Greeling Invades Canada
Custer & Melissa Rose
Late Tuesday and well into Wednesday, US Vice President Greeling led American forces in the long awaited invasion of Canada. And although at this point it’s early in the campaign, Canadian President Rylde has already capitulated, allowing Greeling to step in as Dictator-for-Life of the newly renamed Greelinganada.
As seen in this map (below), Canadian citizens have embraced their new Dictator, renaming every province in tribute to their new leader.
Dictator Greeling promises to be a benevolent leader, allowing Greelingadians to retain their national sports of curling and penguin bowling. However, bacon will now and forever be only allowed as tasty thick strips of pork belly, and Celine Dion will be forced to relinquish her crown as Queen of Saskatchewan. Hockey has already been pwned by the Red Wings, so that’s not an issue.
Americans are urged to embrace our new subordinate Greelinadian citizens, welcoming them to shovel our sidewalks and share our dogs’ Kibbles’n’Bits. Dictator-for-life Greeling is currently working with our IES (Immigration Dept) to develop a “fast track to full citizenship” for Greelingadian babies born during and after the assimilation of regions, but all current Greelinadians are subject to arbitrary deportation to their beloved Serbia without notice.
Hail Sirius!
Hail Greelingada!
Hail Dictator-for-Life Greeling!
American Hero: emdoublegee
President Gnilraps
Today’s Hero Coin goes to NSC Deputy emdoublegee. When I called upon my staff to put their minds to the task of developing a strategy for slicing through Canada, emdoublegee answered the call with a battle plan that looked like it had been lifted from the secret filing cabinets deep in the bowels of the Pentagon. Americans will one day get to look upon his battle plans, once the war with Canada is decided, but until then America needs to know that with emdoublegee on the job in the National Security Council, our fighting forces will be well-directed. Great work emdoublegee, you are an American Hero!
War Map and Analysis

Operation Grey Cup is in full Swing.
“May eCanada’s frozen forests and fields be finally thawed by their liberation from the misguided and misaligned government which currently holds hostage the hope of true freedom.” - Gnilraps
The USA has attacked British Columbia. Do not be afraid. We will liberate our brethren in NORTH USA. She will be free from oppression once again. I commend our freedoms-loving brothers in the NORTH for fighting so hard. However, the fight for your own soul has just begun. Drop the MPP with Serbia and again know freedom and unconditional love. Good luck finding yourself.
We do not forget our allies in Europe.
1. We will continue to defend the United Kingdom, with the help of Poland and the full support of SIRIUS. The Republic of Moldova’s Airstrike into Belgium and subsequent roll into the UK could have been a surprise to some, but the United Kingdom is not afraid. Moldova has won seven battles against the UK. Can the United Kingdom make a stand in Wales? Finland has joined the party, like the big brother that overprotects her siblings (Norway and Sweden). And She will taste the cold steel of SIRIUS, as we repel all invaders to the Great Isles.
2. Hungary continues to cut her way across Europe, marring her landscape with baby-sh** green. Eventually she will make a mistake and attack one of our allies, who will cut her down. It’s interesting to see Hungary doing a lot of the heavy lifting for ASTERIA. Serbia sits back and contemplates her next move, while working on Croatia. I must ask, though. How gratifying can it be to continuously beat up on Italy. What did they ever do to you?
3. The USA and Spain continue to delete France from the map. The United States has won sixteen battles in the war and is about to attack. Spain has won two battles and looks to win Limousin, easily. Your liberation is coming, France.
ASTERIA has marched heavily upon the United Kingdom, but she will not fall. As we see Hungary continue to cut across Europe, where will she end up? Who will she attack? Serbia will look to slowly regain regions, as Croatia has been eliminated once again. But Croatia will be back. She will continue to RW regions, and be a thorn in Serbia and Slovenia’s sides, until the end of time. It’s good to see Albania and BiH sitting in front of Serbia, but how long will Serbia focus her gaze elsewhere?
Eventually, ASTERIA will turn their gaze from the United Kingdom, and the European map will change. Until then, we shouldn’t see too many changes.
Update on Operation Grey Cup
President Gnilraps
As previously announced, eUSA launched an offensive against the snow-bound northern territories which are known to some as "Canada". The first battle of the war took place over the course of Tuesday-Wednesday. The territory where war was waged is called "Snow-Covered-British-Columbia", sometimes just referred to as "British Columbia" or "One of those big empty lego-shaped boxey looking blocks of ice to our north".
The fighting was quite fierce throughout. The Snow-people called on their new-found accomplices in LETO and Asteria. eUSA eventually also looked to Sirius for help. As the battles unfolded, it became clear that this was going to be a statement win for somebody. In eRepublik terms, the battle qualified as "epic" and so received the appropriate badge on the wars page.
After building a 66-33 lead, Snowlandia began to look like the big winner for the day. It seemed that they would finally have an actual battlefield victory to match the din of their media and shout-feed trolling.
But the brave tanks of eUSA and Sirius rolled in and put a freeze on the misplaced hopes of those who eat snow and wear snow on their heads for entertainment. The military campaign was turned and America was victorious.
And so on this day, across the glaciers and frost of British Columbia, the fighting forces of Sirius prevailed against evil and snow. Or I suppose it's kind of redundant to say "evil and snow", but whatever.
On a more serious note, it should also be mentioned that the loss of Baja was a planned loss. its determination had reached the point at which it needed to be returned to Mexico. Plans are already in place for its recovery.
Media on Media
Custer and Melissa Rose
Most Cabinet level Departments run their own newspapers, or their Secretaries run the Department publications from their own paper. The WHPR and most Government newspapers have, at the bottom of each edition, for your convenience, a standardized set of links.
President Gnilraps and Chief of Staff TellUrGrlThx have lit a fire under all Department Secretaries to increase their media presence. Some Departments, like Interior and Education, run contests, others simply publish with frequent updates and information useful to both new and old players.
Additionally, you’ll find links to our sister publication, Recommended Reading (published twice weekly), the Dept of Defense Orders (daily), and the President’s own newspaper.
Did you know that Congress has a newspaper? The Speaker’s Word is the place to get a weekly rundown of Congressional activity-- way easier than trying to keep up in their own Public Forum.
And speaking of forums, the eUS Forums has sections for most Top Five political Parties and several Military Units, as well as Congress, general eRep chat, and even games!
Your eUS Government is here to serve you, and two important ways we do that is by keeping you informed and engaged. If you ever want to know, “what’s going on in the Dept of Interior,” they’re just a click away. Don’t have the DoD Orders bookmarked? We’ve got your back, brother, just click on the icon and see where we’re fighting today. Want to know what the President has to say? Well, he wants you to see it, too, and he’s just a click away.
For all that eRepublik is and isn’t, the Media module still works-- as well as you work it. Stay informed. Be engaged. The easiest way to get more Greeling in your life is to read all the eUS Government newspapers!

Hail Greelingada
lotta fun working on this edition.. like the old days!
You're the only reason I read it.
Yes, greeling was terribly crucial in that battle. Definitely there all day in the war room.
Some say we each have a little bit of greeling inside of us.
From what I hear greeling prefers others inside him.
Maybe he's "versatile".

AMERICA IS GLORIOUS, SIRIUS VICTORIOUS!
RULE BRITANNIA! BRITANNIA RULE THE WAVES! BRITONS NEVER WILL BE SLAVES!
Don't forget about your losses in the RW.
Japan, Baja and in France.
You might won the MPP war, but you lost all others.
Portuguese can't read. Baja was planned. France and Japan are secondary distractions to the real war.
I read the part where Baja was planned.
France can't be hardly called a distraction, you will see 😃
INSURGIO~
COURAGE AND HONOUR!!!

SHIELDS UP!
Welcome to "Murica, Greelinadians

Real Americans wouldn't support Poland's puppet, aka Gnaps
Lolwut
Gnil is my puppet
GREELING FOR ALL
Interesting - the loss of the 10/10 resource bonus was a "planned loss." Gaining one region and losing 7 is "victory," Unprovoked aggression/oppression is "liberation." Someone has been reading his Orwell, but I'm not sure he picked up on the intended message.
Planned losses occur all the time. Ever since determination was introduced. Gaining one region we REALLY want and gaining back the other lost regions afterwards is a victory. Unprovoked? So MPPing our eternal enemy despite it posing a serious threat to our borders is not a provocation? Even if it's not intentional, it's still a provocation.
Apparently you're not all this thick.

We accept dissenting viewpoints. We are ready to negotiate to get out of your land so long as certain conditions are met. Frankly, a NAP is agreeable to me, so long as we have proper leverage during the negotiations and both sides are open to compromise. However, a must have would be that Canada does not invade the eUSA or promote an invasion of eUSA when voting in LETO.
Our only gripe is having an impulsive enemy on our border. That's it. Get rid of that and there are no reasons to invade.
I can just feel the butthurt oozing from each and every one of you Greelingadians who post here - it's splendid! Though, I pray that we didn't hurt you too bad. It'd be a shame to have to take it easy on you...
"...its determination had reached the point at which it needed to be returned to Mexico." That really shouldn't require any elaboration...
Also, letting Japan go had been announced days ago in a previous address. Old news...
YAY SPIN! You people are hilarious. The brainwashing program has been so very thorough!
ahh, and such is the nature of media (propaganda)..
According to your map, you'll let us keep New Brunswick and PEI?
FIST
Very happy to see the WHPR return in Gnil's term.
❤ Custer & MR
God all the spinning in this article is making me sick.
This war with Canada is pure BS.
Being proud of marching through France, yeah that was a real challenge.
Oh and yeah the old Baja was planned, yeah that's the ticket.
And it seems these coins will be handed out like candy.
Yup great stuff, keep on spinning.
U mad bro?
Nope not in the least.
Good to see some nice writing back in the WHPR. Lets make Gnilraps POTUS4LIFE
Nice article! And thanks for the coin!
