Referendum: United or not? That's the question
Ministerie van Media en Recrui
Dear citizens of the United Netherlands,
We(the government), have decided to make an referendum on the union. We don't think we should decide on the union, so we ask it to you this way.
You can find it here.
We have the following options:
-Merge with Belgium
This means we retake Belgium by military strength, forcing them to reunite with us. We, the government, don't support this, as it's their own choice to be independant, as their government signed a declaration of neutrality/independance.
-Stay United Netherlands, keep an open dialog with Belgium
We, the government, support this option, as we think it's both the most profiting as most realistic option.
We unite many people in our country, and we think it should stay this way. Belgium will still be our friends, and we will still talk with them.
-Go back to eNetherlands, but English
We will go back to how it was before the merge, but out of respect for non-Dutch citizens we will keep talking English.
-Go back to eNetherlands, forsaking everything and go Dutch
We will go back to how it was before the merge, including the language. Everything will change back to Dutch.
Vote for what you think is best for our union!
The government of the United Netherlands
Comments
a little bit late, but okay, thanx!
I vote for "Merge with Belgium after careful negotiations"...
But it isn't there, so I guess I'll take the first option (as on the forum, that is explained a bit more nice than here 😉 )
Let's go over the options:
- Merging with Belgium: You said it yourself, their people and government do not want us. Plus we don't really support it.
(not possible)
- Negotiate with Belgium: In essence, this is maintaining the status quo (the current situation). You do not come with ANY solution here to problems and it will only serve to confuse people.
(possible, but useless)
- Go back to Netherlands, but English: This keeps all the non-Dutch speakers here AND it gives the country a good border, instead of making wrong claims to Belgium. What is wrong with calling us Netherlands again?
(possible and useful)
- Go back to Netherlands and speak Dutch: If you do this, you will say: "All non Dutch, gth out of here!" Might sound nice to some xenofobic Dutch players, but you will ruin international relations and your own nations.
(possible, but not wanted)
So, when going over the options we see that the only useful one is to call ourselves the Netherlands again and speak English.
@Boklevski - I guess we should be grateful the govt didn't decide to do this with twitter.... 😐
LooL I voted "Merge with Belgium" ! I didn't know that it wisll be by the strenght !
I vote, the last option , terug naar nederlands 🙂
Governement only propoe what they are ready to do.
They propose in first "retake Belgium by military strength, forcing them to reunite with us."
Even they say they don't want (well, it cost nothing to say it. So, it's inteligent to put it), they are ready to attack our country.
The country of the people they fight so strong during the time we was merge with...
"I vote for "Merge with Belgium after careful negotiations"...
But it isn't there, so I guess I'll take the first option (as on the forum, that is explained a bit more nice than here 😉 )"
What need to be done by a unautoritharian and good governement.
But, yes, "it isn't there".
Vote I&W, kill your own country.
I vote for all "USA Seals like Gassie125 should refrain from comments unless they start with wanting the best for eUNL and/or eNL first"?
And wanting the best is... like... not fighting against it or its allies?
Dear Dutch citizens,
In responds to your poll I would just like to say: "nuts!!"
We will however accept all offers involving UNL merging with Belgium and all NL citizens becoming our worker slaves without the possibility of them standing for any election.
Kind regards for you Southern Neighbour
Belgium
Shadowukcs doesn't speak on behalf of eBelgium (and I hope he never will), but come on guys, let's be realistic - is there a chance of a reunion? I would say no, but I could be wrong. I would support my opinion by saying that most eBelgians (those who reside in eBelgium, even excluding the PTO'ers) probably prefer independence and neutrality, and not unimportant, our "friends" from abroad would prefer it too and would do everything to safeguard this (I can imagine them having a nice budget put aside for RWs 😉 ). And although emotionally I can understand the "Merge with eBelgium" supporters, but rationally I think this era has ended for at least some time to come (nothing is eternal in eRepublik 😉 ).
So please respect our choice to go our way.
Ha ha, nice one shadow 🙂

Why have to work so hard to make relive a country?
The diplomacy is the queen of all the projects. We hadn't her visit in Belgium.
We asked to have the neutrality, we try to make something of indeed. My question is the following one: do you Think that Belgians all speak about English or nederlands?
These last days, I spoke with 10 belgians who speaking French . It's time for belgium to say : we exist.
UNL and Belgium are different.
