eNorway; National Referandum concerning our EDEN-membership
Kristoph Woldskji
The matter at hand
This is a matter which have been discussed back and forth for some months, actually even before the creation of Asgard, and namely- creating or joining a northern brotherhood.
And time have passed, EDEN have been in turmoil with serious trouble keeping up against the CoTWO-cooperation and internal disturbances.
Amongst other stuff, then the remaining/acting parts of EDEN HQ, have put some pressure on me to find out what our official stance in regards the these matters will be.
Here you have the public forum-files of our newest discussion regarding EDEN vs Asgard (please read here if you are not familiar with our current situation);
Tinyurl or full link
So to officially mark the end of my term as your president, I am putting up this national referandum to see what the people of eNorway want us to do next...
And with history being like it is and time pressing us hardly, I am only giving two options in this referandum, “STAY” or “LEAVE” EDEN, with “LEAVE” also imply us applying for membership to Asgard.
TWO (aka PEACE, PHOENIX, ONE...) have been left out here because of our generally hostile relations with them through the years.
CoT could be an interesting option, but as I can’t say anyone have championed their cause, then I will let them slide for now...
As this is is a rather serious matter, but with a somewhat short deadline, this referandum will run open till the 8th of February
This might seem as an act of cowardness from my behalf, leaving the next CP and his/her administration of eNorway to make the call.
But then they would have the referandum to rely on, telling them at least what the people want...
EDEN vs Asgard; my view of them
EDEN;
- We are founding members, but still- the smallest current member.
- Still way superior to Asgard in terms of damage output.
- Experienced personel from the alliance’s beginning
- “Eternal” Balkan-wars...
- Can most likely keep the current relations with Asgard as a member
Asgard;
- Would have to apply for trial and start from scratch.
- Real-life neighbours and most likely; in-game brotherhood.
- More localized fighting and probably in wars that appeal to us more than the Balkan-wars, though still it is absolutely possible to still fight for others in MPP battles of our other friendly nations.
- Can most likely keep the current relations with EDEN as a member.
- They are having a good relation with our leasing-partner Russia.
Additional comments;
I might seem to be a bit too pessimistic regarding Asgard here, I don’t want us to be too optimistic on how things will continue if we are to join them. At the end of the day - they are offering us nothing certain, but they offer friendship - which they have proved during our UK war. However though, this will be a new direction for our eNation, no matter what!
EDEN on the other hand has become, according to my personal observations- a hornets nest, as no one fights for EDEN anymore and the brotherhood-part seems to have gone missing.
The options and who’s eligible to vote
So then I again present you with the options of this referandum;
A ) STAY
Stay in EDEN; work for and with HQ to try rebuilding the ancient alliance into it’s former glory.
B ) LEAVE
Leave EDEN and apply for membership in Asgard, seeking new adventures, friends and perhaps brotherhood?
All eNorwegians players are considered eligible to vote in this open referandum, but I will also accept the votes of RL norwegians living abroad. If you are a RL norwegian voting, please state your home town with the vote.
This referendum ends on the 8th of February, 12o’Clock eRep-time (9PM CET+1).
Last words
Remember to use your right to vote here, this might affect eNorway future greatly!
I would also like to wish the best of luck to our CP-candidates; Akashaton, Ledy Nena and Vileskont, in tomorrows election!

Leave to Asgard. Scandinavian power!
Leave, a change to forever alter our future! (Obama-rama-drama, hehe)
😎 Leave- better to go alone than to stay in bad company. I place my trust in our Scandinavian friends!
As an honorary Norwegian (by decree of Ursidae Polar) xD, I vote to leave EDEN and join Asgard. 'Cause Asgard rocks, EDEN - not so much!
EDEN IS DEAD
Hail Norway!
LEAVE
If I voted would it count? I was previously eNorwegian, and my application to come back was accepted... as soon as a region is regained...
Johnnie Rebel yes you can vote : )
Thank You, I vote leave
I chose once, allies are forever.
I speak as Edenist, proCroat but Pole in RL.
Some of You made me always proNorwegian.
No matter what will future bring - I'm always for allies who never fear in weakness time.
It is interesting to see now the others suggest leaving EDEN and move to Asgard. I said it many, many months ago...
leave
Leave to Asgard
😎 Leave...and join Asgard
Leave and join Asgard
It is with a heavy heart I admit that whatever we seek with EDEN is now fading away. We stuck with EDEN through thick and thin for years now. We've seen her on her highs and lows several times over. There is no shame in seeking a new ground for fun and brotherhood. We have all shared these feelings towards our Scandinavian brothers for months now (maybe even years). The only reason we have stuck with EDEN so long is our allegiance and loyalty to EDEN and her allies. Norway have never provided massive military power, but I suspect we have provided spirit and endurance. Nobody can say EDEN did not stick up for us - they did several times. Yet, EDEN has over time lost it's strong relation to many of our closest allies (nations). These are allies who I hope we can work even closer together with from Asgard.
In the end, this is a game, and we tend to play it with the ones who provides the most fun and spirit. It just doesn't boil down to damage power, but also friendship and "brotherhood".
I will say Hail EDEN because this is the alliance that prevailed the longest.
Hail Asgard for growing in our backyard and showing us her beauty.
Hail Norway for being the awesome eNation it is.
Good job, Kristoph Woldskji - I say it again; you did an awesome job as CP!
JOIN TO ASGARD \o
leave
Very well said Tommy!
Leave EDEN to join Asgard seems to be the best choice.
(I'm RL Norwegian living in Oslo)
Leave, and hope more of our good allies will follow us to Asgard!
Looks like it may be time for a change.
Leave EDEN for Asgard, lets fight with our viking brothers!
Leave EDEN for Asgard!
Hail Scandinavia!
I say leave, as I have no faith in EDEN returning to its former strenght. I like Asgard and a northern brotherhood will be good for us I think. And they can help us throw out the Brits!
LEAVE
I say leave and join Asgard 😃 our brothers 😃❤
Leave
Why does RL Norwegians with not Norwegian cs get to vote ? This is a matter of eNorway, not RL Norway. This is a game, you don't have to be RL Norwegian to play as an eNorwegian. I would say its kinda rude to vote if you are living the good life in another country, fighting for another country and so on....
Voting blank.
Leave
Wrong timing to leave EDEN. We should stay and help as good as we can trough the hard times ahead. We
Complain about lack of brotherhood in EDEN. If we leave now the lack of brotherhood showed by us is worse.
Leave (Fredrikstad er byn vettu)
Leave (Molde/Surnadal. Hvorfor RL norske får stemme, ønsker jeg ikke ta stilling til)
I can not quite decide what to vote for "to remain in EDEN" or "leave EDEN and join Asgard" so I have now decided that the best and safest maybe for eNorway is to stay in EDEN.
but I want some change so I will vote to leave EDEN and join Asgard
"I have now decided that the best and safest maybe for eNorway is to stay in EDEN.

Norway, Sweden, and Finland have all wanted to recreate the Kalmar Union of old for as long as this game has been going on.
This may be the best chance we've had to recreate such a thing.
EDEN is the oldest alliance on record though, I remember being in EDEN years ago on my lost account, back when PHOENIX was still around.
Join Asgard
LEAVE
I thought Ásgárd wasn't accepting any new members, though?
leave Eden and join Asgard
