[QoD] What makes eDenmark so special ?

Day 2,719, 17:26 Published in Denmark Denmark by Maine Coon


Someone once asked me; "what is special about eDenmark" and I could list quite a few things that I think is special. But I don’t have much to compare against.



I was eborn in Sweden as Denmark had a Union with them as I started the game. This Union broke fairly soon after, and eDenmark was on its own again.

Pretty soon we faced the first PTO attack in my time, and we lost control. We were lucky that the leader of this PTO did not ruin our country, and after a while gave us back the control. But now we knew, we could not manage alone and we knew that a new venture with Sweden was not an option. This meant that we turned to Germany and started talks about working together as one.



This is now history and more than 3 years ago, and we still have a great Union with Germany (Germark was created and signed 1/1-2012) In all the years we have been working together, exchanged citizens and been fighting side by side, helping each other and our allied.

eDenmark have no MPP´s, but follow the German ones and that actually work out fine. The only problem we sometimes face, is that our commanders can’t just change orders as they want with no MPP´s. Gamemechanics only let us have a prioritylist of 5 countries to fight for or against, and which battle is chosen is up to the game. Only battles we can decide ourselves is the ones where it´s eDenmark fighting, and only for Danish side.

I wish that could be changed in order to help small countries like us with no MPP´s. We do not have these by choice, I know that, but we need to be able to exchange the regions with Germany once in a while. Losing MPP´s everytime would be rather expensive for both countries.



All these events have made eDenmark a very special community. We might have parties, but we move wherever we are needed or our vote is.

We might have a President, a Government and now a Queen, but we make all decisions democratic by talking to each other. Of course we do not always agree, but in the end its the safety of our country that matters. The talks include most of the German Government too, as we take our Union and teamwork very serious.

eDenmark made a program to help Danes earn a bit more, and we still hope to get more people inrolled in this program. Money to do this comes from our savings, as eDenmark earn next to nothing in taxes these days.

The many PTO attempts on our country led us to close the borders tight, and we only let in people that we already know or trust, or that already have friends we trust in the country. We need to be able to keep fighting of evil forces trying to take over our Country.

This can only be done, if we have people that follow how we do things here. People that are willing to work for the country and not only themselves.

I know we have been called paranoid about this, but it saved us numerous times over the years.



Back to the special things about my country. Like I wrote earlier I do not have much to compare to, which is why I asked some of the people who came here to help us out. Some left again and some not. Some stayed in our irc channels, and are still a part of daily talks even though they don´t hold our citizenship anymore. We consider these people as friends of eDenmark, and hope they might return and ask to get citizenship again one day.




About the choice of eDenmark :

HeapSeppo:
I chose Denmark because originally when I looked for a country I looked for a small community with people that I liked. At first I only knew a few people like a special lady bug out there and a pony. They quickly pulled me into amazing community and I knew early on that I had made the right decision.

Fhaemita The Apostate:
I joined Denmark for some peace and quiet, I heard a lot of good things about Denmark and I see a lot of good people going to Denmark. It's a great country with a small yet very tight community who unlike other countries are able to pull together and get things done. Where other countries around the eworld are heavily divided Denmark due to their history of PTO threats stand together and have shown to be super efficient especially in fighting PTO's.

None:
I had made contact with eDenmark prior to me moving in, and i found a small, tight and welcoming community. This was so tempting change of climate from eFinland that i didn't need to think too long about it.

Aragorn II:
The atmosphere, you may all be "paranoid" about pto but every single one i meet are 5* people. Home , is here you feel good with you and others , and even though I’m not from denmark real life , i feel i am ingame 😛

Gucio:
I think I chose it because I knew you and I was sort of running between Switz, eUK and ePL, then found Denmark and moved there.
Denmark is quite a very clean "God" country, without any issues or PTO’ers, thus the community is nice and peaceful.

Zacharia Raven:
While working in Asgard HQ I happened to work with Maine Coon on something, and I got a small view of the Danish mentality. Later I became a Game Moderator and I got to work with her even more. Talking with Maine Coon made me very soon realize that eDenmark and I shared a pragmatic playing style, which had died in eFinland.
While the community is small, it's efficient and dedicated. There are no trolls or people who just wish to harm the community or the country, which enables eDenmark to act swiftly when needed.



The answers I got, all show very well what makes eDenmark special; it’s our way, its our people and its the way we handle our country, and the teamwork such a small country are able to have IF people are willing to set personal gain after safety of the country.

I am pretty sure that our way would be possible to transfer to other nations, but only the small ones as the entire nation need to be able to work together. On the other side, if our way was adopted by others, eDenmark would not be so special anymore. Maybe we should just keep our way a secret, or at least not tell everything 😛

This article turned out being way longer than I thought it would be, and was written by suggestion of Ushlau as he thought it was my turn to write an article 😛
