Join the new world

One of the themes that I have touched on consistently since starting this newspaper is that we must deserve victory more than our enemies. When we were reduced to just Florida things changed. Humbled to the depths we banded together. Private citizens began donating moving tickets out of the kindness of their hearts to help displaced Americans get to florida. Others donated their gold and cash to the Flying Unicorn Squadron for the same purposes. Still others reached out to new players to help them get things figured out.

The media was filled with stories of determination, hope, and inspiration. We all were thinking in the corners of our minds that the eUSA was finished, but we were all set to go down fighting. Then the forces of PEACE blinked. The size of the wall in Florida was so daunting the invaders left us an opening. Emerick tricked the Indos into closing their mpps, and we commenced with "training wars" that ended with Indonesia being pushed back to their Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Russians were the latest of our uninvited guests to leave. They did not leave quietly, they convinced Mexico to violate the spirit if not the letter of our NAP with them. Colombia was eventually evicted through RWs, and an offensive by the eUSA that was made possible by our allies in Norway and Canada blocking Hungary and Russia respectively. I suppose France deserves some mention they managed to march forward for a time going against centuries of training that made them masters of their favorite manuever: the retreat.

The last few months the eUSA has shown that they have learned many hard lessons from this war. We have learned from our enemies how to take advantage of game mechanics to turn a situation in our favor. We have also seen some rather nasty tricks by PEACE baby killing companies chief among them. It has been argued that Romania was the creater of this tactic. That may or may not be true, I am new enough that I was not playing this game during the time this filthy tactic came into being. There has been much talk of us doing the same thing to our enemies. I have been and always will be adamantly opposed to it. We must show we are better than those we struggle with. I believe we have done that. The Brolliance and EDEN have put themselves on the line time and again. The accomplishments of Spain, Canada, Greece have been inspiring and amazing. Norway risking annihilation to block Russia was gutsy. The way the other Scandanavian nations covered Norway was again a perfect example of the value of stalwart and loyal allies.

Now we have finally managed a beginning in our efforts to move the Hungarians out of North America. I have to be honest I looked at the battle two and a half hours before its close and called it another failed attempt. I am awed by the sheer amount of dedication that drove that wall down in such a small amount of time. Let us keep pressing forward and reclaim our lands and those of our brothers to the North. Canada and America should not have their lands occupied by invaders. No nation should. Let us continue in our efforts to free occupied regions and nations that PEACE has under their collective boots. Let us continue to band together and support one another.

Let us continue to DESERVE VICTORY!!
