Den Takes Lazarus

Den Takes Lazarus
Welcome to Lazarus; Land of the Risen DEN soldier!!

This is what Lazarus natives and the walking dead woke up to see in The World Factbook Entry 11 hours ago. Days before, defenders came to the aid of Lazarus whose delegate was deleted for multying. It stirred the usual controversy of, "Thanks, who invited you!" Den used this controversy to their advantage and planted the seeds of mistrust in the Lazarus community. The advice of defenders was ignored and the pretender native/Invader was allowed to take the delegacy.

Den of course reveled in their victory in their usual comedic fashion: HQ posts ridiculing Defenders and natives alike.
While DEN and it's allies were busy launching an attack on a feeder, TITO, once again fooled by our Counter-Intelligence services, invaded 0 BEER DRINKERS 0 in a show of astonishing naivity, confirming once again the rumours that TITO's Intelligence apparatus IS non-existant.

The Invader Delegate Lynnaka did show some amount sportsmanship in a post in Lazarus forum.
I wouldn't worry so much about it. The DEN is not an empire-builder, and your region will be back to normal before you know it.

It is all part of the NS game.
Pending update the region should be freed tonight. It appears that many defenders have come to the aid of the region. Barbeau has over 50 endorsements and Den invaders who had taken 0 BEER DRINKERS 0 arrived to support their own.

Lazarus is where deleted nations are sent to ressurect. The MODS never intended for the region to have a community, yet one did blossom. The region was controlled by Testlandia the founder and a MOD nation, "used to test new features on the live server before they're inflicted on regular players." Quote from the NS MOD Violet. Barbeau contacted the MODS in Jolt and asked if they could have delegate powers granted to the region. The founder was removed and the request granted with some limits. The region is now like The Rejected Realms where no nation can be booted and the delegate can only alter the World Fact Book Entry. All it really did was open the region to invasions. This is sure to become a popular invader target in the game unless the Lazarus Government can unite and secure it. All eyes on Lazarus!
