Entente
The motion to join the Entente passed Congress in December when the alliance was being formed, 11 votes Yes, 2 votes No.
One of those Yes votes was the President of the time, Rangeley. Another of those Yes votes was our current President, Borojevic von Bonjar.
This is the last time I will ask, but seriously, this is ridiculous. How could there be any more of a consensus? It's all right to say that we support France, but allying with them is too controversial? The Entente is an independent defensive alliance. It's an alliance that can bring all of Austria together. Joining EDEN or Phoenix would be too divisive.
I understand that Austria is not a country where you can expect much to be done. Almost nothing was done under Alfred. He promised a new Constitution, which wasn't really needed, but didn't even deliver on that.
Join the Entente - or hold a new vote on it.

exFrance. ;_;
The only reason I would say that we should stay out is because if we join one alliance, there is at least one major country bordering us who will gladly take us out. But I'll keep this in mind and I'll go talk to those countries and see what they would think about us joining Entente.

JOIN EDEN!
Joining EDEN?
Yeah, joining one side when it seems obvious who's going to win, how brave.
I lol'd at alexsmarts.
voted. To join an alliance gives a lot of benefits but also risky. For a short time we should stay neutral..
No you tool bag people in eAustria don't want to be obligated by alliances.
If you would like to bring it up in Congress again, Stancel, feel free to do so. I'm pretty sure you'll not find as much support now as before.
I'm not in Congress. I might have been elected if there weren't a few idiots just running for the medal.
I think Austria deserves some responsibility in their leadership. As I said, "join the Entente OR hold a new vote on it".
I Dont think joining Entente is a good idea
well then, a new vote must be held, or the decision of the previous vote must be accepted.
Rangeley needs to clarify that he changed his vote. If the president doesn't accept then then what the congress think doesn't matter.
Entente = dependant on phoenix or w/e its called
The current constitution makes it clear that both congress, and the president must give approval to the joining of an alliance before it can happen. While congress voted yes by a majority (my congressional vote was included in this,) I decided not to pursue joining it just yet as President. Even though I was the one to introduce the vote initially, there were some doubts raised about their commitment to remaining separate from other alliances, and I wanted to give more time before we entered into such an arrangement. This isn't the sort of thing that should be rushed into - and in hindsight I think this was the right decision.
We don't need to be in the Entente to work with nations in the Entente, and we have done just this. By remaining separate, we have more freedom to exercise our own judgment - for instance, I believe we wouldn't have been able to deploy into South Africa due to the fact the war in France was still ongoing, due to the rules of the alliance. I would vote no if a vote to join the Entente was brought to congress again.
