【MoFA】The current alliance structure
Foreign Office
Greetings, Mad Paulys. Today, we will be visiting the wonderful world of international alliances. For a long time, alliances were unofficial groupings of countries, and to an extent this is still true today. However, the basis for international alliances is publicly viewable (albeit largely inaccurate and out of date) in the alliance rankings. For those too lazy to view, this article today will focus on introducing the three main alliances active today; Pacifica, Andes and Asteria. Whilst a view of their ingame structure will show some countries, I will be including 'unofficial' members of each alliance. Whilst these countries are not members of the alliances they are listed under, they are de-facto members as they rely on these alliances for their defence.
Pacifica, for the purpose of this article, is judged to include the following countries: USA, Poland, Russia, Republic of China (Taiwan), Colombia, Latvia, Finland, Sweden, and Mexico. The alliance has always struggled for damage, especially after the decision was taken to kick Hungary out in the not too distant past.
The alliance has had wars with both Asteria and Andes nations, but in recent months found itself being described as an Asterian symbiote; reliant upon a peace with Asteria for its survival. Thus, an unspoken and uneasy peace existed between the two. This peace was eventually shattered with the invasion of a Pacifica member, USA, by pro-Asterian members this month. Since then, many have written the alliance off, assuming it is on borrowed time. However, as of yet, whilst countries have reportedly started talks to leave, the alliance itself remains active (if not bruised). A summary of the alliance's damage can be seen here;
Andes for the purpose of this article, is judged to be made up of the following countries: Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Croatia, Albania, Australia, Turkey, Hungary, Greece, Egypt, Ireland, Thailand, The Philippines, South Korea and Cyprus. This alliance is basically a collection of countries who tried to work together in a past alliance (found here), which was ultimately defeated by Asteria. Since the end of that alliance, these countries have banded together, and whilst the majority of their collective force was used against Asteria, during the Asteria-Pacifica peace, they started to also challenge Pacifica, culminating in the rude insertions discussed previously in this newspaper.
A summary of the damage of this grouping can be seen here:
Please note, due to the vast number of countries here, my pie chart couldn't fit The Philippines (1.0
😵or Bolivia (0.1
😵and Paraguay (0.1
😵.
Now that we have seen were each of the active alliances draws their power from, let's begin to compare the alliances! Firstly, let's compare the alliances two at a time, so we can see how they stack up against one another;
Key: Red - Andes, Blue - Asteria
Key: Red - Pacifica, Blue - Asteria
Key: Red - Pacifica, Blue - Andes
Key: Red - Andes and Pacifica, Blue - Asteria
Finally, I'd just like to quickly mention that the above statistics were used without including several nations, either because including them would make my graphs less pretty, or, too crowded. Asteria and Andes are missing countries which would add 4% to their figures. Pacifica is missing countries which would add 0.3% to its figures. With that, and taking account of all nations on eRepublik and their probably allegiance should a full out war occur on eRepublik, the alliances share of the damage based on my snapshot would be as follows;
I hear Aaron's articles are better than mine, hmm?

Hail Banana 🍌
NSPP!!
I did ask about Banana, alas, the n0s3 is unwilling to let us back in. He said it's Kekco's fault.
Well, guess I need to spam some inboxes until they block me...
da. Please let me know if you do, sending a message is basically enough work to warrant 'MoFA' as a title these days :3
Voted.
There is a mistake in the Asteria section. It says "asteria invading asterian nations"
Guess you meant "pacifica"
nice article btw
Freudian slip :3
let our your unconscious :3

Andes+Pacifica?

there is no comparison Asteria & Pacifica / Andes
Aaron > jamesw
Why do you support Aaron?
it's kinda like the Trump/Clinton thing... both are cockends, its just that one is slightly less pompous.
Yeah, that Clinton cow is kinda spastic.
Btw Old 7, Aaron claims he dated a Bulgarian girl. You don't want that thing genetically mixing with one of yours 🙁

AS Bulgaria?
I quite appreciate a big slice of pomposity in a leader....
Should you?

Asteria is just a puppet alliance for Orion but okay.
Great article again, but seriously, who made your banners?
Hail Andesteria
Very good
"including them would make my graphs less pretty"
Yes
You didn't take into consideration Han Lolos free EBs and Gold. Otherwise, a great article.

HAIL ANDESTERIA !
Voted, really interesting
The data are from last week's leaderboard, right?
[removed]
I can not see the pictures
I do not believe in these data, Andes is overrated and Asteria is far superior to the other groups.
Asteria is a bunch of proles
Very interesting but pretty!

Where are the numbers for damage coming from? How is air damage calculated in these graphs?
hi romper, i think he used this https://www.erepublik-deutschland.de/en/tools/mppdamagecalculator
Air damage and ground damage aren't distinguished, and yes I used ^
Voted & Endorsed. Very informative and interesting article.

Problem is using damage from current times - whereas most nations are no longer at their full potential due to lack of interest/boring times
Still a good gasp of knowledge - though one would argue about some "allignemtns" you've mande...UK as Asteria is a joke
