Beste ENederlandse spelers,
We moeten met België mee vechten tegen Japan, omdat we het volgende doelwit zijn van een aanval van Japan. Als we niks doen kunnnen we ons geweldige land kwijt raken 🙁
. Dat is waarom we in actie moeten komen om België te redden.

Dat is precies wat ze willen, een excuus om ons ook binnen te vallen. 😛 Wat is ons buitenlandbeleid? Zijn wij pro- of anti Asteria?
That is exactly what they want, an excuse to attack us too. 😛 What is our foreign policy? Are we pro- or anti Asteria?
we are not here to take a stance pro- or against Asteria. We are here to support Belgium while its being attacked by Japan and Montenegro
I'm getting question from Norway, being the Dutch ambassador there and the problem seems to be that "they" see us as anti Asteria because of this support. They tell me that Belgium is anti Asteria, that's why the AS's.
i would understand this reaction if it was belgium attacking Japan, but in fact it is the other way round.
There is a whole discussion about it in Norway now: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/an-open-letter-japan-montenegro-as--2525545/1/20 So the situation is not so clear that this is Nebula policy or not.
Since we signed the NSPP we have to defend Belgium. It is unrelated to whoever the aggressor is, or whether we are really the next target. This NSPP should be common knowledge definitely also in Norway, and hopefully also in Montenegro and Japan. But it us not something that prevents our nations from joining an alliance, and as such it's not an alliance in itself.
Like the name days it's a protection pact. I.e. it would not really apply if e.g. Belgium would be attacking. But I was under the impression that also Nebula was a defensive alliance, meaning that you do not have to pick the Japanese/Montenegrin side in this, since they're the aggressors and were never under any that from Belgium.
Regarding alliances, at the moment we're neutral. So neither pro or anti anything.
Regarding our support for Belgium: this is purely a defensive move as required according to the NSPP. We have no issue with Japan or Montenegro and hope to keep it that way.
PS: I'm just a CM, not part of the government, so these partly are just my own feelings... But I guess overall they are quite representative of our gov's position in the matter.
There was a typo. It should say "under any threat" at the end of paragraph 2
