SK currently has a MPP with a Russia and is looking to get one from Germany, as well as trying to get polish over to help (or so I've been hearing)

SK tried to make peace with Japan earlier but this was rejected by the Japanese government

I tried to look for more info but both the media pages of Japan and SK are pretty empty. What got my attention tho is the fact that Japanese newspapers are full Spannish articles lately.

I'll see if I can get in touch with some of my old asia contacts. In the mean time, if anyone knows something more, feel free to inform me.

in simple words: japan has invaded SK with croatian help, despite a German MPP with SK and communist support the japs conquered SK capital (quyeong-di, aka seoul aka their high grain region) and decided to let the SK rot in their 2 last regions. SK got a russian MPP and started RW's. The one for seoul was quickly in the last minute tanked by some russians, which gave that region back to SK. SK RW'ed all their regions back, including the island Jeju, which was Japanese for already a very long time.

The most important stuff of this war however was yet to come. Once SK got seoul back, North Korea attacked it, the SK president retreated, russia attacked NK-controlled lands, which the NK president retreated, seoul got into russian hands and the russians attacked Shandong, which was at that time in the hands of the USA and was their base to attack Lion King. Russia conquered shandong since the americans just got defeated at Lionking and had nothing left, versus then the russian home army.

So basicly, SK helped removing one of the biggest threads to Serbian-held Lion King in exchange for liberation from Japan.

A nice background details you can find in the back then Russian President's article concerning the moves: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/begining-of-great-friendship-1386669/1/20

Um, threadstarter, did you look at the dates on the article and the proposal?

The article was written about a month ago, and the DoW is also dated back to a month ago.

Sammy has it right.

Also, we wouldn't have been able to fight off NK. We might as well have retreated anyway. Russia would have take Gyeonggi-do with or without eSK's permission.

woops, my bad. I guess that explains why I could find nothing about it in your media.
