  1. On this day, precisely one year ago, an alliance by the name of Oceania was formed by two men, and some pocket change. Unlike most alliances nowadays, we decided not to declare existence 2.5 milliseconds after forming. Since then, Oceania has become a tight-knit community full of unique and friendly members. Since the start, and along the way, we have made enemies and allies alike. At this time, Oceania would like to thank those that have stuck by our side over the past year: TKR: You guys have been the best protectors and friends we could ask for. You have stuck by us through all of our highs and lows, and never demanded a thing from us besides loyalty and respect. Both of these you have earned in droves. Thank you all ❤️. The Imperium/The Order: Though we may not have communicated very often during the days of The Imperium, I feel our relationship has developed in a very lovely way now as The Order. Thank you guys for being solid, caring allies all the while. Chocolate Castle: Though our relationship may have been somewhat tumultuous at times, you guys have been with us as a fellow TKR protectorate for a year now. Thank you all for the support you have given us, and the good times we have shared thus far; may we have many more in the times to come. Name Withheld: [REDACTED] ❤️ Additional thanks to any ally that I didn’t directly name. Also, thanks to any enemies, and/or those that perceive us as enemies, for making our jobs interesting. Edit: Please for the love of god stop thinking our theme is “the Ocean.” There is a vocal minority of people that believe this and it drives me crazy. We are based upon the book “1984” by George Orwell. You know, only one of the most well known books of all time. I swear some of you guys are illiterate or something, smh. TLDR; Oceania declares existence after 1 year.

  2. So that means Oceania didnt exist until this point in time? Stratosphere Marine Corps, guess what! You didn't lose horribly to a much smaller alliance in the last GW!

  3. From the hallowed halls of the Star Chaser GVI, Starfuze, Village, Gabe, and Deraj meet with Solar Knight Shota. His alliance was ravaged from the onslaught of Arrgh, their forces desolate and depleted. They searched Orbis for another place they could call home. They stumbled upon Ad Astra, their long time friends from their time under House Stark and TCM. The 2 alliances rejoiced, aligning their spines as one. TLDR: The Ronin Empire merges into Ad Astra. I'm being held hostage by Deraj he made me make this post against my free will

  4. Politics and War is a national/political simulator but the majority of us treat this as an arcade game with communities. In the interest of furthering the cause of actual nation simulation, I have established a new discord server primarily for light roleplay and model-UN-style interactions between nations. If you've ever had the urge to roleplay out a treaty or trade agreement or are just bored and want to stir up some political drama without the full consequences of doing so in the actual game - feel free to drop on by. https://discord.gg/pQh9w6vTfp The "official" national RP server has a whopping 13 members in it. So I thought it might be better to try anew with a more specific goal in mind. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but hopefully it'll be a fun adventure.

  7. Just recently members of Arrgh engaged in a counter-offensive against a member of the Winter Android United alliance, the nation in question being Wintercrest. In response to this Wintercrest sought aid from outside parties and shortly after a mercenary counter from II Roman Imperi da Rezia, was declared on one of our members, The Peccable. In response two members of Arrgh, Defland and Iron fist, declared our own counter to this player, however the third slot was filled by a former member of Winter Android United, Kingdom of Vaio, who was removed from his alliance shortly before he declared war on the mercenary hired by Wintercrest, with the reason being "Wintercrest Protection", which would seem odd as the mercenary is actively defending Wintercrest and not attacking him. So from this it appears that Wintercrest has sent one of his own members to fill a slot on the mercenary he hired in order to protect him from further counters, removing him to remove suspicion of war-slot filling. All necessary nations and alliances have been linked and screenshots will be provided below: Wintercrest removing Kingdom of Vaio & Kingdom of Vaio declaring on II Roman Imperi da Rezia - Kingdom of Vaio declaring war but no attacks being launched by either side for hours on end (first image with Vaio), despite both being recently online and actively fighting other wars (second image with Defland) - II Roman Imperi da Rezia commending his supposed 'attacker' shortly after war was declared - Vaio declaring war at just two hours after the first Arrgh counter - II Roman Imperi da Rezia declaring on The Peccable in order to counter for Wintercrest - Update: Almost half a day later and still no action from either side (first image). From the Kingdom of Vaio we see recent activity in the form of two new wars being declared that he is actively fighting in (second image). It is also in this second image we see Vaio's return to United Winter Android, bit strange considering his recent removal prior to this post, this return taking place mere hours after Wintercrest learned of this report. Update 2: It has now been over 24hrs and neither side has attacked each other yet, but are still actively engaging in other conflicts. If any further information is required please let me know and I will provide whatever I can.

  15. There's more to it than just the economy. I know enough about other parts of TRE to know it was the right move. Even if you had managed to get the economy back in track, you might've just been dogpiled again by some large alliance because of your reputation. It would have been in the best of the alliance to go through with this, as you guys would've been stuck in a cycle of getting dogpiled and rebuilding. This is just my opinion on this but hey you can do whatever you want Good luck in TFed

  18. To anyone that reads this, This was not an agreed upon event, Shota is a traitor and even worse then chute. Chute was an incompetent but shota is that and a traitor. I still intend to try my best to salvage what i can as i promised to keep the alliance going as much as i can. An i hope the worst upon shota as he deserves whatever bad happens to him and his conspirator friends in this game.

  21. I think Ogaden put it succinctly. There has never been a raiding micro that failed due to too many wars or other raiders. There has been innumerable micros to have failed because a brand-new player to PnW wanted to make their own group, stay in it with 1-3 people, not have adequate military on-hand, and be absolutely shocked that raiders find them. To address your point in a constructive way, I've personally been advocating for the new nation tutorial (or maybe even nation creation!) to push new nations into established alliances along with a brief message basically saying "The lone wolf starves while the pack survives." Expectations of playing an MMO completely solo and succeeding just isn't viable in this game. I believe that if a new player has the ambition to form a new micro, they have the potential to become a valuable community member. Only if they survive and don't quit the game out of frustration first though.

  22. War Battle Link: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=933193 War Attack ID: 10610698 Attack Type: Naval Success Type: Moderate Success According to the war mechanics, any attack done by a force 2.5 times larger than a defending force will ALWAYS result in an Immense Triumph(IT). However, recently, possibly after the new mechanics got pushed live, this hasn't been the case, with armies 2.5 times larger getting Moderate Success(MS) or Pyrrhic Victory(PV) at times. For the given war linked above, I used 5 ships to hit the person with 2 ship(2.5x army value vs opponent)(Victory type=IT), followed by two naval hits with 3 ships on 1(3x army value vs opponent). The first of the 3 ship hit resulted in Victory type=IT while the second one resulted in a moderate success. I had enough munitions and gas to run the 3 ships(look below for the API data for that war-attack). Hence, I should have gotten an Immense Triumph. But that was not the case. And this isn't a one-time thing as well. I've seen this happen multiple times with people trying to use the minimum troops or just above minimum troops required to get ITs against opponents. And this isn't only for ships. This has happened for ground units as well. I'd like @Alex to look into this and if it isn't a mechanics issue, tell us if the numbers to get a guaranteed IT has been twerked around. JSON from the war-attacks api for the above attack: { "war_attack_id":"10610698", "date":"2021-05-16 06:02:18", "war_id":"933193", "attacker_nation_id":"262298", "defender_nation_id":"270929", "attack_type":"naval", "victor":"262298", "success":"2", "attcas1":"0", "attcas2":"0", "defcas1":"0", "defcas2":"0", "city_id":"540187", "infra_destroyed":"0.93", "improvements_destroyed":"0", "money_looted":"0.00", "note":"11", "city_infra_before":"1185.00", "infra_destroyed_value":"7701.52", "att_gas_used":"6.00", "att_mun_used":"9.00", "def_gas_used":"1.80", "def_mun_used":"2.70", "aircraft_killed_by_tanks":0 } PS: How do I show things as spoilers

  23. The Order Boyce had just returned from yet another round of fighting those horrible swamp creatures in The Lost Empire that wasn’t lost… or an empire. His brow was filled with sweat as he continued to admire his stats, as all his friends cast jealousy. Vader, on the other hand, appeared to have gone insane over the lack of targets, he even started talking to burgers. Mac continued to enjoy his vacation on the beach, less annoyed at the loss of slots, while Tiger was still stuck in the trenches, fighting. Vader and Boyce were enjoying a nice lunch, made by their personal assistant, Corion when they saw something they never would’ve expected… Slots! Word had reached Vader from one of his burger friends that a mysterious land called The Coal Mines held all the slots one could need, and they recently launched attacks on a group of Knights. That means not only could Vader fill more defensive slots, but he could also impress some Knights. Vader made sure to tell Boyce during their lunch, who immediately called Mac from his vacation and Tiger in the trenches, and began marching the armies once again. TL:DR The Order declares war on The Coal Mines Ayy Lmao

  24. If you think being mad because your most trusted friend in the game stabbed you and everyone else in government in the back is toxic then i'm curious what your relationships are like. I'm not making more enemies. They were already my enemies when they supported the coup. Clearly he was self confident enough to go behind my back, The back of the other gov leader, The back of lower gov. Talk trash about me and coup the alliance as well. I'm sorry but there is no negotiation or compromise. Shota is a traitor and in no way a victim here. I will refrain from involving cc though, I apologize.

  27. I personally started an alliance as a one man and slowly but surely worked an alliance past top 50 and top 40 and 30, I didn't do it alone I have great co-govs today but when The Stratosphere 1.0 started it was just me with zero connections to any major alliance until we got signed by Spartan Union who was #48 at the time. It can still be done it just takes time and effort. I'd never held a single gov position before leading STS but learning on the fly and being resourceful and exploiting opportunities is all it takes.

  28. The syndicate as an entity preceded it's formation ingame by a few weeks actually 👍 You are equating the mechanical act of creating an alliance ingame with that of forming an alliance. The two aren't identical. An alliance may be founded on the day of its creation, but it's actual formation usually predates this by at least a few weeks, if not months. The syndicate as an example, existed as a distinct entity a good few weeks before it's official announcement. About twenty of us if I remember correctly who had all decided upon a common name, theme, government structure etc and were sending each other aid long before any announcement was ever made or the alliance was formed ingame. Rose had adopted us in an ad hoc manner as sort of quasi protectorate knowing full well we were only there until we officially declared our existence.

  29. Please stop with these complete lies that amount to nothing but slander. We've gone over this before. You should know that: 1) I've never even had my own show on RON. 2) Your roommate posted a thread on reddit with a title along the lines of "I live with Nokia, AMA." 3) Private conversations relating to #2 were not posted to a show on RON (see #1) nor, for reasons that are VERY obvious, a news channel. (if that's what you're referring to) Frankly, I can't decide if you're blatantly lying or just ignorant.

  35. Nokia being Nokia. 1. He left the game but he is still here(he even made official goodbye in alliance affairs to make it more visable). 2. He left TCM but he is acting like he is still there.(Ofc he won't join to TCM to fight but he is first to be part of peace talks - at least it was the case in Aurora vs TCM war) 3. Say anything bad about TCM and Nokia will take it very personal(you are very lucky that he didn't make straight to the point 20minutes video). 4. Nokia leaving TCM with either respected Alliance Leaders or High Gov people in Top 20s. You can't deny this sofisticated experiance seeing how well they baited BK to hit them. 5. Nokia EGO (soon to be in scale of airship) Honestly at this point I can't really treat Nokia serious in any matter. I wish him all good things irl but in game he is just really annoying to interact.

  39. It is with great sadness that I have to inform of the most recent death to the Orbis community. About a month or two ago a member of Terminus Est's high gov, Stavros Cassadine, told us that he had been diagnosed with cancer. In addition to this, he was also battling a heart condition. Recently, his condition severely worsened and he had to go through multiple surgeries, all of which had complications. Nonetheless, like the fighter I knew he was, he came through these operations and just before Christmas came off the ventilator. However, while recovering post-op, he caught Covid-19. This unfortunately he did not survive from. He was a fantastic face to have around our discord and was a great friend to myself and others. I know that all those who knew him will agree with me that he will be missed dearly within our community. Rest in peace Stav. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=214086 (For your information there is a family member on his account which is the reason he may drift in and out of activity)
