English version. As written in "The Cry Of The People" on Jan. 5, 2009.
Let me state something here: This was a paper supporting the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in Russia. No doubt it is going to be received with much hatred in eRomania and with much spam denouncing it. I do not care. You are entitled to your freedom of speech.
Author's Note:
I've been a part of eRussia for about all of my eRepublik existance. I went there after I heard it was liberated from Norway; I hoped to make my new home a respectable power and I vowed never to let corruption destroy it.
My...how foolish was I. Our troubles ranged from a near take-over to a political stab in the back by eRomania.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listen closely and hear the story of the tragic tale of eRussia:
In the beginning of the fledgling country, there was FRP (Free Russia Party), CPSU (Communist Party - Soviet Union), and, later, BCP (Black Core Party). The newly liberated eRussia began rule under the CPSU. The communist party, with its communes, tried implementing GOSPLAN. The idea was to have Government-run Communes in each region, paying the same wage, and eliminating the need for competition and greed. We were so close, my friends, to fulfilling our goal...
Tensions had always been high between the FRP and CPSU. The FRP stood for Capitalism while the Communists stood for Socialism. The arguing and fighting went on and on, with both battling for Political control. As the upcoming presidential elections neared, all three major parties prepared to name their candidates. Then Nemeiah showed up. Supported by the Fair Russia, this so-called savior came telling us of "how [he] had plans for eRussia to make us great". Nevertheless, we did not believe him. Uniting together under CPSU leader Manifesto, we saved eRussia temporarily. Communist and Capitalist, Russian and non-Russian; we united under the one common goal of saving our homeland.
Unfortunately my friends, this would be short lived.
We struggled on, making it through the CitizenTravis scandal. After the Committee on Challenged Elections and Ballots discovered the use of multi's in voting, we tried to implement a new voting system for government positions. It was all in vain. The CPSU lost control of Congress and soon the Presidency.
FRP began mass recruitment. They searched over the internet, inviting friends to join to rid the "commies" of their power. The media was full of words such as "eRussia is for Russians!" and "real-life Russians". Extreme nationalism came into play. The FRP, supported by many Russians harvesting "anti-commie" feelings won the majority of Congress. They claimed that only a Russian speaking individual would be allowed in Congress. Right here, many members voiced cries of concern and unfairness, quoting that "All eRepublik citizens were created equal." It was not so...
With the loss of CPSU power, we saw the liberation of Moscow from Norway. Nemeiah, a traitor to all of the Russian people, negotiated a deal with Norway President Salve to start a resistance war in the region. Opinions on this matter ranged from "Nemeiah wanting a resistance hero medal" to just "wanting to do something good for eRussia." The CPSU hung back, wary of this resistance war. Meanwhile, the FRP wholeheartedly liberated the region, proud to have back Russian soil.
What a mistake...
With eRomanians helping liberate the region, it was over in no time. Before we knew it, eRepublik was full of news of war. War between eRomania and eRussia. They began by taking over the Moscow Region; which shared a border with eRomania. The eRussians called for help, and yes we received it. Most of the help came from PEACE nations, whom eRussia created several MPP's with. We vowed not to let eRomania gain the Western Siberia region. We planned to fight to our eCitizen's death for it.
eRomania claimed they wanted Western Siberia for its resources and its border with a PEACE member. We received reports telling us that they would return all eRussia regions other than Western Siberia and help liberate our lost ones. We didn't believe it and eRussia still does not.
We fought on. The eRomanians discovered that they could not take some regions so they began starting a resistance war in Norway, hoping to open another front to Western Siberia. They created diversionary attacks in less-prominent regions of eRussia, hoping to cause PEACE to waste weapons and wellness. As it looked like the war would drag on and on, eRomania turned to politics.
It will forever be known as a "political back stab". With Presidential elections in eRussia nearing, eRomania formulated its plan. A letter posted by the eRomanian Minister of Foreign Affairs in Finland reads:
"Dear citizens of Finland,
As a final step in my mandate as eRomanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, I would like to present you the line of events in our engagement on the Russian front.
About a week ago, the Romanian Army, with the approval of the Norwegian President Salve, crossed the Norwegian border in order to start a Resistance War in the Moscow region and successfully attached the region to Russia, opening a common border with Russia. Consecutively, Romania declared war on Russia and occupied the region without significant resistance.
Our next move was to start a Resistance War in the Northern Region (again in Norway, with proper acceptance from the Norwegian leadership) in order to create a link to the Russian Western Siberian region, which was the military target of this campaign, a region with high iron, wood and oil resources, which, except iron, are not available in eRomania. After an unsuccessful attempt (for whatever reasons), we have achieved to liberate the Northern Region and to prepare the next steps.
In the mean time, Russia has successfully secured MPP’s with 6 PEACE countries, among which Indonesia, Italy and Iran, which we consider to be great military powers of the New World. Romania benefitted from the great support from allied Atlantis troops but nevertheless, as aggressors, stood without MPP’s and with a thin backup due to the global war.
Next followed a direct military confrontation in the battle for the Northern Region, a battle which broke many records in of the warfare in the New World, the Romanian Army placing a incredible amount of damage and defeating the strongest armies of the PEACE alliance, all fighting “from home”, with the aid of the MPP’s. This incredible achievement was secured in parallel to a very serious engagement of the Romanian Army in the Argentine war, where we have secured a more than fair amount of damage.
Of course, even with this overwhelming victory, PEACE forces were doubting our ability or determination to invest an enormous amount of resources in securing our military objectives and, much like everybody else, were expecting French Toast all over again.
Our only valid options were to direct our efforts in two distinct directions:
1. Consuming as much as possible the resources of our enemies before the next all-out confrontation
2. Convincing the PEACE alliance that there WILL BE a next all-out confrontation and distracting their attention from our war tactics.
We have used a fair amount of propaganda and the Romanian Intelligence Service had many sleepless nights, but I have to say we had a lot of fun. Ombrone (the italian officer who “flanked” me) and I “danced” a lot in several articles and it felt a little like the Cold War, which was great.
Militarily, we have opened every 23 hours and 57 minutes new regions (Black Earth region, Volga-Vyatka and then Black Earth again), in order to consume the resources of our enemies and to keep the war initiative in our hands, achieving to convince the PEACE alliance to invest around 200k - 250k in damage placed in evasive manoeuvres. Of course, PEACE intelligence realized that we pull an erosion tactics, so that only a part of the estimated damage was heavily resource-consuming. Nevertheless, the Battle for the Northern Region closing at -4k in damage, we were credible in our effort.
Yesterday morning, day 411 of the New World, official eRepublik time 23:58, a Romanian agent was nominated for Presidential Elections in Russia and entered the race (no bug, trust me, just a severe misunderstanding of what “official eRepublik time” means). Both presidential candidates in Romania with credible chances of success decided to support this mission, even if endangering their own campaign back home.
Yesterday evening, more than 150 members of the Romanian Army crossed the Norwegian borders again, prepared to change the results in the Russian elections. Yesterday, day 412 of the new world, 09:30 eRepublik time, our troops crossed the Russian border from Norway and secured the presidential office in Russia.
Today, we will trigger the following line of events. Romania will open new battles in the Volga-Vyatka and Western Siberian Regions, as we have kept the war initiative and we will have it until the closure of the Black Earth region (which is tonight, approx. 11:56 eRepublik time). The Russian President will then use the “Retreat Troops” button in every region, thus capitulating in the name of Russia all battles, more than 12 hours before the President Impeachment becomes effective.
As a consequence, all Russian regions will be annexed to Romania and Russia will cease to exist on the map of the New World. All MPP’s will PEACE will be automatically erased, so will all Hospitals and Defence Systems.
Checkmate.
So, what will happen next? First, we will install a Q5 Defence System and a Q5 Hospital in the Western Siberian region, which we have in stock for way before this campaign ever started. It will be our third full-Q5 region, which we intend to keep indefinitely. Our troops will remain stationed in the Western Siberian region until we have moved enough population in oder to make the wall safe enough.
The resources we have gathered for an “all-out” conquer (which would have created us some economic difficulties with all the “f***k Sparta” propaganda), scenario which was FEASIBLE bit economically toxic, will be kept for defense or preemptive strikes on any aggression upon our new or old territory.
Russia had to be wiped out, in order to kill the MPP’s and to enforce a rapid peace and to avoid another French scenario. Russia will be liberated probably, but this is no longer my job. Smif, the new Romanian president, as well as the Romanian congress have full authority to decide on this matter and to negotiate with the ex-Russian leadership.
The resources conquered will be put to good use, to all interested countries with whom we are not at war with. As we came to the conclusion that economy canot follow the artificial paths described by foreign politics, I guess both Atlantis and PEACE countries lacking those resources can benefit from them. We will make sure to adjust our tax system to make the exploitation of these resources profitable for everybody. Of course, the very high competitivity for the human resources in Romania are encouraging foreign countries to send their own people for mining, lumbering and drilling operations, our permanent military presence in Western Siberia will ensure a peaceful and stable environment for everybody.
Being my last day in office, I would like to thank both our allies, for being there for us and trusting us in our complicated tactics (which often led to misinformation, we are sorry about that) and our “enemies”, the brave soldiers and commanders of the PEACE alliance, which gave us great fights and a lot of thrills.
May we meet again and have a quality experience together!
Kind regards,

Just before elections were over in eRussia, another candidate appeared on the list. An eRomanian candidate. With many eRomanians crossing the border to vote for their man, they succeeded in their plan of the destruction of eRussia. After "lic_ptg" was elected, it was a simple task to end the war and cede all the territory to eRomania. This was the end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note: I highly criticize eRomanian tactics. It was deceitful and a crime against all eCitizens of eRepublik. You for one have lost respect in my eyes and in many other nations eyes. I look forward to the day when eRussia is freed from your grasp. I thank you for reading this and I look forward to your "wonderful" comments.
