Join the new world

Boril returned in his Q3 house after the long and busy day. He poured Rakia in his glass, till it was full and drunk it all in once. He was tired after the long day at his airplane cockpit and his tanky seat which was rusty as hell, as his ex-Embassy in Canada. On his table there were few historical maps, some drawing materials and some Peruvian and Bulgarian newspapers. Than he found this article from his own newspaper. The date of the article was Day 1206 of the New World. The story was for the Bulgarian-Canadian friendship, there were a photo of some Bulgarian girl, but the Canadian was cut by someone, maybe for his own private purposes. Votes were 150. Back then, when his newspaper eBulgaria was with almost 2000 subscribers, but then a lot of his friends died in battles almost like himself, who was badly wounded in a long state of coma and returned to life at 4275 day.So he made the decision and the phone call. It was official, he was the new/old Ambassador of eBulgaria in eCanada. So he poured to himself another full glass of Rakia and opened the lid from his rusty typewriter, he was in need of introduction...

2008
First chronicles are based on memories of AquariusSG
and Bimba, old article


When Bimba was born in Bulgaria they were around 20 people. Our country was populated with a lot of foreigners who came after their countries were conquered early or simply because they saw a good opportunity. The largest group was from eSwitzerland, which was conquered by eItaly and eFrance, but there were also people from eChina, eBrazilia, eCanada, etc. ). In the first weeks of her registration, our government was still in Bulgarian custody with BSP President Kardam2008. There were 2 more parties in the country, one of them was the newly created foreign party - the BPP and with the largest number of members. Relations between Native Bulgarians and No Bulgarian speakers (as they differed at the time) were intense.






Both groups had conflicts, disputes, quarrels, insults. the Bulgarians wanted "eBulgaria for the Bulgarians" and the immediate departure of the foreigners from the country. The press was mainly presented in English, which was one of the main problems. The foreigners wanted us to write in English, and the Bulgarians strongly supported the opposition. The non-native Bulgarians accused Kardam and his men of deliberately robbing the treasury that led to economic instability. The companies were small, the products were not enough, there were no international relations. In the next presidential and congressional elections, power was taken from the BDP and the president became Jonh Wikmot . However, the situation in the country has not changed, the crisis is everywhere, there is no money, or at least not for everyone. The foreigners had a development plan involving several companies that worked for minimum wages, and the products were sold at minimum prices, undercutting everyone else. They explained how they wanted to get everyone off cheap houses and raise their health instead of paying high wages. The activity of the Bulgarians was minimal and was exhausted in conspiracies and accusations against foreigners. The country needed an influx of new people and it was urgent, but it was not easily feasible.



At that time we had signed MPPs (which were not paid and did not expired in beta) with eRomania, eGreece, eTurkey, eCzech Republic. On the international stage, the division of forces was more equal, on the one hand, the Mediterranean Union (MA) with Italy, eSpain, eFrance in the center, the Northern Union (NA) with England, eSweden, theUs as leaders (I do not describe all member states of the unions) (you can see these alliances in the wiki). eRomania tended to the north, as did eBulgaria because of the hatred of foreigners towards Italy and eFrance. A little later, FIST, an extremely strong alliance with ePakistan and Indonesia at the helm, emerged. eBulgaria stood in conflict countries, but everyone knew which union the foreigners supported. Our President had a little dark past in eCanada, where he clearly took illegal personal gain actions while holding important posts and was not liked by many people and countries in eRepublic. This was also known here and the confidence of the Bulgarians could not be gained. Of course, in each of the two groups there were people who worked for the good of the country, or at least their thoughts were positive.



Then a light appeared in the tunnel. Everyone was trying to attract new people to the game in order to grow our economy and get back on our feet. The population boom was not too late. Imaginapolis, a person with a great contribution to eBulgaria as a whole, has posted a lot of comments in the forum of another online game - Hattrick and in no more than a week a huge group of new players have registered in eBulgaria. The day was 217 - 24.06.2008
