United Kingdom, accidentally determining alliance relations since 2016
TheJuliusCaesar
A young man stumbled through the door into a large room dominated by an old wooden table made of oak, upon which were laid maps after maps detailing the current advances of Pacifican and British forces.
"Sir, Sir!" he managed to utter with a baited breath, "Britain has joined Orion".
The looks on the face of the men circled around the table varied from shock to amusement to concentration, probably a result of calculating further moves and scenarios ahead to determine the best approach for the wholly changed situation.
Sometimes a modest move in the chessboard leads to a total overhaul of the game. Such was the case when United Kingdom managed to join Orion amidst the Pacifican invasion on the isles on December 2016. The move meant that, suddenly, Pacifica was in a war with a pair of alliances with superior damage, coordination and size, with Orion and Asteria.
We all know how it went, and what happened after it during the spring of 2017. I have written about it, as have many others. In essence, Pacifica moved closer towards Asteria to prevent the miscalculation from happening again. And so far it had worked.
In a way, history repeated itself during the autumn of 2017. Pacifica again invaded Britain, though this time it was not the aggressor. UK launched the first NE on Pacifica, to which the Pacifican response was merciless. Even the context was eerily similar: back in 2016 UK had borderline no one to back them up sufficiently before joining Orion. Now in 2017 UK, strangely, picked a timing of NE during which the whole of ProAsteria was busy in South America, which effectively meant that regardless of UK's nominal attachment to Orion and ProAsteria, everyone was too busy to help them.
As a cherry on top of the cake, recently UK proposed a law to leave the Orion alliance, something which looks like it is passing. I don't believe UK thought back in 2016 the magnitude of effects their move had. I don't also think UK though similar concerns right now, as it looks they didn't really debate it all that much.
UK is again in a war with Pacifica (for a minute). UK is again without an alliance. Pacifica would have never gone this close to Asteria without UK's moves back in 2016.
The movement that started the current alliance development has gone a full circle, ladies and gentlemen. It's almost poetic.
Thank you, dear Britons o/

Does this mean that Pacifica will go the other way and get closer to Andes?
From their own perspective UK is threatened mostly from Pacifica. So to avoid these attacks they should build good relations with Pacifica, shouldn't they?
They probably should, and they are doing it. This is not-so-serious article compared to my other rants, but more of a humorous observation that UK's decision then had an effect on Pacifican direction, and that UK is reversing that decision now.
Not necessarily.

Hmm
Whether you were a candid pawn

How to pick a winning alliance in eRepublik?
1. Look up which alliance eUK belong to.
2. Pick the other one!
Has worked since 2010.
Pacifica went closer to Asteria because they don't have ballz to attack them, except Hungary.

Ireland been pwning them with 1/4 of their strength and while being on weaker side most of the time. That says enough.
We're crap and we know it.
But hey, things are never dull with the UK... 😉

That's a nice response article tbh
What war between Asteria and Pacifica man?
Do you imagine those things or you just throw stuff around before you crawl back to Asteria ?
Be honest to your self and your people.
Pacifica is a subordinate of Asteria especially the past few months under the influence of Prophet who is radical pro serbian (he says that not me).
We all understand and respect the fact your alliance is built around how poland will keep on farming without engaging in war but dont feed us all this BS please enough.
First, the article is supposed to be more humorous than some of my others.
"What war between Asteria and Pacifica man?"
The one that was fought between Pacifica and ProAsteria in December 2016 - February 2017, after UK joined Orion and dragged them in.
Pacifica was decisively in the middle, between then existing Syndicate and Asteria. We were under an SG-ship of a Hungarian player, Nalaja, in Autumn of 2016. It was our raison d'etre. Purpose of existence to be in the middle. Go ahead and ask others.
Pacifica only moved towards Asteria after the conflict with proAsteria to prevent it from happening again. I don't know how to state it more clearly.
Regarding the current situation, here's a nice map of it. Make of it what you will. We've talked about that before.
If you approach in such an aggressive manner, you might want to double-check what you're talking about. I hold no grudges towards you. It's just history.
Julius i am not being aggressive and the fact that i comment on your work is not a negative thing it rather is appreciation towards both your articles and your personal touch in particular.
Now regarding alliances and Pacifica no you were never in the middle and i was art of the talks for the 4 Countries to enter Pacifica back then.
You say" Pacifica only moved towards Asteria after the conflict with proAsteria to prevent it from happening again. I don't know how to state it more clearly."
That is admitting you are Proasterian and the reason is you fear having to fight them more or less what i say aint it?
Makes sense to follow a policy like that since the dominant powers in Pacifica are close to Asteria (POLAND) they like farming and not war so they would sell the whole group for the protection of mama serbia at any instance. We have seen that in the past for different situations this how they think especially prophet.
Now i believe you notice that more or less we agree on your open
/direct version about Pasterifica.
