Don't complain to us cuz we'll hear Nunavut. But don't worry. Anything Yukon do, we can do better.
Mes amis, the Dutch. Such a friendly people. I love them. Don't you? They want to be in Asgard with us, partly because of us. They believe in fighting TWO, just like us. They know the pain of being wiped for months, like us. They know the difficulty of being the underdog. It's tough...very tough.
I want to help the Netherlands. But standard methods of going to their occupier and socking them in the gut won't be easy. It's Poland. Not a weak country, Poland. Other than a flash in the pan for congress every few months, the Netherlands can't do anything against the Poles in terms of long term security in the region without paying money for their own land. Frankly, they're in a pickle.
But here's an idea. Our team is working tirelessly towards liberating this nation, through war or peace. It doesn't matter how, but we will be free. And I'd like to ask a huge favor from you, the Canadian people.
When we are free, we will have the 13 provinces and territories we deserve back in our grasp. The Dutch have always been a friend, and if it comes to war, they have already pledged their undying support. How can we repay them? How about giving them some regions?
Am I getting ahead of myself? Perhaps. But I've tossed this idea around for months, and it looks like we might finally be able to carry it out. But of course, we want the approval of the people first. I want to give some regions to the Netherlands, both as a gesture of friendship to the Dutch, and to help them with their quest into Asgard. The main argument is that them having congress isn't viable, and that liberating them would be a hassle. In our safe midst, it wouldn't be an issue, right?
Now, this will take a lot of effort, but it's possible. The Netherlands has an airstrike, and they have won regions for a short duration in the past. Difficult? Yes. But doable. We have plenty of time to try. And give a few strong CoT MPPs and coordination, and the airstrike wouldn't be impossible in the slightest. What's the plan afterward? Here's the general idea.
We have 13 regions, but not 13 resources. We, in fact, have plenty of duplicate resources. I want to give perhaps as many as 4 regions to the Netherlands. They had 4 before the pink brigade stormed in and burned down Amsterdam, so it's what they deserve. Which four? How about Yukon, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and Alberta?
Whoa whoa whoa. Giving regions away? Never! Is that what you're thinking? Well, calm down. There are three major concerns there would be. First, we'd lose bonuses. Second, Netherlands can't hold the regions anyway. Third, it's not worth the effort.
Now, giving those regions away seems, at first glance, to be a horrid mistake. But no worries. First off, we have spare deer, fish, aluminum, and cattle. We can give these regions to the Netherlands, and they can enjoy nice 60/20 bonuses, some of the nicest they've seen in years. And this comes at no detriment to us. Second, don't worry. We might have to help them hold onto the regions, but the detriment is minimal at worst. And if you're afraid of an enemy airstriking them (a genuine concern), not to worry. We border them, or America borders them. They can't take the Netherlands down without going through us
🙂
And of course, why wouldn't it be worth it? The Dutch may not be a powerhouse, but they are one of our closest, truest, most loyal friends that we have in this game. Why shouldn't we help an ally? And besides, there's that little thing called rent fee. Personally, I'd be happy to just give the Dutch the regions. But I'm sure that the Dutch would be happy to pay a small fee for the lands. A reasonable something, but something all the same. That helps cover any costs we have for holding onto their regions as well.
I love the Dutch. They're swell guys. It will take some time for this idea to come about. But don't you want to help out a true bro like the Dutch? It's the least we can do
🙂
Let me know what you guys think about the idea! Any feedback is welcome ^.^
Until next time, take care!

poleado¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Good luck 8D
Thanks for supporting us 🙂
Down. o>
That's a real nice gesture, even if the idea is never to be executed, I'm touched by the thought someone cared enough to write an article about it, someone other then a dutch citizen. Thanks a lot!
You know Shoi ..... You could've said that to the cabinet to discuss and see if its a viable option to begin with, because we have to account other elements to this. It is a good idea though 🙂 And ain't 4 regions too much ..... just saying
Just tossin around ideas. Obviously, we have to be liberated first ; )
And I chatted with Oinyo yesterday about it, as well as the Dutch president today. Not like this is anything official yet, but just giving something to think about. It's mostly to see if eCan would be interested in such an idea :3
Thanks for the article, I'm very touched to see someone cares about our situation. Many greetings from the Netherlands, ehhhhh Poland =[
OK. Being Irish-Indian-Dutch I can vouch for a lot of things you've discussed there. It is possible for something like this to be achieved. But have you actually considered the logic of how you go about achieving it? The only way this is going to happen is for Spain to agree to leave Canada, Poland to allow us back on the map, and then an airstrike or a *lot* of understanding from eUK - something that rarely happens.It's nice, but would need diplomacy of the highest level.
poland to allow us???? WTF... we can win a war for a region... we do it all the time.. its keeping it thats proven difficult... Allow us.. that makes me sick... not sure how long i can stick around with this type of attitude.. it sucks!
It's not my fault you can't deal with facts. the fact is that Poland can take our territories any time they want. The fact is that a majority of eNetherland citizens do not want to enter a deal of renting our regions back. As long as Poland is not threatened, they we remain perma-wiped.
However, with the forthcoming war between CoT and TWO on the line, it may suit Poland more to enter into an agreement with us. That could include allowing Canada and NL back on the map.
Now calm down little man
Its the attitude and choice of words... like.. "calm down little man"... first of all im a grown adult.. who would easily beat you to a bloody pulp if your had the balls to show up attempting to insult me in person... what a little chump you are... a sad & unfortunate part of the game...
the facts are we have won 4-5 wars since i moved here march first... and poland didn't let us win any of them... we where also 2 points from taking WN & oil from the pink.. those are the facts... they are pretty simple!! We Do NOT need the pinks permission to win a war & a region long enough for elections... Just a little organization, a plan... & a little faith!! Try working on that positive patriotic attitude.. and check the insults.. or find another country to slander..
bye now
I hear an orange heart beating. Thank you for thinking of us.
This sounds too good to be true, thank you for considering.
Yeah!
Im tired of this situation,no congress since 6 months,i cant go back home,wtf is wrong with spain?
same as with Poland mate, they just don't respect others. 😛
Thanks for at least considering something like this no matter what the verdict will be!!!
It's truely a fantastic idea! And ofcourse we'll repay you guys for it!

We love you Canada!
Greetings from the Netherlands, how awesome than another is thinking of us! Its a nice idea o7
Do it, once we free ourselves, they can have Yukon and a couple other useless provinces ; )

Sounds like a great way to provoke Poland, who isn't far from out doorstep, to invade us after we finally get Spain to pull out.
But, we always seem to stick our necks out for allies and friends no matter the consequences - I see no reason to change that now.
I dont see why Poland would attack you for the purpose of getting at an escaped Dutch. They aren't likely to care about that. But they may have other reasons for attacking you
Sure, Poland probably doesn't care much about keeping the Dutch wiped, but that doesn't mean they'd appreciate us helping them back on the map - interference generally isn't appreciated, no matter how small the stakes. And of course I'm aware of the other, bigger reasons - but we'd still be adding more fuel to the fire.
I'm fine with the idea of renting out regions.
Obviously it's not practical while we're occupied, but I don't think the question is whether it's practical today: the question is whether we'd go for it three or six months from now, with Spain off our backs - and I would.
Before we get to that point, however, we should also consider that relations with the US could be better, and if we were friendly there are some natural region swaps with them - we both have resources to spare which the other lacks, and which are conveniently right on the border. For example, we could swap NS + PEI for Alaska and Minnesota, so that they pick up fish and deer, and we pick up oil and grain - in which case we'd want to keep either YK and NWT, or BC and AB, for a corridor to AK.
So, sure, but think bigger and don't get hung up on specific regions.
I'd be in favour of this. We have a lot of duplicate resources. I wouldn't necessarily give up the 40% weapon bonus once we get it back as it helps the economy and our players and maybe with retention.
Another option could be supporting them with an airstrike on India where they'd be nicely tucked in with Croatia Albania and Bosnia. Pretty sure they can hold those regions too.
Oh I see now, BC NWT Yukon & Alberta are all duplicate resources. So yes, am for it!
Great article! Please check mine🙂

Vote, sub, shout
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
Talk about putting the cart before the horse. It will great to be in a position to debate this for real. We are in no position to grant anyone sanctuary. I don't see that changing even if we do get our regions back.
\о/ wow (: Netherlands in Canada *__* how sweet
a great idea but I'm not sure someone if can RW Canadian regions of Netherlands.
Anyway.. Shoi, you're the gentlemen and your idea makes me love you, Canadians, more!
Go-go, Canada!!!
An interesting idea. Our first concern should be liberating our regions, but this is a worthy plan once we get to that point. Cementing an alliance with the Netherlands and making sure we have friendly neighbors, even at the expense of territory, offers a net benefit.
I fully support this idea! Good thinking
"Am I getting ahead of myself" , you bet you are
easy plan to foil, AS is launched Poland, Spain and UK tank for Canada. Done in one.
Fully support... join us at the hip. Better to share eCanada territories with a friend than to have none.
Great, great, great sentiments - after all I am a RL Dutch-Canadian. Not enough Canadians are aware anymore of our great history together including part of an Ottawa hospital being temporarily made Netherlands territory so a Dutch royal could be born on Dutch territory - we did it once, we could do it again:

But I thought his Oinyo-ness wanted to leave Asgard?
you know when Holland played in the last world cup, half of Prince Edward Island wore orange
