If we can be neither here or there, why the heck should we be anywhere?

Good Day readers,
First of all, I will introduce myself. Hello! My name is Robert Knotsworth, but my friends call me Robert for short. I was a well known figure in old eAustria, seeing as I was very politically interested and never one to keep myself to myself, I was a congressman for two terms and I did ever so love to use my newspaper to support the union (and try and hurry it's creation up a little) and insult Silent Bob.
I haven't really settled in yet for some reason, but it's happening bit by bit.
Right, now you've read my Autobiography, I want to get onto my article.
From what I've picked up about eGermany-Austria's dilemma in picking which alliance to join, I feel that joining either will have disastrous consequences. For the obvious thing, eSweden would come over here and have something not fantastically positive to say if we joined with Peace (and we'd also lose the Burgenland to eHungary) and if joined Atlantis eHungary would have an excuse to attack the eAustrian regions and thereby burn our homes and slaughter our children. If that's not enough, We occupy, basically, central Europe and therefore one of the most important strategic points in the entire world. This means that if we decide we can put up with the consequences of joining and said alliance we would be contested during to war which would break our citizens and our economy, possibly permanently.
So what will we do? Well, that's for congress to decide. But if I could offer a suggestion, I would suggest we stay neutral.
If we did, then there would be no official pressure from either eHungary or eSweden. Of course, the two enemies may, if they so wished, attack us for something we have (e.g position, grain) that they want but I believe they would have bigger fish to fry attacking their barbaric enemies/defending their sweethearts rather than nabbing a bit of bread or devoting soldiers to gain a little living space.
As well as the lack of negative things, some positively positive stuff may arise like perhaps Any citizens wanting actual peace (rather than the badly named alliance) may join eGermany-Austria to get a little quiet time while to war boils itself to a pulp which may mean that, maybe, we might just perhaps come out, with lots of luck, at the top (or just on) of the top countries list.
So if I could just suggest that, that would be great.
Thank you.

We've BEEN neutral- but to stay neutral is to remain a backwater in the world; we miss out on so much.
like being overran?
I agree. Being in a backwater while everyone else kicks the crap out of each other and then coming out is much bettr than fighting and then being taken over. And also, maybe, gain ourselves a few territories for ourselves when the dust settles.
PEACE! VOTE SUNTER AND I WILL PRESS US INTO JOINING PEACE!!!! wooooo!
The hell with them all, we should form our own allyance...
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha das funny.
@Sunter
We should definitely be mature and civil about it, whatever we decide.
I agree with the article. I think we should remain neutral if at all possible. But at the same time we should recognize that there is an element of risk with all options.
I think that we should seriously consider creating a Central European alliance (or union) with the Netherlands and Belgium (and Denmark?). This would help keep ATLANTIS and PEACE in check, while ensuring our own dominance and safety. If anyone has cared to notice, Spain is on the move in Portugal, and I feel that Ireland, the UK and France cannot stand by for long. Italy has already shown an interest in expanding. (Hell, maybe we can have some of them to join us?)
Ich denke dass, wir sollen ernst mit der Niederlande und Belgien (und Dänemark?) ein mitteleuropäisch Bund oder Verein. Es würde in Schach ATLANTIS und PEACE halten und unsere Dominanz und Sicherheit zusichern. Haben Sie mitbekommen dass, Spanien nach Portugal auf Achse ist? Ich fühle dass, Irland, das VK und Frankreich nicht sehr weit warten können. Italien hat ein Interesse zu Expansion. (Naja, vielleicht können wir sie beteiligen?)
(I apologize if my German is not exact.)
xD xD well writen article xD
sad but true, eHungarians would eat the eAustrian youth alive 🙂
