[MoFA] Switzerland and The World part 2

Day 1,512, 18:16 Published in Switzerland United Kingdom by bowen199


So here it is Part 2 of Switzerland and the world as promised. I'm releasing the second part later than originally planned, but this just means it will be more informative. The first thing I would like to point out is this edition will not be 'neutral' as its predecessor. Due to our recent consensus, it is apparent that the majority of Swiss citizens no longer want to be neutral.




WESTERN AND NORTHERN EUROPE


Day1,512 of the new world






Switzerland vs Slovenia

Switzerland has negotiated with Slovenia the past few months, which benefited both sides. However, last month saw a breakdown in the agreement which Slovenia blamed Switzerland for. This month, we discussed making new arrangements but Slovenia refused. This left us no choice but to take back our regions.




Finland vs Sweden


After Estonia got wiped it brought the long standing Estonia vs Finland war to an end. Finland has lost all their previously conquered Estonian regions nonetheless, they now have deer and cattle bonuses as well as oil. Finland acquired their extra 60% food raw material bonuses (from deer, fish and cattle) by conquering several Swedish region and the 40% weapons raw material, with their oil coming from from the temporary merger with Norway. Sweden were unfortunate enough to suffer the wrath of Eden (Finland) and Terra (Russia) consequentially, got wiped after being proposed as Finland's natural enemy a little over 2 weeks ago. There was an agreement between between Finland an Sweden for peace which was never signed due to a breakdown of communication. Finland now hopes to take the remaining Norwegian regions, currently PTO'd by the Serbs.





France vs UK


After regaining their occupied regions from Serbia with the help of allies USA. France then allowed USA to wreak havoc on Poland through some clever strategic military planning. With the Strasbourg Treaty dismantled and UK joining ONE, they unwittingly signed their own death wish. France, Ireland and Canada then took advantage of the UK's overconfidence. The UK now struggles to stay on the map after being wiped consecutively.





Germany/Denmark


A week ago Germany and Denmark signed a Confederation Treaty to merge due to the PTO threat from Serbs in Denmark. As a result, Denmark gave their regions to Germany with most citizens taking on German citizenship. The beauty of the deal now means all those that are apart of the confederation (with German Citizenship), benefit from a combined 80% food raw material bonus and a 40% weapons raw material bonus. One the other hand, this term has brought some shame to Germany as their CP resigned after helping himself to the country's reserves. Overall Germany is in a better position now than they were last time round and recently successfully completed their Austrian conquest with allies Bulgaria and Italy.





Ireland vs UK


Well in the Ireland vs UK not much has changed except, now the UK has fewer regions and less troll articles in their media. The prolonged war has however strained the Irish budget, leaving the current government forced to make difficult sacrifices with MPPs and other funding projects. Note, Ireland's MoFA (columbia) is probably the hottest MoFA in the eWorld (just thought I'd mention it).




Italy vs Slovenia & Serbia


Italy has regained control over 4 of their regions as well as 2 conquered regions (still only providing fish bonuses). Serbia has been busy on multiple fronts, and Slovenia has decided to NE Bulgaria. The Elite eItaliana force have not won all their battles but are likely to win alot more now, as Italy is forming greater links with neighbouring countries.




Netherlands

Since the Netherlands joined the Garden of Eden alliance, they've enjoyed a period of prosperity and peace. With the removal of the last of the Poles from their regions, this led to their old oppressors being considerably weakened. There was a NE proposal on Belgium which was rejected, as such they have no natural enemy bonus and their peace continues. Social programs are now being implemented such as random storage handouts, free food and and extra military supplies.




Portugal vs Venezuela

Portugal has been occupying Venezuela for nearly five months and various attempts have been made by Venezuelans to negotiate a deal. However, Portugal has rejected all their offers. The friction intensified when Venezuela released articles stating that Portugal had been in negotiations which Portugal denied. The Portugal CP as a result demands a minimum of 500 gold to start any negotiations. Personally, I don't think that will happen. Portugal only recently, became an official member of EDEN but is one of the ten largest empires in erepublik.
