Sweden - the Brink of War.
Mr Woldy
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.

The US President has already stated that this has led him to rethink his country's allegiance to Atlantis. Congratulations Sweden for destroying Europe.
My country is honored to receive the support of your fine nation. I hope that, together, we can build a strong Europe.

Check with the CP and SC before fighting against Sweden.
Well done Sweden! You just blew our whole alliance into pieces when we should be rebuilding!
Fight the good fight, Mr. Woldy. Truth and justice!
Will we ever see roll-mop herrings and bratwurst sitting happily on the same menu? We can but hope.

I believe there was nothing Atlantis could do...
Atlantis was "allies" with both Sweden and Germany. Helping one would piss off the other.
Atlantis allies just found themselves in a sticky situation.
I have no idea what will happen next, but maybe Atlantis should make it clear that they will remain neutral should two Atlantis nations choose to fight...
Why remain neutral when one party is clearly in the wrong? Past injustice is NOT (however much Sweden might think it is) a reason for military aggression. The eGerman government have been pursuing a democratic solution and the eSwedes release an ultimatum in kind to that of the Versailles Treaty.
What does "under Atlantis' protection mean"? Come to think about it, what does "Atlantis" mean? 😉
By the way, let's kick some swede backside.
Sacrifice Sweden to some other nations I say. xD
I don't understand what Sweden has ever done to your country? And saying that Sweden hasn't got a democracy? Who is the country that got a minister who owns his own mercenary company that TOs another country...?
Alecian you need to comprehend the views of an individual here. As I have told you before this newspaper does not represent the e-UK. I, as an individual have seen the miscarriage of justice on Sweden's behalf and will report on it. If all Swede's have this "You do something to us so we get to do something to you back" mentality that you seem to think runs the world, then you need to open your eyes.
Apart from the fact. that in reality Sweden has driven Atlantis into the dust, no you haven't done anything to the UK. So what? Do you expect us to sit back smoking cigars and watch? No.
Regarding the "Minister" You are obviously uninformed about the situation, what you said was complete tosh.
We must do the right thing!! Fight for Germany!
