C'mon Australia, EDEN is waiting for you [AUS]
Booleus
In the run for presidency(or PM whichever you prefer), Patti11 made a statement that there was no time for games with Indonesia stalling on talks for WA (http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/patti11-foreign-policies-manifesto-965703/1/20).
Please do realize that I am just a meddling foreigner, but as I stated in a previous article Indonesia has no intentions of giving it back diplomatically EVER, under any circumstances (I dont have to be part of the negotiations to know this).
Now, almost 2 weeks later, and almost half way through Patti11's term, my question is "What are you waiting for". Patti, of the options outlined in your foreign policy manifesto, the only one that seems that will actually happen would be joining EDEN, and taking WA back. Either that, or you could always wait, and wait, and wait, and wait (you get the idea).

First
I whole heartedly agree with the canuck. Lets get our country in the game.
Just look at WSR, Russia is a full time member of PEACE GC and they didn't got their region back. What, you really think that they are going to give it to you now?
PEACE GC only understand one thing Nowadays and it's military strenght. Some may argue that region have been given back, but the only one that ever get to be returned are region of no values for them. think about it.
And Eden is always open to extend it's network of partner. We don't have any colonies, especially not from our friends for that matter.
Too many rich resources for the Indo's to suck off of.
You'd have to pay them 700 gold.
Don't pay them any gold.
If EDEN were to fully support this move with military strength, it would be a perfectly sound decision. That is not so sure, however, hence the waiting.
Or so I think...
Well, here's one Canadian hoping to see a reunited Australia in the near future.
gee, I really hope my country gives back WSR and WA.
I mean, we don't really need them.
AND SO THAT EDEN PROPAGANDISTS CAN'T USE THAT TO UNDERMINE INDONESIA.
haha
Urgh. Just got back from Canada in RL, and you've an awesome country.
But - we stand to lose a lot to gain a territory that eIndo will ALWAYS want back if taken by force. And, unfortunately, EDEN is unlikely to be around or able to always step in and defend - meaning we would lose WA, then NT, then SA, then ... (you get the idea).
Not saying it's not a ideal dream for many - but I think pragmatism thankfully continues to prevail in our country - for now...
I would like a public update from our government on the current stage of these talks - I am concerned at the silence.
i agree with crowdedhouse!
The value of Westralian companies can be increased by transfering the region between multiple countries, as export licenses only cost 5 gold for the country you are in. So if Western Australia was to change hands, becoming eBrazilian, eArgentinian, eSAfrican and eAustralian in turn, the company owners would win. As WA has High Grain and Diamonds, while eArgentina and (homeland)eBrazil lack Diamonds, while all of eSAfrica (both current and natural) lacks Grain, this would benefit every enation involved.
@Ranger Bob: I understand your concern, but IMHO PEACE will be kept busy for a while in the near future
"Please do realize that I am just a meddling foreigner"
Done, and done.
Now that I've realised that, you can realise this...
"Sod Off and take your Fail with you"
hear hear si botak!
Long Live Cozza Akbar
See - I missed Whitelaughter...
Make WA the eInternational Tennis match - meaningful fighting, AND, entertainment for all involved...
Just make sure in the end we bribe the linesmen, so we can call a double-fault and win the final set... 😛
...and that, people, is why wanted Banger Rob in charge!
