Thailand upset China in the day's biggest battle
Thailand defeated China 85.3 million to 75.8 million in a big battle, the largest confirmed fight of the day. Venezuela declared war on Spain, escalating the tension that began when Venezuela sold two of its capital regions to Spain over the past two days — a conflict born directly out of that unusual territorial trade.
Cyprus had a strong day, beating both North Macedonia and Romania. South Korea beat Japan twice more, extending its long unbeaten streak. Chile stayed aggressive too, declaring war on both South Korea and Fiji while also beating Guatemala early in the day.
Two large battles remain active: United States vs Guatemala (100.8 million live damage, with a loss threatening to cut off eleven Guatemalan regions from its capital) and Madagascar vs Australia (125.5 million, fought over a coal-rich region). The alliance rivalry ledger kept climbing too, with https://app.warera.io/alliance/6a2b13879c8c99640b9c4963 vs https://app.warera.io/alliance/6a2967acab5f82249fd8c1c3 now clearly out front at 5.59 billion combined damage across 27 battles.
Guatemala went bankrupt at midnight, breaking nine pacts at once
Following the same pattern we've now confirmed several times, Guatemala declared bankruptcy exactly at midnight, and nine defensive pacts — with El Salvador, Nicaragua, Kazakhstan, Honduras, Brazil, the Bahamas, Uzbekistan, Ecuador, and Peru — all broke in the same instant.
Bolivia also broke five pacts within the same two minutes — with Guyana, Qatar, Somalia, Moldova, and Uganda — a collapse with the same telltale signature as a bankruptcy, though we couldn't confirm the triggering event directly this time. United Korea broke four more pacts, continuing its ongoing pattern of instability.
Two countries got new presidents: @6813b764efecdf9bab195b59 in Puerto Rico and @69827a0e7cf831a523f54bd7 in the United States. Six peace deals were also signed today, including Spain with both Haiti and Cape Verde, and Guinea-Bissau with Senegal.
A petroleum deposit in Puerto Rico pushed Spain's bonus to 80.5%
Spain's production numbers spiked dramatically today: a fresh petroleum deposit discovered in Puerto Rico combined with the country's existing production policy to reach an extraordinary 80.5% bonus — comfortably the highest combined figure we've tracked in our new region-matching feature. Iran's West Kazakhstan region also matched for petroleum, though at a more modest 30%.
Elsewhere, three other region-matches were confirmed active: Mysterious Plant in Congo, grain in Vietnam, and lead in Eritrea. Germany sent Thailand a striking 7,500 — one of the largest single transfers of the day — while India sent China 7,500 as well.
Yemen and India held the top spots
Yemen remained #1 at 61.5% (limestone), with India at 60.5% (iron), and DR Congo at 60% (also iron).
