Update on USA's Ongoing Position in Asia

Day 786, 14:00 • Published in USA USA • by Astra Kat G


You may've noticed we retreated four out of five US-held Chinese regions to China yesterday, with only Sichuan remaining in eAmerican hands.

This was done as part of our ongoing effort to return regions that don't belong to us to their home nations. Some of you may ask why we're not returning regions to India right now, too.

Simply put, India doesn't want their regions back right now. Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff Gaius Julius explained to me that the United States has offered to return every Indian region many, many times, but they just don't want them back.

The reason for this is that India suffers from ongoing foreign PTO problems that would only be exacerbated by having more regions to fill and win with non-PTO candidates. That's understandable, as many a country can relate to such a dilemma, but the simple fact of the matter is that USA doesn't need Jharkhand's High Wood, so it's currently going to waste.

So what do to with Jharkhand, then? As confirmed separately by both President Jewitt and Chairman Gaius Julius, USA is considering giving Jharkhand to China until India wants it back, so that China's people could benefit from having High Wood. President Jewitt further explained that the battle cost to give Jharkhand to China would be split 50-50 between USA and China.

As China doesn't possess High Wood in any of its current 27 regions, this could be a great boon to their economy. That's providing, of course, they can wrest land workers from the iron mines of Liaoning. In any case, it would be of benefit to USA's own Wood industry to remove Jharkhand competitors from USA's job market.

Another concern people may have is the current state of relations between India and China. From what I've seen, India and China are on good terms at the moment. I was recently in China and there I observed the beginning of war games between India and China; thankfully for me, the official Chinese orders explained in English that it was just a training war. Further coverage of this can be found in an article from the Indian President here and in Chinese official orders here.

From all early indications, these war games are the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Indian representative maverick10 Dodge Knight confirmed that relations between India and China have never been better (see his full comment below, in the Comments section of this article).

It's my assessment, therefore, that India won't mind China holding onto its High Wood region any more than they've minded USA holding onto it. India doesn't seem to mind China holding onto Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, either, and the former is currently being used for the Chinese-Indian war games.

All in all, despite what the naysayers may say, it's my opinion that things are going rather well in Asia. They aren't ideal, of course, but for now, things are a heck of a lot better than they were before USA entered Asia... at least, in India and China.

*UPDATE* In reaction to this article, an English article was published in China, in which some Chinese citizens gave their thoughts on the matter. President Jewitt weighed in on the Comments section, saying that the offer was only made because we thought China might want it; if it does not, USA will just hold onto it until India wants it. Read the full article+comments here.

Well, that's all for now, thanks for reading!



Commercial Break: Miffed at news of PTOs in India and elsewhere?? Want to make the world a little freer?? Then stop wondering if "freer" is a real word or not and make a commitment to help small countries fight foreign PTOs with the Strategic Air Command! Read more information on how to make the most of your vote here.





To my regular readers, I apologize for the break from my usual format, but I'm writing this so that the information gets out there. I've spoken to people in office and they're so very, very busy that they couldn't take the time out to write an article about this, despite wanting to, so I figured I'd put my out-of-office/being-a-bum ex-Congresswoman time to good use.



P.S. I'm an official eUSA competitor in the eOlympics right now. Despite what the site will tell you, it is FREE to join (no gold taken from your account) and we could really use more eMerican participants! For more information, check out this article.
