Allies and Foes(Part I)

Day 2,328, 15:35 Published in China Republic of Moldova by Luceafar Voievod

Sun Tzu once sai😛 “So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself” another proverb says something like this : “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”.

Keeping those in mind I have decided to write informative articles about our neighbours, their history and my personal opinion on them and their past/present actions.(I will publish more than 1 article because I am too lazy to write them all at once)

Granted some will say that some of our neighbours are too small to matter in a potential fight against us, but let’s keep in mind that ePakistan was a huge power at the start of the game and last year(or 2 - can’t remember exactly) South Korea had a 5K Baby Boom, so better safe than sorry.

Before I start if we first look at the “enemy” alliance we see that their most bonuses come from our area - Turkey has Iran and Saudi Arabia || Croatia is gathering time and resources from their indian colonies || FYROM has landed in Australia and shares bonuses with Chile who became the shiny prince in the last months)

Here we go, as a first presentation I picked one of the the oldest allies of ours and our neighbour for the past year. Before I start I wanna mention that the analysis is made from my point of view, a player that has over 5 years in the game and that has seen a lot and knows some things(not many ofc) and it’s not written from an official position.(so do not cry if I say things from the history that rub you the wrong way).



Croatia:
Population: 3,123
Gol😛 0
Currency: 546,671
Bonuses: 60-40


Lore: Croatia is/was known and appreciated by most it’s allies due to the fact that they always fight for their allies and leave their own battles last.

History: My first encounter with the croatian community was in some long forgotten EDEN.military channel and from that point the relation has grown day by day, Croatia for me became more than an ally it became home. I loved how they all stick together, fight for everyone and always gave 110% for all their allies. I got closer to them at the end of V1(if I remember it correctly) when they were deleted for the first time by Serbia and me - and my MU - harvested them (with wep/food/anything they needed - if I remember it well they costed around 3k cc/day to host) till they were brought back on the map where the RO army sacrificed itself till the end to ensure the final victory for eCroatia o7. But like always, no miracle lasts for ever and things started to change from good to bad over time, I guess do to the fact that Croatia could never defeat Serbia 1v1 and were always deleted by them from the start of v3 (or how the hell Plato named the new version o.O).

Present: Croatia took back its core regions for a short while not long time ago and they make their presence felt on the fields, especially do to their D4(remember they have Romper, Plato’s favourite costumer).


Pakistan:
Population: 352
Gol😛 700
Currency: 85,225
Bonuses: 20-0


Lore: Pakistan was once a mighty power of eRepublik, the place where Dio was born.

History: I remember them having big wars with India do to Real Life issues in the past and I also remember them celebrating HARD when they deleted India for the first time. The good old times I guess.

Present: I feel like the the NAP signed between eCN and ePakistan(from the time I was CP in ePakistan) has only made the relation and cooperation between the two countries only stronger. Also I wanna congratulate ePakistan for the amazing victory they had against eBrasil some weeks ago.


Russia:
Population: 2,666
Gol😛1,901
Currency:522,346
Bonuses: 60-60


Lore: I remember eRussia as being the country with the most desired bonuses and regions from the start of the game, till Plato changed it and introduced bonuses and removed the q5 regions.

History:As I just said eRussia has always seen big wars on their lands and for their bouesse, maybe as a particular memo we can all remember Parter

Present: The relations between eCN and Russia keep on growing and developing nicely, they even helped eCN reset the determination in the colonies - thus the training war from the past week.



This is all for now, rest to come soon - in the next days - for more informations and an even more detailed analysis on the neighbouring countries and their alliances - aka the good stuff - to come in the next articles. *building suspense*


*Note the gold and CC are from what it shows in the country page and not what they have on orgs, so do not consider in anyway that those are all their money*
