Lesson from the past - how to know your politicians are tools of other country?
Jozef Danko
Dear readers,
I would like to present you one old screenshot. It is from beginning of october 2019. If I am not wrong, it was quite soon after I have returned back and started playing this game again. Real life Slovaks were minority in our own country and had no word about anything. And now, promised map:
What do we see here? Bratislava was recently conquered by Slovenia 🇸🇮
. I had basically zero knowledge about international policy then, I just understood, that this was against wish of our government. So far so good, Slovenia 🇸🇮
was much stronger and our government maybe had no way to stop them.
Slovakia 🇸🇰
controls only one province - Central Slovakia. Eastern Slovakia is under control of Brazil 🇧🇷
. We had training war with them. But as our citiziens from real life Hungary 🇭🇺
are unaware about returning taxes during friendly occupation, they were there probably for free. So basically, our taxpayers money went to the other side of Atlantic ocean.
Remaining core province is Western Slovakia. Who controls it? Yes, it is Poland 🇵🇱
. Why is Poland there? They are certainly not shielding us from Slovenia 🇸🇮
. The only possible explanation I can find is - they are here, because Hungary 🇭🇺
can have TW with them. Why to care about Slovakia 🇸🇰
? Why to bother finding someone, from whose presence can Slovakia 🇸🇰
also benefit? And I am probably not wrong thinking, that taxes were not returned.
If I am wrong, who can correct me? And yes, if I am wrong, I will be happy to be corrected, although it is quite an old history, so maybe noone remembers. And who has been ruling us then? We had new president Bosszuallo. He was just a day ot two in office when I took this screenshot, so he was certainly not able to change much. He got this situation from his predecessor, DNSke. Maybe, he could bring some memories? But still, this was his only presidential term, so maybe he just went for medal and rulling person was someone else...
Hopefuly, there are some real life Hungarians in Slovakia 🇸🇰
that dislike the idea we should be just a puppet of Hungary 🇭🇺
and do whatever please our southern neighbor. We need to build independend country that will decide her future without orders from any other country. If people from other countries can live here and make Slovakia 🇸🇰
a better place to live, they are welcome. But if someone is here just to help other country, he should move to the country where his loyalty belongs.

Slovakia should be independent country
Yep, without Legends of NOTSlovakia characters!
A lot of us are working for this, it has brought together a great community!

The Hungarian population in Slovakia gave their blessing for the country to be neutral.
However, we did not take kindly to the infiltration of foreign characters into our beloved country from January 2024.
Legends of Serbia, Legends of Bulgaria, for example, who had previously dealt HUGE damage against Slovakia.
And also Croatian traitorous characters that I mentioned in an earlier article:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/memories-from-the-past-we-don-t-forget-2777787/1/20
Then came the various rules brought in by Nathan5, what is who is entering "our holy slovak air space and will be shot down as anyone else".
I didn't agree with that very much, but I decided to do it together then.
Article about this:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/changes-to-the-slovak-hero-rules-part-ii-2778282
And later these Legends of NOTSlovakia characters turned against the beloved community members. That's what my next article was about:
https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/i-have-received-an-invitation-2778202
That is the real, sad story what is happening in Slovakia now. 🙁
This is a game. If someone have been playing for other country, he tried his best for that country. When he got bored or found motivation to play for different country and wants good for that one, he can do it. There is nothing wrong about it.
This article is about play style, when someone is playing for a country, but not the way to help her, but to help another country. When he uses country he represents just as a tool.
i dont think any one will remember in detail what happened more than 4 years ago. I checked hungarian bulletin and war orders around that time. Poland and Brazil seems like train war (possibly blocking from Romania?). As i understood for Slovenia there was kind of an agreement between Hungary and Slovenia that they take the region for dm decreasing. Many slovak players had companies in Bratislava (and also hungarian, as it had food bonus), so maybe thats why govt was not happy, but I’m just guessing.
You may also check Polands ministerstwo-obrony, or Slovenian, Brazil press for information
Of course, I do not expect for someone to remember details about situation few years ago. It is also quite sad that this game does not make its history accessible a better way äas for example good access to history of wars, or history of province control).
With Brazil, we had TW then. Its not problem, if we dont mind taxes. Also, Slovenia. This is not a main topic for this article. But Poland is. Slovakia does not need to give them a province to have TW with them. Hungary needs this. Presence of Poland in our cores is not good for Slovakia in any way (except if they would block someone else, but this would not be the case here) with the exception they would compensate us with so much money that it would make no sense for them, with the exception of just moving through our territory.
