This is just an opinion piece and isn’t meant to represent the views of the eCanadian government.

申明：這只是我個人的意見而並不代表e加拿大政府的立場。

eSpain have issued an NAP proposal to Canada [viewable here], this consists of the following:

e西班牙已經向e加拿大提出了NAP（點我查閱），此提案包含了以下條文：

NAP PROPOSAL

NAP提案

1 - eSpain will have Newfoundland & Labrador, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. eCanada will have the other nine regions.

1 - e西班牙將擁有包含Newfoundland & Labrador、New Brunswick、Prince Edward Island及Nova Scotia四塊區域，e加拿大則取得其他剩餘的九個地區。

2 - Neither eSpain nor eCanada will fight on the resistance side in any RW on those four regions. eCanada will ask its allies not to fight for the resistance side.

2 - 不管是e西班牙或e加拿大都不會在那四塊地區的起義戰中發起攻擊，e加拿大也會敦促自己的盟友不要在這些起義戰中輸出。

3 - All the regions will be back through RWs, no direct attacks. eSpain will coordinate the liberation of this regions through RWs.

3 - 所有的領土將會以起義戰的形式歸還，而不是以直接攻擊的模式，e西班牙將會來統籌歸還這些領土的起義戰方式。

4 - This NAP is subject to monthly renewals by the CPs of both countries.

4 - 這項NAP將由兩國的總統每個月重新簽訂。

*

As NAPs go, this one has real merit. Spain ARE NOT extorting payment for ceding regions back to Canada, they ARE NOT demanding multiple roads to their capital, plus the monthly renewal allows each new Canadian government to review and potentially reject this treaty at any point in the future, a move which is written into and secured by the proposal. So its not as if Canada is tying itself down if they accept this offer.

總的來看，這項NAP是有實質益處的。西班牙並沒有藉由放棄那些領土借機敲詐加拿大，他們也沒有要求更多道路通往他們的首都（譯註：應該是表示要求更多領土...），此外每個月需重新簽訂的NAP也保障未來新的加拿大政府可以再次檢視及拒絕此項條約，而這都是被明確列入此項提案的，所以若加拿大接受了這份NAP並不表示加拿大就此吃了虧。

The perception that this is a “surrender” to Spain is entirely wrong. Firstly, since when has signing an NAP been considered a "surrender"? Spain signed one with the eUS when it was wiped/near-wiped by BrUSA and no one thought Spain were "surrendering" at the time. Secondly, that NAP -- the Iberian Treaty -- set Spain and BrUSA on the road to improved relations, and its this relationship which is a contributing factor -- probably the main factor -- to eSpain securing 10/10 bonuses. Alliances are polarising institutions in this game, NAPs are one means to evolve past that form of tribalism and develop mutually beneficial relations with perceived "enemies". BrUSA and Spain did it after been locked in combat for months, and all sides profited from it. No doubt Spain and Canada can do the same.

若因此認為加拿大已經屈服於西班牙就是大大的錯誤了。第一，什麼時候簽訂NAP就被認為是舉白旗投降了呢？西班牙曾經幾近被BrUSA殲滅時與e美國簽訂了NAP，但沒有人在當時認為西班牙投降了。第二，另一個NAP（Iberian Treaty）的簽訂促進西班牙與BrUSA雙邊關係，並也是西班牙達到十全的的主因之一。聯盟正逐漸地往兩極分化的方向走去，而NAP正是與「敵人」從過去部落主義過渡到發展雙邊互利關係的一種方式。BrUSA和西班牙曾經被困於兩邊的大戰數月之久，但兩邊都藉由簽訂NAP而從中獲利，毫無疑問西班牙和加拿大也可以做到同樣的事。

NAPs based on material resources are the future of this game, they're overtaking the bonds alliances are supposed to provide. The days of alliances based on empty slogans like "loyalty", "brotherhood" etc. are behind us, and can't be used to justify opposition to this NAP (an NAP that countries like France or Germany would grab with both hands) simply because its with a perennial enemy like Spain.

建立在資源上的NAP已經是這個遊戲的未來，而NAP正逐漸取代過去由聯盟所提供的國與國之間的聯繫。過去聯盟以「忠誠」或「兄弟情」之類空洞口號作為號召的日子已經過去了，也不能單單因為是與死敵西班牙簽訂而就此來反對這個NAP（例如法國與德國也曾握手言和簽訂NAP）。

It should also be noted that Spain are pro-CoT, and have excellent relations with some CoT countries. So signing this NAP shouldn't harm Canada's chances with that alliance, indeed quite the reverse.

而應該也要備注意的是，西班牙是親CoT的國家，也與許多CoT國家擁有很好的友誼，所以加拿大簽訂這項NAP不但不會傷害與CoT的關係，反而會改善雙邊關係。

In conclusion:

總結：

If Canada say NO to this NAP eSpain has the damage/allies to keep Canada wiped permanently. As long as the Iberian Treaty between the eUS and eSpain holds (and it will!) these are the facts Canada must work with.

如果加拿大拒絕此項NAP，e西班牙依舊可以使加拿大維持滅國的狀態，只要e美國和e西班牙的Iberian Treaty仍然有效（在未來也必定如此！），這就是加拿大必須認清的事實。

If Canada say YES to this NAP they regain nine regions, get their full indigenous resources back, secure their congress for the foreseeable future, get one of the strongest nations off their back and also get an NAP with this nation.

如果加拿大同意此項NAP，他們將重新取回九塊領土及資源、國會，擺脫一個強大的國家的佔領並和其簽訂NAP條約。

This proposal should be viewed as Spain trying to normalise relations with Canada, something that a lot of old enemies are doing across the globe.

這項提案應該被視為西班牙正為與加拿大雙邊關係正常化而努力，就像是目前世界上其他許多過去的死敵正在做的一樣。
