SetsunaX has delegated the many tasks he has to members of his cabinet (which you are not a part of) and has informed members of Congress (that you have not bothered to participate in).
As for those who oppose IRC as a form of communication, he has asked on numerous occasions for congressional material (MPPs, threat discussions) to be posted on the congress forums for debate, and cabinet matters to be posted in the cabinet section. But then again you conveniently forget those right?
National unity does not mean no dissenting. But dissent for the sake of dissent, like what you have done, is counter productive to national unity. Again, I will repeat what I said long time ago: your criticism is counter productive and damaging. It offers no solution or suggestions. Merely criticism for criticism's sake.
Video Jack: Far from being smoky and underhanded, the separate IRC channels (for Congress, the Public, Malaysians only, and the Cabinet) have served us well, where a general perception of the different branches can be found and carried over to the forums.
the eUSA had shown their colors.
Prepare to lose your MPPs SOL 🙂
@wonder forward - what's eUSA's colors? I am obviously not reading the news. care to PM or share?
Voted!
Burgerland??.. you must hungry at the moment 😛
your advice to the newbies is true!
Very nice article, as usual 🙂
@ink: yea, someone suggested "Hungry for Burger Land" - which is much more apt title. Heheheh.
@yasupa/sean - thanks!
Great words
I vote😁
