Hello respected citizens of France,

It's been a long time since our Training war was closed. It's also been long time since we fought side to side against CODE as Hydra. It seems like a lot of things have changed ever since.

I didn't quite have the time to write much on this topic, covered a bit in my previous article. Let's continue where I stopped and bring things from a different perspective, from a view that was there.

The alliance Hydra was working great. We had a very good communication, we were planning and making strategies every day. Everybody had his right to express his thoughts, openly say who he wants to fight, or who he wants to dodge. We were working on mutual programs, talking about new members and most of all having fun. Nobody can deny the fact that in that war we all tried, and that each one of us gave it's maximum. I personally remember not having enough EBs nor gold to use my stingers in that air round vs Croatia, but I never regretted it. We didn't stop war until you decided it's enough, and the reason you decided so was:

"We are tired of the war, our resources dropped low. Despite trying, we don't achieve much. Asteria isn't helping as we expect and we don't see any other solution but the NAP. We are also working on a babyboom that can't be done without regions"

Enough for all to agree to let France sign a NAP excluding other members of Hydra. This is where the problems for us became even larger. We lost 1 more country for a certain period of time.

Nobody expected us to lose so badly but it happened. We were demoralized but we still had hopes and we decided that whatever happens we won't sign a NAP. The alliance chat was still there, a bit less active since there was not much things to be done but gain resources. I joined Asterian chats and started working with them to find a mutual way to get out of the problematic situation. Then a random ban on my hit account occurred for a banal reason.
I was so angry that I left all chats and decided it's time for a break from the game until things get sorted out. Few days or a week later I came back and I heard that France proposed to leave the alliance. I entered the alliance chat and didn't see anyhing else but a message from Ali saying:

"We are gonna let our people decide our faith"

Dear Ali, You call yourself a leader, but when a problem appears, first thing you do is run from it? You know that France, was not a random member of Hydra, but it's founder. Why didn't you say in the HQ that you are feeling a problem? You sold yourself way too cheap to a guy that helped steal 12 millions 8 millions of cc(https://prnt.sc/qg20h5) from your national bank, just few years ago. When I put this together, I wonder if he shared the goodies with you. You like proCODE, that's ok, but do you think, after what you have done as a leader of Hydra, have what it takes to take France into another journey? Maybe stick to the battlefield and let politics to others. We can't all be unicorns, some have to pull the cart.

I can't describe how surprised I was when I read in his article that the reasons for the departure are inactivity and Macedonia not having representative on the chat for few days. You didn't ask your comrades a single time if they needed help. What were you busy with during those times? Channels with CODE, perhaps?
If that's a leader France shall have, that's the chaos France deserves.


Moving on. Recently our friend Spain was under attack by CODE, after answering negative to their threats. CODE has threatened Spain that they will wipe them if they helped Portugal escaping from the occupation. After rejecting their offensive proposal, they sent the laws and wiped Spain. Attempts to save Spain were made but Asteria was kicked out of Spain very fast and only hostile occupation was left for Spain and Portugal. What is interesting about this war is that Croatia used the borders from France to enter Spain.

One small community was also wiped because they tried to help Portugal, but luckily a peaceful deal was made and Cuba got it's cores free. Read more about how CODE makes deals with smaller communities here:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-tr-mofa-peace-treaty-between-eturkey-and-ecuba-en-tr--2706337

The true alliance of solidarity, the white knights once again showing respect towards smaller nations.

French president during the war was no other but NoName. He showed his neutral diplomacy by letting CODE attack Spain from your cores, disrespecting the deal, but that's not all. As a true neutral player decided to attack Spain in the same time with CODE and take one of their regions. Won't spend much time writing about a psychopath that threatened the players from French opposition by sending their real life names and images on French channels on discord. One can't go lower than that.
I will just add that the problem he has with Macedonia is personal, and dating from long time ago.

Finally, current situation, war with Croatia and occupation of Aquitaine.

As I have said in my article I have no interest in harming France, I still believe that French people can become victorious and get rid of the incapable proCODE players that share propaganda with their multies.

In the previous year we have been wiped by CODE and they didn't let us go anywhere. 7 Airstrikes were sent on us, by Croatia alone, to remove us from any country that we went to for a training war. They have also sent a clear message to all neutrals that they will wipe them if they host us for certain time in their cores. We lost a lot of players, that now, after putting a lot of effort finally came back and are very hungry.

Our operation started from Italy and continued to Spain. After kicking Turkey and Greece, Croatia held last 3 regions of Spain: 1 under a RW from Spain, 1 under attack from Macedonia. After winning both regions, 1 region was left where Spain started resistance war to fight the occupier. In the same time Croatia had a TW with France on the Spanish border. Day before losing these 3 regions, Croatia had a chance to move north or swap with any neutral, but instead they wanted to take Aquitaine for obvious reason: proCODE minority of France to start with the cheap propaganda and blame Macedonia for attacking it. We had no other choice but to attack. Croatia is a strong opponent, with 3 times more packers. I had to attack when everyone was online.

I have contacted French CP for a TW, but he refused saying you have too many countries on your soil. I received a message not to attack Croatia, but there was no other choice. You have brought them on our border and only escape was letting my attack go on auto and attack after midnight when all are sleeping. After taking Aquitaine I contacted French CP for a training war again, offered to return taxes and even pay rent. The message I got from him is very questionable.




First thing unclear: What are proAsteria neutrals? You can't be neutral if you have desires towards one side. If such thing exists, is France proCODE neutral, or proAsteria neutral?
I didn't respect France? You didn't respect neither Spain or Macedonia. You decided to keep Croatia on a border with us even in times we had open war with them! Is this lack of diplomacy, or just another way to increase the proCODE propaganda?
You won't consult your congress? OK let me consult with your congress publicly. Dear respected congress of eFrance, do you find Macedonian attack of Croatia, after all things cleared, as a harm to your country? If you do, please mention what exactly was harmed by it? Why didn't you ask your CP to move the TW towards North or West of the country and erase the border?

With this I will end my article. Aquitaine will be freed with the first resistance war available and the taxes collected will be donated in the French treasury. I can openly say that I'm very disappointed from the French leaders in the recent period, and lack of information in your media about what is happening. Remove the blindfold from your eyes and start playing. Don't let personal wishes and desires of certain incapable players decide your future. This is a team game, and your voice shall be heard.

Merry Christmas France!

With love from the emperor,
