Et Tu, Brute?

Day 1,874, 12:52 Published in Ireland USA by 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.
