A Predicament...

To Compromise, or to Resist?
======================================================================
Hello
After an absence, I have returned. Dealing with RL scenarios, the time also provided me an opportunity to reorganize, re-prioritize, and restructure. To my luck, there was not much to comment on regardless.
With the Party President Elections passed, it seems as though the Hungarians would have the upper hand. They won the PP position in every party available. However, there are two major counterpoints to that thought.
1.The True South Africans will always make a new political party, and will always have the numbers to place it within the Top 5 parties, which allows the True South Africans to still run legitimate Congress candidates.
2.The Hungarian PTO'ers have lost their homeland.
While the former shows the strength of the True South Africans, the latter is the more important one at this point in time. See, while the Hungarian PTO'ers have been siphoning funds from our country, they were not able to fully support their own country, during its vain struggle to stay on the map from an unforgiving assault by the EDEN super-alliance.
If you do not understand quite yet, allow me to explain. See, when a country loses its place on the eWorld map, it is in a difficult predicament. If, by the next Congressional Election, it does not have a region in its name, there will be no Congressmen for that country. This effects many things, the main point being citizenship. Without any Congressmen to approve citizenship applications to Hungary, the game has no choice but to grant every applicant Hungarian citizenship, in what most call 'free/open citizenship'. When this happens, the other alliance, EDEN in this case, will have one thing on their mind – Political Take-Over. Yes my fellow countrymen, our aggressors, our oppressors, have been threatened with the very thing they practice.
See, this puts the Hungarian PTO'ers into a difficult spot. In the event Hungary falls to 'open citizenship', our aggressors will have a difficult choice to make.
They can either:
A. Give up the eSA PTO, move to Hungary, and show their loyalty to their country by fighting for its ownership. This would show that they still care about their own country, but the price of abandoning the eSA PTO will be heavy.
B. Continue the eSA PTO, ignoring the pleas for help from their true countrymen, and disgrace not only themselves, but their Hungarian brothers. This doesn't even measure in the fact that the PTO is soon to fall, regardless. All of that sacrifice, all for naught.
See, if 'open citizenship' is inflicted upon Hungary, the Hungarian PTO'ers will have to decide: Whether they fall prey to the Deadly Sin of Pride, or the Deadly Sin of Greed.

Hungary being wiped off the map is going to have significant implications for our Hungarian PTOers...
Hopefully they'll be heading back to their pathetic homeland (or what used to be)
Hail South Africa!
What if the Hungarians, after losing their country, using eSA as a sanctuary? We are, after all, allies of Hungary de jure. Furthermore, with Hungarian rule in eSA, they'd have more political power than they would if they were refugees in an allied country. Not to mention the high titanium regions as well as the unlikelihood of a foreign invasion. This would definitely make the PTO worse for those who'd change their citizenship and stayed to assist eSA.
I guess we'll just have to see what happens. Regardless, destroying Hungary seems like the best option right now. The status quo needs to change, the difference is for better or worse.
@Shiloh DeGreat
While I understand your point, and commend you for expressing your opinion, I will have to disagree with you. The Hungarian PTO'ers, at this point in time, have roughly 55 passes to hand out every Congressional term, the number changing relative to population of the country. To hand out more passes would require them to gain more positions in Congress, which the True South Africans have been preventing since the PTO began.
The current ratio is 3:1, in favor of Hungarians, while evidence in Country Presidential Elections hint at a lesser 2:1 ratio. With this, the Hungarians cannot simply overwhelm us with numbers from Hungarian refugees, instead having to accept a low, set number every 30 days.
The easiest, and least expensive option, would in fact be to drop the current eSA PTO, and assist their brethren in Hungary. If the Hungarian home country falls to EDEN, then their PTO here in eSouth Africa will have minimal meaning.
Maybe we could all switch countries...
LOL!
I'm just smiling.,, : D
It's fun that you guys thought that Hungary will be off the map for a long time. It was like 5 hours, now we're back getting back our regions one by one and we have no open wars... : D
@Griuumadar
We will see who will be smiling in the 25th of November. I've heard that Hungary goverment already got tickets for you guys... hey but wait... goverment of which country? I forgot that Hungary doesnt exist🙂
@prometeusz
You've heard it wrong : D
Hungary is already back on the map.
Btw. I've got the feeling that you guys don't understand how the free citizenship works : D
Griff, you do realize that the Freeman dude probably released it when Hungary was OFF the map, right?
The article was published last night and Hungary was reclaimed today, so yeah, the article was and still is relevant. Just because Hungary is reclaimed doesn't mean it's safe.
Nevertheless, thank you for the article. If nothing else, it explains an interesting game concept that I never really understood. Actually, sections of this article would be a good addition to the wikis. Even Griffmadar could agree to that.
"Not to mention the high titanium regions as well as the unlikelihood of a foreign invasion."
herp derp. eAustralia and the eUS
