Et Tu, Brute?
Raven Anarcho
As two powerful nations come to the brink of war, the stability of the world's largest alliance continues to be questioned. This article will be yet another to look at some of the newest leaders of the eworld.
ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
China and Spain have recently voted to NE one another. Both Countries are evenly matched militarily, with the Spanish also having more resistance within its borders. It is believed the intention for the war with the Philippines was an attempt to reach China's borders. With an enemy this powerful fighting Spain, the Portuguese should expect to conquer back another region or two.
ET TU, BRUTE?
India has been growing closer to EDEN, establishing better relations with Ireland, China, and Argentina. This began when Croatia started renting regions from India. Before too long, the Croatian government reported that India had refused to let them stay, while the Indian government reported that the Croatians refused to pay. Croatia then attacked India. CoT responded first, and within days India has now accepted alliances with most of CoT's larger countries with exception to Chile, which was interestingly enough denied.
TAKE IT EASY THIS TIME
South Africa and Brazil had recently engaged in a lengthy war, with Brazil dominating in most of the battles. A treaty has since been signed between the two, but now a training war with the both nations has commenced.
REAGAN FALLS
The AFA, a largely accused PTO party, neither gained nor lost progress in this months election, falling short yet again with 40% of the vote. FingerGuns however had a much higher vote than recent presidential winners, at 59%. This was a result from all of the eU.S.'s major parties supporting one candidate or the other, instead of choosing to run their own candidates.

V great article
Good article as always.
FYI. Chilean MPP with India was rejected as Chile were about to attack Argentina. As India had MPP with Argentina then the MPP with Chile would have been wiped. So the proposal was rejected owing to being a waste of money.
Current situation here remains the same, a large bloc within India want to join CoT with the recent fiasco only adding to their numbers. How we square the circle with having an MPP with China as our biggest neighbour remains to be seen
Another great article.
India started negotiations with CoT 10 days before Croatia NEed them. Before I knew those facts I was neutral when it comes to two of them.
Now I know Croatia didn't done anything shameful or greedy. India is traitor in this story and they was hiding behind eCroatia from Thailand for a long time.
Indian MoFA and probably most influental person there is Serbian on level 21 (rea😛 multi) who wrote all those propaganda articles.
India used to be proud country with great leaders, but at this moment they are cowards who are playing victims there.
Sadly, India is on the other side now, what's gonna happen next I don't know, but I'll be fighting for Croats.
Very nice.
Great idea here. Would be good to also add some analysis from the past month (comparation with what CP's said and what was done)
@ The Psych0
I don't wanna start an argument, but I was MoFA at that time (before i resigned), and to my knowledge, we made no approach to CoT prior to the NE. There may have been an approach after my resignation, but certainly not 10 days prior to the NE. It may have been misinformation, dunno, but we are too far down this path now.
Anyway, good article. o7
nice
Yeah Psych0, when someone is accused of having 'talks' with an enemy alliance that means you can just NE them? Can threaten to wipe them? Or wipe them and give the one territory so they can have congress for good behaviour? Invite them onto an IRC channel for peace talks when the channel name is offensive in the extreme?
Croatian bullying at its finest and stupidest.
If India do join CoT then this incident will be a major contributing factor
Great article, voted.
Shut up MUFC, your just a puppet of Croatia and we know thats why you never said in public articles that we would be accepted into CoT if we wanted to join.
Newsflash, we can do what ever the hell we want. We don't need Croatian approval to join any alliance we choose. Its our choice and nobody elses.
@The Phych0
I would not put too much trust into the information that was passed to you. The pattern of "phantom logs" and "plotting with the enemy" as excuse is a well known and often used tactic by EDEN to justify actions that are in direct contradiction to the "brotherly love" within the sisterhood.
Either some sort of credible evidence is presented or this strategy will backfire yet again as it has done so many times in the past. Added to that is the admittance to shady dealings of Thailand, which reinforces what India has stated from the start, thus at this point it is up to Croatia to prove it's allegations as the Indian ones have been already.
In short, the "traitor" foreign policy approach no longer works and to be more precise it only digs deeper what might seem imposible to dig through.
well thought out and presented [dang, starting to sound like a grade 9 teacher.]. v, already subbed. gotta love those lucy quotes.
To spell it out more precisely, whenever the international community hears the code "traitor" from an EDEN country it rallies without the need of motivation or propaganda on the "traitors" side as they accept them in the vast and growing brotherhood of traitors to EDEN.
At this point the list is so long I wont even try to write it out, but it is the reason why EDEN is getting pummeled -- it's own stupidity. The fact that it cannot get away from it's tactics and rotten way of taking care of business only reinforces the belief that it is a corpse of an alliance, hence why so many countries have left and will continue to leave 1 by 1 until only the ones that have cut off all their avenues with everyone else remain.
Oh so funny to watch all of you noobs who don't have a clue what happened...
Please keep going, you're making me laugh..
@Marcus, you're going on rage mode towards Croatia AGAIN?
Funny how India changed all MPP's in two days.
@ Psych0 as I said, if you have information, make it public other than Serbian multi innuendos
@El Rebel - it was a knee jerk reaction by 'Serbian multis' to being threatened with a wipe by Croatia.
Funny isn't it? Classic example how threatening people brings about exactly the response least desired
India started negotiations with CoT 10 days before Croatia NEed them.

There are no proves for this other than empty claims that India did that but got denied... by Thailand. I think I don't need to explain how retarded this really is.
Meanwhile Croatia has been in talks with Thailand to wipe out India together.
