ONE is the loneliest number.

I am writing this as a personal citizen and in no way in any role I currently hold. Just wanted to make this clear from the outset.

Firstly, yes, Australia left EDEN. I note that there has been a fair amount of discussion about this, and potentially this meaning we would then join ONE.

Frankly though I would like to state - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE THINKING!

Just because we decided to leave a relationship that has been full of great sex and pleasure in the past, yet turned a little sour because they didn't enjoy doing it with us as equal partners, does not by any means mean we are now going to consider batting for the other team!

It just means, for now, we are looking after our own interests. Most bad romances end this way - you stay single for a while. And though we no longer enjoy the marathon sessions any more, doesn't mean we can't still be friends.

Yeah, I've heard lots of speculation and rumours - however, I don't think given it took a referendum to join EDEN, that any move to ONE will ever occur without full discussion as our own peoples, and then something a bit more forward than crap developed by other countries with an agenda.

So, just chill out people. If we are going to participate in some fun soon, and this is not necessarily with the full support with our ex boyfriends, this doesn't mean we are going to turn the date into something more physical.

Enjoy the good times!

people who are pro-ONE dont think about the rammifications.

ONE is a dumb idea and the facts are in the world map

Hail eAus! \o/

I don't care what alliance you are part of - I will always love and support eAustralia.
And yeah, the eIndos are evil! : (

Greetings from eSweden (ONE) ; )

I would have to argue that ONE has not be bad at all and yes all of us people who are considered "pro-ONE" have considered the ramifications of being remotely aligned with that alliance.

What bothers use more is that compared to ONE, TEDEN has forced more nations to either align with it or basically accept getting wiped, instead of letting them remain neutral and choose their own path.

In eNZ's case, while yes a majority of our MPPs are with ONE nations, we still sought out ties with nations like Austria, Belgium, Thailand and Malaysia in the past (when some of them were considered neutral).

Still, I wish eAustralia the best of luck and hope our two nations can one day create lasting ties.

They're just jealous because ONE members have bigger cawks ;-o)

i'm sad to know that eAustralia left EDEN.

I dont think you should go to ONE, just as i dont think ONE would accept Australia, for the simple reason that Indonesia needs your regions and you are their easiest path to get the resources they need.

If Australia joins ONE im pretty sure you guys are going to need to rent your regions to Indonesia, and stay without your full country for a long time.

We fought very hard together the South Africans and TERRA/EDEN to free Australia from Indonesia's claws, its would be really sad to see you guys joining the other side.

I have no doubt it would be a bad decision for Australia, however looks like the ones in Australia who are pro-ONE surely dont mind and just want to look for something else other than a peaceful and stable country.

Stay with us, Australia.
You guys might not be in EDEN anymore, but dont forget you got friends in TERRA.

This article is not to promote a discussion of why we should or should not join ONE. Indeed if you read my article, the point is it is ridiculous to even speculate on something that is not presently, nor in the future, likely, to be the case.

Every actual measure aside from departing EDEN (MPPs which have been renewed, messages from the government, lack of any formal discussion) completely supports this is not close to being considered.
