[UK GOV] UK – Alliances and our status
Foreign Office
In the last couple of days we have seen propaganda from Teden Trolls and some new citizens claiming that leaving ONE is the best the solution for UK.
Foreign Office decided to write an article explaining differents alliances and current UK status
First of all : what is an alliance in Erepublik ?
An alliance is a group of countries who have formed a military alliance with each other to offer each other protection.
What are the advantages of being in an alliance ?
If you remain neutral or without friends , the day another country (with its allies) decides to attack you ,I hope that you will have enough tissues to cry about your lot.
So, being in an alliance will give you the help of countries who are allied with your country. In cases when you are invaded they can directly help you.
Another advantage is that you receive help from all the armed forces of a country : which means the national army and other military units.
What are the disadvantages of being in an alliance ?
None would be a false answer, however the benefits far outweigh the costs. But in an alliance you are not the only country there. If another country needs help against an opponent, your country may have a lower priority
What are the current alliances ?
I will begin with the oldest one : EDEN
EDEN was formed almost 2 years and half ago.
EDEN means Erepublik Defence & Economy Network
This alliance mostly contains countries who had Anti PEACE (and Phoenix) sentiments.
They were involved in several attacks against the United Kingdom. The UK considers them as enemies.
Major members of EDEN include : Croatia – Romania – Bulgaria – Greece – China – Canada – Finland
Recently, EDEN created a junior alliance composed of Netherlands – India – Albania, known as the Garden of EDEN. (GEA)
2 Months ago : Portugal (a former friend of UK and member of PEACE and Phoenix) joined EDEN.
Currently : they have several problems, Turkey (who defected to EDEN) have tried to join them. However, Bulgaria has floated its veto causing a lot of problems.
Terra
No acronym for this alliance.
The alliance was created late of 2010 after the fall of Phoenix.
At the beginning, their name was Panam and they were composed by Usa – Brazil (who left Phoenix) – Argentina (who left Phoenix too) to create an alliance mainly located in America.
At that time, USA feared to be invaded tried to recruit some countries to protect them. They found some cannon fodder called France – United Kingdom – Germany – Japan.
Countries like Russia and Chile followed USA and of course like a 51st state : Canada joined this alliance..
This alliance works with Eden which means that Eden and Terra countries must be friends.
However 2 or 3 months after joining them : United Kingdom realized that Terra wasn't for good for the country.
Even in different alliances, we were forced to be friends with Ireland which was almost impossible. Others countries could change their regions (USA offered some resources to Canada, ...) but United Kingdom can't. When we decided to have fruits to Ireland. USA preferred to help a country who wasn't in the alliance (Ireland) than one who was with them.
On the same time, the UK had a deal with Serbia and even if Terra said that they respected it : USA and Croatia made their best to kill it (the deal gave 2 UK regions to Serbia in exchange of 250G per month + a free MPP (who cost 100G at that time))
Last thing about Terra : They work actively With Eden
ONE
Which means Order of New Eworld
The alliance was created on the beginning of 2011 when Poland began to have better relations with Hungary. Even if these 2 countries are near in real life, they were opposed in erepublik.
Following that, Hungary and Poland had the desire to invade an EDEN country, Romania.
After the fall of Phoenix, Serbia decided to join this new block and they were followed by Spain (who left EDEN for ONE).
A few weeks later : Republic of Macedonia and Sweden joined them and ONE was officially created.
Around ONE, there were a lot of countries who were (and are) considered as Pro-ONE like Indonesia – Slovenia – Iran – Slovakia ... and United Kingdom
After leaving Terra, UK began to be a pro-ONE country by signing MPPs with their old friends like Serbia – Slovenia – Indonesia – Macedonia, ...
With diplomacy, problems with old enemies like Poland and Spain were resolved and they became friends of the UK.
On November 2011 : Indonesia was the 7th country to join ONE and some weeks after 3 new countries joined the alliance : United Kingdom – Slovenia – Iran
ABC
Which stands for Alliance of Baltic Countries
This alliance was created in April 2011 and is composed of 3 countries : Lithuania – Estonia – Latvia.
It is a regional alliance and even if they are not in ONE, they are considered as Pro-ONE countries. They are also friends of United Kingdom
EPIC
Which stands for Erepublik Partnership of Interdependent Countries
This alliance was created last week and they are composed of Mexico – Montenegro – Slovakia (CSFR) – New Zealand – Pakistan – South Korea – Thailand – Venezuela – Peru – Paraguay and United Arab Emirates
These countries are not the biggest but they preferred to built an alliance against the tyranny of Terra and Eden. Even if they are not officially Pro-One : They prefer to sign MPPs with ONE countries than being Terra and Eden slaves. United Kingdom has MPPs with several of these countries (Like New Zealand – Montenegro and Slovakia)
Before finish this article, I will talk about the UK’s Status
Currently, we are in ONE, and the current government has no intention in leaving this alliance. Even if sometimes, we need more help , which we received from them when we tried to have a congress, we received support for our plans, but like I said, we are not alone in an alliance. Other ONE countries need help too.
When we were invaded by Terra and Eden forces : we were invaded on 3 fronts at the same time and even for a big country like Serbia or Poland, it is very hard to win all those battles.
Even if it will not be easy to have our all of our regions back our chances without ONE are near 0%
Joining Terra and Eden are impossible for UK : Our enemies are there. Joining an alliance means that every country of this alliance must accept us.
Eden : We have problems with Croatia – Ireland – Canada
Terra : We have problems with USA – Canada – France – Germany
Thinking that joining another alliance will give us back our regions is an error.
Due to real life issues, Ireland thinks that Northern Ireland is one of their original regions (they wrote to admin about that). It is a main source of our problem with them. They always blame the UK for the conflict but their congress wants war with us
Canada : They want a route to oil, preferring to invade UK via the following route : Wales – West Midlands – East Midlands to have it than rent Alaska from the USA. Always good to attack UK when we sleep but it is unfair if we attack when they sleep.
France : they need Aluminium, Cattle and Oil, that's why they have 3 UK regions (including London). Like Canada, they prefer to keep London than renting an Aluminium region from Germany. Former friends who drank Terra and Eden Propaganda. Recently they decided to consider South of England as French Territories and rename London. After betraying the UK, they decided to invade us. Our current conflict is unlikely to be solved through diplomacy in the near future.

true story article
good article voted
Read very much like a poor piece of propaganda imo.
Wow, it's a sad day when this is the best the UK can do for propaganda.
LOL
"In the last couple of days we have seen propaganda from Teden Trolls and some new citizens claiming that leaving ONE is the best the solution for UK."
It is not just New Citizens and ONE TEDEN TROLL who is talking about leaving ONE. It is the entire UKPP (who won 30% of the popular vote in the CP election)

The thing is Nick if we leave ONE our only chance would be to join EPIC and even then will be in the exact same situation also what a lot of new players don't understand is that the UK was treated really badly when we were in TERRA, they didn't care about us. So after that the goverment mostly let the people decide wether to stay in TERRA or to leave TERRA and join ONE. As it turns out most people in the country wanted to join ONE at the time. Also think about it TERRA won't let us join back if we leave ONE
ONE will be glad to send some spare damage as soon as serbia/poland have regained 100/100 bonuses. Real countries must recieve the highest priority first followed by countries in a strategic position. But don't worry UK is definately in the top 30.
good article
This is why UKP(BN)P should never get CP!
"Due to real life issues, Ireland thinks that Northern Ireland is one of their original regions (they wrote to admin about that)."
How pathetic can you get...
its why communists should shut up beofre i shoot them
"Due to real life issues, Ireland thinks that Northern Ireland is one of their original regions (they wrote to admin about that)."
Such rubbish. You may think we have an obsession, but thats entirely your own bloody paranoia - Northern Ireland has a bonus which eIreland doesn't have, its about as important to us as Louth is to you. Recent survey in eIrish media showed that majority of eIrish believe NI is rightful eUK region but a natural target for us.
Drop the bull, attempting to blanket your population by working on their prejudice.
Click on this article saw a headless chick and then remembered it was a government article
sorry to see that a noob is writing articles from this org
When the trolls increase in number, ONE knows the tide is turning.
Hail ONE \o/
Hail eUK \o/
( lol @ eIrish writing to the admins about Northern Ireland xD )
ouais en gros vous vous entendez avec personne mais c'est les autres les méchants😁
>imply that an EDEN "troll" (me) was the only one who supported UK leaving ONE
>feels the need to release 2 official Govt articles that are packed FULL of complete and utter lies, to try deal with the problem of people having a different opinion than you on the issue of UK being abandoned by ONE
I lol'd
@Seanan: Why then did Ireland attack Northern Ireland so many times before it had fruit, or anything else useful to you - remember attacking your ally Norway for it? Why else does the last Irish president of Ireland have this as his newspaper pic? http://static.erepublik.com/uploads/avatars/Newspapers/2010/05/03/2f34ba4557d7ce159be01add8177e144_55x55.jpg
You are clearly much more obsessed with N Ireland than we are with Louth. I'm not saying you all are, but a significant number of you are happy to go along with it.
no worries I figured out your alliance problems for you http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/fail-new-alliance-emerges-1967874/1/20
Northern Ireland is one of only 2 UK regions that Ireland naturally borders.
Everyone else that Ireland borders has the same MPPs we do, so ofc NI will be the most regularly attacked region, even if it didn't give a bonus(which it does) please stop being so retarded about it for once.
Ireland were not allied to Norway at the time it attacked NI(more lies you just can't seem to stop).
Ireland were in fact allied to the UK and many Irish fighters fought to help you when EDEN invaded you in retaliation for the worst backstabbing act in the history of erep(which let's face it, is the reason you are the most hated group in this game) Ireland took NI for a bit of fun and training to relieve boredom and you butts got butthurt about it and tore up Raleigh like a bunch of lil bitches. You obviously weren't able to take your frustration out on anyone else you bordered because they were to strong for you, so you decided to use Ireland as a scapegoat for the EDEN invasion.
As for the rl images of ex-CPs etc- It really pisses you off and other fools like you, so that is as good a reason as any to use them : )
Not like your leading players don't often make reference to the rl Irish famine for the sake of trolling, or references to the "Empire" that "a significant number of you are happy to go along with" as a role-playing method of keeping newbs interested. The difference is, we don't constantly cry like a lil bitch about it like you do. Fag.
Imperium!
We do not cry, we fight the eIrish occupation. Hail King Woldy!
@irishbhoy1967
U mad bro?
@Wanker
Yes, Delicious British tears make me so mad bro.
They prefer to sign MPPs with ONE countries than being Terra and Eden slaves.
LOL

This used to be a serious paper, when did it become comic political satire?
Sorry to see the eUK is still butthurt about being known as the US's lapdog in RL (and then they whine about Ireland bringing RL into the game)
EPIC FAIL
FAIL ONE
HAIL TEDEN
ABC IS DEFUCT
You know, I find it incredibly funny when I read this:
''After betraying the UK, they decided to invade us.''
Regarding France, you guys basicly let them down so many times...
And I'm not even talking about the fact you guys are laballed the flip flopper of erep, having switched side and betrayed allies on countless occasion.
But meh, I guess it was too hard to include a little part about it right?
This is, by far, the dumbest thing I have ever read in this game...ever.
The root of this problem is the failure to understand that PEACE and PHOENIX are long dead. Every alliance has its own issues, but ask yourself, which alliance will serve our best interests while inspiring us to a great cause?
Alliances shift, friends change. Hang with people you who's goals you can identify with or stand alone - but do not force yourself into a relationship with people you have no common cause with... you will come short.
good article
