Australian Independence, A (IRL) Canadian Perspective
•
by intrepid132
So, it looks like Australia is independent, at long last. And not through the expected hard-fought independence battle, either. Tim09 wrote an article (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/australia-to-gain-independence-700078/1) that announced that the key australian players have signed off on a deal with Indonesia to free up three former australian regions. The major restriction is that Australia is not allowed to join PEACE. So far this is all info you could get from reading the above article. So why am I writing?
As a real world Canadian, and a rather new player in eRepublik, I don't have the personal connection to the issue. Quite simply, I have no vested interest in the proceedings. I see this as an advantage, others may disagree.
First of all, I would like to state that I believe in Independence for all nations unjustly taken over. Australia is no exception. It is an honest and just cause to free a people, and in that, I congratulate Tim09, Zaney, widdows, and all of the other Australian and British players who supported this in any way possible, from negotiations, to the fateful fight for NSW, and to this momentous occasion.
I know that some people will think that the contract with Indonesia is a sell-out. It should have been all or nothing, "Give me Liberty, or Give Me Death!" sort of thing. I have yet to see the actual contract, but from Tim's article, it sounds like Indonesia is putting very few limitations on a free Australia. Not joining either of the major alliances is no major problem. Australia can be part of ATLANTIS in all but name, unless Indonesia is involved in the battle.
However, I will qualify this support, as I have not seen the actual contract, as it is apparently under some last minute negotiations. If Indonesia should violate any part of that contract, war can be the only result. And if it comes to war, I for one will not shy away from supporting Australia in any way I can!

"However, I will qualify this support, as I have not seen the actual contract, as it is apparently under some last minute negotiations. If Indonesia should violate any part of that contract, war can be the only result."
And I think the respect to the contracts works both ways. Thus it is also applied if Australia should violate the contract, war is the only result..
Yep, I completely respect Indonesia's right to ATTEMPT to reconquer Australia, if that happens, but remember this, as always:
ATLANTIS WILL BE WAITING!!!!!
The "DOGS" of ATLANTIS Always watch out for their pack!
And hey, when you guys were running your drill, you could have at least voted this up :^P
