Hello again readers, and for those new to my article, a brief explanation: I give major US news, with some opinions thrown in there, there are four main subjects (War, Politics, Alliances/MPPs, and world news), all of which will not be covered if I find that news isn't worthy of being covered, like a new political party with 2 members or a war that we won 8-0, and wasn't recurring. With all that said, thanks for reading (whether you V + S or not I still love readers) and I hope you can come to enjoy my writing

.
So, with that being said let's dive in to days 326-333 (Power outages are a bitch :L).
War
Resistance Wars - Resistance wars on the Cork/Kerry and CEC coasts continue to rage, and by rage I of course mean attempt to drain the Americans from fighting in the other wars around the world. Over the last week we’ve had a total of 10 Resistance wars sparked to drain us; I’ll fill you in on how those went. Our record in the wars will be displayed, as well as how many there were. They will be numbered chronologically, 1 being the first of the week, the final being the last number.
Cork/Kerry: (5) 5-0
1. 8-4
2. 8-0
3. 8-0
4. 8-5
5. 8-0
Last battle: Day 330
Canadian East Coast: (5) 5-0
1. 8-1
2. 8-0
3. 8-2
4. 8-2
5. 8-0
Last battle: Day 330
As you can see, these haven’t exactly been close, no real attempts were made on us this week, but enough that we had to take the wars seriously to keep the land.
Wars around the world - Now then, important wars to America covered by the DoD outside of our Country, with our allies on the right, and a W/L with rounds next to it as well, if it’s a resistance war the country resisting will have RW before their name, if it’s a war to conquer land I’ll put a H next to it to show the defending country (H=home). These are also in Chronological order of each day, so if some things pop up more than once you’ll know why.
Poland (W) vs (RW) Lithuania (L) 8-4
(H) Serbia (L) vs Romania (W) 8-2
China (L) vs (RW) Indonesia (W) 8-2
Poland (W) vs (H) Russia (L) 8-1
Poland (L) vs (RW) Lithuania (W) 8-6 (the final round was an insane 49 Million vs 45 Million damage)!
Serbia (W) vs (H) Hungary (L) 8-4
Poland (W) vs (RW) Russia (L) 8-2
China (L) vs (H) Indonesia (W) 8-2
Serbia (L) vs (H) Hungary (W) 8-1
United Kingdom (W) vs (H) Ireland (L) 8-5
Understand some wars were not finished upon the writing of this, and thus some wars may not show up. Our official DoD record is as follows this week: 5-5, not included some drain wars on our home front.
While we were 3-1 against Poland, I think that’s a strong sign of the future, as I said last week a crack in the foundation is always expected when you’re attempting to topple an empire.
Politics
NAR - This week a pretty crazy event happened, NAR basically gave out they were a communist party. Prior to this they were a very strong up-and-coming party, preaching their values to the newer members in order to gain steam and membership. But, after this week they basically announced to the world their communist beliefs, and it’s really started an uproar in the community.
Communism is a great idea, but it never actually works in real life because of people not wanting to work for their country because they get paid the same. While the NAR is preaching about communism and the little man having no voice, I could not disagree any more. All the programs our country provides clearly shows we do care about everyone: PewPew, HoW, and op Cornucopia and our growth has clearly shown all this. I even found an article after writing this saying the exact same thing, by Liquid Homicide nonetheless!
Communism would effectively kill the economy, and basically make companies worthless, not to mention the gold that we get would be useless unless we traveled with it. Communes work in small quantities like MUs, don’t expand it to a COUNTRY with over a thousand people, it won’t work in real life or in E-sim.
Presidential Candidature – You have until the 5th to submit your candidature for the President of the United States, as of now the only people trying for President are current President Pfeifer and TequilaSunset.
National Referendum – This was a bit of a joke in order to give people the Referendum achievement, but it was a YES or NO question, YES meaning Pfeiffer is the greatest president, NO meaning he is a great president. It ended with YES being the winner 198-147.
Other – Q3 Defense systems were deployed in Cork/Kerry and the CEC, new taxes for Estates are: VAT: 5%, Import tax: 15%, Income Tax: 10%, and finally the US accepted $28,445.63 USD this week.
MPPs
MPPs this week in America are as follows:Columbia (only proposed, hasn’t been accepted in 6 days).
Nothing else has really popped up in America as far as MPPs go.
World News
With the world still in a rage of wars in the power struggle continuing strongly, the US and their allies seem to be getting on even footing with the world, proving they aren’t one to be bullied around and they plan on standing up for their values in the face of tyranny and oppression. A stunning 316 events have happened in the last 7 days, wars galore. With countries like Indonesia standing up to Chinese attacks, Brazil declaring war on Portugal with only one area left in their possession, Canada beating out South Korea, Poland and Lithuania in their usual power struggles (which unfortunately it looks like Poland has won for now), and battles being fought all around the world.
As we progress, it seems as though these wars have no intention of slowing down. Land is being taken over and handed back left and right, damage is racing daily, and we continue to approach the year mark of e-sim. Understand that while they may seem to have an upper hand now, we’re slowly gaining momentum and strength in order to defeat them. The world is spiraling into war, and we all have a front seat to the mayhem and carnage.
Final thought
We need to look at this chaos and start mentally prepping for the possibility of the United States being attacked, I remember being occupied by Russia, and I wouldn’t want to go through that again… as I’m sure most of you all wouldn’t as well. With our choice to stand against the massive alliances, we stood up for what we believe. Principles can sometimes get you killed, but if you fall in the heat of battle fighting for what you believe in you’ve met an honorable end. While our alliance may be crushed into ruin, we gain the power to do the same each and every day. The odds are stacked against us, but adversity is the best way to test your strength.
Our country is strong, our brothers around the world are strong, we are knit tightly together in the face of an oppressive empire that wants to abolish us in the name of petty rivalries and land. We must know that should we perish, our citizens will allow our ashes to be spread evenly, and in our destruction a mighty phoenix will be reborn, our nation, and grow to destroy any shadow of a doubt that our power and liberty cannot be simply smashed out, we are American citizens, and every country big or small deserves a chance, all-powerful alliances are meant to decay and crumble for those who wish to take the corrupted torch away from them by force, and pierce the inner-grunge with the purity they in turn possess.
Read this and be influenced by my words, our time will come, and when it does we will do the right thing with it, not abuse it and turn it into a thing just as corrupt as the previous empires. As always, love and respect one another, and you may gain rewards from your labors.
