A Sign of Dissatisfaction!

Dear Friends
The time for Version 1 will appear soon. It appears that the major parties with the exception of FBS are supporters of independence of Denmark. It is time to create a sign of our unhappiness in Sweden. Not that Sweden is a horrible country, just that Sweden is not *our* country. And in that light, how could we ever be happy here?
The issue raised quite often against Danish independence is "but Denmark won't have the same developed markets as Sweden! How could you ever be happy!". The answer to that is quite simple. The consumption inside E-Republik bares little correlation to consumer happiness. This is because everything consumed is entirely digital and really bares little effect on the overall gameplay. Sweden is not our country because of the language and cultural barriers. Because there are still Swedes who simply dislike Danes for being Danes (some of them express this unhappiness by spamming my articles.) Which is quite pathetic in it's own right.
And quite simply the path to power and the community in Sweden was and still is less developed than the Danish national spirit. This is no fault of Sweden's, it's much harder to organize a large nation than a small one. It's much harder to organize a nation with no next door enemies than it is to organize a nation with an incredibly large and hostile next door neighbor (Sweden, obviously.)
Sweden is not for us. And in recognition of this fact I would encourage all supporters of Denmark to temporarily change their avatars to the Kongemærket of Christian the 10th. King of Denmark during the nazi occupation. Christian the 10th became a darling of national spirit when during the occupation he would ride through Copenhagen with no body guard. A nazi SS soldier once asked a Dane why he had no bodyguard, and the Dane replied with "All the people of Denmark are his bodyguard, why would he need anything else?". He was eventually imprisoned in his home by the nazis due to a rather humorous event. On the birthday of Christian the 10th, Hitler dearly wanted good relations with Denmark and her royalty, so he wrote a very long and cordial congratulations to the King. The king replied with a very short memo saying "Vielen Dank, Hr. Hitler."
Which of course through Hitler into one of this famous tantrums. This was the last act of Danish insubordination, Hitler disbanded the Danish parliament and put King Christian the 10th under house arrest.
Christian the 10th for the entire occupation was a sign of resentment and discontent among the Danish population. In that spirit I encourage all Danes who want independence to adopt the Kongemærket. The symbol that is in my avatar and the image of this article.
Længe Leve Danmark!

I just moved here. I will help to fight the Swedes when V1 is released!
Bravo! Nice article! I will change my avatar, in the spirit of Danish independence.
Just moved to Sweden, and you already hate us so much? Why don\'t you just move to another coutry then?
I\'m German, but as I am part of this movement & party, I shall happily use that bitchin\' avatar!
Nice article!
Here\'s my comment Per: http://www.erepublik.com/article-615981.html
josefstark - a very fine comment!
Daphne, who would\'ve thought you\'d still be around? Very glad for your support. 🙂 I suppose you got tired of EUSA?
Frozen4, I haven\'t just moved to Sweden. Sweden moved to us 5 months ago, so to speak.
Battlerager, the avatar is open for all, it is a very Danish symbol but I do not want it to be only for Danes, it is for all occupied by Sweden.
BRNL, dank je veel! (excuse my spelling)
Josef, I\'ve already commented on it. 🙂
I would love to see your reactions if eRomania came and take over Danmark.
what about germany? they should be independent, too!
i just joined erepublik, so i dont know what exactly happened.... i just know that germany messed up 🙁
I´m keeping my thumbs up for you Danes!
Självständigt Skåne!
NRS, of course we believe Germany should be free too.It\'s in our name.
It is \"Meinen besten Dank. Chr. Rex\".
Other than that it was a great aricle.
Nice piece. If indeed the major parties are not opposed to the idea of a free denmark, it is peculiar that they do not mention this in their manifestos. Futhermore I find it appalling that Swedens official position is not aligned with that of their major parties. Are they running a democracy or a dictator-shop with impressive window dressing?
And on a more lighter note, to Xynz, I do believe the correct quote is:
\"Sprechen meinen besten danken aus. Chr. Rex\".
You may be right, even though I have never heard that version before. I will do some research and find the correct answear asap.
Voted and subscribed 😉
Different sources will tell you different variations I\'m afraid.
So it seems.
