One of the most stable country - eSpain
Hillary Clinton1
Hello everyone,
Today i bring u an interview with the president of eSpain - Li Shaoran, it took few days to make this interview cuz we didnt had alot time but we succeed make it. Spain is one of the most stable country in the game the last occupation was more than 200 days.
I really hope u will like it, Enjoy!
1. Hello Mr. President - Li Shaoran, thank you for agree to make this interview with me, would u agree at first to introduce yourself?
Hello everyone!
I'm Li Shaoran, player of eRepublik since the end of 2009. I lived the V1 and will continue to criticize Alexis for life for the damage he did to the game since the end of V2.
I have dedicated the whole eLife to social issues: Creating collaborative newspapers, online radio, education and social projects... Then I focused a bit on the organized military, until the traditional joint effort lost all reason for being for the PayPerWin.
Since then, I have survived roughly in eR, with small bursts of activity. I was president a few months ago, and I was retired from active life. Until this month I have been chosen by force... In a strange way xD
2. What u love the most about eRep?
I especially loved the idea of a simulated society, with all the complexity. The political currents, the varied journalism, the history created from scratch with its epic battles (Hellokitty, RA, PARIS!) and great strategies...
The politics beyond the game, the social beyond the game, the friendships that I have made.
eRepublik was a great game. And the people. From what is currently... A forum that barely survives, playing farmville with TW everywhere and all of us staying just to see how this world ends...
3. Can u tell us about ur daily job as the president of eSpain?
Open training battle in the morning first thing. Open battle of training at the time of the Spanish lunch. Make a meeting to fight together, with citizens and military forces, at night. That is sadly everything. Nothing to do with how a government was years ago.
It's sad, and that's why I was able to assume the presidency when I found out xD
To this, add review the issue of MPPs and various initiatives that we are trying to launch: Helps bussiness people, to the acquisition of houses, to motivate writers, contests...
But I take it calmly and according to what can be done. eR already deserves little priority in the day to day of any person, even if he is President.
4. What is the most hard at ur job as a president?
Survive the boredom of my society, represented by its congressmen and their eternal NE to a member of our diplomatic side such as eCuba, no matter how much they welcome low-valued members and exiles from eSpain xDDD
And try to find out if there is a damn real battle in this whole decadent world.
5. The last time that ur country land was conquered was before something like 200 days how u and the presidents before u succeed to keep ur country lands safe?
Above all, excellent diplomatic work done many months ago, with many governments that did much to help our closest allies in the last global war.
Effort of diplomacy and effort of wars, which allowed us to take control and security over our enormous economic resources.
Thanks to the coordinated effort of our soldiers during the resource war, we have the second best global bonuses after the United States if I remember correctly. And now we also have good soldiers and good allies; together with good relations with neighbors.
And well, with all TW everywhere... It's not very difficult. I was president last September and the world was boring, right? XD
The important thing is a good diplomacy, won by the effort for the allies when it is really necessary.
Refuge... Businessmen welcome!
6. Why u decide to go for a war with eIndia and eNorway or it is a TW?
A wonderful TW maintained for months and with good agreements. I maintain direct contact with both governments and the truth is that I do not complain about it; given the global situation.
What I complain about is the boring, unbalanced and PayPerWin that the admins have made the game.
7. Can u please tell me about the relationship between Spain and US if there is any?
Currently, as far as I know, they are practically non-existent. Although I already say that I have entered this month fortuitously, so I do not know in detail the work of the previous governments.
I remember eons ago, as we were allies in EDEN (so old times) and CTRL after ONE. And well, personally, I have a perception of USA in what I have seen over the years, of being very "America First". But it is mere personal perception, and would have no problems in the dialogue, as we are beginning to maintain with Argentina, our historical rivals.
8. What do u think about the war on USA lands and the fact that USA lost so fast so many lands?
Honestly, I was not active when the invasion. But in my first presidency, there were several war appearances. I think the United States has acted too quietly on their land, without worrying too much about others. Or, at least, I think it is the impression he has given to many, winning many enemies or countries with bad impression, and without counting on many allies willing to fight for them.
That a country of that size and population be invaded with impunity is a symptom of the international isolation to which they have come, as we were in the past or not so little with the South American countries. It is a mere impression, and I warn you that I may be missing a lot of information. But given the information I handled in my previous presidency, which was more up to date, the United States has to do much to win new allies who really care about them. We fought in times of war, while we were occupied by foreign powers, in the battles of our allies. In bad times, good friendships are won, and I have the impression that the USA has to work harder on that.
9. Can u please tell us about ur country allies and how u collaboration together?
Our main allies are Bulgaria, Macedonia, United Kingdom, France, Serbia and Poland, in my opinion. This month we are increasing communication with other allies, such as Brazil or Ukraine. But, with the situation of lack of real wars, honestly communication is very limited for having few reasons for it, although from my government we try to recover more communication. Mainly many things are moved by Telegram, although currently we work to increase our communication by Discord.
Our goal is to increase bilateral communication with our allies in the coming weeks.
10. Tell us about some old wars which ur country took part
Obviously, to my mind comes the times of V1, where the battles were disputed and having many people and organized was the important thing, not the VISAs (which had an effect, but they had much more limited their influence). Times when the arrival of soldiers with their frames imposed respect.
Since the first French occupation in August 2009, I remember the epic battle (in the real sense of the word) where we conquered Paris in New Year's Eve 2009.
From there, in 2010 and 2011, many epic battles the RA, HK, LK (Who know what is this here? XD) and the times of the famous Spanish-Polish empire.
Only need see that:
11. Do u think to run for another term?
Well, this month I found out that I was a candidate for my party, supported by a Top 5 and chosen quite confidently, on the 6th. XDDD
So I hope my fellow citizens let me rest like 2cliker again
😛
12. Do u have any advice for the other president at Erepublik?
We are very few alive in eRepublik, so we encourage you to encourage interaction between your citizens, and those of other countries. The majority that we follow here, is because of the people we know (the game has long been ... disappointing).
I recommend that they focus on effort in the community, it's the only thing that's worth it.
13. Before we end, do u have any message u want to send to our readers?
Rivalries are temporary, today's enemies will be allies tomorrow; and vice versa. Take the game for what it is: A game. Take the opportunity to make friends, relate with people and prioritize what is important: People.
Never forget that behind an avatar there is always a person. Be good!

I've been curious about eSpain attitudes SINCE V1... more so since winter, then... come summer vac war season, on the edge of my swivel seat. (Sup eSpain?)
Well... thanks to this interview, i have SOME lity bitty insight!
Nothing beat 1 on 1, but talking in public requires more clear commitment to truth. Thank you Mr. POS(or what ever your citizens call you. https://www.erepublik.com/en/citizen/profile/2388813
You are welcome 😃
But I have to say that it was almost face to face: The freedom that gives me being chosen as the special way in which I was elected, allows me some freedoms ... Although I suspect that some fellow citizen will criticize me for it xD
LI HIJO PUTA

A game is a game indeed. Good to read about LK (yes I remember) and about the importance of the community. o7
If the game had been from the beginning for VISA players, it would never have taken off.
And by focusing only on PayPerWin instead of a balanced system like EVE Online, it is approaching an unstoppable end 🙁
LO HA DICHO
Thanks for the interesting interview. 🙂
Thx 😃
"such as eCuba, no matter how much they welcome low-valued members and exiles from eSpain"
...despite the fact the eSpanish citizens are minority in Cuba, mhm 🙂
It is true. And it is not fair that a majority pay for a minority, more when the nationality can not be withdrawn. But when you have presidents who are very questioned about their past by a lot of people from our country, even though I personally do not have bad experiences with them ...
As I say, you have Spaniards who are negatively valued by a substantial part of our community. But only for part of it, and only for some of those who are welcomed by you, not all the expatriates.
So when there will be President, who is not connected to Spain in any way, Spain will stop being hostile to Cuba?
We had that, and it changed nothing - meaning, you do not need any vaid reason for what you are doing.
Janty, the point is that Spain is not a monolithic block. There are people who simply will continue wanting to attack Cuba out of boredom, for merely being the place of destination and residence of some ex-Spaniards ...
BUT, this month, I have found a vote very close to the qualified majority and with an overwhelming absolute majority; where in September there were only a few votes in favor.
That is the different point; when we passed that four troll vote YES, to which a majority supports it. Rationale the reasons for this is a worthy reflection to be done, on both sides.
I simply cannot wait for Serbia, Argentina and Greece to attack us for similar reason... or you being hostile to any other country, which currently has atleast 5 Spanish ex-citizens (and I am sure there are some, so I expect prompt NEs flying there as soon as this sentence is finished).
And indeed - a worthy reflection is needed, though not on both sides, as you claim - since hostility (and therefore the root of the problem) only comes from one side and Cuba realizes fully well and from the very beginning our countries are part of the same block, and therefore we should not have any hostilities 🙂 . I find it sad Spain is unable to realize this alignment, and as you said - the situation is growing worse, proving Spanish governments of past few months did pretty bad job explaining our relations to their public.
You still have some days of your presidency to turn this negative trend though - and I am sure Cubans and our common allies would be thankful, if you tried to do so 😉 .
The fact that eSpanish citizens in Cuba are a "minority" (id like to know a census about this please) wont take away the fact that most spaniards have suffered their lack of intelligence and their excelling at making multiaccounts and taking over political parties, also the several invasions we suffered back from when we were on the other side and everytime Colombia, Argentina or Portugal invaded us, Cuba joined even despite being ruled by those brainless spaniards.
On a side note, i'd make a differenciation between a few people, there are a few good people in Cuba but they dont usually take active roles in politics so its easier to forget they exist.
If you want census, just look at the structure of parties - in TOP5, there is only one party composed of Spanish people, two Catalonian (and no, Catalonia is not Spain), one English speaking and one Latino-American. Number 6 is also Latino American, number 7 Greek and number 8 and 9 have one member, one of which might be Spanish (depends on who took-over them this month)
And I am in Cuba for two years. There was no invasion to Spain at all, on the contrary, there was cooperation with Spain during my presidency in 2016 during attack on Egypt. And when Spain was being wiped by countries like USA and Hungary in the past... I am almost sure Cubans were rather on the side of Spain, due to their relations with the other two countries. But... suddenly... you are hostile during the past few months... without any invasions or even interaction of Cuba and Spain during the last 18 or so months (I do not count two of your presidents trying to declare a protectorate of Cuba, which was a luaghable affair) ... so... either you have delayed memory, or you just desperately look for some casus-belli, which does nto exist.
And claiming "only bad people are active in Cuban politics" is something our citizens and allies can easily disagree with. On the contrary - from the outside point of view, it looks like Spain has much worse situation - it speaks volumes, when the biggest achievement of Spain in recent months is the amount of failed NEs to Cuba (and Poland and other countries too). One would expect something better from such a big and strong country 🙁 .
Your first paragraph is retarded.
Your second paragraph only shows that you have been in Cuba "very little time", obviously in this last two years there havent been any invasion because it has been two years since Spain changed to Asteria side. Before that, every week or two we had Cuba NEing us, but not to vote no, they actually voted yes.
Your third paragraph is a stupidity, i have said that most nice spaniards (which doesnt include you since you are not spaniard) USUALLY dont get involved in politics, that doesnt mean anything about you so please stop thinking the world revolves around you and start digging in the brainless past of Cuba which marked most of our population about it (and btw, the population exchange usually means that retarded spaniards go to Cuba when they are not allowed to rule or when they lose control of the political parties they took with multiaccounts, again with a very few exceptions).
My first paragraph is census, which you have asked to provide... if you call facts retarded, it is your damn problem, not mine, Mr. Trump.
I have been in Cuba more than half of its existence. So "very little time" is an interesting metric you use, showing you know less about history of Cuba then me. And again - you switched the side (= your enemies became your allies), but now you are actually threatening and planning to invade your allies. Seems like your "switch" was no completed during the last two years, which, frankly, is horrifying.
And third - you did not talk about Spaniards, but about Cubans. There is a difference, if you did not know - Spain and Cuba are two different countries - if you do not believe me, look at the map, or in other in-game options (Politics, Newspapers, etc.) 😉
And here you are the one talking about my stupidity... if you represent an ordinary Spaniard, I am glad I am citizen of Cuba, and not Spain, because I would have to be ashamed.
Im sorry, i havent read your first paragraph after you said "Catalonia is not Spain", im half Catalonian and im Spanish so i though everything else was retarded like that.
Though after reading it, there is no census either, a spaniard can stay in a english speaking party or a latinoamerican party with no issue at all, but lets take a look to the weekly damage list (which actually lists the active people):
https://prnt.sc/jyrh6s
https://prnt.sc/jyri0t
https://prnt.sc/jyrjnp
13 spaniards (or mults from spaniards) in the 30 top damage people)... and i know several spaniards which are active but rather dont hit in active battles.
I think thats quite a huge percentage to say that "spaniards are a minority" when actually its the biggest group.
So overall ill still remain under my opinion that your first paragraph was, in fact, retarded.
About you being in Cuba for half its existance, it still does not solve anything, you dont know how many times your fellow "Cubans" and "Catalonians" have crossed the border and joined Spain to try take over political parties and then screw our country, you probably havent seen how the "Catalonians" tried to create their own country in Egypt and basically killed each other and everybody stole from the egiptians till the point there is no egiptian player anymore.
You dont seem to know that Cuba has taken the WORST people that it could from Spain.
And while i cannot say i represent the majority of Spain, i could tell you that i have been the spanish CP elected most times (9 or 10 times) and i have been in goverments here in Spain for the past two years, unlike Li Shaoran which got elected randomly (because people didnt wanted the goverment supported by your cubans inmigrants here btw) I actually know what happened in those years and while i dont even give a shit about Cuba, most of my people will still remember everything negative they have done and while i tried to solve situation and build bridges (i like to consider Edahi a friend just as an example), most of the spaniards on the other side have tried to burn them so please, do something instead of saying pretty words.
"spaniards is the biggest group"
...uff... those Catalonians and Argies will not be happy, when they learn that 1 person from Spain counts for 5 of them, and therefore Spanish peple constitute majority. Anything else you would like to inflate (like your ego or... you know 😉 😘 ) ?
Also, interesting you remember things about Egypt, which are not connected to Cuba at all, but you forget Cuba and Spain (and France!) TOGETHER invaded Egypt around 2 years ago, in an operation, which has been one of the biggest successes for Spain, and which certainly help to switch your aligment to "good guys". Seems like your memory is pretty one-sided.
And about your claim Spain tried to build bridges... I am involved in foreign affairs of Cuba for those 2 years you talk about, and, aside the cooperation in Egypt I mentioned, I have only seen threats and insults from Spain, and no good word towards Cuba. Oh... there was that one time, when you wanted us as a "bridge" to Mexico, but Wild Owl stopped us. You were friendly there too. Otherwise - nothing. With that, it is not a surprise those bridges have never been built. As for Cuba - we do not need to build bridges - our side of the bridge is opened already, all you need to do is to finish building yours and stop bombarding it with those NEs and government-coordinated hits against Cuba (and Asteria members) in our Training Wars 🙂 . Bombardments with MPPs would certainly serve us both better.
la turra
(and no, Catalonia is not Spain)
heh
The video was great ahahaha!
Best memory ever for a lot of people. Especially in a time when you could hit ten times in a day at the most. And that in exchange for not fighting the next day. Such a parade, and on a New Year's Eve... It was another age and the game managed to motivate up to that point.
Min 3:30, I forgot I had taken part!!
