Peasants of the Banana Republik, loyal minions of Serfdom,


This is the last Dictator report before farewell article in 10 days.



South America Love Fiesta

We have successfully finished our mission of helping Chilean bros. My personal mission was also to help our allies in Venezuela to get their Congress back and I'm glad that both Venezuela and Peru might start playing this game to the fullest now that they are getting their cores back. I've enjoyed my stay in South America a lot. I like their temperament, their sassiness and... bountiful vegetation (I even installed palm trees in my office here in our tropical island of Britannia). Nights spent on the chat with players from different South American countries, learning Spanish, about their culture and different RL issues that exist between these countries made me feel like I traveled there for real and enriched me, gave me more insight into how these people reason and why they do stuff they do. I hope they all start playing together and show European colonists what a real passionate force they can be. Great allies, all of them, friend or foe.


Buena suerte gente latina locos

Te echaré de menos (hope google was useful with this one)




War with France

France proposed us as Natural Enemy few days ago and it didn't come as a surprise to Congress or myself as I warned Congress more than a week before that France and Hungary were planning an attack on the Banana Republik. This is why we started preventive war against Norway to close down northern border, secure Northern Ireland for Congress and reset Croatian determination. At the same time we've prepared two back-up plans in case the invasion happens.

In my exchanges with French CP, she told me that is was drunk troll vote and that they had no choice but to vote YES after we proposed them for NE. However, my offer to transform this into a controlled training war and both earn more resource points was rejected. So we have no other choice but to continue down the path that was forced upon us and make sure we let France win as many regions of ours as possible so we can RW them, starting on Tuesday.


News in diplomacy with other countries


Norway

As you know we had a small war with Norway where we let them have our regions. We tried brokering peace with Italy but that was rejected by Norwegian Congress. As a sign of good will we tried securing their Congress. Norway arranged a training war with Ireland for the upcoming Resource Tournament but Irish CP didn't start the attack in time and Croatian auto-attack kicked in.


Russia

I'm pleased to say that after few exchanges I had with the Russian MoFA, our relations have slightly improved and we will definitely stay in touch as the new Russian government and Banana Republik have many common friends and potential enemies.


Poland

I started Trade Embargo law against their 'government' to safeguard all citizens of Serfdom and protect their health. The law is to prevent you guys from coming into contact with slimeballs there and contracting some nasty sexua*ly transmitted diseases.


USA

There is still no contact with the US government and relations have almost hit a rock bottom.


Cuba

After being wiped for such a long time by someone a lot stronger than them I decided to help Cubans get their Congress, despite them being allied to our enemies. And I'm glad I did it because of the terrible treatment they've been subjected to by Latvia. There were no strings attached to our help and I wish them good luck after elections.


Our allies

Relations are good with all of our allies. There were some hick-ups in relations between BR and MKD, mostly because of their disagreements with CRO but that is all past now. With CY the relations are getting stronger each day. The cooperation with our friends stays strong and we continue to help where it counts the most.


Alliance News

As you know, Cyprus and us founded a new alliance. You can read about it more here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2490880/1/20

We hope to transfer our passion, readiness to help all our friends and future allies into something tangible and have a fresh start. Also, you Congressmen can stop whining now that we don't have an alliance. You got what you deserved.


Economy

The economy is going strong and how wouldn't it when we have WayneKerr running the treasury? You can read his plans here:

Illiteracy levels and education

Thanks to tasos maximous, the illiteracy in the Banana Republik is at its lowest. Everyone wants to read his funny and educational articles, which can be found here:

Also, Pannonian nomad did a great job with "The Sound of the eUK Contest".


Resource wars

It is a prime objective to first get as many tokens as possible so we can somewhat control our picks. This is why you my peasants and all our allies need to let France get one more region before the contest starts. We also arranged a training war with Ireland so don't be surprised when they propose us for NE.

As for the resource we will prioritise weapons, food and lastly houses. Many have been suggesting 80-80-80 (as our max) with more realistic goals of 60-60-40 or even 60-40-20 depending how we do in the competition and bidding. We will see how it plays out but make sure to play smart now and let France win the next battle as well.


The article is already too long so that should be all for tonight.


Good night,
