Hopes that the fall of ATLANTIS and the European dominance of PEACE would calm Europe's desire for war have proven too optimistic. In a series of brash moves, eSweden defied an agreement with the eU.S. to draw down its war in Germany by invading and conquering the remnants of the shattered German state. In coordinated moves, Poland and Finland expanded their offensives in Eastern Europe.

The recent collapse of Sweden's agreement with the United States reduces one of President Scrabman's major second-term achievements to tatters. After narrowly winning re-election on June 5th, the unprecedented third Scrabman Administration finds itself once again dealing with a European quagmire. Keen to avoid stoking the political fires surrounding Sweden and Germany, Scrabman has remained mostly silent on the issue.

With the President of Germany formally impeached yesterday, the focus of war has shifted to Eastern Europe, where Latvia is now ground zero in a growing international conflict. China and the United Kingdom recently signed agreements supporting Latvia; Slovenia, Finland, and several other nations joined forces against the tiny nation.

Moments ago word arrived on eAmerican shores that Finland, once a minor eRepublik nation, had successfully conquered the eLatvian region of Latgale. Despite an attempt to rally American support for Latvia, Senator Tyler Jenkins proved unsuccessful in averting the tide of battle.

As chaos spreads across Europe, many Americans are left asking who is allied with whom. It remains a valid question, as a series of intertwined MPP agreements mean any European invasion will almost certainly draw the entire continent into bloodshed.

The battle is not over yet, where are you getting this info, from a crystal ball?!

Actually 2 minutes ago the RW in Moscow Region succeeded and Finland lost that region.

Now maybe some tanks will shift to the Latgale battle and we'll see what happens: 9 minutes to go and the wall is slowly rising, but it is so small a few tanks can demolish it in a few seconds.

Korbin King and Nave Saikiliah both had 3 terms. Scrabman wasn't the first.

Other than that, good article, voted.

Latgale fell and Lithuania and Latvia started the swap of the main target - Zegale.

Gobba did refuse the deal.

Sweden is still doing it to forestall an inevitable PEACE PTO, because Sweden has overreached.

Frankly, I'm looking forward to the Swedish "new citizen" message being in Hungarian.

Living in Estonia which really helped out Latvia I can say this. With global help we will be able to fight back Finland. For the majority of the battle Latvia was winning but at the end it changed.

If it's a war then so be it, the tensions of eEurope and the eWorld need to be let out or it's just going to get greater and greater.

Resistance movements in Germany and a vhole lot of caring Americans leaving for Estonia to fight for Latvia tell me that hope is not lost. It's important for Americans to read this, because vho ve sign treaties and alliances vith does matter. It says something about our government, and in a democratic tradition, ultimately, the citizens are responsible for the bad decisions made in our name.

I knew it! I said that if an ally attacks an ally, the first ally is not an ally anymore! Of course we couldn't trust them, but some politicians are a bit... dimwitted.

Europe's getting... interesting.

France will declare war on Sweden in 6 hours.

In the meantime, the Bundeswehr is ordering Germans to fight on the Swedish side in Rhineland-Palatinate while Sweden desperately tries to unload the border region to keep the French out. So far, the Swedish effort is narrowly failing.

I think I might just stock up on some Q1 guns, buy a ticket to Sweden (good hospitals) and see what all the fuss is about.
