Welcome to a new series! In this series we will be looking over the past week and what has happened during that week in Warera. This is the first episode and I play to add more things in the future, but this is it for now.
(3. May to 10. May)
2026.
The past week has seen the continuation of the Rise of the ICDP. The war, which has been going favourably for the ICDP in the last week has also gone better for this alliance this week. Most of the alliance members have been fully liberated and The USA has been half conquered by Venezuela. The BEER alliance also had a great week alongside the ICDP as every single one of their countries have been liberated fully (except for Finland). Let's take a look at the current world:
EUROPE

SOUTH AMERICA

NORTH AMERICA

AFRICA

ASIA

AUSTRALIA AND OCEANIA

While we are still talking about it, let's look at the world with the alliance map:
EUROPE

As you can see pretty diverse with the Olive alliance, ICDP and BEER all present.
AFRICA

AFRICA is mostly dominated by the African Union, with the exception of Mali who is in the Holy alliance.
ASIA

ASIA, mostly dominated by the Asian federation and Indonesia as an ICDP member.
SOUTH AMERICA

Here you have Brasil and Venezuela in the ICDP and Argentina and Chile, allays of the Olive alliance.
NORTH AMERICA

The USA as an olive ally.
In terms of population, Germany is the biggest country in the world, followed by Egypt, who even though has a large population compared to other countries, still is two times smaller then Germany. The top five is finished with the Netherlands, Venezuela and Sweden at the fifth place and top 10 is complete with Serbia at the tenth place.

Let's take a look at the population map:
EUROPE

ASIA

AFRICA

SOUTH AMERICA

(Continents with countries in top 10)
INFLATION
For economy, In this first article, inflation rate and average wage will be featured, but I hope there will be more in future ones.
This is the chart of the inflation rate:

(The numbers are in procents).
As you can see, the inflation was above 0 from Monday until Wednesday when it dropped below 0, but has since had a steady comeback and is the highest I has been this week. This ain't to worry though, since it is still under 1% which means that is is balanced and stable.
AVERAGE WAGE
This is the chart of the average wage:

The average wage has seen a big fall this week, from 0.125 at the begginning to about 1.085 yesterday and a bit less today.
