Dear Belgians and others, this week, a really very interesting update on MPP situation
Last article: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2255785/1/20

MPPs graphs

In day 1998 is even lower than in 1991: 267 MPPs, 13 MPPs less than in day 1991.
The low number of MPPs is due not only to the economic crisis, but also to the recent re-arrangement of global alliances: countries, fearful to lose MPPs because of wars between their new friends vs their old friends, prefer simply not to sign too many MPPs.



On the left there are CoT (light blue), TWO (violet) countries and ex-CTRL (red) countries, with some other countries.
On the right we have EDEN (dark green) and Asgard (yellow) countries, and some others.
Ex-TERRA countries (light green) and ex-EDEN (orange) are on both sides.
The Non-Aligned Nations in brown.
7 small nations are without MPPs: United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, North Korea, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Denmark (which is in union with Germany).

Last week, CoT and TWO were easily distinguishable in the left cluster.
This week, they clearly constitute two different clusters of nations, even if with many shared MPPs.
This is also due to the CoT policy to do not sign MPPs with countries allied with Romania.

Lithuania exited CoT just yesterday and became an associate country of TWO, that's why it is currently in the CoT cluster.

Interestingly, during the peak of the CoTWO vs. EDEN war, it was CoT that was looking towards EDEN nations (because of the USA-Albianan MPP and the Russian-Asgard MPPs), but now, after the defeat of EDEN, mainly the TWO countries are benefitting from the damage of ex-EDEN countries.

In fact, there are 5 signifcant MPPs between TWO and the ex-EDEN side: 4 countries have MPPs with Romania and Hungary has a MPP with Argentina
To counterbalance there are only 2 significant MPPs linking CoT/pro-CoT to ex-EDEN: the MPPs that Croatia shares with USA and with Brazil.
Other 2 less significant (in terms of damage, not politically!) MPPs between the two sides are the US-Albanian MPP and the Irish-Russian MPP.

On the other side, the ex-EDEN cluster is even more confused after other 2 countries left EDEN (Greece and Turkey).

Three subclusters are clearly present: the Asgard cluster on the top and the NaN cluster on the bottom are now clearly separated from the center of the ex-EDEN cluster.

The ex-EDEN countries continue to share the old MPPs, but in confusion, with the CUA countries now scattered after Argentina signed MPP with Hungary and Colombia was rejected from being an associate country of TWO.
