Congressional Analysis
Press Corp Staff Writer DokJon
Still standing strong.
The vote battle is finally over. American citizens have chosen their parties. Despite all the ATO shouts and articles, the enemy AFA brings in more members into the Congress than any other party. Congress will be comprised of approximately 30.6% AFA, 26.4% AMP, 15.2% USWP, 14.6% FED, and 13.2% WTP. 18, 16, 9, 9, and 8 members respectively. AMP seems to have solidified their dominance over the long-rival USWP, and WTP barely made it into Congress by bumping iNCi out of Top 5 at last minute.
The election was a nail-biter, since AFA initially pulled in more than 35% of votes and kept up the pace for a while. It would have definitely not been good if they ended up winning that many seats. This would have definitely hindered our nation's functionality.
Law proposals are voted on by Congressmen, and each of them require certain numbers of approvals in order to pass. Had AFA won more than 50% of seats in Congress, the legislative branch of American government would've failed to function at all, since AFA Congressmen would successfully block every proposal, let alone making their own rogue proposals. They would have also been able to prevent the impeachment of a president had they gained 33% of the seats, which could be a threat this time around.
The PTO group AFA keeps getting only bigger at the moment. Our fight against them will be even harder in the future, but true American citizens will stand together and overcome the enemies in the end.
Unity Elections
In the coming presidential election, the eUS will again be using a unity election system. Let me explain how this is going to work. Parties will conduct their primaries as usual. It is also recommended that candidates make their announcements before the 29th. We suggest that 6th parties make arrangements with a larger party of their choosing to participate in their primary in order to ensure that more voices are heard and that smaller parties are included in the process.
Following this, candidates will be on eNPR on Tuesday the 30th at 18:00 erep time. This will allow players to hear policy positions and views of each candidate in order to make a better choice. In the event of a tie, a run off primary will take place via the eUSA forums, in which case all citizens are encouraged to make accounts on eusaforums.com. The process of conducting unity elections is not perfect, but we believe this is the best system available to give as many citizens as possible a voice in the process and avoid as much fraud as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and all of your input this month to ensure the meta aspects of our elections are fair and democratic.

War Map & Analysis
Press Corps Staff Writer Hale26
As many of you know, We. Have. Lost.
America was facing a 3 NE battle in this war, just 1 NE short of 4. (The same amount that took out over 80% of Croatia's Central European territory in one day a few months back.)
No sugar-coating it- The odds were against us, and The FellowShip played their cards well. All NE battles were while most Americans were AFK and all of our allies were busy at the time (including EDEN.)
Review of what lead us up to this point..
1. Hungary kept us off their land VIA Austria NEing Hungary so that the Huns could get into Austria. Therefore meeting us half way into Austria, and providing the Huns with a buffer region.
2. Slovakia withdrew from Austria to presumably give Austria a congress and give Hungary and America fewer regions to attack. Basically, you cannot change your NE till 7 days are up or you run out of enemy to attack. Since 2 Austrian regions are gone, America and Hungary both had less Austria to attack. Now I'm not gonna go into the times or anything, but I'm guessing this was to Hungary's advantage
3.Hungary NE'd us thanks to a rogue AFA proposal. We could've NE'd them had it not been for this proposal.
4. FYROM NE'd France to regain their border with America. With us being faced with 2 1-billion damage daily hitters, something had to give.
5. Slovenia NE'd us...just cause a 3 front war is better then a 2 front one.
But rest assured America, we have a plan. It works in 4 phases, and is open to the public. Here it is:
1. We surrender Piedmont. This will cut off Aosta valley from the Slovenian advance on us, and since Slovenia will have more America to fight we will be safe in Aosta for awhile. Though Slovenia can NE Piedmont, keeping a base in Aosta is just a piece of the plan. Not the end game.
2. We forget Hungary, Austria, our holdings in Switzerland..etc. All of it. That is a diversion right now. And plus, we have lost that war. There is no getting it back. (At least in the present)
3.We stall for time in Provence Alpes Azur. We are currently trying to drag out the battle for as long as possible (while assuring that America wins). This gives us more time to prepare for step 4, and we might just be able to fight here depending on when FYROM attacks.
4. Retreat back to Amurica. After FYROM defeats us in Provence, they will NE France to get their bonuses (Presumably.) We are assuming that France will get wiped, FYROM will get a border with us, and we will NE them restarting our whole crusade against FYROM.
(More will be explained later.)
P.S- Thanks to Vanek26 who expertly explained all this.

😛Unity in More Than Name
Op-Ed by Editor NewAzazel
What holds us together makes us stronger.
I know you’re thinking right now that this administration likes to use the word unity a lot. AFA also likes to disparage this word quite a bit in their arguments against the administration. Listen to AFA, and you’ll think unity is a buzz word used to highlight some fake sense of coordination and coalition between the Top Parties to ensure the “elite” stays in power yet another term. Listen to older players and government officials and unity is the key to survival, the continuation of proper governance, and the survival of our nation.
But unity isn’t just a word, or a strategy, or rhetoric.
Unity is a concept that goes far beyond application in elections. Unity is what makes our Parties work together towards helping new players and advancing the next generation of this nation. Unity is what makes our parties work together in deciding the future leadership of this country. Unity is what makes all our various military units fight for the same nation and the same cause. Unity is what binds interactions between players in the meta-game, the fact that everyone knows they have a place and people to interact with. Yes, as a nation we love playing politics, and we love to fight, and we love to write and debate everything. Unity is what still makes each of us at our core an eAmerican. You can’t ship in unity from the outside. Unity is built and earned.
Regardless of what you think about this administration, it is not a closed door operation. Newer players are actively encouraged to be a part of the process, whether that is with the administration itself through the ambassadorship program and media team, or with your individual parties working on party activity and party structure. A month ago, I wouldn’t have thought I’d be editing the WHPR. Newer players are continually welcome, and we don’t have to throw out older and more experienced players to do so.
So when I hear arguments that the current administration is actively out to hurt our nation and destroy our prosperity, I am convinced these people must be playing an entirely different game. It may also be the case that they are just interested in gaining for themselves at the expense of others. If you look around you and don't notice the world falling apart, it's because the world isn't.

First for WHPR.
You can’t ship in unity from the outside. Unity is built and earned.
good work NewAzazel.
voted.
And DokJon as well, nice work.
we know this plan even before you post it. Hungarian troops fight for USA in Piedmont since DC. You will keep it with our assistance. Hungary won the war because we have tactic and strategy. Keep up the bad work maybe next time.
NOT BAD USA, NOT BA😨 http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/2145292/1/20
good bye jenkis
Cry Me a River
Awesome WHPR edition!
NewAzazel takes Custer's spot and does a damn good job!
Ernst: Hungary is winning because of the support it is getting from elsewhere, nothing more.
I would like to buy a damnburger..

@Artela: We didn't even have to put all our efforts in the minis. Hungary is stronger than it seems like in this war.
And why US doesnt have support? You have very helpfull allies.
Boated >😃
You forget STEP 5: Leave CTRL because they're a shower of useless c**ts and find some decent allies
Cry me a river
Artela is tanking against the USA. Joining AFA is the next step. Do not be surprised if you see such a move.
magyar verziót is írj
"all of our allies were busy at the time (including EDEN.)"
> allies
I'm sorry, what? You did this to yourself. And you pissed off a lot of your _former_ allies. Let's see who will fight for you again in the future.
Europa no Amerika🙂🙂,...good by!!!
wtf is USA ?
A sagittis Hungarorum, libera nos Domine
great article, V+S
A sagittis Hungarorum, libera nos Domine
~hyuu~
Is EDEN an American ally?
Amurica where's Poland?
LOL...
I am new and it sounds like our allies like Eden suck.
There are only a few countries of EDEN that have currently MPP with USA, since USA opted for cancelling most of the MPP's with EDEN countries in the preparation for the creation of CTRL. From what I recall the only EDEN countries of size that have currently MPP with USA are China and Croatia. Both of them have shown some support of USA, specially considering that Croatia is battling Indonesia in a close fight in Sumatra.
The problem for the USA is not having support from the countries of their own alliance, specially Spain and Poland.
I wonder when you will give up florida lol.
Good job, noob.

Go back to your kennel!

AFA! O7
unity my ass, to many people un happy about bonuses, im voting for the other guy and more everyday are doing the same, weak leadership weak america
good work on the article, also good simple explenation of the military plans. Unsure how prudent it is to play with cards out on the table like that unless it is a diversion in which case lalalalala etc.
Also, get your foreign policy together gals and guys, so the internal threats don't have an argument to make to spread the seed of doubt amongst you.

For the sake of balance:

So when i get to use my special stash of stuff? wtb a good fight, doing do is boring
Now you talk about unity? If you have listened what I have told you AFA wouldn't be the No1 party in eCongress. If you want an unity, politicians should be an example of that unity. You need to be ready to sacrifice your personal position and benefit for the good of the nation. But you weren't ready to do it, and you still aren't. You all care only for yourself and you doesn't care about the people at all.
The whole article is just a spin and throwing dust into the eyes of the nation.
Yes, we threw away those resource bonuses, so we could show that we didn't care about the people and push them to join AFA.
Semper5, you still need to answer my counter arguments. Don't repeat pointless comments here. Who are you again, and why should I listen to you?
haha bunch of hungarians thinking they're better than us
'Murica!

"In the event of a tie, a run off primary will take place via the eUSA forums, in which case all citizens are encouraged to make accounts on eusaforums.com."
No big surprise there, now is there. People asked for an open, in-game article poll, for Unity candidate, and you once again slapped them in the face. You have no control over an in-game poll, so you obviously can't have it there. You would think someone would have learned after the last election. Maybe next time.
I touhght u are tough enemy. Sry, I overestimated the jenkis.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFVdvXGIT34
Cyber Witch, SOME people asked for that. SOME people asked for forum poll. SOME people asked for run-offs in the parties.
Can't make 100% of the people happy here.
The people who asked for an article poll gave no suggestion as to how we could combat the flood of multi votes or weed through good guys and bad guys. Not a single person offered to help find a solution to obvious problems or do any of the grunt work.
I hope a run-off isn't necessary.
next time bring more burgers !! 😁
hey, Huns... you guys went into this round with a great advantage, and we backed off.
Yay for you, okay.. it's not like we threw everything we have into the fight and lost a big one, we simply blew it off and took the loss without a great waste of resources.
Hey slavemerica, keep your pants on. The genetically modified cheeseburgers are messing with you.
And start learning Macedonian, you would need it eventually.
Zoli for POTUS.
DokJon, I am a citizen of this country. In a certain way that makes me your employer. As I explain before, all persons in the government are employees of citizenst of eUSA. You can like it or not, but that's the way it is. I have told you what will gonna happen and it happened. I've also told you how you can beat AFA down, but you wouldn't listen. The ego of the elite is destroying this country. I might have injured your ego and I'm sorry.
