[Serfdom] State of the Banana Address - South American Love Fiesta
10 Downing Street
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,
Ser Fartsalot

"And I'm glad I did it because of the terrible treatment they've been subjected to by Latvia." LOL, please elaborate
Elaborate on what? You spending hundreds of thousands just so they can't have a Congress, them being told they will wiped for a year... Basically them being treated as trash?
I think you have some misleading information, because I`ve never told that. We actually had NAP discussions which would have been successfull if porky wouldn`t had gone full retard and start asking me to risk my money on warranting possible actions by 3rd party countries because of his inability to make a deal with them. We had agreed on not starting RWs in exchange for 10 member congress and it got off because of his stupid demands. If you cared so much about Cuba why didn`t you just send me a PM about the situation instead of spending UKs money because of the misleading information you had reiceved?
You'll probably find "El Presidente" spent his own, I hope, rather than our glorious bananas cos they're mine, all mine.............yes my precious
Yes, NAP deals... but not for this Congress. 😃 And lol Tangbod. You made me laugh. 🙂
So you are accusing me of treating Cuba like trash while in reality the situation was very different. In fact I constantly got PMs from their last months CP which I should have reported, but because of me attacking them its kind of understandable why he did that. Other than that I have no freaking idea about what trash-treatment are you talking about, feel free to tell me if you have some actual facts.
The least you could is remove that misleading information from the article. You can replace it with:
I got told some bs stories, so without further investigation I decided to f*ck with friendly nation, and I managed to succeed at that.
All that matters is that they have a Congress now and can play the game. We may disagree on characterisation of your interactions with their small community.
What is there to disagree? Did you help proAsteria country based on some bs you were told without any intentions to get to the bottom of the situation? Yes. Are the things you are saying in this article are absolutely false? Yes. Did Latvia treat Cuba as you say we did in this article? No
And since when do you care about proAsterian countries getting congress?
Oh those darn rascals... They should be happy to be without Congress for so long. Leave your crap logic for someone else and it's none of your business who I help. I hate seeing small and weak communities being bullied and I'll help them regardless of who they want to play with. No wonder we're losing players when Venezuela, Cuba and other countries can't even experience all aspects of this game for months... and Cuba was pretty much left dry by Asteria.
