Stop the UK! Why holding onto England is crucial
Shoi12
Why are we letting the UK take back their lands? We have won the war. We at one point had seized all their lands. Now, apparently our higher-ups are fine with giving up our foothold into Europe. This is an awful idea, and can be solved much better.
As you are reading this, the UK is revolting throughout England, taking back what they claim is rightfully theirs. Now, I don't have a problem with the UK existing. If we gave them just the three provinces in the southeast, they would be happy. They would exist, and we could have peace between the two countries. But no, somehow we are just gift-wrapping their lands and backing out of Europe. WHY?
We have much at stake with our war against the UK. While the UK is to no extent a superpower to be taken out at all costs, they possess two key things: a border into mainland Europe and oil.
Let's face it. France is losing, and in weeks could possibly be wiped. Why? Besides their low population, the fact is is that Hungary has no one to fear. Hungary can sit and relax while poor France tries to live because Hungary has a greater following. We don't need SE England, but if we gave up SW England, we would have no way of flanking the Hungarian blob. If we could attack them from England, France, and through revolts all at once, we would have a much higher chance of liberating Paris and knocking Hungary down a peg.
Alright, helping our buddies is nice. But what about Canada itself, you may ask. What do we have to gain? Well, if you've paid attention to the map resources, you'll see that England has two provinces producing oil: East Midlands and East England. Now, East England was never under our control for long, if at all, so not taking it is forgivable. After all, if the UK had no oil, they'd be tempted to fight us ferociously for it. But our motherland in North America has NO OIL. Zero. Zilch. Oil helps our entire industry and our military campaign function more effectively. With oil, our might is even greater than before. Without it, we stand the chance of being wiped.
Another point of note is for the young rookie who decides to enter the New World. The reason I joined Canada was not only because the people spoke fluent English, but also because of the glorious sacking of England happening at the time. I thought to myself, "Wow, Canada's a champ! I expected them to be a weak country, but they're beating England to a pulp! I want to join a strong country with good organization, so I'll join them!" How can we recruit new players to our country if they see us losing to a fractured smudge on the map like the UK? Players often go to countries they believe are strong, and right now we look very weak and vulnerable.
The main argument against such action is that we have better things to do than to hold onto England. WHAT? We are not being invaded by Serbia, we are not going through civil war, we are not poor, we are not even in any other war! There is nothing of great importance that we are actively involved in. Besides, as long as the UK and Canada remain in rival alliances, we will keep fighting until the apocalypse. If When we go back to war with them, I want to already have half of their lands under control. Besides, land is always good. ALWAYS.
So here's my proposal. As of publication, the UK has the three southeast provinces, West Midlands, and Yorkshire. As stated before, it's fine for the UK to exist, but their presence must not hinder our country. So we must hold onto the lands we currently have. Without the western shore of England, we lose our chance to save France if necessary. Without our oil province, we will suffer a critical blow to our internal systems. We cannot let the UK reclaim these lands. If they want them, they'll have to conquer them from us in official war!
Well, that's all I have to say for now. Until next time, take care!

*Claps*, keep up the good articles ^.^, maybe more pics next time.
Our president has spoken of his "sexy war", we are all waiting for his plan to bare fruit. But he said that UK is not part of it. Read Sperry's article from the past two weeks in his paper "Northern Standard" .
Still, a good article. Other opinions are always valuble becuase from out past we know our leaders do not always take us the right path.
Interesting points, but it is pointless to hold lands apart from the oil one and the pathway to it. It serves us no purpose,
Most other countries hold oil, so the "sexy war" will likely give us said oil
Good article.
*slow clap*
eUK FTW!
'If we gave them just the three provinces in the southeast, they would be happy'
lolwut...
A good article btw, add one&two pics and it'll be great.
UK...UK...UK, Britian is rising we will take back our land!
Anyway why are you guys trying to conquire your own brithers and sister?
We used to have 6000 citizens, nearing 7000. Now we're below 2000. Pretty sad.
Kippers, if you feel sad about it, you can always choose not to be a part of the 'inactive' party leadership problem, and choose to do something with the great opportunity you have as PP of a Top 5 party.
I agree that we must fight. However, eUK must PERISH!
Nothing less than the complete and total annihilation of eBritain is acceptable. As far as I am concerned, President Sperry is a TRAITOR and must be impeached!
Wow QuebecDave this is a strong accusation you wrote there "As far as I am concerned,President Sperry is a TRAITOR and must be impeached!".I can see you've been on erep for only a month and a half, Sperry has done alot of great thing for eCanada, do like i did,read the past history of eCanada and you'll see that Sperry is nothing of a traitor.I do respect your opinion, but i think that calling someone his a traitor is overeacting.Try to find what other eCanada Pres did(rolo...) and you'll see!!
you already abandoned france. by not declaring war against Hungary. your country only care for itself and sucking up to america. if your country cared about its allies they would have tried to attack Hungary instead u invaded uk and did nothing against Hungary. does your country have any more shame. canada should not really be a country and just be apart of usa really.
your article is good yes but your country fails, if your country did what u wrote in the articles i would have much more respect for canada.
joshta,eCanada has been pushing to move beyond UK to lend help to allies where it is needed. The issue is not with the will of the CP and his administration, yet lies with other complications of negotiating between two alliances. I know I'd rather have war with Hungary, Spain, Belgium or some other nearby pro-ONE nation to get us beyond repeating the same tug-o-war with eUK we've been through the last year or two
As I'm learning, pushing teh button takes some extra patience and communication
or just Rylde's intervention.
lulz at joshta's bad timing
Great article, bravo!
"Total annihilation" sounds quite painful, but anywho don't you think the eUK would like it's historical land not just three measly regions? I would. Just my two cents.
The losses are not 100% the fault of the president. The UK is using the time zones to there advantage. They attack in the evening it it continues through the night. We get one more win in the morning but our resources are used causing them to take the last wins. There is more to these outcomes than meets the eye.
'If we gave them just the three provinces in the southeast, they would be happy'
Lol
I wonder if Shoi remembers when a few months ago the UK attacked Canada and needed American help? would you have accepted just three canadian regions for a treaty? Both countries have attacked, been invaded and needed help...the eUK regularly faces attacks on many fronts so while Canada is strong your not as powerful as you think Shoi (i'm not idiotic enough to claim we wouldnt be where we are without allies bailing us out)
...and to be honest you strike me as one of those players who will vanish onto the next internet game if ever Canada is invaded and occupied for a few months. No offence meant i just get that impression from the wording of your article...well written though to be fair.
hummm i seem to remember when we attacked canada and took two regions all by our own and then got attacked by eUSA soooo we can fight back without allies help
lol at some guy thats been playing a just over a month asking if people remember something
alrite there ajay?
obviously one month in candadian= 6 months in english
