*** For Opressed Countries Across the Globe... ***
•
by Ansen
Recently, we’ve seen a rash of articles in the media either lamenting the destruction of smaller countries such as India, and China, or begging for help in freeing oppressed countries such as Israel and Greece. Unfortunately, American leadership has been relatively quiet on these issues. As a congressman of the eUS, I want to put an end to that silence. I fully support the sovereignty of nations such as Israel, Greece, Chinia, India, and yes, Russia too, and believe that America should take a more involved role in helping those countries towards complete independence.
Some might say that this is not America’s job – we shouldn’t act like a global cop. And while I agree that we shouldn’t necessarily jump in anywhere there’s a conflict just for the sake of it, there are certain reasons that we should involve ourselves in certain conflicts.
Let’s take India/China as an example. Iran, a PEACE nation, is continually expanding its borders in Asia through imperialism – and they’re inexplicably facing little resistance from any ATLANTIS countries.
There are two great reasons why the eUS should be involved in protecting these smaller countries:
1) By not defending India/China, we are allowing nations that are hostile to the eUS (i.e. PEACE) a bigger global footprint – for FREE.
Look at an updated world map. The eUS is one of the few global powers that HASN’T stretched outside of its original borders. Some may look at that and applaud, saying that means we aren’t as imperialistic as countries like Iran, Indonesia, or Romania (others may point out that we tried to do the same thing to France, and it just turned out that we weren’t very good at imperialism). But one thing we should all agree on is that allowing the other world powers to explode geographically while we remain stagnant is bad for us in the long-run.
We have two choices then. The first choice is to start attacking weaker countries like crazy to catch up. Most Americans would shun this idea, as I do. The second and obvious choice, then, is to limit the expansion of other powers by defending the rights of smaller countries to remain sovereign.
2) Being able to fight in wars from the comfort of our own country through MPP’s is incredibly valuable for our country.
Wars in eRepublik are very different from in RL. In RL, war brings destruction and death. In eRepublik, wars actually INCREASE people’s wellness. Fighting in another country (through an MPP) allows eUS citizens to gain significantly more xp per day than during peacetime. Plus, everyone can pretty much have 100 wellness every single day (without spending anything!). Even if the battle or war is lost, the eUS has basically bought a “training ground” for eUS citizens and soldiers for the mere price of the MPP (30 gold).
It is also important to note the importance of coming to a country’s aid BEFORE they are completely wiped off the map. If they still have regions left (and have not been taken over politically), the advantage in war can tip in their favor if they can get enough MPP support. However, once a country is completely obliterated like Israel or Greece, it becomes significantly more difficult to gain their freedom. The wars must be fought from the country through resistance war – making things MUCH tougher.
We MUST use MPP’s to our advantage. Failing to do so will result in epic disasters (see: France). ATLANTIS, for example, screwed up big time in Argentina by signing a peace agreement right after we started to see success against Indonesia. By not gaining back the native Argentinean territories, we again allowed PEACE to expand its borders with no consequences.
I apologize for the length of the article – but I feel that it all needed to be said. I’ll keep my conclusion short: the eUS should grow a pair and begin to defend our ideal of freedom for all in the new world. Thinking that the fall of countries like China, India, and others doesn’t matter is extremely short-sighted, and we will pay for it in the future if we don’t do something about it in the present.

The importance of eUS geopolitical interests are slowly diminishing day by day. It is time, as you say, to grow a pair!
Russia "is" a part of peace. We'd have to go against an alliance member to restore their sovereignty and your right, it is not the U.S's job to do those things you listed
Although you advocate imperialism, you're still supporting the little countries. And for that, I congratulate you. Let's all grow a pair or three, and break PEACE.
Please support the future Chinese resistance war.
FREE RUSSIA
So-Cal have spoken
@Chisholm
Russia is certainly a much more complicated sitatuion. I think the ATLANTIS and PEACE are turning more into alliances that exist simply for the sake of having an alliance to oppose the other one rather than true idealogical reasons. But that may be a discussion for another time.
@ Modelcon
I don't advocate imperialism at all. "The first choice is to start attacking weaker countries like crazy to catch up. Most Americans would shun this idea, as I do."
Ansen-
The fact that you are advocating expansion at the expense of other, weaker countries means imperialism. Imperialism does not have to be a bad word, although my country eChina just suffered from it. But all patriots should advocate expansionism, or imperialism, to expand their border and resources.
You talk about this as an arms (land) race. Since others are taking land, why don't I. There's nothing wrong with that though.
I understand what you're saying, and agree that basically erpublik has turned into a land race between the major powers. What I mean when I say I am not advocating imperialism is that I would be more inclined to push other countries back into their borders to even things up, rather than have America take over countries to catch up.
Ansen-
Push people back to their borders? I think that is a commendable idea. How do you think we should accomplish this though? Some of the sweetest parts in this game are how you can feel good after helping your mother country triumph, and crushing another weakling.
I may seem hypocritical because this has been done to my country, and I am one of its chief spokesmen. But I try to understand the attitudes of the other side before I spit on their conquests. Remember that often used paradigm? It's always fun when it happens to others. Anyways, I seek to be more active in USA. Although I was the Vice President of China before it had its pants pulled down, I think I can do more here in America. Interested in some kind of partnership? This can go to anyone who has supported China in the past.
I agree that the idea of pushing countries like Indonesia or Iran back would not be easy now that we have let them move as far as they have.
The reason I wrote this article is to advocate what I think should be the first step - not allowing Iran, Indonesia, and others to extend their borders further. I feel that America is, at the moment, letting them roam into small countries too freely and without fear of repurcussions.
I appreciate the good dialogue with you, and I'd certainly be glad to continue it!
India is interested to get MPP with USA
srachit : are you sure ?

Ansen:
why do not siad anything about russia?
If you really want freedom, help Russia at first, then all nations can see your goodwill.
My apologies.
I have added Russia to the article. I fully support a free Russia, just as much as any other the other countries I have mentioned.
However, you say to "help Russia first, then all nations can see your goodwill." It should be noted that the eUS needs to prove nothing to a country (Iran) that has completely demolished smaller countries with no just cause, and no apparent concern.
Free Russia! Free India! Free China!
But Russia first to show our Romanian allies "F**K YOU! You can burn in HELL!"
its impossible to get mpp from peace and atlantis in the same time
and i think you read my persident letter . do you read ?
We know that but we are doing our best to strenghten our relations with those countries. and I cant keep reading the news in each and every country. May I have access to your president letter?
Don't be narrow and orange!!
