Official Presidential Statement: USA Joins EDEN
Battle Kitten
As many of you have already heard, the eUSA is now a part of the EDEN alliance. A little less than a week ago Gaius Julius as head of the JCS and myself were approached by EDEN with a proposal asking us to join. They voted on our membership and we were approved unanimously. After they had voted on this, I then presented the matter to congress for a vote. This matter was not an easy choice for Gaius, your congress, or myself. There are many benefits and at the same time drawbacks to joining any alliance. There was a lively debate in regards to joining EDEN and by the time the vote was finished 40 congressman had voted in favor of joining, 4 voted no, and 6 abstained. Over eighty percent of the congress voted in favor of joining the EDEN alliance.
I am quite pleased that we have joined the EDEN alliance. There are a variety of reasons that I am happy to join our friends in EDEN and I will detail them here.
1. Loyalty: We have never wavered in our support of our allies and they in turn have never wavered in their support of us. Even when the United States was in its darkest days they stood with us and in turn when they were under seige we stood with them no matter the cost. Only through working together can we confront and defeat the enemies we face.
2. Protection: As powerful as the USA is, we cannot take on the whole world by ourselves. Every country needs allies to help in the defense of its borders and in turn to defend them from outside aggression. By fully aligning ourselves with EDEN we always have them guarding our back and we in turn shall do the same for them.
3. Common Purpose: It is no secret at this point who are adversaries in this game are. Both the eUSA and EDEN are committed in confronting these countries and eliminating them as threats both to ourselves and to the rest of the world.
4. Join Military Planning: By becoming full members in EDEN we can plan and coordinate our military actions in a more effective manner and share a common objective when we meet our enemies in battle.
5. Economic Support: All EDEN Countries contribute to a joint fund. This joint fund ensures the security of each member. When one country is hit hard by an attack, they use it for military actions to defend it.
6. Voice: By joining EDEN we will have a voice on their council and be able to guide policy. Without joining we would be a passive ally at best. If you intend to be an ally you need to commit yourself fully to the cause and I feel that the eUSA and EDEN have done that.
I am extremely pleased to announce to the American people that we are now an official member of EDEN. We have learned from the past mistakes of ATLANTIS and have a clear defined purpose. We intend to confront our enemies whenever and however possible. We will continue to protect the security of any nation within the alliance and give our maximum effort to ensure that we are the best possible ally we can be. Only together can we continue to exist and confront the threats we face in the future.

time will tell whether we've learned from the past so as to not be doomed to repeat the failings of Atlantis in the future.
"do the same thing, but do it differently" is a strategy of dreamers.
~hyuu~
No.
Adoya?
"Atlantis 2.0 anyone?"
No?
United Faildom is gone ^.^
Anyway,welcome USA o/
facepalm.
I really hope this doesn't turn out the way ATLANTIS did.
You say "we have learned from the past mistakes of ATLANTIS"...
I would've hoped the biggest lesson we would have learned was not to join super-alliances like ATLANTIS. We could have had the same benefits by sticking with the Brolliance, two countries with common values, and maintaining MPP's with most EDEN countries.
I am a loyal soldier, and will follow lawful orders of the CIC.
But, as a citizen, I think it's a mistake.
Bro was enough...
Voted.
Hail EDEN!
BROs for life!
Go eUSA!
this is great
BOATED.
Wise words Josh.
Welcome brothers!
Thanks for having us EDEN! Let's build a better world together!
I hope EDEN did learn from ATLANTIS. My main fear of joining was that EDEN would become imperealistic and domineer over small countries, much liek PEACE and ATLANTIS, and we would be unable to do anything about it. Well, we can hope.
Your EDEN buddies will not stop the inevitable defeat of your nation by the dreaded UK. Have you seen the things we put in pies? Clearly we fear nothing!
I agree with this decision 🙂
I want to see the stars and stripes on a leaf on the EDEN tree.
So it begins...
"I would've hoped the biggest lesson we would have learned was not to join super-alliances like ATLANTIS. We could have had the same benefits by sticking with the Brolliance, two countries with common values, and maintaining MPP's with most EDEN countries."
Vote that. Not the same benefits, but I still think staying out woulda been worthwhile. All the same, our EDEN allies are wonderful beyond words. I hope this works out very well.
Booyah, everyone was waiting for this day.
Its my pleasure(and only mine) to say
HAIL EDEN
HAIL BROLLIANCE
HAIL USA!
This will be a failure. We shall fall apart and burn.
Woot!
Go Go EDEN \o/
WOOO EDEN!!
I hope this all goes according to plan, and doesn't push us in a direction that we don't intend. The Brolliance was working well, with plenty of allies. Im a newish player, so I haven't seen all the hardship in the US that a lot of other players have seen, but I have seen PEACE fall apart. I just hope joining EDEN doesnt mean it will grow too large and fall apart from the inside as well.
...here we go again
NOOOO! Stay Brolliance!
Honestly, I considered all the EDEN Nations allies of America from the get go. To be honest we were for the most part De Facto members of EDEN, dunno if that is the right choice of words for it. I need to stop writing things late at night. Never do my finest work and make myself look and sound like an idiot. Anyways it is nice to consider myself a Soldier of EDEN.
I'm not worried. While most alliances fail it is because they were rushed. I believe that this alliance will last long though eventually it will fail. After all not everyone might enjoy this alliance and one day we might elect him/her without knowing it. it will take time though.
Oh, boy. Here it comes.... .
wellcome eUSA, we must destroy eUK
HAIL eUSA
