Forward thinking for eNL [Part 1/2]

Day 1,795, 16:34 Published in Netherlands United Kingdom by Bernard Hoffington

Having recently returned to the eNetherlands, the country which I've spent the majority of my time in, i feel like straight away i understand what this country needs to strive.


This article is going to sum up a few of the major points which i believe we should focus on to make our country great.


If there's one thing the eNetherlands should be remembered for, let it be it's mass amount of experienced players. The eNL has provided the world with some of the most forward thinking players in the game and what's best is a large amount of them still play. I'm talking about people like Artemivanov, Luuklag, Garmr, Daniel Parker, Antiko and many, many more.

These are the people that provide experience and political strength to a country, not to mention the countless months of government work under their belt. They create national trust as well as fund and provide the country with their products/resources.

Where are they now you ask? In foreign countries most likely. Some in eCanada, some in eUSA.

We need to bring these players back to the eNetherlands, they may be getting better resources where they are but it's home where we truly need them. Only then with these respected and experienced players will our neighboring nations truly respect us and take us seriously.


During my time in the eUK i witnessed a very criticized military reform which saw the single national MU split into multiple MUs which would house citizens depending on their division and level. This, in my opinion, was a failure.

Returning to the eNetherlands I'd noticed that we too have taken the idea to divide our military into a number of military units. We need to be united!

As a small country our single division military units will hardly make a scratch in the grand scheme of things. If we want to be noticed by alliance members i believe we must revert to a single national army where all our citizens will be hitting in a single fight, gaining more national recognition.


Considering we are such a small country, i believe masses of effort need to be put into creating friends with other nations. Not just for alliances or MPPs but to attract more people to our nation.

When a country is as small as the eNetherlands extra effort needs to be put into our Ministry of foreign affairs. We need 5+ deputy ministers pushing forward ideas and creating embassies in other countries to widen our horizons. If people don't know who we are there's very little chance anyone will be attracted to the idea of moving here and helping us.
