1: eUS History Trivia Contest
We know it, we love it. The eUS has had a long history, which is good for people who want to make trivia contests out of it. I’m doing that now!
I will post a total of 5 questions in the comments, some will be easy, some will be hard. The first person to answer each question correctly wins 5k cc!
The catch? I will wait some amount of time between posting each question, and I won’t announce ahead of time when each question is posted. So check back often if you want to be ready!
First question will be an easy one, and I’ll have it up at the time of publication.
Good luck! o>
2: War Updates (ft Cthulhu)
Greetings to all you beautiful people in the eUSA and the eWorld at large. Unless you've been hiding under a rock, the eUS is in the midst of a full-scale invasion. We have had some minor successes, such at thwarting the initial eCroatia Air Strike by gaining a border with them in the Philippines. We are doing our best to use the remaining game mechanics to close borders, block attacks, position allies, and open strategic Resistance Wars.
The mechanics allow for attacking another country in three ways. A nation can declare a war which costs gold. They can declare an NE, which is free, but can only be changed every seven days. And, lastly, you can Air Strike a target which costs currency and food. This can only be done every two weeks. The first two methods require a common border to start the proposal, and you must still have a border for 24 hours when the vote finishes, otherwise the war closes automatically. The air strike cannot have a border when it is proposed or finishes, like we did with eCroatia.
Furthermore, regions can only be attacked by one country at a time (and RWs count). Thus, we can use friendly countries to attack before an enemy can position themselves. We can even use ourselves to keep allies, such as how we've done with eLithuania, from being the target of air strikes. One of the most important aspects that we can control ourselves is the opening and timing of Resistance Wars. We need to be able to open the correct RW when a region becomes available. For example, if Bulgaria had two regions available (X, Y) and one (Y) would block an opponents attack, but we opened the other regions'(X ) resistance war; it would allow the attack from the enemy to succeed against region Y.
There will also be real time updates on battles, such as switching from winning a region to losing, because of the closing of another battle. We will also need to delay or prolong some battles, so that we can control an aspect of another attack or Resistance war. Herr Vootsman has been working with our allies and some of the most active and brightest in our country, coordinating these very maneuvers.
The eUS is not going down without a fight, and our allies are committed to helping us coordinate and strategize in real time. eCroatia laid down about 100B damage in a battle today in less than ten minutes. Clearly, they have the Romperov advantage. We gots to be Wolverines, and outmaneuver them in order to antagonize, disrupt, and otherwise delay their efforts. Many think our wipe is inevitable, and that may be so, but we can da** sure give them HE** and go down swinging. We ain't gonna just sit on our butts and take it. We gonna make them fight for every inch.

3: This Week in eUS History
Here’s a history lesson, you dummies.
On March 22, 2009, CP Uncle Sam was officially impeached by congress, and scrabman filled the role, assembling a cabinet within hours of assuming office. In early April, he was re-elected to a second of three terms in a row.
Among his presidential accomplishments, he turned over control of Fort Knox Federal Reserve from the CP to Congressional leadership. This prevented further executive abuse of the federal budget. Furthermore, he worked with congress to create a standardized system of tracking the national budget.
Remember V1? I saw like a week of it lol. Remember hospitals on the map? Scrab put one in New Jersey, which was apparently a big deal.
At the time he took office, the eUS was at war with Mexico, however negotiations were in progress at the time. Following their conclusion, the two nations started “war games” in Baja, a primitive version of TWs.
Another thing he did in his April term was create the position of “White House Press Secretary.” I pity the person who has to do that job.

Question 1:
In summer of 2020, which eUS President took the first steps towards putting us on good terms with eSerbia, which we had previously been enemies with for many years?
We been wiped by e Ireland ,Finland & SA so understand where you coming from.
As an answer to questions 1. I hazard a guess @ Chickensguys.
V + c
Tyler Bubblar.
the question was referring to our leaving the CODE alliance and accepting the peace deal offered by the Asteria nations invading our cores. Tyler Bubblar is the answer
Woot, thank you!
... is a peasant. 🤣
Obvious answer is CG but it was more during last months of 2019 😉
And it turned out so well. We should bring him back. That guy is good at this game. Good judgment, a keen judge of character, even-tempered, wise. He picks good sources of inspiration, too. Fired football coaches and comic book villains. The man is a marvel. We owe him so much.

Can we change it to 2017, so I can be the answer? xddddd
Whoever said "Failure is an orphan" never met the US elites.
One day, I hope to love something as much as you love Croatia. Glad you think I’m elite though lmao
What does Croatia have to do with anything? As a 9x president who sometimes runs some kind of podcast, if you aren't an "elite," what is?
My dear George, people simply tolerate my bulls*** for periods of time. Two of those medals belong in Canada, and one of them belongs to zRTx (love u, bby). Not to mention the ELITES didn’t prefer my Pro-Serbia ambitions at the time
Btw, anyone can start a Twitch stream viewed by like 5-10 people. You should try it sometime.
I see. So you were only 6x president. 6x isn't an elite. As you say.
Me: "Flip-flopping and cowardice will lead to disaster."
You: "You're just saying that because you love Croatia. Also, I'm pro-Serbia."
Sometimes the clown act isn't an act.
You’re right. Flip-flopping and cowardice can lead to disaster. That’s why we should’ve been Pro-Serbian for the past four years. No more flip flopping though.
Big shock: the disaster is here. It has been for awhile. But as I said at the start of this, only people like you -- "the elites" -- don't understand that. Because in the end you don't care. You've got your pals, and your schemes, and above all your bullshit political parties, and that's all you care about: yourselves. Wipe, no wipe, respected, derided -- doesn't matter. You get to sit around with your pals and gossip and bicker on discord and obsess about the status of your party, and all is well. BTW, before this, who wiped us? Serbia and asteria, as a reward for our prior clownish attempt to suck up to them. So wrong there, as you are about everything of import. Even when you try to be clever, you just come across as clueless. And you are a perfect example of all the others who are like you. Except they fight once in awhile. A 6x country president and PP of what is traditionally a top 5 party who nevertheless claims he isn't an elite. And a strength of 93 ( how the hell does that happen? play the game since 2009 and have a 93 strength?) We are getting what we deserve because we've allowed people like you to run things.
“BTW, before this, who wiped us? Serbia and asteria, as a reward for our prior clownish attempt to suck up to them.”
Yeah, we deserved it. We went from being Pro-Asteria in my terms, to chasing Colin-bot damage, to neutrality, then tried to go back shortly thereafter. Stupid.
I’m sorry you’ve completely avoided any social and political aspects of the game though. We could’ve used your leadership and judgement.
"Pro-asteria on your terms" is being brutally wiped by asteria? Or were you on vacation during the wipe, mentally or otherwise? It was, since you appear to have blanked that period out of your mind, Colin and the countries that now comprise CODE that UNWIPED us from your darling (I'm sorry, "based") asteria. And of all people you, who knew about the gnilkrap scam almost from the beginning, are going to talk about "colin-bots"? And no, you couldn't have used my "judgment," because you (the group of you) weren't interested in it. You were wrapped up in your clever schemes and your bullshit, and nobody was going to unwrap you, then or now, because you don't care about outcomes. You care about yourselves, your schemes, your bullshit, and proving that you can do what you want with the country, and if other people don't like it, too bad for them. You're in it for yourselves.
- ""Pro-asteria on your terms" is being brutally wiped by asteria?"
Pro-Asteria in my terms was getting USA off its neutral ass, joining Pacifica with Asteria, to annihilate Syndicate and force its dissolution.
- "And of all people you, who knew about the gnilkrap scam almost from the beginning, are going to talk about "colin-bots?"
I didn't. I had to be informed by other people and their suspicions, as I was not actively playing when Gnil started his Krapis bit.
- "And no, you couldn't have used my "judgment," because you (the group of you) weren't interested in it. You were wrapped up in your clever schemes and your bullshit, and nobody was going to unwrap you, then or now, because you don't care about outcomes."
Ah yes, the classic "you wouldn't have listened anyways!" Great excuse.
No bubby, I'm not the one who needs an excuse. YOU and the rest of the elites thought this was a good idea, YOU and the rest of the elites are responsible for the outcome. Nobody else is responsible for it because they couldn't stop you. In fact, as anyone who reads my articles could tell, I was quite vocal in my opposition to the whole scheme from the start. NOTHING was going to stop you. You shit the bed. You own it. I'd say "You clean it up," but you're not exactly in a position to do that, are you? BTW, my offer still stands: make CMS* in two months, get 50k CC. Too much like work, isn't it? Easier to sit around on discord yucking it up and scheming a way to get back into the top 5 while the country burns. That's "the social aspect of the game."
George, this guy is so dumb, but he teaches kids in school. F%&$ing tragedy. He's a waste of time, he wouldn't get it if you would draw it in pictures for him. Happy Easter my friend!
I was just listening to that track 😮
I miss scrabman.
One of the greats. But not just him. OneEye, Harlot -- people who made decisions based on reason rather than petulance, boredom, and cronyism.
I miss Frost 🤣
How many times can Titanic sink?
It depends on the number of icebergs.
We're not sinking. We're strategically submerging to the bottom.
"We ain't gonna just sit on our butts and take it. We gonna make them fight for every inch."
LEWD
Fight for every inch of our butts? 🤣
In earlier versions of the game, congress elections happened in each state, rather than nationwide. What term was used to refer to the act of waiting until just before day change to strategically cast a congress vote in a certain region?
Sniper No Sniping!
Correct!
Blocker! Do not vote for me!

Good work Media Team! Thank you! o7
This unlikely player is considered the founder of WTP, as a result of ATO action. Who is it?
I’m guessing Gnilraps
Are you sure it wasn't Krapis? 🤣
the question was referring to the August 2012 PP election, in which Gnilraps beat out RGR and rebranded what was once RLC.
