Explaination of a (simple) choice
•
by JNArno
Hi everyone.
On this edition of The Leman Oberver, I'll talk (a lot) about our association with EDEN.
Yes, I know, a lot of you are screaming right now, telling that we always said that we will remain neutral and that we won't choose a side in the EDEN-PEACE war. A lot of you are saying that we are now Eden's puppet. In short: a lot of you think that we were wrong to do that choice... The question is... did we really have a choice? Give me five minutes to explain the situation to you:
We are a small country, we are a small population, our economy is not yet fixed... Let's be honnest with ourselves: without help, eSwitzerland looks like nothing right now... This is why, I think you'll all agree that our country needs help. We don't want to be a nation of "2 clickers" (connect-work-train-disconnect), we want to be a nation that exist! And it means that we need help from others. Now let's look at our three options: Neutrality, PEACE, EDEN.
We tried Neutrality, we really did. As I'm a big supporter of it IRL, let's be honnest, it works because IRL Switzerland has a strong economy, with the banks, and so on. Us? The theocrats screwed up so much our economy that it won't be fixed before something like 6 months or so. We haven't a large number of citizen, we are unorganized (althought we're working hard on a correct hierarchy), look at us: we're a flee trying to push an elephant! I can assure you that we tried a lot, but recent events led us to make a choice: eSwitzerland can't be neutral now... we are to vulnerable.
I'm a new citizen, not even 100 days... In a game that is more than 700 days old, I understand it's almost nothing. This game has a past, eSwitzerland too... My country was occupied by some terrorists who chosed to do some things, but honnestly, I don't care about that. I mean that I don't have to pay for the mistake some terrorists have done with my country. And what did PEACE did with us? let me explain you all the story now...
A lot of you know that our little group organized itself to a Governement in exile, in a forum that doesn't exist anymore. We, by the voice of our elected president in exile Eleriel, started to negociate with Hungary. After two weeks, it was decided that we could free a region: Deutschschweiz. In clear it means this: after two weeks of yes then no, then yes again. They told us less than 24h before the start of the RW that it was ok but they asked for... 500G and the cost of the RW... For those who might not now, after PEACE took all the US, they demanded 300G for a high RM region and 200 for a low one. What RM does Deutschschweiz have? Medium in Grain and Wood... But we didn't care, we wanted our country back and we paid. They said that the region would be free easely, the wall was over 70'000 8 hours before the end... Without some foreign help (principaly from EDEN country by the way) we would have been unable to win it...
After that, they promised us a lot of help to take the congress... Again, nobody showed up...
The next step was the freedom of the Romandie region: 390G and the RW (remember what I said about what the US had to pay?) for a Medium RM region in Grain. The day after that, we had the opportunity to take back Svizzra Italiana for 50G. Was it a good will of the hungarian? no again, they spend so much in the battle against EDEN that they needed urgently some Golds...
The two last points are the best for me: after that we tried to sign a NAP with them.. we sent them one, they sent it back with a lot of "improvements" making us, in short, their bitch: basically, the only thing we had the right to do was defend ourselves during an attack (but with no mention of some help from them). Then came the last big battle between EDEN and PEACE, the day after that, Eleriel launched an attack on Graubunden (a region with less than 10 people in it), to make a TW... Ok it was not the smatest idea he had but let's be honnest: was it a real threat on Hungary? So the next day, they forced us to sign peace with them in attacking us...
On the other hand, what did EDEN and Broliance countries did for us? a Q5 Hospital, a lot of friendship, a lot of money... in four words: a lot of help...
Now I don't want to say that PEACE is nothing else but Hungary: we had a lot of help from Japan and France too... Two countries that are not happy with the current situation in PEACE. eSwitzerland does not want to conquer the worl😛
we just want to be free. We found some friends and we know that they'll help us if something happens to us. For the rest, we hope that we could maintain our good relationship with our PEACE friends because they know that we don't want to attack them. In EDEN, eSwitzerland will be a country who will talk wisely, I can assure you of that!

Lol.
Arschmann, maybe arguments instead of just "Lol." might be a good idea if you still want to be president someday
They bought you.
And my question. Was it really nessesary to join EDEN? Maybe we could find some non-Eden\Peace friends? Maybe we could find some Eden\peace friend who doesn't force us to join in their alliance? Both of this alliance - crap. You told about good relations with eFrance. eFrench really good men, they really could help us like some of them they helped eRussia in WSR. There are a lot lil countries in eRep. Maybe we could make an association of this countries. There is many other choices.
Like in an aphorism: "Even if you are eaten you have two way to quit".
This (simple) choice will only remove eSwitzerland from eMap.
Inspector_Detector, that attitude is the exact reason why we joined EDEN....
One day North Korea joined EDEN too. Now it is half-american half-russian puppet country.
No one forced us to join their alliance Inspector: we chosed it
ahahahaah what a pile of rubbish.
that kind of hostile and rude attitude we'll only wipe you of the map
It's not rubbish: it's facts... it's what happened, I don't want to be rude, I want to be objective...
okay. what are the benefits for EDEN in all this? what is the deal. that's what I want to know. not our resources, our military might or booming population. so there must be something or they wouldn't give a .. about us. (the first one who answers their good will and warm hearts will win the hypocrit of the week prize..)
or if there's no explanations, then it seems Hungary asked too obviously for us to be their bitch, so instead we choose to do our bitching somewhere else 😃
eFrench people have offer some gold to eSwiss... if you are affraid about your economy and you join a military alliance ? you want eSwiss definitive death ?
their good will and warm hearts (what's the prize??) 😁
(DE) Der EDEN beitritt war eine dumme entscheidung. Ein verrat der Neutralität.
(EN) The EDEN joining was a stupid decision. A betrayal of neutrality.
"No one forced us to join their alliance Inspector: we chosed it"
And I understand this. That you was bought.
Swiss chose EDEN so I chose to resign from swiss army.
I don't like America,Croatia and others so I make that decision,I can't fiht together with them.So I went in Russia to help PEACE in WW4!
I hope so that Swiss made good decision,because I don't agree with that,and I only could wish you like with your EDEN friends !
little mistake fiht-fight ! 😉
I'd Like to add a little something here.
Before I start I would like to state that I'm the director of the Foreign Relation dept. of Canada, so of course my opinion will be biased, but I think I still need to state our side of the story.
When we learned That switzerland was in need of a q5 hospital we saw the opportunity to act upon it. And don't get me wrong on this but, being a part of this project is a lot for Canada as we do not have huge amount of gold like a top 10 country. Nevertheless it was something right to do, for a country that as always shown sign of friendship toward us. We didnt gave that hospital to an ally back then but to a Friend. And also we helped build back a strong economy here, as we have set up many program to help you have access to Raw material that we have in our country. You might think there is an hidden agenda, that you see a conspiracy behind it, fine think it if it make's you more happy, but at least we provide result in the end.
And as for those who were thinking about neutrality, Neutrality is hardly an option when you sit next to hungary. Slovakia was neutral too, however they wanted to make some money and set up TW For numerous nations, unfortunatly, hungary didnt like it, so they wiped that country off the Map in a single day. The only safe guard agaisnt such a strong military force is to have in fact strong MPP, because if they don't like you, they can always erase you whenever they want.
Cheers and don't take it too hard on this government who as actually made available numerous improvement to their population.
Strong MPP is not joining EDEN/PEACE. We can find just friends.
SO you wanted to be in EDEN but without being in EDEN? come on Inspector... be realist, if we chose to do a MPP with someone in EDEN, PEACE would have said that we are on EDEN...
If they bought you, it's because u are next to eFrance, eGermany, eItaly, and eAustria.
All of them are PEACE countries, and trust me, when EDEN will invade Europe, they'll force you to attack one of theses countries in order to block it.
That's the only reason why they bought you, you are now the Trojan Horse of Eden in the Western Europe.
Congrats...
EDEN did not buy Switzerland.
Hungary extort nearly 1000 Gold from Switzerland for our first 3 regions, and wanted to hold on to the fourth one for another six months.
So the joining of EDEN was the only option for Switzerland to restore our territory.
Switzerland could also stayed neutral and just work for the moment with those 3 regions. However, the case of Slovakia has proven that this is a dangerous option.
Fourthermore, the invasion of Slovakia had also the set back for Switzerland, that we lost our TW.
If you put all that together, you can see that there was no need for EDEN to buy Switzerland. The only thing they needed to do, was treat Switzerland better then Hungary did.
And Hungary made that very easy for them.
agree with Monte_Casino !
Well how smart is it to becaome member of EDEN when you are surrounded by PEACE members? Your puppet regime can't fool anyone.
to be short, eden bought you for gold.
Yes we were bought, like your country was bought by PEACE...
oups... it's right, you made a choice, not us... try to make your brain work please...
