Antioch and Princess Carmesina asked the intervention of Eastern Roman Empire army to liberate again the regions.

Alliance Army easily liberated the Regions of Edessa and Tripoli and expelled the Persians invaders, putting back in her throne Princess Carmesina and having new WA Delegates to be elected.

Additionally Eastern Roman Empire Alliance conquered the Persians capital cities of Babylon, Susa, Pasargadae, Eqbatana and put them under its colonized Region of Achaemenid Empire for having the Persians to remember their past, their present and their future in relation with Eastern Roman Empire Alliance.

Antioch joins the ERE Alliance

The Confederation of Greater Syria (Regions of Antioch run by Antioch, Tripoli run by Princess Carmesina and Edessa, similarly run by Princess Carmesina) asked to join Eastern Roman Empire Alliance.

Their application was thoroughly examined and it was decided to become accepted.

Recent news from the Alliance and around NS

During the last two weeks many interesting events took place in 01 ERE Alliance and in NS as a whole. Among them we need to mention here the following:

a. The death of Bromannikha, King of The Last Kingdom, that our Alliance was in a war. The sad event followed by our 'pause" in the war, while our enemies mourn their lost leader. Even though impolite provocations have not been stopped by TLK Minister of Foreign Affairs and his puppets, who tries to solve his personal problems through a continuous bipolar behaviour.

b. Transfer of 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region nations to 01 ERE Alliance Headquarters Region continues normally and smoothly and 246 nations have been already made the new region their home. During the next few days we expect the rest of the remaining nations in the old region to relocate as well.

c. Western Roman Empire continues and deepens the discussions and the negotiation with our Allies of Glorious Praetorian Empire and the Praetorian Empire to join 01 ERE Alliance and to create simultaneously an Alliance with these two regions inside the whole Alliance (like Eurozone in European Union).

d. New Allied Regions and new Colonies have been added in our Alliance during the last days. Among these Allies Balkan Peninsula, MACEDONIA and Western Thrace, while among the new Colonies ADN, Achaemenid Empire and Podgorica complete the Alliance map.

e. The first 10 nations from all over 01 ERE Alliance that lead the Alliance Nations Championship game after 160 days are:

1. Lonskarvia 960 (01 ERE Alliance HQ)

2. Imperium Romaniae 820 (Empire of the Romans)

3. Bujidao 590 (Hellenic Civilization)

4. - 5. Berengere Sauniere 430 (Empire of the Romans)
Corfu Island 430 (Greek Islands)

6. Higemaru 270 (Greece)

7. Sebastos 250 (Empire of the Romans)

8. The Three Planets 230 (01 ERE Alliance HQ)

9. Hellenic Miracle 200 (Hellenic Civilization)

10. Naj Hannah 190 (Empire of the Romans)

Westmoore etc.

Another remarkable Intel affair was completed today by infiltrating The Last Kingdom military base of Westmoore.

The region was "secured" and password protected when our Allied soldiers had a pleasant parade there, proving to TLK losers their weaknesses for one more time.

Our intel has also informed today the leaders of the non-Allied regions of Ontario and Nova Scotia about an invasion that their region would suffer from TLK raiding forces.

Again Alliance Intel did a superb job.

Glory to 01 ERE Alliance and its Glorious members !!

The Council of Narnia leaves 01 ERE Alliance

The Council of Narnia Region decided today to leave from 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance ...

The Majestic Era of The Narnian Council

Received: 3 hours ago

Greetings ~

I'm contacting you on a grave business. The Council of Narnia held its leadership summit today, and many controversial topics were discussed, with solid conclusions being drawn as of today. As part of the many reforms we are making, CoN has decided to abdicate from the 01 ERE Alliance. If I must, I will elaborate on the reasons, but please be aware that in no way will our region be altering its course, despite how you may respond. Many of our members disagree with what has been happening in 01 ERE, and are frustrated that its quite inactive, and doesn't put emphasis on the WA. Especially since we gained a powerful enemy on the basis of being part of an alliance that isn't doing alot for CoN, as it stands anyway. So from now on, we Narnians declare ourselves neutral to those of 01 ERE. We have no wish to join with TLK, especially since they've become quite hostile towards us, but will establish our own independent connections. However, this does not mean that we are unwilling to resume open communication with those of 01 ERE. We have just simply handed over our official membership. You may withdraw your embassy in our region, close off our forum access and remove me and my officials from 01 ERE Government.

I sincerely apologise to you for this inconvenience.

Respectfully yours,

~ The Lord Chancellor

The rest Regions wish to them "Live long and prosper" ...

We will be here if you need us ...

TLK invasions turned into a fiasco

The Last Kingdom continued her provocations today against our Alliance, invading unsuccessfully our Allied Regions of Greek Macedonia, Salonica, Konstantinoupolis and later on Istanbul.

Our local Generals won easily the invaders and kicked their backs out of our Regions turning them into running to escape defeated and humiliated once again.

It is maybe a habit for TLK militarists to behave as losers.

01 ERE parade in TLK Military heart

An impressive parade took place in AFTK Training Ground, the military heart of The Last Kingdom, password protected region, proving to our enemies that 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance will make their life harder and harder during the coming days.

Ithaca invasion

FRA and TLK joint forces invaded in Ithaca a 6 days ago through a regime against legal WA Delegate of Homeric Odyssey.

During these days 6 times more enemy's forces fight against Ithaca forces, who defend the Region.

Recent news from 01 ERE

Recent News from 01 ERE Alliance:

1. Alliance acquired Praetorian Empire Region a few hours ago. Praetorian Empire and Glorious Praetorian Empire will grow now together and united in peace inside 01 ERE Alliance.

2. The Council of Narnia proposal for a Fair Trial was voted by more than 105 WA Delegates and so now it will become a Resolution for voting among NS WA Delegates.

Congratulations to our Allied Region The Council of Narnia.

3. 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance is at WAR with The Last Kingdom and its satellites regions ...

Our Alliance will win at the end against the Axis of Dark ...

A new era will rise in NS ...

Imperator's succession

Introducing myself, as Prince Alexander of Byzantine Glory, I announce to 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region and 01 Eastern Roman Empire Alliance, that I succeed Byzantine Glory in his role ...

I took Founder's rights in this Region that will become our Alliance HQ, as also I was given the admin rights and intelligence info in our Chat Forum, Blogspot site, Freeweb site etc.

Byzantine Glory facing serious personal problems will be unable to continue running the Alliance ...

I take with pride his ring and I call all nations from 01 ERE to relocate here by the end of this month ...

01 ERE relocates

In order to organize our Alliance things more effectively, I call all the nations of 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region to relocate in our new Region "01 ERE Alliance Headquarters" till the end of April, 2008.

After this date this Region will be either destroyed or just kept around but only as a memorial (not really necessary).

All the activity from now on will start taking place in our new Region. Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Foreign Diplomats, spies and all citizens of 01 ERE I will wait you in our Headquarters Region ...

The Republic of Fascist Albertistan is a tiny, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Income tax is unheard of. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Retail industry.

Elections have been outlawed and gambling is outlawed.

Welcome TDS of Rome

We welcome The Dominion of TDS of Rome (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=TDS+of+Rome), as the 214th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Dominion of TDS of Rome is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A robust private sector is led by the Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing industries.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. TDS of Rome's national animal is the jabba, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the force.

Welcome Theodora Byz Empress

We welcome The Holy Empire of Theodora Byz Empress (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Theodora+Byz+Empress), as the 227th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Holy Empire of Theodora Byz Empress is a tiny, devout nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Religion & Spirituality and Commerce are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports industries.
Crime is a serious problem. Theodora Byz Empress's national animal is the double headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the solidus.

Welcome Will and Reason

We welcome The Republic of Will and Reason (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Will+and+Reason), a United Nations member, as the 227th member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Republic of Will And Reason is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.851 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Retail and Pizza Delivery.
Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, and movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Will And Reason's national animal is the big brother, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the oil.

Welcome Massello

We welcome The Holy Republic of Massello (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?nation=Massello), a United Nations member, as the 232nd member nation state in 01 Eastern Roman Empire Region.

The Holy Republic of Massello is a tiny, devout nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 6 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 45%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Voting is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Massello's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.
Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, punitive tariffs protect local industry, all recreational drugs are legal, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown. Warsaw and Poland's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Golden Pawel.
