Update from eItaly - 24 Aug 2011

Day 1,373, 13:00 • Published in Italy Italy • by Irov

Greetings, friends in Eastern Europe! I hope all is well as I bring this update from eItaly.

At present, Italy continues to be involved in intensive efforts to recover its original territories while fending off foreign threats. The main enemy continues to be Slovenia, which still holds six territories in northern Italy; however, a combination of resistance wars and conventional battles have been increasingly successful in recapturing regions from the Slovenes. Crucial in these efforts has been the assistance of our allies, especially France and Croatia, who have provided a great deal of assistance inside battles and have also participated in a swap program to hold Italian regions until our nation becomes more stable. As part of this program, France also continues to hold several regions in Italy to ensure they can survive the latest aggression from France and Poland.

Also at this time, final preparations are being made for the congressional elections which will take place tomorrow. Because Italy currently holds only three regions, the next Italian congress will be small as expected by our government.

Finally, we continue to monitor the situation of our allies and friends across Europe with great interest. We are always hoping to learn more about the situations in your nations and wish to increase communication wherever possible. Should any news of interest arise, please feel free always to PM me using the link at the bottom of this article; also, we encourage you to join our official government chats on Mibbit. Our MoD, Fanaxidiel, may be contacted in #erepublik-it, and our MoFA, prefetto, may be found in #esteri.

As always, best wishes from your friends in eItaly! If I may be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason whatsoever.

With warmest wishes,

Irov
Ambassador of eItaly
