Monday:
Hamster shift change
Seems like it's getting tradition that the week starts with the game being down. Would Monday be the day there is a shift change among https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068 his hamsters?

The Department of War calls for help!
The Department of War is looking for some lab rats to test war builds. If you are interested, please go to the nearest army recruitment station!
In personal news, I rolled my very first Mythic out of a regular case! A fresh pair of 56% Mythic gloves arrived at my doorstep, it still smelled new too! Now don't let this unexpected cash stop you from tipping on my article!
Also on Monday an update dropped, go check out the release notes if you haven't already! https://app.warera.io/article/6a0b447223395e1953db536a
Denmark finally free!
The Danish were done with eating bratwurst, a successful revolt supported by our Belgian troops liberated Jutland from Germany.
Tuesday:
French capital under attack!
German troops took over Eastern France on Monday (lucky for us they didn't pass through Belgium this time). Tuesday they continued marching right into the French capital, allied forces including Belgian troops rushed their way to the land of baguettes and wine and secured yet another victory against the Germans, when will they learn!
Luxembourg is liberated!
https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7fb used the opportunity of German troops in Paris to revolt, successfully! Luxembourg is a free state once again!

A deal between Belgium and Luxembourg!
Shortly after their liberation from German occupation, our government sat together with Luxembourg and signed a deal strengthening our bond with them. Read all about it here: https://app.warera.io/article/6a0c9c173687d472c2ee64c6
From Big Ben to Blocked: Norway and Suriname Ruin Our UK Party!
After winning Southeastern England, you would expect our troops to continue claiming the rest of the UK, not! Norway bought Scotland, and immediately started a war with the https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79e. This is possible, even with the new rules, because they weren't allied before, so the cooldown didn't apply. So right when the Belgian troops were raising our tricolore on top of the Big Ben, Norway cut us off by attacking Central England. At the same time, Suriname, having control of Brittany in France, attacked Southwestern England. Belgium is now completely blocked from attacking any other regions.
https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7fe tried the same dirty trick, but they should have first read the release notes of the last update!
Donation contest in Belgium!
What a sneaky way to pull off more taxes, our real government must be so jealous of this idea! The Department of Economy launched a donation contest to get more money into the Belgian account. Citizens are divided in level brackets and the top donators will get eternal fame in form of an article! So grab those wallets and get donating! https://app.warera.io/article/6a0db707756ac859571fad1d
Thursday:
Another anticlimax in the United Kingdom
Our troops were partying in London together with the Arsenal fans who just won the title. They conquered London and were blocked from attacking any further, what should they do right? On Thursday, everyone was ready to move deeper into England. In the distance they hear Germans, dressed as Norwegians. Another attempt to block our expansion! The smurf army did not back down and went straight to defending their newly claimed piece of land.

Norther France in Belgian hands!
After Suriname taking over parts of France, the Belgian troops did not hesitate and crossed the border in West-Flanders to push the invader back. As a result, Northern France is now under Belgian leadership, until we are at liberty to return the region back to our allies south of the border.
Friday:
The return of https://app.warera.io/user/681b15ac7c71edf800e224a4!
Former president of Belgium https://app.warera.io/user/681b15ac7c71edf800e224a4, also known as JCVD is a Belgian citizen again, after his presidency, he moved to https://app.warera.io/country/6873d0ea1758b40e712b5f76 to become a mercenary. After a short break in https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79a he now returns home to the forests of the Ardennes. We also welcome https://app.warera.io/user/68412b1d29de6212dc55f829, who has been a friend of the Belgians for a long time!

https://app.warera.io/mu/6919436a9317706a741d016e
The fighting continues!
While the government is discussing tactics, the bullets fly over in Central England en Southeastern England. Our Belgian troops are showing their best sides, at the time of writing, Belgium ranked second in weekly damages!
Donation campaign success!
The Belgians did not disappoint, after the donation competition announcement from the Department of Economy, 17.810,86 BTC was raised after a single day!
Saturday:
Discord rework chaos
The promised rework of the BE Discord was implemented by the Department of Domestic Affairs. A lot of channels are renamed, others have been removed, new ones have been added. The goal? Better overview of important messages.
Boule in Berlin, tompouce in Oslo
The German capital was attacked today by allied forces lead by Denmark. As an attempt to stop the German invasion in France. It was a hard battle, our forces made it as far as Brandenburg Tor, but were met by heavy German resistance and had to turn back.
While in the area our troops helped The Netherlands take over Oslo. A successfull invasion this time, Ostlanded is orange again!
UK losing more terrain
The masters of delaying are slowly but surely losing more terrain to Belgium. Central England is claimed, and Wales will soon also be under control of Belgian troops.
State account draining?
A lot of concerns were raised about Belgium sending a lot of money everywhere. The government responds saying that we are the victim of our own success, our congress are such fast voters that our alliance uses that to it's full extent. Since Belgium is mostly focussed on dealing damage now, the government asks not to worry as the money will be repayed.
Sunday:
The last piece of the Great Britain puzzle?
After days of hard fighting and being delayed, Belgium attacks Scotland, under Irish control. Scotland is the last region of Great Brittain not yet under Belgian control. We end the week with Great Brittain turning blue!
