This time i will cover the updates to Gaia, the current temporary server, after another 30 days. It's currently ending Day 90, which means its entering the final segment of it.
The Following statistics have been taken on Day 90, at 22:35 server time. Changes from the last version of the Continued Chronicles include the removal of the Top Citizens chart, and replacing it with the Strength Chart, Coalition Map and Top 5 Country Map instead.
I will explain the map changes during the Server Progress section.
Top 5 -
Denmark
Lithuania
Bahrain
[Still no flag. F]
Croatia
Greece
The notable changes within the Top 5 countries is the removal of Japan from 3rd place, Bahrain rising from 4th to 3rd place, and Croatia becoming the new shining star in the list. Denmark, Lithuania and Greece remain the same as before.
To avoid overlapping stories, i will only showcase the events that have ocurred between Days 60 - 90.
Resuming from the last Gaia report, all nations seemed to be in peace, with relative instances of Resistance Wars within some of these nations, most notably Denmark facing the looming threat of a powerful Iceland. Starting on Day 60, Iceland started picking up steam and recruited a player named Tomcio (renamed to Luxie), who brought up an entire legion of soldiers to rise and fight for the Island nation.
In other aspects, the aspect of diplomacy still dominated Denmark in the global view. Because Poland was facing a severe crisis that led to major shifts in political view, Denmark made a deal with the nation (before fallout) that allowed it to gain control of yet another bridge. This was notable in the last map but picked up steam eventually. Almost all other nations refused to work on diplomacy, giving the work to reliable old fighting, to the point of Denmark intervening diplomatically in almost every major conflict to resolve differences. Although this won't last for longer.
The new rising star nation during this era was Romania, who barely liberated itself at the end of the second month. They immediately allied various nations, including Denmark and company, and declared war on Hungary, who by then lost support of the Hippo alliance. After fighting for 50 days, they finally had a breath at liberty and revenge on the nation who kept them under ropes.
In the midst of Day 70, the biggest attempt at liberation from Iceland began, in the wake of a 100% bonus damage. All of Iceland woke up, in a combined effort to liberate a crucial region, which had been reinforced by Denmark with Defense Systems. It was the most brutal fight Gaia had ever seen by then, which totalled over 4,000,000,000 damage. While a very weak battle when comparing servers -because lets be real, Gaia has the weakest fights by a long shot-, it was still the toughest fight for Denmark in the entire server. However, a rough decision made by yours truly (who singlehandedly dealt 900 million damage alone) caused an 8-6 victory for Denmark.
But the worst had yet to come. In the meanwhile, while Denmark was occupied dealing with the threat of rebels, a different conflict appeared in the horizon. One that was highly anticipated, but both sides wished to prevent it from happening at all costs. It wasn't until Lithuania and Czech Republic got REALLY heated up between each other, both members of the only remaining powerful coalitions, Thieves & Happy Hippo, with looming resistance wars between both empires. There's no certainty on what was the main reason of the war, but in the end, Happy Hippo and Lithuania entered in conflict between each other. Croatia went on the move and declared war on Czech Republic.
In the meanwhile, Poland, no longer in the old leadership, has been controlled by the Iceland crew. Denmark immediately rejected this new government, especially after a failed attempt of that same crew earlier on taking leadership. They immediately declared war on Poland and started taking territory after territory. It also decided to act defensively helping Lithuania out in their battles, but refused to aggressively act against Hippo... Until two prominent Hippo leaders decided to open resistance wars in Denmark's most important regions, the bridge regions.
This was the official beginning of The Hippo War, with Denmark's full entry into the war. Romania followed suit and declared war on Czech Republic. Denmark immediately set plans in motion and quickly declared war on powerful members Japan and Oman, both of which had the biggest regions & arsenal of Hippo. This was done in under 5 minutes to prevent counter-declarations, which worked wonders. Lithuania followed suit and declared war on both nations alongside Poland. The days quickly went by and almost all the Hippo members have been overwhelmed by the sheer power of Denmark and its coalition. Japan lost its important core regions, and with it, all of its empire eventually. Czech Republic was separated between Romania and Croatia. Croatia also went for Japanese-occupied Mexico, who also liberated themselves, and conquered them. All of Hippo's colonies, except Macedonia's, have been taken out by Denmark and Lithuania.
As of right now, the only nation who's fiercely fighting hard is Oman. But with 30 days left, there is still quite a bit left to cover.
The top coalitions of the server on map form. Almost the entire world is under control by a Thieves country, consisting of Denmark, Lithuania, Croatia, Portugal and Estonia. All 5 nations have a combined total of 107,600,000,000 damage, more than doubling Happy Hippo's 45,000,000,000.
Notable Changes on Top 5: Denmark rose from 165 to 218 regions (+24.32%); Lithuania went from 112 to an impressive 180 regions (+34.44%). Japan collapsed from 53 to 0 regions and was kicked out of contention. Bahrain only increased 1 region from 51 to 52 (+1.9%). Greece fell 2 regions from 46 to 44 (-4.3%), and newcomer Croatia catapulted from 13 to 50 regions (+284.61%).
Notable Changes: Denmark remains 1st in damage, but Lithuania finally went on and took 2nd, a jump from 4th from last time. Iceland jumped 9 slots from 12th to 3rd, and Croatia fell a spot from 3rd to 4th. Oman made a staggering jump from 16th to 5th as well. Brazil made the biggest fall from 2nd to 10th, mostly because they lost 2 Top 5 soldiers; one by turning gray, and the other went to Iceland.
Not much to write home about in here, its mostly the nations who manage their NPCs better. although Bahrain is only at 5th place.
Similar case to above. Croatia seems to be the dominant country here, barely edging out Lithuania and Denmark in that department.
Denmark continues to dominate, surprise.
yes im losing words lol
The inclusion of 5 Danish citizens in the Top 10 is the standing point. before it was only consisting 3. Other people have dissapeared. The Top damage users have doubled their damage in the past 30 days.
Still as polarized as ever, it seems. The highest number of a single nation is only 2.
Notable Changes in this graph:
Smokin Aces has kept its #1 standing, no shocker, but it nearly doubled its damage from 37kkk to 69kkk.
The Gentlemens did double its damage from 10.5kkk to 26kkk dmg, and jumped to 2nd place.
Stela Fun Club rose from 4th to 3rd place, also almost doubling its damage (10kkk > 19.3kkk)
Iceland MU (Yoda) rose from 7th to 4th and also doubled its damage (7.4kkk > 17kkk)
The Golden Army jumped from 10th to 5th and is another MU who doubled damage, what a trend (6kkk > 12kkk)
Gangsters and Psajkos are the biggest drops of this graph, dropping from 2nd to 8th, and 5th to 10th respectively, while making almost no damage in this period.
GROB almost remains in place, falling from 8th to 9th. (7kkk > 10kkk)
Newcomers include Macedonia MU ARM and Oman MU Blackwater.
That's all for this version of Gaia's Continued Chronicles, the final Gaia part will come in Day 119, at the server ending.
I may think to include something else, but only if i see it possible.
Thanks for reading and take care.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
