**Summary of ATLANTIS-PEACE battles
There were an incredible 17+ battles that had taken place yesterday in one of the largest coordinated assaults in recent memory. Even more remarkable was that PEACE was able to hold the walls up in every ATLANTIS assault except that of Spain, which resulted in driving Portugal out of the Western Hemisphere. Although the eUS assault on the Far Eastern Region of Russia had not resulted in its capture, it was a close battle that was only decided in the last 15 minutes.
Some may wonder if the war games have worked for us. In past wars, you may remember us putting up what we thought was an amazing 300,000 damage against walls, but that still wasn't enough to fight against 8 PEACE allies who pushed us back to our border in Mexico. Well, we've had time to build our strength with president scrabman's continuation of the war games. With ATLANTIS allies doing their part all over the world, eUS forces put an unprecedented 780,000 damage in the Far Eastern Region. If it were not for the 10 PEACE allies working together to hold the wall up, the result could easily have gone the other way.
Thanks must be given to all ATLANTIS allies who have participated in this operation. Gratitude must also be extended to Spain, who has reduced the threat of PEACE, moving them further from our borders and the eUS public need not worry about invasion from a border country at this time. For a better understanding of battle mechanics in eRepublik, if 1 country attacks another, the MPPs of the attacking country do not come with it, but the defender's MPPs are all activated if the defender's original territory is attacked. This means that, while Russia still borders us, if they were to attack Alaska it would be one country (Russia) against ATLANTIS. As evidenced by the FER battle, that would mean that such an attack would be met with well over 1 million damage by eUS forces combined with activated MPPs.
Respect must also be given to the nations of PEACE who, despite a never-before-seen display of force in a single day, drew upon the strength of all of their countries to hold off the advances of ATLANTIS. All who participated in these battles around the world will remember day 541 as the one that drew awe from both ATLANTIS and PEACE alike.

I am disappointed in America. The US has nothing to gain by attacking Russia. Even if the US somehow conquers the Far-Eastern Region, she cannot possibly hope to keep it for long. This move serves Romania's interests only.. why does the US support the Romanian Empire which opresses so many nations?
juchemaxxxxxxxx
While freeing oppressed nations is a noble goal let's remember that Ukrainian regions are controlled by Romania as well and they have no intention of ever returning certain "prized" regions. If we are going to tout this war as one with the intent to free nations and return their original territories then let's make sure it's all nations and all their territories not just a few for propaganda reasons.
hahahaha
its funny because it's propaganda.
the citizens of america will learn what happens to those who occupy russian land.
the same lessons norway learned, and romania is currently learning.
Armande Xavier:
Listen to GLaDOS' words: We can support Romania or we can support Indonesia, but Indonesia does not support American causes. If we withdraw our support to Romania, are you implying that >Indonesia
lol, bullshit propaganda, everybody know that your RWs are just to distract lol
GLaDOS: I agree. Your propaganda can be pretty funny 😃.
Everyone welcome Hungary into the ring 😃.

@mjdiv
im not the one invading a nation here.
the Russian Federation has never been imperialist, never even threatened the USA.
we actually used to have decent relations.
see how long your "staging area" lasts.
I suppose we will, GLaDOS.
GLaDOS, you preside over a dying nation, nobody cares what you have to say, and we're gonna CRUSH you!!!
Greg: GLaDOS may be on the "other" side, but I like him and he's another person just like you are. eRep is one of the few places where we can have a few "friendly wars" against worthy opponents. I would actually miss having someone like GLaDOS here.
GLaDOS: Oh, I didn't know Indonesia didn't invade nations...my eyes might be failing me - but the country flag over India, China, South Africa, etc. etc. looks Indonesian to me 😃. And Portugal's flag still flies over Mexico today from a war that ended 2 months ago. There's more, but I don't have to bring all of them out 😃.
YES SIR!
Isn't it just a little bit hypocritical to speak of liberating occupied nations when the eUSA fully intends to conquer and occupy FER and beyond? At least scrabman is finally being honest about his intentions, even though they were not exactly kept secret before.
I am glad we are finally in the Theater. Strong Work!
If Romania secures WSR Russia and their 10 MPPs will be useless as they will share no border with us.
All I have to say is finally this game is getting interesting and I am glad I kept playing through the first month which was totaly boring.
Keep fighting in FER. It's not over yet.
If we get it, it's a game-changer.
kill kill kill! we must win eamericans, we have to, or its going to get very bad. ive been using all my funds to fight. im wore out for today
voted,
Guess What Americans! Your losing and your government just wasted 1000 gold! Come on done and claim your prize for effort! Hopefully you will learn!
Well looks like the Russians finally did it and kicked the US back to the ocean 😛
told
you
so
>Battle we can win
I LOLD
What a disappointing and humiliating loss Atlantis suffered today. Reading this propaganda after the fact actually made me sad.
Very interesting.
Although I am new to this game, I say this.
America stands for freedom. We must show this eRussia that their ways will not be tolerated, and we will defend our allies to the last.
Continue the war. I must say World War III has begun, and we will be victorious.
If things keep going the way their going I'm moving to the Phillipenes.
"Far Eastern Region was secured by Russia in the war versus USA"
Whoops 😃 It did not work 😃
Next time maybe you will think before trying to do an evil thing like this 😉

Just a tip to all americans, when some one says something like that it usually means that he doesn't have a clue of what he is saying!
Bridge the Bering Sea now or wait and
defend it alone latter.
think about it
"And Portugal's flag still flies over Mexico today from a war that ended 2 months ago. There's more, but I don't have to bring all of them out 😃."
FAIL
Spain's flag...
give back the regions to the owners(expect those russian communists). go usa go ireland!
