Distribution of High Resource Regions by Alliance

Day 1,055, 16:01 • Published in Brazil USA • by Woxan

A look at the distribution of the world’s high resource regions by alliance, and what it means.

For the purpose of this article, this is how I have grouped the countries into their respective blocks. I understand some of the countries listed in “Unaffiliated Neutrals,” may choose a side or have leaned one way or the other before, but this is where I view them at this moment in time.

Note: I may occasionally make a mistake. If I do, please PM me so I can fix it. I am human after all.


Phoenix/Phx Leaning: Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, UK


EDEN/Brolliance; EDEN-Leaning: Australia, Bolivia, Bosnia, Canada, China, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Norway, Peru, Poland, North Korea, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, USA


ONE: Austria, Belgium, Czech, Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand


Holy Dioist Empire of Pakistan: Pakistan


Unaffiliated Neutrals: Belarus, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, Denmark, India, Montenegro, New Zealand, Paraguay, Philippines, Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Taiwan, Uruguay, Venezuela

ONE only has 1 High Region among all of its members’ cores and currently does not control that one region. It will be omitted from the pie charts until they acquire a High Region.
Several nations are currently under PTO. Due to MPP set ups, the PTO’d nations are included with their original faction if not at war with them.

High Iron

EDEN (7): Asturias, Central Greece, Great Andes, Heilonjiang, Liaoning, Podolia, West Siberian Region

Phoenix (3): North of Brazil, Northeast of Brazil, Urals

Unaffiliated Neutrals (1): Karnataka



EDEN has the advantage over Iron here, controlling over 2/3 of the world’s available regions and possibly closing in on another (Urals). This creates cheap Iron for the EDEN sphere but comes at a cost to all countries: less money in Iron exports for each individual nation. The EDEN sphere has not come this close to dominating the world’s iron supply since the day’s of ATlANTIS, where Romania closed in on Karanataka, but was repealed and pushed back to its cores.

This is a good opportunity for Brazil, however. With less Iron production from other Phoenix nations, Brazil becomes the dominate iron exporter. If Pheonix wishes to keep its Iron at compeitive levels to keep up the fight against EDEN, more workers must flock to Brazil, increasing it’s overall revenue. The same was seen for Greece in World War III, where hundreds of American and Canadian workers fled to Greece to pump out Iron to fight PEACE.

India’s High Iron is also under threat. Pakistan has closed in on India and is poised to attack and seize the region at any time.

High Titanium

EDEN (5): East Siberian Region, Far East Russia, Northern Territory, Northwest Territory, Nunavut

Phoenix (2): Gauteng, Western Australia

South Africa (2): Limpopo, Northern Cape



EDEN again dominates the field, having 4 nations with access to High Titanium, enabling cheap prices across the alliance.

Another advantage to Brazil here, as the only country with a stable control of their Titanium. Indonesia has been having trouble holding down the resistance wars in Western Australia and other Aussie territories. A Brazil without Gauteng would be bad news for the armies of Phoenix.

South Africa is currently PTO’d by Phoenix but is currently able to trade with the bulk of the world’s nations. However, it’s small workforce results in a neglible amount of Titanium. If anything, they are ever to slightly leaning toward Phoenix.

High Stone

EDEN (13): Alberta, British Columbia, East Siberian Region, Far Eastern Russia, Great Andes, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Tennessee, West Siberian Region

Phoenix (6): Aquitaine, Bolivian-Altiplano, Center-west of Brazil, North of Brazil, Rhone Alpes, Sarawak

Unaffiliated Neutrals (5): Amazonica, Brestskaya, Central-East-Chaco, Eastern Macedonia, Jharkhand



EDEN has always had the advantage in total number of Stone regions, with the exception of the North American invasion. The invasion of Russia has caused French, Serbian, and Brazilian Stone to dominate Phoenix markets. China and Poland enjoy stone from their colonies in Russia, putting competition on Canada and the United States who have traditionally dominated the stone market of EDEN.

There have been movements by Pakistan to dislodge Indian from their High Stone in Jharkhand and Serbia from theirs in Sarawak.

Belarus and Macedonia enter the game with High Stone. We’ll have to wait to see if EDEN or Phoenix attempt to go after their resources.

High Oil

EDEN (11): Alaska, Beijing, California, East Siberian Region, Louisiana, Illinois, Newfoundland, Oklahoma, Texas, Vestlandent, West Siberian Region

Phoenix (9): Fars, North Caucasus, Northeast of Brazil, Peninsular Malaysia, Sistan-Baluchistan, Southwestern Iran, Southeast of Mexico, Sumatra, Valley of Mexico

Unaffiliated Neutrals (4): Caribe-e-Insular, Palawan, Venezuelan Capital, Zulian



Oil is split roughly even between the two alliances and is the second most common resource. It’s usually overproduced by both nations and the only thing it can produce is moving tickets. As a result, demand usually only jumps when needed for resistance wars or congressional elections.

High Grain

EDEN (30): Alberta, Beni and Cochabamba, Beijing, California, Catalonia, Federation of BiH,Kalingrad, Kansas, Kanto, Kinki, Kysuhu, Lazio, Lisboa, Lombardy, Lower Austria, Madrid, Manitoba, Mediterranean Coast of Turkey, Montana, Muntenia, North Dakota, New South Wales, North Low Amazon, Saskatchewan, Slavonia, South Australia, South Dakota, Washington, Zemgale

Phoenix (24): Argentine Northwest, Bavaria, Brandenburg and Berlin, Central Black Earth, Gyeonggi, Limousin, London, Moscow and Central Russia, Northwestern Iran, Pampas, Pays-de-la-Loire, Pohja Eesti, Razavi Khorasan, Schelswig Holstein and Hamburg, South Khorasan, Southern Great Plain, Southeast of Brazil, Sudovia, Western Australia, Western Netherlands, Vojvodina, Volhynia, Volga, Volga Vyatka

Holy Dioist Empire of Pakistan (3): Madhya Pradesh, Northern India, Uttar Pradesh

Unaffiliated Neutrals (3): Auckland, Orinoquia, Paranena



Grain is the most bountiful High Resource, and is arguably now one of the most useful. Thanks to the new food rules, players can consume 300 food a day, allowing food tanking, which is much cheaper and economical than gold tanking.

Thanks to recent conquests, EDEN has a slight edge over Phoenix in High Grain regions. Both alliances never experience a Grain/Food shortage, although individual countries will see food and grain plummet to zero at times thanks to tariffs erected by the majority of the world’s nations over Grain.

TL😉R

High regions are a vital part of world conquest, and often form the cause for wars. They'll continue to shape the New World's conflicts for months to come.



It is apparent that EDEN dominates Phoenix in the amount of High RM regions it holds. This does not necessarily mean that EDEN is on better economic footing. While EDEN produces more of each good and holds more regions, this reduces the profit for each individual country, as demand is relatively constant and the supply grows, increasing competitiont. If the alliance stays coordinated, it can take advantage of the it's high damage/dollar ratio and continue the momentum of smashing Phoenix. However, EDEN has a tendency to falter once it gets ahead. Time will tell.

With Russia being erased from the map, this puts more economic power behind other Phoenix powers. Notably, Brazil and to a lesser extent, France, Serbia, and Indonesia. If Brazil can bring more of the Phoenix workforce into its borders to maintain the supply of Iron and Titanium to Phoenix, it stands in a position to make a lot of gold to empower the alliance.

Both alliances and certain countries stand to benefit from the current distribution of the world's resources. We'll see if each can use their advantages on the battlefield. Brazil stands to benefit the most at this period in time, hence the area of publication.
