[UPDATE] Should EDEN Fall...
New Faustian Man
These (mainly according to rumour) are the likely destinations of each of the EDEN powerhouses in the event the alliance disbands.
China/eRoC - The automatic choice appears Circle of Trust, as the Pacific theatre is almost completely CoT or CoT-aligned, CoT membership would give China and Taiwan great regional security, and mean the only genuine threat would be an attack over land either through Russia or Asia Minor by TWO forces. Thailand is TWO but is obviously vastly underpowered to trouble anyone in Asia.
Verdict: Circle of Trust
Colombia - With the emergence of CUA (Colombia-Uruguay-Argentina), Colombia have already committed themselves to a regional alliance, but in a post-EDEN world where TWO are pitted against CoT, its difficult to see what kind of a future CUA would have, especially against Brazil-Chile backed by one of the major alliances. There have been rumours that Argentina have already inquired into TWO membership, so where this would leave Colombia is anyone’s guess. Considering they’re currently under sustained attack by a CoT country, Mexico, following Argentina (if those rumors are correct) into TWO seems more likely.
Verdict: TWO
Croatia - The Croatian CP proposal to leave EDEN looks like its going to fail. There’s been talk it was only a shot across the bows of fellow EDEN members regarding their failure to support Croatia when they’re overkilling in their own battles, but I don’t really know how accurate that is tbh. At a guess I’d say Croatia would favour CoT membership over TWO, for obvious reasons.
Verdict: Circle of Trust
Greece/Romania/Turkey - There are rumours Turkey have been negotiating with TWO (via the Poles) for around 3 months, and the Greeks and Romanians with TWO HQ for about 2 weeks. If these three do opt for TWO, Argentina won’t be far behind considering their ties with Turkey. For me the biggest surprise in any of this is the suggestion Romania are headed for TWO, a move that would sunder the Croatian-Romania bond, something that’s been around since the early days of EDEN.
Verdict: TWO
First EDEN logo ever (unless I'm not mistaken)
These would be the line-ups if everything above panned out as rumour predicts:
Circle of Trust: ____________________TWO/ACT:
1. USA________________________________1. Hungary
2. Mexico_____________________________2. Spain
3. Belgium____________________________3. Venezuela
4. Bulgaria____________________________4. UK
5. Japan_______________________________5. Poland
6. South Korea________________________6. Slovakia
7. Indonesia__________________________7. Thailand
8. Rep. Moldova_______________________8. Slovenia
9. Chile_________________________________9. Serbia
10. Lithuania__________________________10. Estonia
11. Paraguay___________________________11. Latvia
12. Peru________________________________12. Montenegro
13. Rep.Macedonia___________________13. Turkey
14. New Zealand_____________________14. Argentina(?)
15. China______________________________15. Greece
16. eRoC_______________________________16. Romania(!)
17. Croatia
18. Brazil(?)
19. Germany(?)
20. France(?)
21. Russia(?)
As you can see above, Circle of Trust would be massively overpowered by TWO/ACT, I’m not sure the exact breakdown in terms of numbers but I’m pretty confident it would be greater even than the advantage ONE had over TEDEN.
Thoughts?
*UPDATE* According to the latest leak, Turkey is the only current EDEN member that seem likely to join TWO. Greece-Romania now appear to be on course for CoT. This is liable to change ofcourse. [ Source: Rumour ]

Mmmm, this picture's definitely not as bad as the first.
Serbia-Hungary-Poland-Turkey-Spain-Argentina-Slovenia versus USA-Bulgaria-F.Y.Macedonia-Brazil-Greece-Romania-Croatia-China-Indonesia would be interesting indeed, and pretty well balanced too.

Poland and Romania allies? I've got to see this. : D
Not like this. The real question is: Romania and Hungary allies? 🙂)) NEVER!
I think this is pretty much what most analysts had been thinking for quite some time now
If only there was a LEGITIMATE party to accept them.
Did you post on the wrong article, LR2?
No, why?
What does 'a LEGITIMATE party to accept them' reference? Do you mean who will accept EDEN nations when the alliance folds?
Simply that as long as the AFA rejects real democracy it is not legitimate.
This is an article about the potential collapse of EDEN, what in the hell has it got to do with AFA? Nowhere in the entire article is the AFA even mentioned or eUS politics for that matter -- did you even read it!?
Miau
Seems like nonsense. Can the turks REALLY go on the serb side?
What about eAlbania?
Turkey fought alongside Serbia in ONE, so it wouldn't exactly be breaking the mould if they joined TWO.
But it was all before Kosovo poll.
I think Turkey and Serbia on the same side is even less possible than Serbia and Croatia on the same side.
They were together in PEACE and Phoenix.
No they can't. There is much difference between SRB-TUR relations back in ONE and now.
I hope you're wrong. That's pretty depressing reading.
croatia and mexico will NEVER be allies
EVAH!
Careful there, you might get bulgaria'd out of your own alliance.
of course... they´ll get out of the alliance they created...XD
i belive u that !!!

Keep taking the pills 🙂
In any case it will be more interesting. : 3
How are negotiations going then Cookie? 😃
Wonderful! Phase I complete... 😁
What does Phase 2 involve...?

Turkey in TWO? Whose idea is this - EDEN or CoT?
Turkey in TWO/CoT?
Romania in TWO?
Greece in CoT?
Good joke : D
I think Albania would be on CoT because of the otherside is Serbia. And May Indonesia would switch from CoT to TWO.
Romania are headed for TWO ??
allied with Loland?? never ever
Poormania, dont listen to americas.
lolad=traitors. We never forget.
Rumors say that, there will be a new alliance named I.N.C.I.
lol, its more likely that they will form a new alliance, because basicly nobody likes COT, and hate TWO
kinda crappy journalism if you didnt take that into consideration
How about eBIH?
Too difficult to guess where the slew of smaller EDEN countries will go tbh.
Greece cannot be in COT. FYROM is already there. 🙂
I agree, it seems unlikely, but as I say above I'm just relying rumour and what's getting leaked. Greece into CoT seems a much better fit imo too.
*Sorry, should say Greece into TWO seems a much better fit
CoT, together with Albania and Croatia
lol
Macedonia and G*eece in same alliance hahaha not gonna happen !
[removed]
The first option appears more or less right. Maybe the final alignment will be even worse for CoT.
This course of action was obvious since USA aligned itself with CoT
Circle of Traitors is more like it...
Science-Fiction ; )
It seems obvious that EDEN is not long for this world, as all their core members have been talking to other alliances.
I am afraid that Turkey won't be able to join TWO ever...
I mean I am "afraid"...
