Colonialism - Imperialism - eRepublik - The New World
________________________________________________
Imperialism has been the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations...
Through The human history, Imperalism and Colonialism were two, if not synonymous, than for surely we can say brother words, words that changed the way of perceiving the reality. These are the words that changed the fate of the many, and absorbed the few. It is not true that if we had a second chance, we would have changed ourself, we exceeded fascism, communism, colonialism, genocide, chauvinism, anti-national movements and oppressive behaviour, the assimilation of minorities, destruction of ethnic groups, limiting the rights and totalitarianism, movements that involve, in modern perception, a critical deviation from what is called - Moral Rules of Conduct.
The New world, is like we are told, a place were democracy and state of justice are the supreme values.
But is it so?
While the New World is an experiment, we can draw conclusions about the - Human Essencee, were we see personal and group interest, in larger scale, national or quasi-international, or so called alliances.
In the next rows i will talk about the eNew Colonialism , the trends of eImperialism .
So let's analyze the modern eWorld, or the game so called eRepublik dimplomacy - maybe we should say Divide et Impera WORLD. . .
Let's see , we have 70 countries, so here begins the distinction between eColonialism and eImperialism, while eImperialism is about the direct occupation for example eTurkey conquered eUAE, eColonialism is about for example eRomania to colonize eSingapore. May be few of you know, but in eRepublik, fictional there are 70 countries, while in fact there much fewer countries, speaking simple. SO is our eNew World better than the real world, are we better than our antcestors? The answer is NO, but we will when we will recognize our true face, that we make the same mistakes, that we don't change, that it is not just a game, it is how we do in real life. . .
You would say- the game would be not interesting if there will be no war, that war is engine of the game, i do not deny, the game was made so, but it not justifies our actions. To be clear, i am not Pacifist, but it makes sence to think about it : every individual thinks about his welfare, every group of people, for example the PP's think about their welfare( for example - the biggest representativity in congress/in government) , every country thinks about it's interest - counquere other countries and take resources, every alliance think about it's interest- destroy other alliances, and as a result, each member of the alliance take something, but even here there is no ballance, the big and strong take more, the weaker "allies" take less, or don't take nothing at all, though they fought bravely. And chain continues, and has the reverse part- Alliance-Country-Group-Individual, but this is another story.
So finishing with the philosophy and starting with the study, let's analyze the next countries, but you should understtand that i am not against and i am not pacifist, also i do not critize somebody, i only note, so just some examples are representative, also we omit the whole description :
1.eSingapure
I don't blame ....
2.eNorth Korea
I don't blame ....
3.eCyprus
I don't blame ....
4.eUAE
I don't blame ....
5.eSwitzerland
I don't blame ...
6.eSouth-Africa
I don't blame ...
and so on and so on 7(eIsrael conqueres some teritories from eSA), 8(eHungary conqueres some territories from eUkraine and eRussia) ,9(ePoland conqueres half Europe) , 10 . . . whom i don't blame . . .
But , we should never forget and many should inform that the reality is not so pink as it looks like, it is cruel and you should be prepared to face it, and it doesn't matter is it World, eWorld, New eWorld, Old eWorld, Old World, 20's , 30's , 2013, or let it be a different stage of the history...
It's not about war or peace, it's about survival ...

Maybe because this eWorld isn't "real", we let us free our desires.
maybe some of us would do it in the real world if they had a chance...

Great Article !!! i loved it 🙂
There is of course a "slight" difference between Romania conquering Singapore to colonialism - The ruling countries were using those countries' resources (i.e. Bonuses), and because that territory is overseas, it means no borders of course, and that's why it means nothing in eRep to be a colonialist (But being an imperialist is).
And Hungary spreads as far as Mexico nowadays (:
well , you are right, but we should remember that there is a reverse in the theory brought by you - imperialism brings resources, colonialism brings money and medals 🙂 - let's do some math- CP -5Gold + the Medal wich is wished by all erep players 🙂 or let's say 25 CM's which is 125 gold 🙂.... But for sure , in case brought by you there is a slight difference .
V very nice article!
Great Article 🙂
