We Won the Civil War!

     On February 6, 2024, the Democratic Republic of Enotita, led by President Daddy, and United States of Enotita, led by me, met up at the Battle of Olsen. The Democratic Republic had only 1 division, and no external support. Meanwhile, we had 192 divisions, and support from Germany, France, the Philippines, and Japan. If the only remaining division from the Democratic Republic surrendered, the Enotitan Civil War would end. At 12:30 PM, they did just that. The final division surrendered, and the United States of Enotita was now the sole Enotitan state. 

    Just four hours after the Democratic Republic surrendered, a victory ceremony was held in New Enotita. I composed a march called "Enotita's Glory" for the ceremony right after the battle. But how did all this happen? Let's find out today. 

    In January 2024, in a car just outside New Enotita, the president of Enotita, Daddy, fired me and became dictator. I was devastated. I went from founding Enotita to being under a dictator. I split from the Democratic Republic of Enotita to establish the Enotitan Republic. After two name changes, it became the United States of Enotita, a federal nation. 

    Most of the battles occurred in New Enotita, where I was staying at the time. (Sucatia and the Mariquinium were quickly retaken. The Mariquinium was not a yet a protectorate at the time, by the way.) We almost lost, however, being pushed all the way to the front yard. It was probably more devastating than me getting fired.

    But then, Germany declared war on the Democratic Republic on January 28. The following day, France and Japan invaded. The day after, the Philippines sent support. We were winning. We managed to capture all of New Enotita, but the president and his final remaining division fled to Olsen just before New Enotita was retaken. 

    So we invaded Olsen, the last holdout of the Democratic Republic. At the Battle of Olsen, we defeated the final division. And that's how we won the Enotitan Civil War. 

    See you on Monday when Big Mistake - Nazi Germany is released!

The Ager Centralis Enotitae and Pecunia - Enotitan Finance Guide

Image
The first ever bill issued by the Ager Centralis. This bill is for one Pecunia.      Almost every country has a currency. You have the dollar, peso, euro, pound, and much more. However, we did not have a currency. This is bad, because the economy is very vital to every country. That's why we established the Ager Centralis Enotitae (Latin for Enotitan Central Bank). From now on, Enotitans can use the Pecunia, our new currency.      To start, open an account at any branch of the Ager Centralis. (Currently, there are only branches in Olsen, the main state.) Present the teller any valid Enotitan government ID. Following that, give the teller any bill from any currency. After around 10 minutes, it will be converted and transformed into a Pecunia for the initial deposit.      You can use the card in Enotitan shops. You can buy souvenirs, food, or even use it to receive salary. (Enotitan companies besides government agencies do not exist at the mome...

Historical Facts: The 1867 Compromise and the Austro-Hungarian Empire

Image
     Okay. I think I gave you the end before the beginning, because this is about the rise of Austria-Hungary. If you didn't read the last article , that's on the fall of Austria-Hungary. But, I didn't know I would post on this. So, let's go!     Let's look at Austria in 1867. The previous year, they lost a war to Prussia and Italy. After Prussia defeated Austria, the other German states dependent on Austria had an uncertain future. (This would be resolved after the Franco-Prussian War.) But Austria also had an uncertain future. After losing wars, you would generally have a bad economy. Austria was no exception. And Austria already had many ethnicities in their empire. As I said in the last article, Austria had many minorities. In fact, I'll list just some of the most significant minorities in the Austrian Empire: Czechs Slovaks Poles Ukrainians Romanians Hungarians Serbs Croats Slovenes Italians     If this doesn't sound too complicated to you, think ...

Historical Facts: American and Japanese Rule in the Philippines

     This was based on Reader's Digest: The Story of the Filipino People - Parts 6 and 7 ( Under the Stars and Stripes  and The Japanese Occupation ) by Milagros C. Guerrero and Ricardo T. Jose.      Now that I think about it, I would call the Spanish occupation "the first storm," the American occupation "the second storm," and the Japanese occupation "the third storm." The "between the storm" parts would be 1898 - 1901 and 1935 - 1941.  Part 1 - The Second Storm (1901 - 1935)     After the Philippine-American War, the United States turned the Philippines into a colony. They gained it in the Treaty of Paris along with Puerto Rico, Cuba, and some other islands. The Americans needed to keep it away from Spain, France, and Germany.      Under Spanish rule, the Filipinos were taught Catholicism. But the Americans were mainly Methodist (a sect of Protestantism). American missionaries were sent to the Philippines, although most ...
