The Question is... Why

(OMG serious editorial. It won't happen again. I think. I wrote this in comment to another article and liked it so much, I decided to put it here.)
SPECIAL NEWS FLASH!
Our editor (silly person that she is) has decided to officially-unofficially comment on the alleged Hungarian "take over" of the Norweigan government. While the majority of the staff still believe it's vampires (many people have commented and sent in for their stakes already!), she has this idea that people should ask questions and look for the true reasons behind actions. BAH! Doesn't she know that sensationalism sells?
However. Her signature is on our checks, so, here is a very special editorial!
EDITORIAL: Ok, see, I've been keeping up on the Norway v. Hungary thing and the question that springs to mind is... why does Hungary care? Seriously. Yes, maybe they're doing things "for the people" and maybe not. Yes, maybe our Norweigan government screwed up and maybe not. But why should Hungary give a flip about us?
That's the thing about propaganda: it covers what they REALLY want. WHY are they voting down the Citizen monies that new citizens get? I understand why the import taxes were the way they were... but why hurt new citizens like that? All it does is encourage them to start somewhere else. Why transfer funds to the Hungarian based "Fund for an Independant Norway"? Independant from WHAT? From ATLANTIS? From democracy? From gerbils?
The thing is, it is a democratic process, and the Commies have gotten a legtimate hold on our government, but the way they got it was deceptive in nature. They infiltrated other parties to get nominated and elected as well as making their own. If they were honest in the beginning, maybe... MAYBE I might have bought into the propaganda. As it is... no. It doesn't matter; even if the Commies whisper sweet nothings in my ear and do the best job Norway has ever seen, it's still tainted by the deceptive way they got into office.
KristofferAG might not be the best president, but he's owned up to any mistakes he's made (at least since I've been watching/participating). Sadly, I haven't been around long enough to comment on the other regular members of Congress pre-take over.
The question that people should keep asking themselves is WHY.

re: Maximilia
The citizen fee is not for attracting registrations. Remember, that you gain skill very fast in the first days, and you reach level 6 (5 gold) in somewhat more than a week.
(The tax changes will get the prices going down also - but its not even an original CPN proposal, so other parties should answer further questions)
The second thing: why? Norway was the career starting country for lot of older ones (because its economy was the most powerful), so we are grateful for that, but this is only emotional connection.
Other thing is, that Norway s falling apart, loosing its old pride, and that would lead to a power vacuum in the east, that would be filled out by eRomania. Yes, we were surprised to see, that now Romania controls more and more important regions, and as we know them, they won't give those back, so we are trying to fortify Norway, so in the right time, via diplomacy or via more serious acts- Norway should have those resources back. As you see, this pattern is quite logical, and our interests are common. (We are even thinking of supporting one of the Norwegian president candidates, some CPN members thinking Reboot might be a wise choice)
Our so called propaganda doesn't really exist. Because we don't want you to believe we are sg else. This pattern behind our deeds is clear and we are not working to cover it. We should work together for a strong and independent Norway, that is our aim and final goal.
As to the Fund for Independent Norway: the congrass couldn't function at all without a governmental org, so eNorway would be like a sitting duck.
You can check this org's donate list, and accounts anytime, so every citizen can constantly monitor their taxmoney(this is sg not really common in real world). We write an article every time in the current congress newspaper (Norway Renaissance) spending money from this org (not really common neither in eworld)
You've taken some ques from James "Sawyer" I must say 😉
Btw. We are not that interested in the eastern territories. If you just leave us alone, we could give them to Russia.
Alright, in response... from what I'm getting is that the reason "why" is twofol😛
1.) Emotional reasons, attachment, to Norway
2.) To prevent Romania from creating a power vacuum in the area.
The "propaganda" I refer to is the "We're doing this for the citizens of eNorway!" stuff that's been going around.
A good portion of my editorial regards how the Hungarians got elected to Congress, and that it was deceptive. Any comments on that?
A TO is never moral (however what you have in eNorway is still one of the easiest to live with) regardless the situation, I hope citizenship will be implemented very soon.
I personally see :
sadly it was a necessary reaction that source is some governmental(presidental) decisions
if you dig a little deeper, you see, that the non CPN congress is barely holding together, you probably had had an impeachment already, if there were no take over.
Also (like Mr T sai😛 do it for the children)🙂
our tax proposals are for the citizens and investors, like the training war, probably we over emphasize it.
Much of the outrage people have is the deception involved (sorry to be harping on the subject). It's of my opinion that such drastic measures probably weren't needed. It comes off as a power play, and after the fact saying "We're doing it for YOU!" is adding insult to injury. I won't deny that some of the benefits are good, but the point of the matter is that non-eNorweigans are coming into our country and saying, "We can run it better than you. You go play outside now."
That's the inferences that I'm getting. Instead of perhaps writing articles or talking with citizens about our corrupt government or their inactivity, or talking with the government officials about worries Hungary may have had, the commies just bullied their way in through gold and deception. That they could is a disgrace in and of itself, which is something we eNorweigans will have to accept and work on.
Because another part to the "why" question is why weren't other methods tried first?
I think Norway should decide if they really want their Romanian "friends" to display the same friendship they did with Pakistan..
Pakistan was never Romania's friend. Pakistan was an enemy, while Norway its an ally.
with friends like Romania you really doesn't need any enemies...
