Alliance survey results + Is an Asian alliance feasible?

Day 2,131, 20:43 Published in Philippines Republic of China (Taiwan) by Analia Arnheim

To have more background on what topic the new survey is concerned, please rea😛 http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Alliances

27 citizens answered the survey in the past two days. The sample size is around 8% of the total population of the Philippines.



WOLF had turned out to be the top choice among Filipinos, at 33%. Still, we can see a high percentage of indecision among the people, with the Undecided option garnering a distant 19%. Only 11% wanted to go back to NaN, which virtually fell after the exit of Cyprus and the Philippines this month.

However, I had this vision even before I became President of forming an alliance among countries in this part of Asia, namely China, Taiwan (ROC), Malaysia, Indonesia, even Thailand and Singapore (though there had been news that the last two mentioned are suffering from take over). The former foreign ministry of Indonesia also mentioned a possibility of forming an Asian alliance.


Map of the extent of the said countries today, only Philippines and Malaysia had no regions as of the time being

WOLF may had been seen as an attractive choice for the Philippines' next alliance mainly because of the recent presence of Pakistan in the region, who actually took over three of the Philippine core regions a few weeks back. Pakistan (289) now ranked 65 in population, with an average citizen level of 22. Still, if one looks it in a way, Pakistan is an outsider to the region, and WOLF is mainly a Middle Eastern alliance (no offense, only impartial analysis).





Asia had been an area of general peace in the New World. Only the interference of Pakistan in the Philippines (as substitute to the agreed occupation of Indonesia), occupation of Portugal in Japan (they are now out of here), and the Indonesia-Australia war had been the significant fighting seen here. Still, to some, an Asian alliance is also another attractive alternative. I mean, neighbors should be looking out for each other anyway. If one neighbor is occupied, the other will see their borders threatened. Also, who else could help better in developing military and economic progress than your friendly neighbors?

However, there were also past failures among regional alliances. Examples include:

* http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Arab_Confederation - an attempt to unify nations in the Arab world
* http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/PACMAN - an alliance between Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia
* http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Sol - perhaps the most successful to be formed in this part of Asia, but it eventually fell apart as well

Perhaps we should study the failures of these regional alliances first, before we could begin planning for an Asian alliance. Feasible? For me, yes, most probably. Long-lasting? Its hard to say yet.

Well, some say that the the larger countries (China, Indonesia, Taiwan) will just monger the smaller ones once such an alliance is formed. I believe, though, that these nations have their form of regional conscience, and would not allow their smaller neighbors to go empty-handed. Sure, there are defense issues, but is not an alliance supposed to look over unfairness and injustice, then correct them? Is an Asian alliance supposed to be visioned to keep, or even increase, the general peace and progress in the region (and that meant ensuring regions and congress elections for every member)?
