A Public Statement Regarding Sweden
graduallynevele
So some of you noticed my recent application for Swedish citizenship, upon the invasion of our regions. I wanted to clear some notions up, formally:
I am not a Swedish sympathizer.
The idea was to gain citizenship to abuse their resources, maybe troll the media, mess up voting where I could, and just become a general pain in the arse from the inside.
I never intended to turn against Norway, EDEN, or Terra. I am first and foremost a Norwegian, and secondly an American; both sides of me would tear at the notion of joining Sweden's "union" willingly and complying to the orders of ONE.
I'm not a unionist, nor am I willing to become one.

I had a long chat with Scorpicus about it and now understand (although not entirely in my personal viewings, yet) it's not acceptable.
I don't hate Sweden, like a lot of you seem to be moving to do. I remember what they once were to us, and I still hold to a lot of those ideas. Yes, I realize times have changed, they switched alliances and we have not; but that doesn't mean I'm going to become extremely hostile toward them. I'm not that polar.
I see Sweden as another nation in ONE - in fact, the best nation in ONE - and it doesn't really make a difference if I abuse their resources over Poland or Serbia's, which I've seen some Norwegians doing.
It's a game. I'm still playing.

As those of you who talked to me on IRC know, it's just a big misunderstanding, and I accept my mistake. I've found out we can no longer cancel applications, so I have to wait for it to expire, which is why it's still active.
I do, however, hope this clears some jazz up.
I have accepted the position as Ms. Carmen's MoFA. As I have done in the past in this position, I hope to serve you well as a true Norwegian citizen and EDENite soldier to represent our ideals and strength.
Alt for Norge.

Thanks for not holding grudges against us, I'm sure that we'll return to being on good terms with each other again in the future. (:
I was actually quite close to granting you citizenship. Good thing for both our sakes that I didn't, eh? 😁
Hah, yeah, good thing. 😛 Thanks for not!
I hope we do, but I'm not going to be super optimistic. We'll just see where relations go, and the invasion right now certainly isn't helping.
