[TWO] Congress elections and War Review

Day 1,894, 13:31 Published in Hungary Hungary by TWO Alliance
Hello my friends and every TWO (and ACT) citizen,



I promised to write an article every week, but I know that there have been almost 10 days since something was published. There are 2 reasons about that.

- The first one is that I was ill and everybody will say (and they have right) : Real life before Erepublik.

- The second one is more based about congress. Here, at TWO HQ, we gave our best effort to secure the congress of every TWO and ACT member. If every TWO country was secure, we were able to secure at least some regions for 2 of our ACT members (Latvia and Estonia) who are fighting against hostile forces.

Still about congress and whatever the alliance where you are member, it requires a lot of preparation. Asking party members that want to be a congress candidate, prepareing the list and the strategy to win as many as possible , … Once everything is done, there is always a lot of suspense during the election day (and on the 6 hours following the vote). Hopefully, and for some countries, TWO was able to help them and reduce their problems in making a list of congress candidates, and no suspense was required during the voting day.

This month, TWO offered its help to following countries : Bosnia, Israel, Portugal, Romania and Ukraine

Need to mention, we help the following countries to reduce size of their list : Colombia, Italy and Norway.

Now let’s check a bit what happened since last time for our members.



After signing Non Aggression pact with France and the Netherlands (read this article to have more news http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-two-weekly-news--2195206/1/20 )
Poland remained involved with Hungary on their war against Romania. No need to hide it : it was a great success : Romania was wiped and had no congress.

On the same time (and for the first time since at least a year) : Poland was able to elected more than 40 congress members (46 to be precise). Mainly because game mechanics mention that if a country has more than 40 regions, they are able to elect the same amount of congress members than Regions under their possession.

As usual, Poland continues to keep the full set of resources.



A Bit like Poland, Serbia is also a huge and powerful country. During the first part of the week, they were involved to help their allies before on these last days, receive an natural enemy law from Albania. At the same time, their arch-nemesis (croatia) tried to come back to Europa (even if weather is better for them in Asia).
With a good coordination from their allies, Serbia was able to keep Kosovo (one of their original regions) against Albania and avoid Croatian European return.

Like last time, Serbia was able keep all of their 10 resources (and they are the second TWO country who have the full set).



Also a long week for Hungary, they were involved (with Poland) on the war against Romania. Together, they made a perfect job and Romania wasn’t able to elect a congress.

At the same time, Hungary was able to make a link between their original regions and their colonies in Ukraine. That link gave them the opportunity to have a stronger economy.

Currently, Hungary has 7 resources (4 food and 3 weapons). They gained 2 since my last article.
So, Congrats Hungary



The week was so quiet for Spain. Like I will explain later, they decided to choose Canada as their Natural Enemy.
The main reason of this choice was that their British friends were under Canadian attack and like a good ally they helped them.
Via Azores, they were able to build a bridge to Canada. If first wars were quite easy, Canada decided to show some resistance against our spanish friends. Canada signed lot of mercenaries to defend their regions and fight on resistance wars.

Even if their progression is a bit harder than expected, Spain are able to keep their regions in Canada.

About their resources : Via their war against Canada, Spain was able to catch the last resource that they missed : Cattle

It means that they have now 10 resources and they are the 3rd TWO country (with Poland and Serbia) to gain the full set
Excellent job !



Not a lot of things to mention in Slovenia. Their Training war with Italy ended and they were able to support their friends in TWO wars.

Slovenian resources remain stable : they keep their 8 resources.



In my last article, I explained that UK zone could be the place where some wars were scheduled. During the last week, UK was under the fire of Canada, Norway and Netherlands.

Canada by helping Norway, was almost able to catch British oil, but it wasn’t the case. TWO helped UK and they were able to stop canadian progress just before they reached an oil region.
At the same time, Norway showed impressive resistance, was able to take back initiative and they were able to attack UK original regions.
Hopefully for the UK, Norway wasn’t able to keep them and they lost their possessions via Resistance wars.
Netherlands war wasn’t a priority because they were locked to attack a region and wouldn’t be able to continue (no borders with other UK regions).

Spain helped UK when they choose Canada as Natural Enemy. Via this move they close the bridge between original UK and Canadian regions (the bridge is Newfoundland and Labrador).
UK successfully kicked Canada out of their regions and war with them was closed due to the fact that there was no border between UK and Canadian regions.

Norway’s progress was also stopped and the UK was able keep the 2 regions that they have a border with.

After all these events, and as usual, UK keeps 5 resources.





Time to finish my review via our ACT friends.

These last days weren’t so easy for our 2 Baltic friends (Estonia and Latvia). They are under the fire of Sweden and Finland. Our main job was to be sure that they could have a congress. Even if Latvia is stronger than Sweden, these last ones were helped by Canadian and some Russian forces

No need to hide it and even if it was hard : it was a success. Latvia and Estonia had congress this month.
On these last hours, Latvia had back all of their original regions.

About Estonia, after being almost wiped, they were able to have 2 regions for congress elections and elect 20 congress members.
That’s not so easy for our smallest member but we are here for you and we will continue to help you against your enemies (who are also our enemies).

About Venezuela aka our south-american member : not a lot of things to mention, it was a quiet week for them and were able to help other members.

That’s all for my current review.
Before I finish this article : I’d like to mention two last things.

- The first one is that I’m unable to mention an ally of the week. You ALL have been great and it is impossible for me to mention who was the best of you.

- The last one is that we continue our quest for the perfect logo. We received a contribution from an UK citizen and I can assure you that those who already saw his work liked it. Maybe (and at least), we have our logo. You will probably discover that on a following article.

The usual form to finish it :

Hail Hungary
Hail Poland
Hail Serbia
Hail Slovenia
Hail Spain
Hail United Kingdom
Hail Estonia
Hail Venezuela
Hail Latvia

HAIL TWO & ACT !!!
