Signing the Peace Treaty

Day 623, 17:52 Published in USA USA by NoneSuch
SIGN THE TREATY - Vote if you agree... or not

Editor's Note: I'm only pro-signing if HR gets his 2nd term in office. If someone new gets elected, maybe someone.... nicer... who knows what could happen? That's a completely serious comment. It's obvious that HR diplomacy hasn't been working, maybe Hoss or Emerick diplomacy would actually..... exist?

- Why? -

- To put it shortly, Because we're going to lose everything if we don't! At PEACE's current terms, we have to pay 250 Gold per region and let them keep California and Hawaii, correct? With every region the price to recover becomes higher, not only because it's another 250 Gold, but because that's another piece of our economy missing. Want to know another reason why it's only going to become more expensive? Because PEACE gets more leverage, thus, higher demands. PEACE isn't going to stop, plain and simple... And when we're forced to sign this treaty (it's going to happen) just imagine how hard it's going to be coming up with 12,000 Gold (the cost of all our lost regions) with a single region.

- What About Our Allies? -

- The reason why your leaders won't sign the treaty is because it would "screw over our allies." By signing this treaty we agree not to fight PEACE in any wars against PEACE. We must declare peace with all PEACE nations and sign a non-aggression pact with all PEACE countries. We must also remove all military and PTO personnel from every PEACE controlled region. This does not mean that we have to remove military personnel from our allies' countries. We can still help them fight their wars! Look, we can either keep "helping" them now with our broken country until we're down to 1 region, or we can make as fast a comeback as we can and actually make a difference. We're broke as it is, we're not doing anything other than prolonging the inevitable at this point.

- I saw someone comment in IRC on this by saying, "I don't want to fund PEACE's war against Spain". Uhm, not going to happen. According to the contract there is no timeline for payment! This means we pay them when we want to, when it's convenient for us, when we rebuild our economy/military/country.

- California and Hawaii -

- To be honest, I'm glad they're keeping those regions. We deserve it. We need to use them as a reminder to stop being pompous jerks when it comes to foreign relations. Those 2 regions will not be lost in vain! If anything they will motivate the eUS to come together and fight back one day! But for now, they're just going to have to be scars on our pride. But just imagine... in 2 weeks, when we have 1 region left... just imagine how many regions PEACE will want to keep then... Sign now or lose even more!!!

- Post-War (Without the treaty) -

- Let's see, everyone is going to leave the eUS, we'll have 1 region without any high raw material regions, be in tens of thousands of Gold in debt, and will be nothing more than a memorial to our own false sense of pride. For once America, please, just give up.
