Around the World in 60 seconds : Day 1,014

Day 1,014, 10:50 Published in Canada Albania by Roger Griswald

Todays highlights:
- eSouth Africa was such a mess, the PTOers needed to sign a contract to work out the details.
- eSerbia was pushed back yesterday in its Northern eAsian battles
- eIndia won its battle against eSerbia and decides to press its luck against eSerbia once more.
- eCroatia finds victory in South Dalmatia putting then one step closer to reuniting all of eCroatia.
- eSerbia experiences a major baby boom; critics call it a multi and bots boom.

Quote of the Day:

“The one remaining region we must reconquer is Northern Ireland. This will be done in due course. Barring any further animosity from Canada, our country will once again be whole for our next elections on the 5th.” - jamesw (read his CP address here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-pm-almost-mission-complete-1501479/1/20)




eSouth Africa

Well in what is by far the most up-front and blatantly obvious action by a PTO group, the eSouth African (currently PTOed by eHungarians), eBrazilian and eHungarian governments have signed into an agreement for who will control each eSouth African region and when. The agreement stems from a major mis-understanding between Phoenix members eHungary and eBrazil, that resulted in eBrazil attacking the titanium rich eSouth African region of Northern Cape last week.

As the eHungarian PTOer in eSouth Africa were upset that eBrazil attacked their region without authorisation, Phoenix has stepped in to correct the situation and smooth over relations between all three eNations.

The full agreement, which can be read here : http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/agreement-between-ebrazil-ehungary-and-esouth-africa1-1502266/1/20, has already taken efffect and the eSouth Afican regions of Gauteneg and North West Province have already been transferred to eBrazilian control.

The agreement will certainly see major benefits for Phoenix nations as they will remove all eSouth African high titanium regions from the eNation's control. The result of doing so will mean that eSouth Africa's economy is completely decimated. The only hope RL eSouth African's to prevent the agreement from causing continued damage to their economy will be to win the Country Presidential elections, which will be a major feat as eHungarians will be granted citizenship upon request to continue the PTO of the eNation.




Northern eAsia

Yesterday's eSerbian victories in eAsia proved to be short lived. While the eNation will continue to hold on to Eastern Siberia (as it was not not attack yesterday), they suffered losses in Western Siberia and Shaanxi to ePoland, and lost the region of Inner Mongolia to eChina.

The only battle in the Norther eAsia today (at time of publication) is a resistance war in the ePoland controlled region of Henan. The resistance war, which was launched by an eSerbian supporter, is slated to wrpa up at around 12:30 eRep time.




eIndia

At 21:00 eRep time last night, eIndia secured the former ePakistani region of Balochistan from eSerbia. The battle (which I reported on yesterday), originally started as a training war and economy booster for eIndia. However, eSerbia had never agreed to the fight, but as the eNation was stretched thin with its wars against eChina and ePoland, they were not fully able to deploy the troops necessary to hold on to the region.

As a result of its surprise success last night, eIndia's Country President – come2findu, decided to transform the training war into a real one and attacked eSerbia's only remaining region in Southwest Asia – Sindh. The battle for Sindh is slated to wrap up at 19:00 eRep time. However with few other wars involving eSerbia wrapping up today, the battle will most likely be significantly harder for eIndia to win.




eCroatia

eCroatia was victorious in it battle against eSerbia today. With capture of South Dalmatia eCroatia has recaptured all but one of its original regions; eSerbian controlled Slavonia.




eSerbia

Over the last 2 days, eSerbia has experience a major baby boom. The eNation, which has always had a large population, has added over 5,000 citizens in just 2 days, a 35% increase. This massive increase in population has moved the eNation from being the 4th largest in the New World on day 1,113 to being the largest today.

While the increase many be in part, from citizens returning from PTO missions around the eWorld, the most likely scenario for such a massive population gain is multis and Bots. I will continue to track the population boom and the admins response to it over the next week.
