My dear friends,
It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a good laugh with an eRepublik article, but this one has changed that. The prime minister of the UK, of course as an eworld leader he is very well informed about the politics in foreign nations…., has diverted his enormous intelligence to eBelgium. In an outburst of all-knowing glory he has put his finger on what went wrong with our country. And of course he offers great solutions for those problems.
The eUK supports our neutrality, they respect we not being part of any alliance. Therefore he asks us to fire someone that because he has stolen from THEIR alliance in the distant past… But there is more, we are governed by an EDEN majority, or an American one as The bank of England corrected. Well unless BfB is the greatest CIA scam ever I don’t really see where he gets that idea. Our prime minister is a famous person from the eUK and most of our congress members are ex-UNL and last time I checked the eUNL wasn’t part of eUSA.
Last but not least he admitted his nation manipulated our elections after our independence. Thou they claim they only voted for real Belgians they forget to mention there were other real Belgians and eBelgians at heart they swept aside by their actions. So, eUK, yet again the proof is given your information about your neighboring nations is not that good, maybe you should invest some of the money you beg from your population in that…
For a free and neutral eBelgium!!

the mind is like a parachute, it only works when open...
Come off it, what has the UK ever done apart from evict the Group?
His info is a bit old, but if you had missed Belgian affairs the last few months and seen them go from an effectively Phoenix country to completely neutral with ex-Americans in high up positions and congress, you would wonder what the UK/Phoenix had evr done to make them become neutral. The answer, of course, is nothing. The only reason Belgium changed is because they have been told that if they do not, they will be PTOed.
The article JamesW wrote is misinformed, but the aim of it was to warn you that you have hired a thief, and given them the opportunity to do it again. It just shows that the UK cares enough to warn you, and because nobody came back to JamesW the first time, he wrote a hasty article without checking all of his facts. Please answer me this: why has Belgium gone from Phoenix (they ran the UNL as the largest party when it joined Phoenix) to neutral?
we are no longer phoenix because the new generation eBelgians don't want to be part of phoenix thats the simple explanation.
Such an article has only one effect: creating unrest amongst the population, he should have contacted Apotygma and nothing more. It's the job of the CP to make a government team in eBelgium not the job of the eUK prime minister.
(Fact check: the US Strategic Air Command was ordered to Belgium and got a majority along with their EDEN supporters, and passed some nasty laws, which were repealed when they realised they were in for the long-haul and began trying to brainwash Belgians into thinking they were there for their benefit. The UK sent in some soldiers to Belgium, but many were ex-Belgians anyway, from the first war of Erepublik when Belgium attacked the UK so they could have an easy merger. Belgium was a fully integrated region of the UK for many months, even having a section on the UK forums.)
You are no longer Phoenix because the new generation Belgians, such as Rod and Free Belgium, are not so Belgian after all. He did contact Apotygma, but got no repsonse. He was just trying to warn you.
indeed some UK soldiers came, in the first ebelgian elections more people voted then in the eUK at that time, check my estimates in this article http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/goodevening-belgium--1167041/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/good[..]/1/20
UK's army must be big if you call that 'some' soldiers...
Yeah, they were all from the UK. Which is why EDEN got congress.

The reason we are neutral now is that being with PHOENIX didn't work for us - I'm referring to the Spanish and the Romanian PTOs. Being neutral has worked well for us, being independent for 4 months now, probably one of the longest periods of independence in our country's history. The eUNl and the Group are now in the past, the majority of the current eBelgian population doesn't have any affiliation with PHOENIX now (I'm talking about those hundreds of players who were born in the last couple of months, which is quite a long period in eRep terms), and we're happy the way we are now.
And claiming that the Americans have proposed "nasty laws" is a sign of ignorance or dishonesty.
It was a long time ago, but it doesn;t change the facts. Those laws couldn't have passed otherwise.
EDEN PTOs meant Phoenix didn't work for you? I guess that until you no longer have congressmen who will let in whoever, you have a good point.

"The article JamesW wrote is misinformed,"
Gee, if I wrote an article that incorrect in facts, would I get the same response?
I am disappointed in you Danie, such a comment shows a bias that I thought you were above. This brings into serious question anything you comment upon.
@Daniecox
You speak of internal BELGIAN policies and OUR government like we are some unruly children that must be brought under your control.
Why do you and the rest of your eCountry think you have the right to spam our media?

@ Thore: The UK is just doing what the USA has been doing since the beginning of the "independance".
It's really a matter of time before our other friends realize how eBelgium is being ungrateful to them. eBelgium is getting more isolated day by day. Sad really...
Isolated but independent and not taking orders from Eastern Europe.
Media is free. When eBelgium would be against articles from other nations it would prove that eBelgians neutrality would be like Eniotna sai😛 isolation.
To put a thief in a government may not be that wise. And for sure it is eBelgians choice to fire or assign such a person, not by will of any other nation. I am glad he resigned by himself, but he did after an article was published that informed the eBelgian citizens about the theft. I wonder without that article, with incorrect fact of the current eBelgian congress, if anything would have happened.
@Rod Damon: I think you are as much biased as daniecox. This brings into serious question anything you comment upon. 😉
The article wasn't informing the eBelgian citizens, it was accusing them of lots of unpleasant things. I personally only blame the eBritish PM, who published that article, for taking such an undiplomatic tone and for not settling his problems with Apotygma directly, the one who appointed the controversial Minister.
The main message was watch out for this guy who stole our company.
and the side messages were:
"you are dumb allowing him in your country"
"you are being brainwashed"
...
which of course can lead to a
"we have to take you over for your own good"
We're used to that Rod. We've been hearing it for the past 4 months 🙂
Neutral and having friends are both compatable. I disaprove of this article as much as I disaprove to jamesw's.
This one isn't official. So no harm intended.
As Reaussou says, there is a difference between a private person outing his grieve about the actions of the CP of another country and a CP that insults a neighbour country
@Eniotna
Where has the eUS published an article telling us how to run our country? In fact where has the eUS even published an article in the Belgian media? I must have missed it..
What I see is the eUK telling us what to do and whom we can have in our government..
I just have one question for you, what happens if we don't do as you say?
I'd think that posting an article in the media is less harmful than trying to PTO the eBelgian congress...
you are right is is terrible how the hungarians are secretly doing that
It's weird, I don't see any Hungarians in Congress?
Now the brits will put an embargo on us even if it's not damaging for our economy since we weren't trading whit eUK (99% taxe can do that)it show that the brits has become clearly hostil toward Belgium now would be a good time to look for allies before the brits invade us. They surely want to"free us".
@Eniotna
that is why it is a secret. just cause they have enough voters on their own to claim about 1/3 of congress, which is why I keep pushing for the BLT reductions to reduce ALL tactical voters equally in tandem
@Rod Damon, you are biased, as I am too. Better ignore your comments and mine.
Keep pushing till you are gone. XD
But for the record, eUS has people in eBelgium congress. Just when someone is not using the eUS army avatar any more, does not mean they are nor eUS soldiers.
@Niemand
The eUS army does not allow it's members to hold any political office, let alone office in a country outside the eUS. Maybe you are just showing a RL bias in a game where RL location means nothing.
Xgentis, people like you are partly the cause of the embargo, but I still strongly doubt there will be an invasion. The eBritish won't spend lots of Gold just to "punish" us for hiring someone they don't like.
What did I do?
Are you accusing me of the embargo.
I just find inacceptable to be ordored around by a foreign country if you like it it's not my fault. But accusing me who has no power but is a eBelgian who want the better for our country of being the cause of a embargo put on us by the same guy who think he can tell us how to rule our country is an insult.
I'm accusing people like you for overreacting, people like you on both sides of this conflict.
@Thore Thoreson: RL does not have anything to do with my point of view. Maybe the eUS army does not allow it officially, many know better. But maybe for some eUS soldiers it is not political to be in the eBelgium congress, maybe it is their way to try to enforce other nations military. I do not know, I am not part of any eUS group. Maybe Rod Damon can inform us better?
