Join the new world

Good day friends, allies, enemies, and everyone else, this is the eIrish Ministry Of Foreign Affairs team speaking. The new Presidential term has just started and you can rest assured that we are all working very hard to represent eIreland in the best way possible in the diplomatic field.

Today I want to give you guys a visual update on some of the current wars that our eWorld is experiencing. I won't lie I stole the idea for this new series from eUSA's WHPR press releases which sometimes has visual updates on the current wars which our eWorld experiences, so I give them credit for the inspiration. Anyways onto the article.

The British Isles


At the time of this screenshot, eArgentina was on its last battle in a desperate attempt to remain on eUK cores. However, the eUK was successfull in repelling this last attack and the front was closed. At this moment ePoland currently holds onto many of the Southern regions of the eUK with the execption of London and it is rumoured that they intend to hold onto some cores to incase of another airstrike by eArgentina.

eArgentina ready to strike again


While we are talking about eUK, as many of you may know they are currently experiencing some internal tumult and newly elected CP BigAnt has declared his intentions of holding a referendum of Sirius membership. On behalf of eIreland we wish them the best in whatever path they choose.

Across the isle, we are sitting in eIreland in a period of relative safety and security. We are friendly or neutral with all of our bordering countries and there are no major threats are present to us at this moment. Newly elected CP Seanan stated his intentions to negotiate a war game with our bros the eCanadians, but the recent NE from the eUK has all but destroyed that possibility as the age old enemies of eCanada and eUK get ready to spar again.

Western Europe


As shown in the black arrows, eSerbia is utilizing its 2x Determination advantage won in the New World Cup contest to full effect and is rapidly advancing into eGermark and ePoland's held German cores, having already conquered ePoland's cores. eChile still remains in Europe in its eFrance's territories and protects ePoland from being completely wiped by eSerbia. eBelgium and eNetherlands are in a period of relative security lately, and eUSA still holds it's colonies in eFrance including the vital rubber in Poitou Charentes. eAustria is also on the map, with some of it's cores held by eSlovenia, and others under attack by eHungary.

Iberian Peninsula


eSpain has finally been freed from occupation by eArgentina thanks to the help of ePoland. However, ePoland still occupies Andalucia presumably for the same reason it currently holds eUK cores, to be able to react in case of an AS by eArgentina. ePortugal is not doing to bad at this moment aswell with the recent times seeing relative peace for the country.

Italy and the Balkans


In eItaly and the Balkans we have an intersting situation. eGreece is on it's last leg to stay in Northern Italy and eItaly is currently leading 28-16 at the moment. In Southern Italy, eChile is slowly using its 2x Determination to counteract eGreece's 1.5x Determination to push eGreece out of Italy, as evidenced by the black arrow illustrating the current battle for Molise. Also worthy noting is that eGreece is attempting to cut off access to their cores via the RW in Apuila to prevent an occupation. There was once a NAP in place that eItaly granted eGreece their Southern regions but eItaly claims that eGreece violated the treaty, sparking war.

Meanwhile in the Balkans, eSerbia has used the 2x Determination to reassert contro over eCroatian cores in what was previously a ping-pong war. In addition, eAlbania also remains occupied by eSerbia and eBosnia's last region, East Srpska Republic, is also under attack aswell, as evidenced by the black arrow. eMacedonia's cores are also under the usual occupation by eGreece aswell.

The Baltics and Belarus

In a rarity, eEstonia and eFinland are not at war. All of the Baltic countries seem to be doing quite well at the moment, with eLithuania even holding colonies in eSweden.

eBelarus is also faring well on the battlefield, recently liberating themselves from eAlbania and even managing to take one of ePoland's cores.

Scandanavia


Asgard member countries Norway and Finland seem to be doing quite well militarily at the moment, with a region swap between eRussia and eFinland being effected. eSweden, on the other hand, seems to not be faring well in the war against eLithuania.

Southeastern Europe


Many events are occurring in Southeastern Europe. eChile is using it's 2x Determination to help out eBulgaria in the war against eRomania and has control over most of their cores. In eBulgaria, eRomania continues to ping-pong around the map as they win direct battles while eBulgaria wins RWs. In eUkraine, the Republic Of Moldova has invaded and has quickly made large gains in eUkraine's cores. eHungary at the moment is attacking eAustria and possesses some of eSlovakia's cores. Greece also appears to be in internal tumult at this time as an impeachment looks to pass against the newly elected CP.

Middle East


The new country of eGeorgia is currently occupied by eRussia and eTurkey. eIran's cores are currently occupied by eTurkey in an empire that spreads throughout the Middle East into eSaudi Arabia and eUAE. eGreece is also farming bonuses in the area, controlling territories in eEgypt and eSaudi Arabia. eCyprus also holds colonies in the area, and currently holds eIsrael except for Jerusalem and Haifa.

India and the Surrounding Area


Currently eCanada, eUruguay, eIran, and ePeru all hold regions in India. At this moment there is a RW in Bihar aimed at driving ePeru out of India, but this looks to be unsuccessful with a score of 20-2 in favour of Peru. ePakistan is also confined to a single region, Balochistan, as per their NAP with eChina. eChinese presence in the region is strong, with colonies in both eIndia and ePakistan.

Indonesia and Surrounding Area


eIndonesia and the surrounding area seem to be in peace at this moment although eMalaysia recently liberated their regions from eThailand and have taken the initiative to attack eThailand. eColombia also has a presence in the area, currently holding the eFilipino cores of Palawan and Visayas.

The Two Chinas and Japan


The two Chinas have significant influence in this area, with eChina holding colonies in eNorth Korea and eROC occupying eJapan and eSouth Korea. eUSA also holds a presence in this area, holding Tohoku and Hokkaido. eJapan also holds a single region. It is also worth noting that eAlbanians have began to enter eChina overriding the strict immigration policy eChina has, and the Pro-Sirius party has grown to sixth place.

Oceania


Oceania is currently at peace right now with eChile, eIndonesia, and eMacedonia paritioning eAustralia and eChile occupying Auckland of eNew Zealand.

North America


All is quiet in North America at the time. For once, eCanada and eUSA may be finally learning to get along with each other. It is also worth noting that eUSA has renewed their NAP with eArgentina aswell.

The Caribbean


Currently the Caribbean nation of eCuba currently has two of its regions occupied by eUSA for the iron bonus in Oriente.

Mexico


Firstly, congrats on getting into Aurora eMexico, happy to fight side by side with you. After finishing a training war with eColombia, eMexico is in a state of peace at this moment.

South America


Thanks to T.E.T.A.S. South America is in a state of peace right now, except for the eParaguayan attack on eBolivia in Santa Cruz and the occasional RW or two.

Africa


Currently some of eNigeria's cores are occupied by eGreece as part of an agreement in addition to eArgentina. In addition, eArgentina is reestablishing it's colonies in eSouth Africa.
