The Belgian-Argentinan Conundrum
BaronVanZon
As some shouted earlier, alot of people were wondering what the whole Argentinan attack on Belgium was all about. Together with icurlybear, the Belgian president, Het Parool analyzes the war.
icurlybear, Belgium is currently occupied by Argentina, as many of our readers noticed already. What exactly brought this war on?
This "war" as you call it was really a one-sided fight. Argentina wanted a base of operation and Belgium was an obvious choice when it comes to an AS. We are neighbors to a bunch of countries. The small number of regions we have, also allows quickly closed wars.
It is said Belgium is just 'en route' to the UK, the real target in this campaign. Are there any agreements with Argentina to get back territory once the war with the UK has finished?
As said before, Argentina wanted an easy landing in the region. But we're indeed not the real target as their invasion in eUK can demonstrate. I've had communications with the Argentinian gov and they told me that as we are not their target, they'll try to free us as soon as possible. I'm hoping that'll be before congress elections.
I take it there will not be any RW's soon then?
Any RWs started without Argentina consent is doomed to fail in my opinion. Belgium just doesn't have the required military power to free itself and our allies, mainly eUK, is already busy defending their own countries or with other campaigns. As soon as I'm told the RWs can success we'll start freeing our regions, but not before that as we can't afford to waste 10k CC per failed RWs.
Thank your for your insights.

with their mpp with eArgentina i don't think it's possible dear Cotarius : )
They will be free if they are in eUK and then eNL can take over so it will be big fun, hahaha.
Maybe I can become the dictator of it 😃
I see more a revenge with this mpp. They are free of course, but sad to fight against a friendly country.
Now if they are happy to have a victory because they had one injustice, it's their choice. They didn't need to make one mpp, just go there to fight.
Now it's their choice. I will not fight for a revenge.
Full country mergers like in the past do not work anymore with current game mechanics
*cough* Germark *cough* 😉
No Neun, that is not a full merger, Denmark still has their own regions, their own government, congress etc.
I'm afraid you're correct.
I liked it in eUNL, even with the Belgian party being the biggest one.
But even with those game mechanics it was hard to keep it up forever...
With the new game mechanics, we could still do determination resets etc... And leave a dictator in charge of the wiped country. That provides fool-proof protection against PTOs.

I agree that it is a controversial move...
Here in eNL as well, so you won't need to worry too much I guess.
well they needed a base yes, but for me eArgentina has a goal, to be one empire.
They can't take countries near eArgentina, they saw after the AS of Montenegro, AS of eJapan, As of Monenegro again (yes they really love brussels airline), a single possibility to go after eUK.
Now to be honest they are superior with their allies, just RW must me managed with a good coordination.
A country rank 5 in a big alliance, we are not superman, batman, Hulk... : )
but seriously i hope that the governement will never make a treaty with them, we need to keep our freedom. The prize can be high but we need to be different like others countries pro-Asteria who are not frank to say they are bored.
I agree. No treaties, unless all other options have been tried. And if they say they will leave of their own accord, well than that is all the better...
our president made one 😁
but no belgian i think will follow it : )
Brussels will be free soon now! http://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield-new/64468
