Join the new world

Finally, after years, and years, of little-to-no contact, we have set our differences aside, and started a new tomorrow, together.

Last month, both our eNations had some talks, we both wanted to let the past, be in the past, but how? we all asked. A ping-pong TW was the answer.

But, how to set the past differences aside? I hear you say.
Well, the answer, is short & simple. Both our eNations went to far, we kept throwing mud at each-other continuously and tirelessly.

So when i was contacted as CP last term, about a TW, i had mixed feelings, of course i wanted to let the past go, focus on the good times, that was one side.
The other side, was skeptical.

But i choose to take the leap, talks continued, talks turned into concepts, concepts turned into an actual plan. And now, that plan is becoming a TW.

We can keep our heads in the sand, close ourselves off, from everything around ourselves. Or we can take our heads out of the sand, realize there is so much beauty around us, and work on tomorrow. Not being dragged down by what happened yesterday, but focusing on tomorrow.



In order to see what both President think, i asked both CP's some questions:


1. How does your Congress see this TW, Do they see it as a 'fresh start' for both eNations?
2. How do you personally see this TW, and, do you see the benefit for both eNations?
3. Is this 'a fresh start' for the relation between eNorway/eFinland, and your nation?
4. How do the Citizens of your eNation look to the prospect of re-kindling relations between your eNation, and eNorway/eFinland?
5. Has a possible TW been on your mind since before you talks were started with eNorway/eFinland?
6. Do you see this TW work beyond your term as President?
7. Please pick one of the 2 options:
Coffee, or Tea?
Cookies, or Cake?
Alcoholic drinks, or Non-Alcoholic drinks?
Toilet-roll: Up, or Down?
Own Transportation, or Public Transport?
Sunrise, or Sunset?
And most importantly: Yesterday, or Tomorrow?

I also asked both country's Congresses for comments, how do they 'feel' about this TW:

I received no response from the eNorwegian Congress
Luckily, The Congress of eFinland was able to provide input:

Kevan Lannister
'Terveisiä kaikille t: Jaska'

JNJK92
'Well, taking into consideration the recent past of our nations and the Finnish transgressions of past, I can but commend the trust the Norwegian people have decided to place upon us. And I wish we will be worth the trust and can further our reputation as reliable TW partners.

All in all I wish for peaceful cooperation between our respectful nations and warm relations.

-JNJK

Ps terveisiä kaikille t. jaska'
