Hello Readers!!



Yesterday I didn't get time to write an article. 😛
The reason was because I had two other articles to write instead. My party wanted to promote Jamesw running for country president and someone requested for me to make a article promoting the British Army, so I just found a article I've done before, got that and changed it a bit. Although it wasn't promoting the British Army, it was promoting everyone to join their national army, then some Spanish dude wanted to use my article and re-release it in their country to get people to join their national army there so I let them 😃

So as you can see it's been pretty busy 😛



Okay, well lets start off in the UK!
UK failed their attack on Scotland against Canada and are on the backfoot once again and are having to defend North East of England. Northern Ireland has been successfully defended though so there is still a victory!
The war really is starting to heat up now. Many Greeks, Romanians, Croatians and Bulgarians are starting to move to Ireland, and since most of their enemies have UK MPPs both sides are starting to get more and more support. The UK have sort of lost that attacking mind-set we had not too long ago. Out attitude now has changed to be more of a 'lets just see what happens' sort of thing. Because we believe we can last longer than both sides in this war, so defending is a much better option, however we do need to regain Scotland, that is a must.

The UK are winning in North East of England, and the UK does have time-zone advantage over the Canadians not to mention we've been getting huge Serbian and Macedonian support recently which is brilliant.



Estonia are moving forward and have taken Southern Finland and Western Finland, they are now onto Oulu in which they are also currently winning.
Finland only have the bonus that their capital gives them as Aland's only border is Western Finland which now belongs to Estonia. The question is, can Estonia retain what they have? Finland have not yet began a resistance war but when they do we'll see how good Estonia will be at handling it. I believe the best way to retain is not to win in resistance wars though, the best way would be if in the event of the enemy winning a resistance war, then just re-open a full war with them to knock them back down. It's exactly what Argentina does to Peru, and it works.



Volga Vyatka is being attacked by Russia in a resistance war against Lithuania. There is also another in Volga, against Turkey, again, a resistance war - Turkey are winning easily, but Lithuania however are not. Since Lithuania lost Leningrad Oblast, Russia now has connected regions and are once again getting bonuses for the region they own.
While all this is happening, Turkey are attacking Moscow and Central Russia, which if they are able to gain then Russia will only have two connected regions, rather than four.

Here is a perfect representation of how things are in Russia.

If however, Russia are able to secure Moscow and Central Russia then never fear! As Latvia have opened a war with them and their battle will queue up with that of Turkey.



Bulgaria have started a resistance war in Varna but it does look as if they are going to lose that. There is little Bulgaria can do at the moment. Croatia are wasting damage in Slovenia, Romania have their own problems, Greece don't even care about their own country, let alone Bulgaria as they are on holiday in Ireland and I can't even find Ukraine on the map!! So, to sum up, it's not a good day for Bulgaria. If Bulgaria want to get back to full strength then the best thing they can do is move to another country in which there is a war open against a ONE country so EDEN can actually start winning a few battles, when that happens then pressure will be relieved off of EDEN countries and ONE will concentrate damage on their losing battles and so countries like Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria will begin to return back to their previous strength again.



Slovenia have opened a war with Italy to regain the regions they lose, and to reconnect their Italian/Swiss colonies giving them some pretty decent bonuses.
Slovenia are winning by a hell of a lot but I think they should close their training war with Croatia because it wastes damage and to be honest, it isn't needed.

Germany have gained another region back off the Poles and now on the map, Germany looks bigger than it's been for a while, even if they do only have three region under their belt. But Poland aren't doing anything about it because they are too busy proposing Russia as a natural enemy. They are hoping to win in Kaliningrad, move into Leningrad and if Lithuania were to lose Northern Russia, or Turkey and Latvia to fail in Moscow then they'll be able to take that. But I do believe it's sort of stealing the glory from ABC and Turkey. What I'd much rather see if Lithuania to retreat, Poland to move into Russia purely to begin a war with China, because there is no doubt they have caused some serious damage and are a huge nuisance for ONE and hitting China would be a help, and while Poland are in China, Lithuania and Turkey can continue their war with Russia and without Chinese help, Russia may break a little faster. But, hey, that's just my opinion.

Poland have got this training programme going, in fact there are two. One is to encourage new players to get a mentor and another is where they tell players to use the strength training that costs 0.19 gold and they'll be refunded their 0.19 gold for the next day.
If this goes big then Poland will put in even more damage into battles because even little thing like this can make a huge difference. If it goes really well then I think the UK should start to do something like this.



Plato's home-region of Attica is now under Macedonian control which leaves just four Greek home-regions left out of ten. I'd like to also remind you that the Greek capital is still surrounded and therefore Greece are only getting the bonus in which their capital is giving them.



Egypt failed in Middle Egypt in their resistance war against Greece but since Greece are too busy it's fair to say Egypt can have another go in the near future. Middle Egypt will provide a foothold for them as all the other times they still had the danger of Greece but now thanks to Macedonia they have removed that danger.
Egypt are determined not to let Greece take a rest from war and Egypt are already planning what time to start a resistance war as they are wanting to co-ordinate it with their brothers in Saudi Arabia.

Israel are attacking Cyprus in a resistance war, but this time Cyprus are ontop of thing and are not letting this region go as it will cut of regions from their capital, not allowing them to use their well-earned resources.
Israel has been proposed as a natural enemy by Cyprus so they can finally wipe them back off the map again.



Twelve regions will be cut off from the American capital if Michigan is successfully taken by the Spaniards. Spain do look back on the ball and I'm sure they do not want to regain Canary Islands just yet as it will make them have a border with Brazil, and if that happens and Brazil do begin another war then Spain may have to retreat a lot of their American colonies again. This time Spain are really going for it. It's definitely a war to watch.

I lol'd at this article if any of guys want to read it 😛



Indonesia are about to wipe Malaysia off the map for the second time in two months. The Indonesians have been very fast in their war and the reason for this is because of their time-zone. They are able to open a battle just before a eRepublik day ends and therefore when that battle is over they can open another as it's a new day. Once that battle is over it a new day again and therefore they are able to start battle in quick succession.



I think it's about time France and Germany leave Terra because the UK does not want to join any alliance and want to stay neutral. But in the forums a lot has been going off, MPP requests and what not, but we're not sure what to do as we feel France and Germany are as close to us as they have been in the past. In other words, the UK feels slightly lost without France and Germany by our sides. We're the 3 best friends anybody could have 😉

I'd also like to see what Sweden's next move is. To be fair, I think they should attack Norway. They are an EDEN nation, ABC and Turkey have Russia and Finland covered. A war is already open with Ireland. Sweden could open a war with Canada if they so wished, but I believe Norway would be the best option for them.

I'd also like to know what is happening with Croatia. They have a training war with Slovenia and have an agreement with Serbia not to attack I believe. But I do not think there is any sort of agreement with Hungary, so I see no reason why they are not to attack Croatia, getting rid of the heart of EDEN. Once the heart is gone, EDEN will slowly die.

Thanks for reading, leave comments below, I wanna hear your thoughts on things.
