Relationships between Ukraine and Indonesia

Day 5,355, 12:53 • Published in Indonesia Ukraine • by Mike Dreams

Hello, I will try to explain Ukrainian point of view on all of this 🙂

I will start with a bit of history.
Ukraine and Indonesia were long time friends in the past. We shared tw for multiple years both in Ukr and Indo cores. Around 1.5 years ago we renewed our tw agreement: Ukraine was to host Indonesia for tw in our cores, then we move our tw to Indonesian cores when determination raises: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mofa-beberapa-update-tentang-luar-negeri-2726364

Many Asteria and Hydra accs were banned some time after that and Code became extremely overpowered. When Ukrainian cores were about to be wiped, we didnt use Indonesia to block Code, I talked to our friends in Belarus and we moved Indonesia there, where Indonesia stayed for long and had tws there.
Meanwhile we asked Indonesia to host us for tw, which would be very helpful at the time, because we were about to be fully wiped by Code and stay without any regs or tws.
While Indonesia didnt say 'no' directly, instead saying 'maybe later' for months(when agreement clearly stated that we can move in after 6 months), Indonesia effectively broke the agreement and didnt let us to move in.

Now about the recent events...
Ukraine occupies Russia together with our friends. Russia is our enemy both in game and rl.
We raised tax to 25% for a week to enchourage people to move away their factories. At the same time, we had no intention to keep it for long, because it damages our own workers 🙂
If Indonesia ever asked, we would share this info with you. But nobody ever contacted us.
So, on the day 5349 we lower our tax back to 1% and then the next day Indonesia ASes us without any reason or anything said.
Few days before it Indonesia ASed Spain(which we(Asteria) didnt react to) and NEd Serbia(which we decided can be a tw), all without saying a word.

Its cleary not a business of Ukraine what tax Indonesia has. Ukraine has no right to tell you what to do with your tax or what regions to take. But you have no right to tell us what to do with our tax.
Russia is a Code member, if someone places factories there, he accepts the risk that they have enemies and those enemies can take their regs.

Indonesia clearly intended to vote 'yes' and just attack us without a serious reason or saying a word to us.
The conversation between your and our presidents happened AFTER that. So our president could not threaten your president or provoke your president first, its Indonesian president who threatened and provoked us first.
This is full conversation:


Our president never threatened to attack Indonesia first. He told you that if you punch us first, we will punch back. He did not tell it randomly, he told it AFTER he learned of Indonesia's plan to attack us first.
Saying that we threatened or provoked you is simply a lie.

In fact, we tried to avoid confrontation even after your law.
For example, I tried to contact Indonesians in our old tw chat to this result:


Obviously, this is simply a lie to my face. Gajah.Mada actively plays the game and even was your president few weeks ago.
Now he says that Indonesia just wants to have fun being wiped. However, why does your government have to lie like this about everything?
Neither Ukraine nor Asteria has done anything bad to Indonesia.

And about the future...
Idk what Indonesia's plans are, it looked like your president just wants to go yolo and he hates Asteria. It would be stupid for us to fight you 1 on 1. If some of you want to go to 200k pp and waste your EBs, we certainly dont. We will trade your expensive damage for our cheap damage. We dont care if its Ukraine or someone else who takes regs from you.
There is no chance you can stay in Russia without our approval and its not worth to spend EBs to kick you a day earlier.

I do not fully understand your motivation. From the shouts it seems like Indonesian government wants us to wipe Indonesia far more than we care to do it. And your president cares far more about his ability to work in Russia than about Indonesia.

There was an article not that long ago with a poll about alliances, however I cannot find the results. Did the governemt publish the results? Can any Indonesian share where they were published and what the results are?
Thank you.
