A Romanian Blitzkrieg, and The End of Pakistan

Good Evening
Tonight, we speculate on the ramifications of the fall of Pakistan.
Main Article
Around 7 hours from the time of this writing, Pakistan fell to Romania in a wide and sweeping succession of victories, with Pakistan "retreating" from its besieged territories. A critical blow to PEACE, and a great victory for ATLANTIS, and all because of a TO led by Han Solo in Pakistan's government. Romania proceeded to invade all of Pakistan, starting in Guizhou and ending in Guangxi, leaving only the capital of Hainan left flying the moon and star.
PEACE supporters are lamenting the loss of one of their stronger allies, crying foul for the Romanian's use of a PTO. (For those unfamiliar with the lingo, political take over. I wondered about this for months. 😛
) Romania, however, is quite happy, as would be expected, and has proven that they truly are a force to be reckoned with. With their reclamation of the West Siberia a little while ago, this shows a clear shift in momentum for ATLANTIS, Romania in particular.
With the fall of Pakistan, the Romanian Empire has truly been established. They now have 42 regions, and over a tenth of the entire eRepublik population, as well as the economies and resources that follow, not to mention ATLANTIS' backing. They control areas in Europe, the Middle East, most of Russia, and now have taken over a massive chunk of Asia. This has upset the balance of power enormously. This doesn't even mention their traveling soldiers and tanks assisting their allies abroad. Now Indonesia has to deal with the Romanians in their own backyard, and will have to, at least momentarily, lessen their efforts abroad, like Germany and elsewhere.
The question now is whether Indonesia, up to now Romania's equal, can hold their ground and their own empire. Clearly this calls into question places like Australia, where the Indonesians have given back some territory, and whether Indonesia will need to retake these pockets to bolster against Romanian attack.
Now, this will draw some ire from my Romanian readers, but it needs to be addressed, in respect to the eUS and the rest of ATLANTIS. Romania is controlling a massive amount of power at the moment. With PEACE at a clear disadvantage, who is to say what Romania will be capable of if they are able to hold on to Pakistan, and possibly defeat Iran? ATLANTIS needs to re-evaluate Romania, as both a member and as a singular power. I am not saying Romania should be kicked out or anything of that sort, but what I am saying is this: a hungry tiger attacks and eats its natural enemies because of its nature. When it runs out of its natural enemies, where will it feed?
In Other News
Germany is experiencing severe turbulence as Salzburg was captured and Tyrol is currently experiencing RW, with PEACE winning at the time of publication by 60k.
Croatia now controls a majority of Serbia, with Serbia's complete destruction imminent within the next 48 hours.
A. Holst went penguin bowling (a.k.a. cursed out all of Denmark) after he was impeached by Denmark's Congress. He has gone to the US, assumedly seeking political asylum, and been replaced with Lerdeif, a Communist.
The first Baja war games are almost finished, with 55 minutes to go as of publication. Burrito food poisoning is rampant along the southern border.
That's all we have for today. 😃

Great article! Voted and Subscribed.
Romania & Atlantis ftw!
"a hungry tiger attacks and eats its natural enemies because of its nature. When it runs out of its natural enemies, where will it feed?"
Do you find Romania as being a threat to Atlantis? Taking down our common enemies is a threat for Atlantis?
And btw..hypothetically if the tiger eats all the enemies, there are still a bunch of neutrals out there on the field 😛
I think that any nation that is close to the size of the Roman Empire or Alexander's Greece is something that everyone should be wary of. Regardless of their good or bad intentions. 😉
We would never attack our ally you and your readers must remember that!
interesting

Do you measure power in the number of occupied regions? I think not. Romania was the one of the two great powers on erep before occupying Pakistan, which fact changed not an iota them being such. Occupying this many regions has its own dangers I think - all great empires have fallen, so I hope their end is drawing close.
I'm asheamed that I did not notice yours quality newspaper until now.
Anyhow, I do subscribed from today. Very good job and ... intresting questions about the future.
Best regards.
Pakistan was more like an empty shell... Iran the same. The only true power in ASIA remains INDONESIA. Maybe their problems in RL will affect their eRepublik performance as well. 😉
Voted.
And subscribed. 🙂
Quicksilver : We are waiting for the hungarians to start a battle today to show us how an empire fall 😉
@Quicksilver there are 2 months since u say Romanian empire will fall
I agree that the world needs balance, but I disagree when you say that the reason for this inbalance is Romania. Take a look at the map. Can you show me where India is? Or China? Or South Africa? Or Australia? They seem a little different than their RL counterparts, don't they? Indonesia has some of the best regions in he eWorld and is probably the only country that has all the resources possible.
All the regions that Romania has conquered are only to reach Indonesia. We don't need them, they are useless and they are a political and military vulnerabililty.
@author:
Well my friend, ask Swedes, Finns, Croats, Spaniards if they are afraid of Romania. After you will get their answer, you can republish this article.
@Quick: keep dreaming. meanwhile get a GF 😁
