Sweden - the Brink of War.

Day 545, 03:14 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Mr Woldy
Sweden

Recently, you probably have read that Sweden has been planning on invading Germany. I myself wrote an article about it, here:
http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/sweden-and-atlantis-798495/1/20

This morning it was brought to me attention that Sweden has indeed proposed war on Germany. This, despite the fact that it could cause a fissure in Atlantis, the very reason CP's have been urging Sweden to negotiate democratically.

You can see the proposal here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/Sweden/law/6597
Judging by the amount of votes, a very small portion of Swedish Congress believe in democracy. This proposal itself is from the Swedish President, so I'm sure we will see battles opening soon.

Fortunately, I also learnt this morning that Britain has an MPP opening with Germany. So we can all help repel the Swede's. You may have heard, that the Swede's proposed some Conditions to Germany that if were followed would prevent war. These conditions were:

Sweden will be granted the following regions permanently: Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg, Lower-Saxony, NorthRhine-Westphalia. Also, if Sweden later on requires, Rhineland-Palatinate shall be transferred to Sweden.
Germany will pay Sweden 200 gold per month in 6 months. This sum of gold is only a deposit and will be paid back to
Germany after the 6th payment from Germany with 200 gold each month until the sum is paid back. If a RW is started in any of the Swedish-German regions and the region is lost, the deposit will forever belong to Sweden.
If any of the Swedish-German regions is lost to Germany they are obliged to return it to Sweden.
Germany will not be a member of Atlantis. However, they will be under Atlantis’ prot
ection.
You've got 24 hours to come up with a answer, 00:00 18/5 2009.


These proposal's are ridiculous. If I was expected to make a decision on wether or not they should be accepted, I would have said no within 10 minutes. The German government has wanted to settle this peacefully, but unfortunately that is no longer an option. Sweden are saying their reason for war is that Germany didn't follow condition's of a treaty they had, outlining the continued occupation of German regions for war with the French. They also claim that they should keep Schleswig Holstein because they built the Hospital there. I do not believe that building a hospital in a region means the locals shouldn't call for a resistance war. Regardless of this, Germany has a new Government now, and a new CP. Sweden should stop digging up old Grudges and start making new friends, before they alienate themselves. I urge the remainder of Swedish Congress to vote No.
