Where one falls, another rises.

Whether we like it or not eRepublik changes everyday. It's not just about updates in game features, about which we all probably have the same opinion, but also I think about position of particular countires. The superpowers of yesterday, mostly now are only bit players. Who still remember glorious days of Sweden or Hungary? Handful. As much as I’m patriot, I am pretty sure best days of Poland have gone with the wind and there are no prospects for another Baby Boom, which could bring us back to the pedestal. Last, tough campaign against Slovenia and Serbia showed that we still have potential and will to fight but we are not as strong as we were once. What is more, large territory and popularization of Combat Orders make war even more expensive which, combined with low taxes, can lead the country to ruin. Plans about another pink circle around the world should be shelved alongside fairy tales. And what about Serbia? Since the founding of Sirius, they constantly have some troubles. Croatia, Bosnia and Albania time after time come back to Balkans, disturbing serbian calmness. Can't be forgotten, that recently Chile erased them, with bonus of course, but still. Serbia is no longer the same giant as before, in front of which all enemis were shaking with fear. In this game nothing last forever and just like in real life where one falls, another rises. Which one? For me definitely Argentina.
Maybe it’s exaggeration to call Argentina eRepublik’s Rockefeller, but there is some truth in it. They started with huge Baby Boom over a year ago and remained neutral for some time, then made themselves proTWO to finally become founder of Asteria. Presently, Argentina is one of the most populated countries, with fair number of regions around the world and highest amount of Country Power points. This would not be possible if they had not abandoned thier holy crusade against Chile. Despite the fact that they are in antagonictic alliances, with NAP signed, they are doing quite well. Dividing lands in South America, Africa and Australia they not only secured all resources for both countries, but also created circumstances to conquer new areas, normally inaccessible.
Using all potential only for protection of resources, would be nonsense and wastage. Fortunately or unfortunately, we can not accuse Argentina of those things. They erased Spain form the map and are able to keep this state for more than month so far. I am not saying it was or is easy, nobody should disrespect Spain, but still. Nevertheless, I hope that ‘plum color’ quickly returns. Argentina also chased away Croatia from India, and invited some allies without cores to share with them Hindi Pie. Peru, Canada, Uruguay and Iran did this with gladness.
Lately, this new superpower have a big share in destroying Sirius. First, Brazil left our alliance and signed NAP with Argentina, then also MPP. In reward for it, they received some of their regions back. Can we be angry because of that? Obviously we can not. Sirius could not do anything to liberate Brazil despite the attempts. For me it's clear, homeland always on the first place. After this long occupation some decision had to be taken, evan if it was so radical. I was very pleased to work with Brazil and had such an ally. All I can say now is good luck.
The hot news of last days in eRepublik is that US was thrown out from Sirius. Believe me or not, but Argentina again had a hand in this. It's of course about NAP between this two countries. Currently, non Aggression Pact is nothing spectacular and surprising, so why such a harsh reaction from the alliance? Guess who promised to help Spain and the next day signed the treaty with Argentina? You can not sit on two, remoted chairs at the same time, even if you are US. Sirius now consist of only european countries and its seems that is on inclined plane. The Argentina’s tactics is quite easy, but effective: take our side or you'll be erased.
Forever and ever yours,

SURPRISE ANSCHLUSS MODE: ON
Btw, Chile is even richer than Argentina. I've never ever seen Chilean CO that is less than 30cc (in D4, of course) while majority of countries struggle to put even 10cc.
Who would win in a hypothetical fight between Argentina and Chile? Couldn't be predicted.
Serbia is on the top for at least 4 years, we've done everything possible in this game and have no challenges left. We are totally bored and even fights like vs Poland recently can't keep our attention for more than a few days. When Chile erased us no one cared (partially because of their determination bonus).
Also, I guess many people have never played any game for 5 years without stopping. I know I haven't (and there are many better games than eRep to spend your time on). Having that in mind, it's strange how we are still here.
Probably the same situation is in Poland.
Long story short - Europe is old and tired of this game with no motivation left for anything, South America has only "recently" started playing, they're young (Chile especially) and full of energy.
So, yes, despite bigger European raw damage, Chile and Argentina are top superpowers now.
Very nicely worded! 🙂

Nice read, its definitely true that the old European powerhouses seem to have run out of steam, having accomplished everything there is to accomplish there's nothing really new a country like Serbia or Poland can aim for, apart from wipe each other, but neither seems to have the stomach for that. And with Poland near-single-handedly wiping the US last year pretty much removed for ever the challenge wiping the US once posed to European countries -- so what else is left to do?
One thing that could give this game a last lease of life is if something substantial came from TETAS, i.e. a fullblown South American alliance featuring a core of Arg/Chile/Brazil etc., plus a few other nonEuropean countries like China, Indo etc., and possibly with a couple of the European powers currently unaligned with the big two alliances. A situation like that would demand a united Europe to effectively deal with them, which would be a challenge in itself and more than likely impossible to accomplish. In all likelihood TETAS will outlast both Sirius and Asteria, so who knows if something might emerge from it...
"You can not sit on two, remoted chairs at the same time"
Yeah, that's reserved only for Spain 😃DDD

The new traderoute rules will change the world. Neighbours have to be enemies less, because of the bonus for distant colonies. May be that continental alliances will be build in the near future.

very good!
Well it's good to see that Argentina's been using their empire stronk power to help their allies at least. How long before it all comes down to resources as it ends up being with most superpowers. Time will tell

Serbia and Poland are still most powerful countries. The problem is their old community. They have seen alliances rising and falling and been allied with almost every country in the world. There's nothing exciting left for them. Of course we can wipe them out with x2 bonus, but 1v1 wouldn't seem feasible. All they need to unlock their potential again is a challenge and motivation. Giving a spark would awake sleeping giants.

los de EEUU estan en peligro. por eso firmaron NAP con argentina
Great article my friend! Nothing still forever but is a great moment for Argentina and his allies!
les dije que tomaramos todos los paises que quisieramos, y eso hicimos, no es nada mas
There is still one thing left, Cro-Serb mpp.
I think that there could be one thing done, but it would require all countries to co-operate. What I mean is some kind of tournament. I had an idea that all countries come back to their cores (mission impossible) and try to make as balanced alliances as possible. They shouldn't be looking at if they are friends or enemies. Those countries would be allow to fight directly until they aren't erased (after this they could still fight through mpps.) I think this would bring some fun into the game.
