Fail.

Idiot!! Balkan mentality! Why not Croatian or Slovakian??
Go home betrayers!
No fail...EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

You ask some good questions, so here is an attempt to answer.
1. Croatia already has a war against us and the battles are blowouts: if we NE them, it is very unlikely to change the outcome of those battles. This alone cannot rule out an NE on them - a small help is better than nothing. But there are better options to consider.
2. If Slovakia is holding some regions, these are regions Croatia cannot currently conquer. So there is some benefit to have Slovakia hold some regions. If we NE them, probably it would not change the outcome of our battles with Slovakia either - but it might drain resources that didn't need to be drained. Worst case, we reconquer regions which Croatia then easily takes from us. This option does not seem very helpful.
3. It is important to understand that Croatia is fleeing now from Slovenia. By NEing Slovenia, we enable them to catch up with the regions Croatia is holding in Austria. It is possible Croatia would RW regions themselves to escape Slovenia. If not, to have Slovenia in the neighborhood can greatly help our chances to push Croatia out of our regions fully. Therefore, this option is considered the best at removing Croatia - and likewise considered the best by Slovenia.

Further, it is worth noting that OEBernd is home. I say that not just in the sense that eAustria has been his eHome the entire time he has played this game, but that Austria is his RL home as well. So I am not sure what you are getting at here. This is not to suggest that a player from a RL foreign nation, such as yourself, cannot be a good citizen of eAustria - just to question the reasoning you are using in telling a RL Austrian to "go home."

1. Why not have eAustria MPP-s with other two members?
We are two members or not?
You destroy the eAustrian MPP-s, bonuses, economy with your suicide anti PTO actions.

2. -3. Eslotakia and slovenia regularly steals eaustrian bonuses and destroying our small economy and moral too.

At the en😛
The serbian PTO go ahead, your serbian PTO enemies inside the congress (2nd places) and put more CS for serbian PTO-ers. Every minute they put a new CS for their friends.
Some of Kurucs - like me - bored and hated your suicide actions (like 1.2.3.) your stupid behavior and your constant political and strategically impotence: permavipe of eAustria and eaustrian bonuses.
We will destroy your exhausted old PTO. Sooner or later. We are patient.

Dexx is coming to you. 🙂

1. There is more than one reason. One reason is funding: even with all regions, there is only enough tax revenue in a month for about 2 MPP's. Maybe you could argue in that case, taxes should be raise😛 but our goods are already more expensive than other nations. Plus the difference would not be so great I think.. ultimately its like cutting off one hand to give the other exercise. Personally I don't think taxes should be raised. Countries are better off with more money left in peoples pockets (both real and digital), and its not like it could pay for tons more MPP's anyways.

Secondly, just as the tax base is lower, so too is the damage we can offer. Since our soldiers can easily move to a neighboring country to access their MPP's, the rationale for signing many MPP's is lessened (from our perspective and that of allies too). Big nations worry about money too, and though full TWO members have to MPP each other, the smaller ACT members do not have that requirement.

Thirdly, and related to the above, we are in a sort of unique strategic location. If someone has reached us, that means they have fought through some bigger nations, and that there is some pretty big stuff going down. There are other, more practical ways that our resources can be used than maintaining a huge amount of MPP's.

You acknowledge there is a PTO effort. You may feel it is not that big a deal, but the thing that would be lost is something you never really have participated in here anyways. I don't say this as a criticism; different people play in different ways. But I think it is fair to say, you do not concern yourself with trying to work with others to create public policy here.

But many do. There is an ability of a player to start out here, learn about the game, earn trust, and rise up to play a big role in the affairs of Austria. Many of these people are RL Austrians - this is afterall, eAustria - but many are foreigners too looking for a different sort of community than they might find in a large nation.

Why a PTO breaks this process is that trust building is thrown out the window: votes are gained through mass immigration or multis, not by earning organic support in the nation. The path to advancement is broken to new players outside the PTO. There are many other small nations out there where any RL presence is gone or minimal, meaning any national growth or renewal becomes strictly PTO related (in fact, really it is most small nations in this game). They become rather skeletal, and frankly, boring.

I hope you can at least understand how others could value the existence of the public, political world, and would want to work to defend it. If it is highly valued, the "suicidal" actions would not be a wipe, but to allow a PTO to move ahead full speed towards destroying the core of the nation. Loss of regions or bonuses are inconvenient - but to someone who is playing, in order to have an impact on how their nation works, the loss of that can remove the whole purpose of the game to them.

Hi,
I know you.
You are an old PTO-er too, who fear from the new PTOs.

You lie, when write about the taxes.
Eslotakia has 85-110 active citizens, and have 4 MPPs with the main two allies, like HUN.
You don’t, because you destroy eAustria with eslotakia or with eslovenia month by month.
This is not a tax revenue problem.
Because thats, you are a liar.
You did not answer 2.-3.
When you destroy your homeland decrease all economic parameters: the amount of taxes, the number of citizens, the production of citizens and the moral too.
You destroy not only the economy of eAustria. You destroy democracy too. Not only this way, with permavipe, you use multies for this.
You are not only liar, you are fraudsters.
You lie about the taxes, about budget. Nowhere write you any public information about the eaustrian budget, eaustrian national organizations. You stole the taxes, national organizations too.
You are not only liars, swindlers, you are thieves.
You destroy not only eaustrian economy, you destroyed long time ago the eustrian community.
You say from ourself, that you are the real eustrians, your friends are real RL austrians. Yeah, makedonians, germans, americans, “székely”-s. All 70 "original" eaustrians with a lot of multies. 🙂
You are truly a "community": community of robbers, thieves, "community" who are worried about their prey.
You are hyppokrites.

Your PTO will ended. I help to close your PTO carreer in eAustria. Really.
Dexx is coming to you. 🙂

Rangeley go home! you have no idea.

Honestly, I don't think you know me very well. We have barely talked to each other, and not really outside of these occasional comment discussions.

Political players, and PTOers, may both run for congress, they may both run for President, they might both try for cabinet positions. So what is the difference? In my opinion, the difference is whether one is playing in a social way, or an anti-social way. Or said differently, is someone earning support through gaining trust from others, from their own actions in game, or are they "moving up" through multis and mass immigration?

From a young age, history and politics always interested me. When I joined this game, it seemed interesting for the possibility of being somewhat of a political simulator, where you could participate in a public setting and have an impact. I think to many people, this is the appeal the game really offers – it's something they really got right. You can find a lot of enjoyment without spending any gold. I think it would be very unfortunate if this appeal was destroyed for players (both present and future), and Austria became closed off to people who wanted to play that political game.

In my opinion, protecting this is worth the sacrifice of temporarily losing bonuses, or some tax income (though its worth noting, there are deals in place to send us lost tax income). It is not ideal – ideally, there would be no PTO threat, therefore there would not need to be any sacrifice. But that is not the situation – it's one where you have decide between steady tax income/regions, at the cost of allowing a PTO in, vs some disruptions to the latter and fighting a PTO.

Rangeley : there are too many words and too little the facts.
You was built your gang here many years ago.
You are an old PTO-er of eAustria and your time is gone, your gang is over.

The facts:
No public budget, stolen eaustrian taxes, stolen eaustrian national organizations.
No any MPP-s have the two member eAustria.
3 enemy fight against us: eslotakia, eslovenia (our "allies"), ecroatia (our and two enemy).
No bonuses.
No elections since a year, no democracy.
You will be kicked out.
Really.
