Shoi12
So, how has the week passed in the New World? Who has made progress? Who has been dealt the scent of defeat? Find out in this week's edition of Around the World!
MAJOR WARS
The Hundred-Hour War
Before
After
Belligerents: France, Canada vs. UK
Results: Old and new rivalries meld together, as both France and Canada have declared war on the Brits! France has made some astonishing progress despite its perception as a weaker nation, capturing some oil in the process, while the Canadians attempt to breach Wales. The UK needs all the help it can get, but will it be enough?
Winner (this week): France, Canada
Winner (campaign): France, Canada
Portuguese Resurgence
Before
After
Belligerents: Portuguese vs. Spain
Results: Props to Portugal for last week's berserker rampage, but due to better resistance from Spain, they were unable to advance any further, ending the week with little to show for it. It's still impressive that Portugal managed to get this far, but they've stalled just a bit.
Winner (this week): DRAW
Winner (campaign): Portugal
Macedonian War of Aggression
Before
End
Belligerents: Greece vs. FYROM
Results: The bloody war has finally ended, in status quo. Greece is fully intact, and FYROM is already in another war. Was this worth the millions of lives lost? Yes. Was this worth wasting so many weapons? No. Was it fun to watch? You bet!
Winner (campaign): DRAW
Serbian Rebellion
Before
After
Belligerents: Albania vs. Serbia, Montenegro, FYROM
Results: This continues to be a head-scratcher. How on Earth has Albania survived against three far larger and more populated nations?! This either shows Albania's true might, or shows the weakness ONE contains. Either way, Albania has managed to somehow expand its nation, conquering Montenegrin lands in the south. Hail Albania!
Winner (this week): Albania
Winner (campaign): Serbia, Montenegro, FYROM
Ukrainian-Moldovan War
Before
After
Belligerents: Ukraine, Romania vs. Moldova, Hungary
Results: With Moldova agreeing to cease fire with Ukraine and the Hungarians being cut off by Romania, it seems that this war won't go on much longer. What started as a training war gone wrong has finally come to rest, with only Romania and Hungary truly in battle, and Hungary falling fast.
Winner (this week): Ukraine, Romania
Winner (campaign): Ukraine, Romania
Swedish Reconquest of Bohus
Before
After
Belligerents: Russia vs. Sweden
Results: What a disappointment. What was hyped up as an epic battle for the Nordics was turned into a one-sided full on smothering, as Russia crushed Swedish strongholds throughout Scandinavia. With only one Swedish province left in Scandinavia, it doesn't look like Russia will let up any time soon.
Winner (this week): Russia
Winner (campaign): Russia
Until next time, take care!
Comments
If you ask nicely, I might toss in America vs. Mexico in there as well.
France didnt make the gains...Terra did and French fighters didnt even make the top 5. On the brit side we have lost two wars literally at the last minute of the last round. And three of the top five tankers were Brits.
Once ONE sorts itself out of this turmoil France will be wiped resoundingly \o/
Currently, we are beating the living shit out of Canada. Babybooms do make a difference, then.
(Or the U.S. told Terra not to give Canada support, after their "betrayal" of the U.S.)
Actually, all of Terra is turning on America for leaving them to frat with the enemy. This will be very interesting.
Indeed... I shall watch from the ceiling... *ceiling Japan ninja*
I read the title of your article and I was under the impression that Roger Griswald was back in Canada lol
Jfsitpierre read my ming.. hhaha I thought Griswald had revived his version of Around the World, but great article none the less!

That awkward moment when you realise your country cant even double team on a lessor nation that was getting beat down before you joined in !!!
Huh there was someone who did something similar? I guess great minds think alike, except that I'm not a robber and a PTO-er : P
@N W G: You really can't make fun of us right now. Our intention was never to conquer UK, who is still getting crushed since we're providin' most of our damage there, but it was to absorb some damage through another front. In a 1v1 fight, we're pretty much even with the UK, maybe a little stronger
