It's been 8 months. 8 long months.
We have had glimers of hope and false promises. We have lost friends who have had enough with it all who have either left to other countries or the game all together. Half of our previous population is gone.
ALL THESE FACTS YOU KNOW.
But how long will it go on eSpain? How long will you continue to neglect your alliance? How long will you continue to ignore your friends battles for a constant pathetic goal to keep Canada wiped?
Let's look at more facts shall we?
Canada
Ranked 38th Nationally
Active Citizens: 1,189
Fighters? Half that then half it again. That's on a good day.
No congress since April 2013 (Has been wiped longer)
Alliance: ASGARD - Opposed to TWO - No chance.
Spain
Ranked 6th Nationally
Active Citizens: 8,445
Fighters? Pretty much all of them.
Control vast amounts of land,most of which isn't needed but held out of spite.
Alliance: TWO - International superpower.
Let's look at why Spain wiped Canada in the first place...
From Spain's perspective we deserved it, we attacked the eUK (nothing uncommon) and went for a good ol' gangbang. It would have never ended in a perm wipe, and we attacked to aid our Norwegian brothers who were being attacked by the UK.
Fun Fact:
The eUK + eCanada had been having wars for years, it was enjoyed by both sides as we were evenly matched.
However, Spain attacked us, it was no surprise and things got worse with the way it was dealt with at the time. People laughed, we continued to fight. However, this was EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
What are the lasting effects of the wipe on eCanada?
Firstly it has totally killed the political game. Every party is dead, no BAW which is the best part of politics in every country, everyone is united to kick Spain out. Aye, it's what has to be done but it's boring.
Secondly, it has killed the community. I don't mean a few people leaving and the loss of some money, I mean TOTALLY killed the community. Canada has lost half it's population, it has also suffered greatly economically. RW's are expensive, especially for a nation on it's knees.
Moving costs are also a bugger, many 2clickers and players will no CC cannot fight because they simply can't afford it. It is limiting what the game offers them, giving eCanadians a disadvantage overall.
TAX. The latest game mechanic that has screwed up everything. We have soldiers who can't even afford to work in their own Q1 food factory to regain energy because the tax is at 20% and cannot be changed until we get congress. This not only hurts players but our MU's. We have to pay out a PAINFUL amount of money to supply our soldiers and because we are wiped our factories lack workers. This is going to be a massive killer if it isn't sorted instantly.
So where does this leave us?
Ahhh yes, the fact that it's a game. Oh what? a GAME? SINCE WHEN?? That's right. This isn't REAL, we are not REAL enemies, this is a GAME. Let me just let that sink in.
If Spain continue to hold Canada we won't die. There will always be players active and fighting so if that it your goal Spain, just give up now. We will grow weaker? Undoubtedly but we won't die.
What gain are we to eSpain?
This is the stupid part. Spain holds no real gain from keeping us wiped, yet they still use the excuse they must protect the UK. Trust me guys, the UK doesn't need protecting.
Spain ignores it's alliance while fighting for CoT nations and focussing on keeping eCanada wiped, purely to destroy our community to the last man. It's not BRAVE, it's not COOL and it certainly isn't 'Boss like'.
What can we do about it?
Spain have recently NE'd Canada again as soon as we have won back a region, they will try and deny us congress once more...
#FreeCanada
We can unite together, friends, allies, enemies, ANYONE who still appreciates what is right and believes that this is a game for everyone to enjoy. HELP US GET CONGRESS THIS MONTH! HELP US PUSH SPAIN OUT!
Many Thanks

8 months is enough Spain. What will 9 prove other then your total lack of character?
that Spain is nice and you sucks 😶
Everyone knows we are nice and Spain sucks.

You attacked Spain now shut up and put safe your ass as everytime you do

@Maxwell that's the media from Canada? that's too low... sorry 🙁 at least they can learn to use condom and prevent more fail 😃
I'd respond to that but have no idea wtf you just said. Enough child.
butthurt over an article aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaahahaa
@drakantas: "You attacked Spain now shut up and put safe your ass as everytime you do"
No, we attacked the UK. Get your facts straight before attempting to troll please

Don't argue with drakantas, pls. It does not worth it.
that's why you're the failer and me not 🙂
Americans live in Canada, too, don't they?
Spain does gain something from holding on to you though: Empire.
Remember, eRepublik is basically just a nationalist e-peen measuring contest these days. Which is probably why the countries that are powerful in eRepublik tend to be countries that basically have no real power in reality, but have massive chips on their shoulders about either their history or their place in the RL world.
Plus Spain also has a national redoubt against invasions if it holds on to you, much like the Croats have in India.
If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at your neighbours to the south for not doing a god damn thing to stop Spain originally. That singular act of selfishness pretty much doomed you, and until the Yanks get over their insularity, you're going to be stuck with the Spanish.
Don't make it right though...
No, it doesn't.
But it is brutally obvious as to why they're doing it, and why no great call for Canadian liberation has arisen from Spain. Nationalism.
It is Spain's link to TWO, without a country conquered, they would be placed even closer to CoT.
Yes, I miss the bromance days, along with much of eCanada, and maybe a little eUS 😉
No GTFO! And UK should NE Spain for have a BB because Merkel > Isabel
biad to Merkel ;d
Free Canada!! \o/
Spain showing that it sucks.
Free Canada
Free Canada! o7
Well, we no longer are a match for the UK, they've grown while we've shrunk...
One day though...one day ^__^
So typical for Spain...
FREE CANADA
I wondered the same until i read this a few months ago:
"The alliance TWO was founded to achieve world domination by both traditional and unconventional diplomatic and military means and we are proud of our superior ability of innovation in both these fields. We believe in strategic warfare and despise the holy wars of the past. We shall cooperate with those who share our beliefs."

Well,
I for one certainly think this can be classed as the 'bawww' you so desperately miss. Basically, your allies won't help you, but Spain and her allies can mobilise to keep you wiped. That's about the gist of it, right? The fact its been 8 months doesn't reflect on Spain. Any conquered nation which can muster up enough resistance will ultimately either be freed, or agree a peace deal. The fact you haven't doesn't really reflect on Spain imo. You expect to be treated as a friend by your enemy?
Read the article again, we aren't any match for Spain, what is the honor in occupying our western regions which do not border the UK, hold no resource value for them, and represent a country that is not threat at all?
The Spanish government is filled with dishonorable scumbags, we have tried to deal with them month after month to secure a deal, half the time they don't even show up for meetings, or make false promises just to toy with us and have shown to be inept in negotiating fairly with us which is saying a lot considering our position.
FAIL SPAIN
Honour? This game isn't about honour with the enemy; it's about having bonuses. We're good at it while you suck, so no wonder your tears...
The reason why we keep the whole of Canada occupied is because of the RWs. It's the only way you can attack us, while giving you regions would make you NE us and open another front. One front is easier to handle than two. Easy to understand, right?
And what you said about the Spanish Govenrment just proved everyone that all those adjectives are applicable to you.
It's what happens when you suck at a game and can't play it properly. You lose. So you've become another France or another North Korea... Enjoy your bonuses-not.

elMengu, don't be mean. I'm sure if we had the population of eSpain and you had the population of eCanada, you'd understand
This has nothing to do with "playing properly"
"It's the only way you can attack us, while giving you regions would make you NE us and open another front. One front is easier to handle than two. Easy to understand, right?"
What? Since when has Canada NE'd Spain? What would we have to gain? Every time we do get a region through a RW, SPAIN is the one that NEs US, since you seem to forget that fact. You're the one that opens up two wars, not us.
compassion bro... Spain lack it.
I could point out a flaw to everything you said, just wait until I finish eating... ^__^
"Basically, your allies won't help you, but Spain and her allies can mobilise to keep you wiped"
The amount of allied support we get for our RWs is incredible, hence our recent big win. We have allies helping us every time, but our allies are not as strong as TWO... Did you forget the power imbalance between TWO/pro-TWO and CoT/pro-CoT?
"The fact its been 8 months doesn't reflect on Spain. Any conquered nation which can muster up enough resistance will ultimately either be freed, or agree a peace deal"
So we have to blame ourselves? No, the farthest I would go is blame game mechanics, this game is built for the "strong" also known as the biggest spender. How does it not reflect on Spain? The only reason they keep us wiped is because they want TWO's acceptance after being accused of being CoT alignd. Any other TWO country that has occupied has left left us alone after wiping and teaching us our lesson. Spain doesn't need 10/13 regions for sure and could live without cattle.
And hey, its too bad we can't hold more than one Canadian RW at once 😉
"You expect to be treated as a friend by your enemy?"
No, but I do expect to be treated with enough respect to not kill a country, how would you feel after 8 months of occupations and a diminishing population?
I'm sorry that you only get a little bit of support, but that is hardly Spains fault. As for compassion, this q a game, you play to win, not to negotiate with enemies. You only do that if there is something in it for you.
Its hilarious how when its Canada wiped, you are all for compassion. When it was the UK, you flat . refused to negotiate at all. As for war with Canada being evenly matched. The only reason you guys ever hit us is because you knew our damage, and our allies damage, was none existent night. You talk about fun and respect, all I remember is trolling, and doing anything in your power to get others to help make sure we were wiped.
Alsoevery nation at some point has faced a much stronger alliance or country invading them. If you can't win on the battlefield then suck it up and do something else. Whining and saying life isn't fair gets you nothing, and bad mouthing Spain is hardly going to help your cause either.
Yes, but did you stay wiped? Ofc not, we were equal in power, trolling was part of the fun, I can say I have as many British friends as Canadian, I do hope you realize it was for fun.
And how many times did you get us wiped because of it too, I can recall the same behavior from your side just as much as min.
I fail to see how an attempted rally is bad mouthing,
I'm not bad mouthing Spain, I'm trying to get people to fight for us. I was a UK citizen when Canada wiped us, but I also remember it not lasting very long. Read the article before making brash comments, I had a higher opinion of you.
