Who's the Enemy: Canada or Poland? (An Editorial) #2
Lanthanide
OK, so after further consideration, some of you who commented on a similarly titled article I published a few days ago may indeed be right: Poland is not our enemy. They have way more people than us, yet our resistance war with them is succeeding with flying colors. I shall never truly understand why alliancecs exist that force a party to give up power, but I suppose it may be in the interest of the common good.
On the other hand, I believe that our decision to attack Canada was very wise. I do not recant my statement that we attacked Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada was merely defending. However, we have increased our land and population greatly by attacking Canada, and our attack has worked with great success. Granted, a current resistance war in the aforementioned province isn't going so well (Canada's winning 65-56 at time of publication), but we now have possession of Quebec, and we are quashing Canada in Ontario, 71-6 at the time of publication, so Ontario will be ours by tonight.
Granted, though, now that we're in North America, we have a decision to make: where do we strike next? We could choose to attack Manitoba, but their largest city is Winnipeg. WINNIPEG! In my opinion, attacking Manitoba is just a step in the direction of getting to British Columbia. However, we can't attack the United States; they're our allies. In my opinion, we should attack to the north. Why, you may ask? Well, even though the northerly route is even less inhabited than Manitoba, it has more land, and we can go AROUND Manitoba to get to British Columbia. I mean, think about it: conquering Nunavut would give us a 20% bonus in food production if some of us were to move there, and it's a huge piece of real estate.
OK, so going via Nunavut instead of Manitoba is less direct. But really, if we go in a circle like that, we surround the Canadians, annihilate them, and take their land and citizens!
Sincerely,
Lanthanide
UPDATE: We're now winning 82-6 in Ontario. One more point, and it's ours.
Furthermore, I believe we should let Canada keep Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. This way, their country doesn't completely implode, and we could make them an ally in exchange for not destroying those provinces.

As MoD, its important to note we WANT Canada to win back Newfoundland & Labrador, as it blocks a Portugeuse attack on our flank. The eUK'ers have been fighting FOR Canada and the MoD has issued orders for such 😃
As I recently told Massacar, the idea of NFLD is actually very brilliant. I didn't know that our troops were fighting to let Canada get NFLD back, but that is pure genius! Because we attacked NFLD, we were able to get on the Canadian mainland, and after we took Quebec, it made sense to let them have NFLD because we were already there. We could expand westwardly, let them have NFLD, and use NFLD as a buffer. It's pure genius.
Making Canada an ally in exchange for not destroying those provinces you mention is worth a Nobel peace prize. USA had the same ideas when Canada was conquered last month. Tough negotiators, wouldn't agree to anything like that, they wanted it all back. Maybe if you'd get yourself into MoFA team you'd have more success than Americans?
Do you say that it's worth a Nobel Peace Prize because it wouldn't work or because it would work and you hadn't thought of it? Furthermore, I do understand that the Canadians are tough negotiators, but I think they'll accept the terms. If they don't, we conquer their Indian provinces. Then we'll let them claim what's left.
We had to lose NFL to prevent making a border with Portugal who would have used it to invade. It's good to see you're taking a keen interest, you will do well. Once you have more experience here in erepublik your articles are going to be quite informative I imagine.
I can see how NFLD would be a buffer province. That's actually quite brilliant. nice going! And I thank you for the compliment.
I must say I liked your previous article much more than this one. Where has your fighting spirit gone?
Norway is our enemy! So of course my dearest Norwegian adversary you liked the previous article better 😛
Oh silly Perry, our young friend here speaks the truth that we all know, Poland is evil, take your regions back!
It's not fighting spirit as much as it is newness. Once I get settled into things, I understand the alliances more completely and am able to give better insight. everything I say repeals everything I say before that.
