This my friends, is a beautiful snapshot of Belgium's countryside.
And this my friends, is a beautiful snapshot of the Netherlands' countryside.
Two places that are so similar, yet divided by one artificial border.
Now, I ask you, citizens of eBelgium, what is your view on merging with eNetherlands? Do you think it will benefit us? Do you think it will increase our strength and safety? Do you think it will boost our economy? Or do you think it will only lead to chaos, betrayal, and loss?
I'd like to know what you think. So please, vote on whether you think it would be good for eBelgium and eNetherlands to merge. Comment below as well if you have anything you'd like to say.
Vote HERE
Yours Truly,

300% In favor.
Remember to send me a pm once I'll begin to create my gov, I might have a job for u 😉
No never not while I am still around.
Yes it would be a good thing, i'm in favor for about 400 %
Under the Belgian banner only. If not, then no.
So many things would have to be worked out to make it work. So many things that it would probably fall apart attempting to merge.
No. All my eLife, I spent fighting for Belgian independence. Unless it is under our banner, then I will agree to a merge, if not, then forget about it.
@M.Leviathin, It will only work out if one side will do it with a bit force. But i have confidence in it that your next president Jofroi will work out a good plan on this 😁
When I am talking about a merge, I basically mean that eBelgium will be the leader, and eNetherlands will be our junior partner.
As Shakerr said, it needs force as eNL wouldn't agree to a merge without having their banner. I doubt it will be plausible as neither side will give in. x|
Next president? He still need to be elected and knowing he want the end of ebelgium I won't vote for him. We didn't fight off the british to lose our independence the next month.
I am not working with Jofroi currently, actually, I have different plans and opinions. I just posted this to see what everyone else's opinions are.
Their capitale is cut off from the rest of the country so if we merge under the dutch we would lose our economic bonus.
I am in favour
with our black red yellow flag... or else, no!!!!
i don't know : it's not only our decision.
We have to keep values.
The respect also is to listen the other one.
Totally in favor of a merge who can only be positive for both sides. Last time the merge was under the eNL banner, this time it can be the eBE banner 😉
Of course the same poll/vote/decision has to be made on the Dutch side.
no
And this poll is stupid since everyone is allowed to vote. If you want to make a representative poll, make it in gdoc and ask ppl to post their nationality+citlink.
@ shadow :
It is never stupid to say our ideas
it's the liberty of expression.
I don't agree to make every thing in a forum. We need debates here too. The game is here at first and some players don't go on forum.
We must respect that too.
I am for a merge as long as belgium keeps its name and green is a nicer colour on the map imo
mmhhh... not really in favor personally.
if we keep our banneer and english as official language, it could be ok, but to be under a dutch banner and have to speak nederlands, well, no, I don't like the dutch flag (belgian one isn't especially better, but has better colours), and my dutch sucks/ ik speek niet goed nederlands. (as my mother tongue is french)
and the south of belgium is really different my dear, the ardennes have a totally different look.
"Or do you think it will only lead to chaos, betrayal, and loss?"
I think it will be chaos first, then more constructive dialogue and maybe even some peace, but then betrayal and/or foreign intervention, and finally loss. History is a wise teacher.
History is indeed a wise teacher... to avoid that history repeats himself.
I don't think there will be a lot of chaos because the people who arranged the previous merge are still there, ready to share their experience.
English will always be the main language, french and dutch comming on the second place.
Impossible to do, Poland is in the way 😛
omg merge with ePoland then... impossible, the langage is terrible 😁
"@ shadow :

I mean the poll is stupid. I know for a fact that Dutch and foreigners voted in that poll as well. If you do a poll, you should do it on the forum with every voting citizen confirmed to be a ingame citizen.
At least open citizenship is not an issue anymore (feature removed), but it would lose a lot of congress medal gold each month (50 - 150G/month depending on Poland). Also, any enemy would just RW the other country away. Also, half of you wouldn't get to vote unless you changed citizenship, and if you did get new citizenship then the other country would just be a PTO magnet.
we could also always just annexate southern netherlands: they don't use the cows anyway 😁
