United Kingdom has been proposed as Natural Enemy.
Emerick
Yesterday, I pressed the button on the UK. I also asked Congress to vote it down. They did, for the most part. I didn't do this because I wanted to invade the UK, because that would be unforgivably stupid - I did it to send them a message. The message was not "We will fuck you up", nor was it "OH GOD HOW DARE YOU." The message I wanted to send was that "LOL I TROLL YOU" is not a sufficient diplomatic stance. And in my opinion, that's the UK's stance towards Ireland.
Also, stop derping around in Terra.
Now let me explain my logic: this whole mess started by LOL I TROLL U Brits who started a PTO project in Ireland. Now, with the UK joining Terra, and Terra and Eden's reliance on each other, this was an incredibly stupid idea. Then the UK invaded Belgium, while France and Germany were being super invaded. The strategic purposes of this was lost on me, and I think everyone, so I don't think anyone sent any assistance to fight Belgium, who has a stance of neutrality, and thought they used ONE's MPP's to take the war to Britain's homeland, equilibrium was reached, and they have peace now. The UK should count themselves lucky that they have such level-headed neighbors to the south. We are not so lucky.
During that short war, Irish tanks fought hard against the UK to show their displeasure with the UK's PTO actions. We've discussed this whole situation with UK leadership in Terra several times, with us and Canada stating perfectly clearly that Ireland is an ally of ours and an Eden member, so PTO actions against them is a threat to Eden and Terra's unity. We asked the UK leadership to attempt to bring this whole crisis to an end. They simply told us that they have no control over the project, and made it clear that they wouldn't even attempt to.
It almost appears that, to the UK, Terra's many wars were inconvenient to them, and they manufactured a crisis with Ireland because of herp derp and to get away from the inconvenient troubles that their soon to be former allies are still having. Because I'm fairly certain that the UK will be leaving Terra within 24 hours. If they don't, then I'll have a modicum of respect for them for not abandoning allies that they claim.
But my left brain wants me to simply believe that the UK is a country embroiled in bitter political turmoil over their country's foreign allegiance. To be honest, UK seems to be in political chaos over the issue, and were probably not ready to join Terra. In fairness, Terra also voted them in too hastily, in my opinion. Terran officials at that time, I believe, failed to take into account the division in the UK, and now we're paying for it.
So that's that. The UK has a motion in Parliament to leave Terra, and it's looking like it will pass. I held back my better judgement to open a vote in Terra to do some house-cleaning, hoping that nations less pissed at the UK right now would be able to help us through this, because I know that we're not in a position to so that, with our friendship with Ireland. Apparently diplomacy failed with them.
And that's all there is to say about that.
We have other, very strong ties in Terra, and we're thankful for them. Brozil has regained their country and closed the Polish war - that took under a week, so kudos to Brozil. I'm proud to have been a part of helping them regain their stability, and I look forward to their help regaining our own.
On the warfront, France and Portugal both regained their capital regions from Spain yesterday, so big shoutout to them for their victories.
We also regained our Croatian MPP today, after having it missing for about two weeks. I can't wait to see Croatian avatars moving across our battlefield, and to fight for Croatia again.
Two other old allies of ours - Rumania and Australia have been wiped from the map. Rumania is a tough case, because they're Hungary's only conquered regions, so a RW campaign in Hungary would probably be more difficult than the ones we've had in the past, but a RW campaign in Indonesia would be both easy and fun. Regardless, our displaced allies are welcome in the US if they choose to relocate during their hopefully brief period without a country.
China has taken the initiative against Servia, who's been trampling through Russia recently. China made their first attack tonight, and it's going very well. With American timezones followed by the Chinese prime time, this war could go very well for us, so let's give it our all with China~
At home, we've beaten Mexico today in Nevada but lost another region to Spain. We've been letting Spain drain their damage against us for almost a week now, while we focused on Brozil's war, and it's about time to turn things around. Look forward to less Spanish regions in the coming days. qablo. We're giving Canada New Jersey tomorrow, and then we'll take back the regions that we need - Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia.
Also, I spoke with a member of the British Parliament tonight on IRC, and he decided to publish portions of our conversation. You can read it here.

Dün, Birleşik Krallık NE yasası için düğmeye bastım. Aynı zamanda da meclise teklifi reddetmelerini söyledim. Bunu, BK’ı işgal etmek istediğimden değil, dalga geçmenin ya d trollemenin yeterli bir diplomasi şekli olmadığını göstermek içindi. Ki bu da zaten BK’ın Irlanda’ya karşı halihazırdaki tutumuydu.
Terra ile dalga geçmekten vazgeçin. Bu dalga geçme hadisesi bunların Irlanda’yı PTOlamaya çalışmasıyla başladı. Fransa ve Almanya savaştan geçilmezken bunlar gidip Belçika’yı işgale ettiler. Yatıp kalkıp dua etsinler ki güneylerindeki komşuları makul, bizimkiler gibi değil.
Bu kısa savaşta Irlandalı tanklar BK’ın pto denemesinden duydukları rahatsızlığı göstermek için çok sıkı savaştılar. Terra’da bu konuyu defalara konuştuk, Kanada’da Irlanda’yı müttefik olarak gördüğünden olası bir PTO denemesinin ittifaka tehdit olacağı konusunda anlaştık. Hükümetlerini bu konuda uyardık ancak açıkça bu durum üzerinde kontolleri olmadığını, ve karışmayacaklarını belirttiler.
Öyle görünüyor ki BK, -Terra’nın savaşları kendilerine uymamış olacak ki-, Irlanda’ya karşı kolpadan bir kriz çıkararak bu uygun olmayan savaşlardan kaçmayı umdu. 24 saat içinde Terra’dan ayrılacaklarına emin gibiyim, eğer aksi olursa müttefiklerini terketmedikleri için onlara olan saygım artacak. Ama beynimin sol tarafı Bk’ın müttefiklerinden çok siyasi çekişmeleriyle meşgul olduğunu söylüyor, bu yüzden belki de Terra’ya katılmak için bile uygun değillerdi. Bence, Terra yetkilileri zamanında BK’daki bu bölünmüşlüğü gözardı ettiler, ve şimdi bunun bedeli ödeniyor.
Böyleyken böyle, meclislerinde Terra’dan ayrılacakları konuşuluyor, kabul de görecek gibi. Irlanda ile olan dostluğumuz yüzünden buna karışacak durumda değiliz. Görülüyor ki diplomasi çabaları sonuçsuz kaldı.
Terra’daki diğer bağlarımız gayet güçlü, ve müteşekkiriz. Brozil topraklarını Polonya’dan 1 haftadan kısa sürede geri aldı, helal olsun. Onlarla bu yüzden gurur duyuyorum ve bizim bölgelerimiz için de aynısını yapmalarını umuyorum. Cephelerde, Fransa ve Portekiz bölgelerini Ispanya’dan geri aldılar, onlara da koca birer bravo. Hırvatistan ile olan MPP’yi de 2 hafta aradan sonra yeniledik. İki müttefiğimiz Romanya ve Avustralya ise haritadan silindiler. Romanya geçmiştekilerden zor olacak çünkü olası isyan savaşlarında Macaristan’ın işgal ettiği tek toprak onlarınki. Avustralya ise eğlenceli olacak.
Çin, Rus topraklarında ilerleyen Sırplar’a karşı insiyatifi eline aldı. Kendi zaman dilimimizin de yaklaşmasıyla bu savaşa tüm gücümüzle asılmamız lazım.
Yurdumuzda bugün Meksika’yı Nevada’da mağlup ettik ama Ispanyollara bir bölge kaybettik. Brozilya’nın savaşlarına konsantre olurken diğer yandan da neredeyse bir haftadır Ispanyollara bütün damagelerini bitirtiyoruz. Önümüzdeki günlerde işgal ettikleri bölgeleri azaltmayı umuyoruz. qablo, bugün New Jersey’i Kanada’ya vereceğiz, sonra da Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland, ve West Virginia’yı geri alacağız.

As one who wears a redcoat, I do wonder why we joined in the first place. And I do wonder why we just decided now to leave.
lol
your TROLL was EPIC!
Where was this Emerick in the meetings with China when Japan was down to just two regions? I don't mean to bag on TERRA but following the way to being an EDEN satellite is beyond retarded, it defeats the purpose of being TERRA an alliance of its own. We didn't learn this with Turkey, TERRA watched while China invaded us, with there PTO'd country of North Korea. Then to top it all off we paid to have our regions back and obtain peace, after that China refuses to give us our region and instead shoves a rental agreement down our throat, while saying you have no choice either get paid or don't we are keeping your region. TERRA sat idly by, USA advised to take the deal for the betterment of TERRA and EDEN relations. Now we are throwing UK under the bus for following it's own interest, simply because it's was an EDEN nation? Why should TERRA care when EDEN does not care about TERRA member nation's sovereignty.
TL😉R Version, lets hop off EDEN's nut sack since they are obviously not living up to the standards they hold us too.
''Also, stop derping around in Terra.''
This just summed my thoughts.
Good question. Where was the USA when China invaded Japan?
This was a good read.
Nothing of value will be lost
It's a real shame, because Alfagrem would be a fantastic friend.
As it is, he is a fantastic opponent.
Shame.
@Zoli
Busy with EDEN lodged firmly inside them
They're leaving?
9_9
>TL😉R Version, lets hop off EDEN's nut sack since they are obviously not living up to the standards they hold us too.
Without Eden, we'd all get wiped by NWO. If you think that Romper running around in Poland right now isn't awesome for us, then I don't know what to say.
And the situation with you and China was different. If worse came to worse, you know that we would have been there. With a border on them. With Terran support.
And perhaps Eden support too, because pressure from Eden HQ is the reason China ended up coming to the table in the first place. Because unlike us, they were able to get the message across that their spat wasn't worth throwing away our security. Then again though, China doesn't have a Servia to lean on if they decide to back out of their current alliance obligations.
Point is, Eden knows as well as we do that we need to work together, and we're far from subservient to them.
Also note that you now make more gold than we do right now.
>They're leaving?
Most likely, yes.
Fantastic as this article sounds,
Alfred's frustration is well noted, but then again, without TERRA/EDEN representative, we'd be singing MAO IS GREAT every morning.
So when are we getting more regions from canada?
"Without Eden, we'd all get wiped"...so true Emerick
Terra is not an alliance or brolliance or anything you call it. It is just a bunch of countries surrounding the USA that you use to block entrance for your opponents.
You're very right. Without Brozil there, we'd be in for a major invasion from South Africa.
Face it, Zoli. Not every country is as arrogant and self-centered as yours. There are reasons that Penix fell apart, and Hungary's selfishness was a major one.
'a RW campaign in Indonesia would be both easy and fun'
I can attest to that.
@Zoli, LOL. As if ONE isn't an alliance to fulfill the wet dreams of 4 countries, the so called core members with Hungary being the mastermind behind all this shit...
So Hungary's selfishness is bad, USA's selfishness is good? Seems to me you have double standard
Hungary's selfishness is cool, especially when it involves wiping out Rumenia.
Free Aussie so we can erase it again
Erase Aussie from the map is both easy and fun
As a neutral in this, I must ask why Canada is holding on to Northern Ireland despite it being clear that the UK government want it back?
I don't want to start any RL arguments about Ireland here, but do you know anything about this Emerick?
Canada has held NI for a while, before this issue started, so couldn't that could be a cause for the current bad UK-Terra relations?
Just wondering.
The UK is being pretty U-gay
voted!
Hail Russia!
Hail USA!
Hail Terra!
Fail UK!
"Hungary's selfishness is cool, especially when it involves wiping out Rumenia."
I second that
Emerick, it's ROmania, not RUmania. : D
nice article emerick
about Terra aliance histori isnt done in 2 months it grows with time, EDEN lost 3 founding states but it stil gows one states know each other and to be honest we don't have chance divided we fall
tera fill become fine aliance if states dont become like UK
If you decide to make a visit and have a cup of tea, I'll be there. They sure deserve it.
UK being spineless again - where's the surprise?
With UK leaving, Terra might actually make it! 😁
Voted
>So Hungary's selfishness is bad, USA's selfishness is good? Seems to me you have double standard
You might have a point if the US had any sort of selfish foreign policy. Making yourself believe whatever you want to doesn't make anyone else believe it, no matter how hard you wish.
Where is Turkish version?
What Alfred and Martin said.
With EDEN occupying our regions, fighting against us at every opportunity, we have had enough of this shit.
If UK leaves Terra, it was because of your own spineless attitude towards EDEN.
Good article.
Anyone up for wiping eUK?
Tomazim talks such BS...
I don't see any Eden nations occupying any UK regions.
United Faildom is UF.
So, eUSA is draining Spanish´s damage. Aham. Until when?
I liked the article, I was doubting if you wrote it, because it´s not your style, but anyway.
No, they aren't occupying Northern Ireland at all.
Just as in real life... U.K. Messing with Ireland.
I STAND READY TO KILL REDCOATS
is a better owl
Nobody cares what you think America. If any Terra country wants to entreaty us to do anything, then it's going to be France, Germany, Brozil or Argentina. You lot we don't give a toss about. Other than Thatcher.
PS, you tanked against us in our own damn region. Next time you RW one of your regions we'll go and tank for the enemy and see how you like it eh?
This is sad. Just keeping ignoring Northern Ireland. It isnt occupied at all.
﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ thanks for translation
They mucked us around, you ignored us. EDEN mucked us around, you ignored us. We try to do anything, you ignore us. If Terra was just going to be EDEN+, you should have said so and shouldn't have invited us.
good article
Why on earth is there a turkish translation on the eUSA's president's article? Just becase someone asked for one? O.o
