Chins up, damnit!

It is too bloody depressing having no land. I'm sure there are people working on it but I am not the world's most patient person. So here is JT's next crazy idea:
1) Choose eChile's least favourite part of eAustralia (anyone know what that might be?).
2) Organise 10,000 for a RW; doesn't have to be 10 guys-- I don't have a grand but can put in maybe a few hundred. If others in similar shape PM me, and guys that can support let me know, we can all be ready to support at a moment's notice.
3) Train our asses off and save our goodies. I'm saying build an arsenal, boyos!
4) Wait until eChile has a number of active wars. Perhaps our diplomats (I assume we have some) and all of us with friends in other countries can work for a coordinated effort. Also prepare our allies, who have been getting a bit of benefit from us lately. I think timing this so eChile is already depleted is the most crucial aspect.
5) Then go get some of our country back.
Probably best to keep this activity a little quiet; PM me if you're in... Let me know your ideas, who and/or what you've got, and how much time you think you need. Aussies Stand Up!

Firstly it's nice to see someone other than the MoD active. Secondly, you need an active CP because you have no senate...why? Well if Chile choose to ignore an NAP then you have to wait for Chile to reset the determination, then you have to make sure your CP is on to launch the NE proposal against them first as that is vital. This gives you the advantage for obvious reasons that i won't go into here. Australia needs an AirStrike because until the Alliance gets shaken up then you are stuck under Chile's thumb...but...while launching an AS isn't impossible it can be smoothly done as long as you free a region that doesn't border another enemy - Indonesia, and your CP is on the ball and active.
I managed to get an AS despite three countries opposing it. It can be done but it requires a lot of talks with allies and a destination already agreed in advance. It still surprises me not a single back up plan was put in place when Argentina was there because this situation was always on the cards and even people warned Argentina wasn't there for the long haul.
You guys have to make sure on the 5th you elect somebody active and on the ball and break the habit of inactivity that's the way of life in Aus.
Take a look again at CP elections articles...
How could be sure that our next CP will be active?
Well experience tells me that if they have been active before hand with cabinet then they will be active as CP. I usually judge good CP Candidates by how long they have been working behind the scenes...and i don't just mean in PM's. Articles are vital to keeping a small community going because if they see nothing happening they quit or leave, the CP needs to demand every department pull their weight so people feel involved. By that i don't just mean one article from a department in a month is good enough, if a minister is busy in RL they should get their deputy to publish and there is no such thing as too much information. Though obviously activity doesn't mean a good CP but eAus can't be picky at the minute.
Go look at a candidates past articles and the frequency of when they were published, that's a good indication of what you will get...and i haven't looked who is standing in Aus but whoever it is has a lot of work to do.
Voted! you've got a PM.
Chile will prioritize defending it... Will need some serious LETO ad Asteria backing...
Yeah I know, and we also have to think about keeping it for more than a day... We will need the help of friends for that too. So start lining up yer ducks and pm me if you're in!
I saw we start it exactly 48 Hours before congress elections. That way if we win, we still get a congress no matter how long we keep it. Just need to get a few party's to put up candidates in time after the war.
