I think this is the right time to tell you all something about me, because I understand that there are a lot of people who don't really know me at all. Which I cannot blame on anyone but myself as I have been away for a while, for good reasons though as I graduated from school and am moving on to university starting this September. Even if you don't care to know a little about me, just read it as it has some history about our great nation in it too!

So who am I? First of all to everyone who has been thinking about my real life nationality, I'm Dutch (explains the NL at the end of my nick) and for that reason I started in Holland back in the eRep Beta days which really is a while back, more than 3 years back now actually. In those days this game was pretty small, I believe there weren't even 10.000 registered users back in the day but well it was of course still a Beta and you had to get in through an inviting system. Thankfully I knew some people from another game who got in and they sent me an invite to join. So that's when I set my first steps in the New World and met some great people. In those days I've worked together with what I think are still some of the best politicians ever and its sad that they all quit now. To skip some boring stuff, I'll make a jump into the future, into v1 to be exact. An update that did and did not live up to my expectations. A lot of things improved, but as we do know now, but didn't really realize yet back then, the Admins can act like complete donkeys sometimes doing stupid stuff and they did that back then. But well as we never had any real influence on them, we just kept on going like in real life you can't really influence your government..

But slowly, my days in Holland were coming to an end and I suddenly realized that the time was right to move on. So I decided to leave my country and to look abroad to see what's happening. After a few pretty pointless weeks I got a message from a friend, Dionysus, who told me that he joined a country that had just been released from the Pakistani Dioists back when Dio Brando was a big guy. And he asked me if I was interested in joining him to build up the country from scratch. That country, was India. And because I was up for a challenge, I decided to join him and quickly met Srachit, the first RL Indian I met in this game. Together, the three of us decided to start the first real eIndian party, called India First. After we beat the Italian and Spanish who tried to colonize this country we started working on a very long story that is still going on right as we speak. India slowly regained its regions and the numbers grew, more RL eIndians joined together with others who had the best interest in our country. The days of Indonesian occupation joined and we met some noobs like Ashwamedh and Shailesh, from whom we didn't know yet that they were to be some of the greatest eIndians in history. We fought our way through occupation and battles, lost all our regions but took them back, fought people who tried to take over our parties and the presidential seat and meanwhile our community kept groing and people developed real friendship and we know that we all had eachothers backs as we were here with one single goal: Making eIndia a great and glorious nation in this game.

And even though I have left this country for a (RL) break sometimes, I always knew in my heart that I would come back for it as I'm sure we haven't seen our best days yet! And I don't want to lose my title of oldest eIndian of course 😁
