Day 1,307, 21:34 • Published in USA USA

Well the time has come. The time for all of us to come together and fight as a single Nation, America. However, the scale of the invasion we are currently facing is of an even greater magnitude than most of us have ever faced before. So let me go through and explain the scale of this invasion, and what we can do to snuff it.

Here we have the current eUS:

As you can see, we have Spain taking up the majority of the US' occupied territory, with Hungary and Poland making landfall in the eUS today as well. Now, I hate to say I told you so, so I won't, because I know for a fact that it isn't our fault. We couldn't have taken back every occupied region in the eUS occupied by Spain quick enough to be able to hold off Hungary or Poland even with this new method of healing every 6 hours. But that still doesn't make this problem any less real, or does it help us keep this invasion under control.

My previous solution of distracting Spain from the Canary Islands will no longer work as we now have two other countries to contend with as well. Now that Hungary and Poland have broken through France, they should be able to reclaim their lost regions while Poland and Hungary are busy in the eUS. I know I speak for many when I say that we are grateful for France's attempt at holding off the foreign invaders. However, the countries are still in the US, and we'll need to face them, or risk being cut off to only a single region as we once were. So what do we do now?

The Hydra:
Well for start, we need cut off one of the three heads of the Hydra. Whether it be Poland or Hungary, reclaiming their sole region in the US will make it much easier for us to take control of the situation, and make it harder for the country we attacked to make landfall in the eUS again. However, this will not solve the problem, seeing as how Poland and Hungary will surely attempt to attack again, no doubt much more vigorously than before, explaining my reference to the Hydra. So attacking only one of these countries at a time will not solve anything. However the combined populations of these countries far outweigh the population of the US alone and I'm sure they are all cooperating with one another in order to assure maximum damage. But shouldn't the US be fighting as one too? Aren't we supposed to be one of the strongest countries in the world? Yes. However, the eUS is still not completely unified as one, meaning that our attack power is split up, making it not as effective as it could be. But the US isn't fighting alone right? We have allies that are supposed to help us in our times of need, just as we have fought for them in the past, and they should be fighting for the eUS, right? We'll see.

Our allies:

Many of our allies are currently preoccupied with invasions of their own, and are surely expecting their allies to help them in some way, so obviously can't help the eUS in this time of need. You'll see what I mean.

eGermany:

Probably one of the most oppressed nations in eRepublik, they have been very preoccupied as of late.

eRussia:

Facing an occupation by both Turkey and Lithuania, they have an invasion of their own to fight for.

eCanada:

Our bros up in Canada have been facing invasion by Sweden, and have been doing a fine job of it if you ask me.

eFrance:

Sadly now completely engulfed by Poland and Hungary, eFrance could use some help of their own if you ask me.

eJapan:

China's been bugging them lately, and they've been pusing them back as best as possible.

Which brings us to eBrazil, eChile, and eArgentina. Besides the occasional jab from the South Pacific, none of these countries are under invasion, meaning that only three out of the ten current terra nations are not being occupied by serious foreign threats. Now, I didn't include the numerous EDEN nations I could have, because we aren't technically in the same alliance as they are, and we can't expect help from other countries which are surely facing problems of their own.

The conclusion:
Well, as for our allies, I would say they're relatively tied up for the time being, which leads us to the point where we started off, facing an invasion from three different countries, and with no clear end in sight. But I usually like to end my articles with a solution, so here it is. I'm sure you've seen countless shouts and articles about how we all need to unify as a nation, and fight as one. But the fact of the matter is, those shouts and articles are right. Without our allies, all we have is the fighting power of the US and the US alone, meaning that we need all the unification we can get. However, raw brute force isn't going to cut it. We need to bring the strategy back to this strategy game. No more wasting all of our attack power on a single fight, we need to spread out all our attack power on fights that actually mean something, as well as take advantage of the new 6 hour healing methods for maximum damage. These methods combined together should be able to help, if not halt the invasion. But eAmericans need to remember one word;
Unification.
