Hi dear foreign-language speaker in the United Netherlands.
Today might well be the last day we are called UNL, currently we are in the process of ´hollandification´. the official language is now back to Dutch, so government newspapers articles are also back in Dutch. This of course because the Belgian-Dutch union ended almost a year ago. We kept the name United Netherlands for a while, but now because the the population is at an all time low we will try to get a babyboom, we don´t want to scare our new players with loads of English articles.
In the meanwhile you will notice most people still talk mainly English on the forum, and everybody is quite helpful on the chat, and talk both English and Dutch there.
So sorry if you have a harder time reading the news.
Fortunately there are some tools out there that can help you with that.
erepublik advanced, can translate those pesky dutch articles.
How to get it?
1. Install Firefox (or google chrome)
2. Install Greasemonkey (you can skip this if you use chome)
3. Once Greasemonkey is installed, go to eRepublik advanced download page and click the green Install button. Make sure Greasemonkey is enabled when you do this!
1. If everything went as expected, you should now have eRepublik advance script running on eRepublik when the Greasemonkey is enabled on your browser.
4. Log in to eRepublik and enjoy your additional features!
5. click the weird ´playing card´ like button to translate a article

WTF?
I am out of here. This country will fail. What a dumb move to make the main language Dutch.
Dutch as main language means you only have 18 million people to get new citizens from.
English as main language means about half the world or more to get new citizens from.
How can you not understand the simple logic behind this? Plus ever Dutch citizen has a basic knowledge of English(We all learn it around the age of 9/10), so the argument that you might be scaring away Dutch people by having English articles is pretty much bogus.
"In the meanwhile you will notice most people still talk mainly English on the forum, and everybody is quite helpful on the chat, and talk both English and Dutch there."
And the four or five players pushing Dutch through still don't get it?
Oh, to those favoring Dutch: read Origineel.NL's comment... again... : P
oh lighten up guys, there are just some more dutch newsarticles
I find this extremely humorous, you are right that UNL is dead and its successor state is not faring much better.
"we don´t want to scare our new players with loads of English articles."
The trend is that people are leaving eNL. With an less than active government and this language issue, people are leaving this nation. From RL Dutch like Bok and Frerk, to many many non RL Dutch like A-Matteo, Matthew Langley (the ones you called eJaps) and many others. At this rate eNL is heading to be an eFailed state or it will be PTOed. If more than 1/2 of congress were elected with 1 vote, it shows that your situation is more than dire and drastic reform is needed. You can blame V2 etc, but you are speeding up the rot as well.
I'm alive at enetherlands.nl, working for R&C, PTOing a party in UK... oh shit
