Is Great Britain becoming the Swedes of the eWorld?
Brathasena
As you all know, in our glorious real life world, there are few countries as cowardly as Sweden. Since the 18th century, they have been very afraid of engaging in anything resembling warfare. They let Norway become independent without a fight. They claimed “neutrality” in both world wars. They aren’t even in NATO. I would assume they are only a signature away from abolishing their army all together. Is Britain now taking this role in our eworld?
Britain has a history of belonging to, and being viewed as, a valued member of great alliances such as PEACE GC, Phoenix and ONE. But in the last alliance shuffle, our government deliberately drew the short straw.
Today we are left surrounded by bananas, curtesy of the one man show Serfasrtsalot. I’m not saying that all bananas have gone bad but they sure leave us with a lot of monkey business..
I realise that alliances are more a thing of the past. Recent updates to the game have slowly taken the strategy aspect out of the game. Strategic and organised assaults are far less importants now that individuals with high credit limit can change the outcome of battles if the wish. Personal alliances between nations are becoming a norm rather than cooperation and organization through the alliance beurucracy.
This leads me to my point: After breaking ties and alienating some of our closest allies through joining Sirius, (then later being stabbed in the back by the bro we blindly followed into the alliance), UK finds themselves in an unusual position; Unwanted as a “founding” member or even just a member of a useful alliance.
This has led the governments of late to agree to all kinds of whimpy agreements with all neighbouring countries. Never mind the NSPP. Now we are allied to Ireland, we have a NAP with Norway and now we even going to signing agreements with Canada!
We are soon NAPed with all our neighbouring countries. Personally I think this is some real chicken shit attitude. And I think we need governments with a bit more backbone.
I say lets keep Wayne in power, at least with him he have a leader that can make us victorious against 6 simultaneous attacks. Better to be conquered than ending up like the eWorlds Sweden!

there is no greater shame then being a chicken in an online game 🙂
The country you're running to whenever a serious campaign starts is that for months now.
Luckily we'll never be like them.
You okay Dave?
There is no alliance for eUK to join at the moment, is there? All we have is Asteria and Asteria lap dogs such as Pacifica.
We are soon NAPed with all our neighbouring countries. Personally I think this is some real chicken sh1t attitude.
Here, Here !
Then again, the last time your lot was in power, didn't we end up getting wiped in record time??
nope
The union between Sweden and Norway broke up with both sides thinking it was for the best. The referendum was a nod to due process....
While Sweden claim neutrality during the world wars, it was this neutrality that enabled them to harbour the Jews who were on the run from the Nazis... You should look up the story of Raoul Wallenberg who was very much Sweden's equivalent to Schlinder - he saved circa 100k Hungarian jews during the war (largely thanks to pretend Swedish passports). You'll find a lot of Swedes faught against the Nazis in an unofficial capacity. Sweden never declared officially for either side as it was the neutrality that provided the cloak to protect people - some of our own downed pilots headed towards Sweden as the closest safe haven.
Sweden has a very small professional army but then again they do have national service. It is debatable if they need a full army since the population is so small in relation to land mass that they would be simply rolled over....
sounds liek we fine British gentlemen should head on over to sveden and help dem poor svedish models populate the land mass
Nah, eAmerica or eChina still hold that title...
I always forget about China.
Which says all you need to know.
ssshhhh! I'm playing my eFarmville.
don't disturb me, please.
Right now, everywhere is the Sweden of the eWorld with the exception of Belgium.

Swedes are OK, now if you had called us turnips that would be fighting talk!
A swede is a type of turnip so technically calling you a swede is fighting talk...
You don't wanna become pigdisgusting homo-Swedes!
Why is Danish Adastros so homophoic?
He just doesn't like root vegetables.
There should be war with France or Ireland, damn that emerald isle 😛
