Facing the Danger
Borojevic von Bonjar
Dear eAustrians,
In the beginning of my presidency, I wanted to lead eAustria through a peaceful term, concentrating on inner affairs. I thought that our neutrality was commonly accepted and respected. I was wrong. In the last days and months the sabre-rattling became louder and louder and finally clinked till the government building in Graz, Styria.
In several meetings I tried to find a peaceful solution with the eCroatian government, but demands kept coming to an extent that is incompatible with eAustrias national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Their greed lead them to declare war on our peaceful country.
But how could it come so far? In the beginning of my term I regarded eCroatia a friendly country and I thought this would be reciprocal. But some days ago I was addressed by an representative of the eCroatian government. In some conversations he told me that a war was inevitable, because eCroatia “needs” a land bridge to gain some high-resources regions, but the eCroatian government would make us an “offer”. I admit that I was tempted at first, the benefits for eAustria seemed to outweigh the downsides: an additional Q5-hospital, closing that war with eHungary and a good friend and ally at our doorsteps.
However, shortly after that conversation I had a long and heated debate with Oraizan. She helped me to cool down, take a step back and to see the whole picture: Since Rangeleys’ first term, the eAustrian government and the eAustrian people have worked hard to free ourselves from the stranglehold of the big alliances. Thanks to this long and certainly difficult work, we are now a truly free, independent and sovereign nation. But every action that helps one alliance in the war against the other, every land swap would lead us once again in the “caring arm” of one super-alliance, destroying everything we’ve worked for.
But who are those eCroats? They call themselves friends of eAustria, they say they want an “peaceful relationship”. But would a true friend demand to give up everything we’ve worked for months? To throw away our ideals, our ideas? No, a true friend would respect every decision we make even if he doesn’t like it. Anyway, I still hope that this is not the will of the eCroatian people, but of their mislead government.
Although I’m not a particular friend of his politics, I want to quote Wilhelm II, former Emperor of Germany. The context might be different, but still his words are fitting:
"Since the foundation of the empire it has (...) been the perfervidly effort of Me and My ancestors to maintain the peace for the world and to encourage our powerful growth in peacetime. But the enemies grudge the success of our work (...). Thus the sword has to decide. In the middle of peace the enemy invades us. Therefore onwards! to the weapons! Every unsteadiness, every hesitation would be treachery of the home country."
As long as we stand united, eAustria will prevail!
Signed, Borojevic von Bonjar
President of eAustria

"...I still hope that this is not the will of the eCroatian people..."
You're wrong... They're really excited about this war - there's finally some action for them.
Somebody even said in their newspapers that this will be revenge for the period of Austro-Hungarian empire domination over their territories.

slovenians will use you for a cheaper war
Tanchinni = telltale
You had a really good offer in your hands, for a country run mostly by foreigners.
Sorry, but 200 of you are not going to block the map for the rest of the eWorld.
@ Igor Ivkovic

So, am I a telltale?
dr_revenue igor ivkovic berinni and other comments x2
I just need to add that you have no choice, you could have accepted the terms and only prevail your best interest of your country by making us a bridge and gain for Austria, but now you can either be erased with your big heart as a neutral unimportant state OR you can sign a bunch of MPP-s with our enemies and get in the middle of the fight you wanted to avoid so badly...either way you failed :/ and yes, we Croats still respect you as good people and friends no matter the decision you made 😉
neutral countries wouldn't do this

this is what you did wrong dear eAustria president
vote and sub
Death before submission!
BloodBlade, I read your article and if I may point a few things out.
Austria for some reason decided to reject your land bridge offer. They did nothing wrong by doing this, except the thing is, now Croatia is not getting what they want. Why did they reject it? While I'm not exactly sure of the reasons, Croatia's response of war is childish, like a baby who simply just has to have their way.
In your article, you claim Austria has a "false" neutrality. I don't even know where you get this from or why you think that ties in with needing to impeach the president, but really? Are you that daft?
Shame on the imperialistic Croatians. As a Slovakian Congressman, I'm not going to take this stupidity and I'm going to vote YES for the MPP with Austria. In your face.

Why did Austria refuse to join Entente - defensive alliance for such countries like you last month?
But would a true friend demand to give up everything we’ve worked for "months?"
Who's we? You sound like you have a mouse in your pocket :3
Ok, let me try to get this into the right perspective. I'm young in this game and still trying to understand this whole situation so I'm goint to think out loud.
You speak with your friendly neighbour and decide to let him pass through like any good neighbour would. Then you talk with some person "Oraizan" and after that you don't want to help your neighbour anymore. Your neighbour, now known as evil imperialistic terrorists, dissapointed with you is passing without your aproval.
Is this correct?
Hmm... yes... now I see this is a terible, terible thing... actually, I'm laughing my ass off xD I mean wtf?! xD
Let me quote you: "But would a true friend demand to give up everything we’ve worked for months? To throw away our ideals, our ideas?"
~ My friend, it seems you did it to yourself. You are not as neutral as you call yourselves to be. Shame... I thought more of eAustria...
ich lese osterreichen media und ich habe ein frage...
