Ladies and Gentlemen of the eNetherlands,
First, welcome back! The latest turn of events was a little suprising, even for someone who has been around as long as I have. Heck, we even seem to have lost much of the old political establishment.
Second, today I launch a new party: The Imperial Dutch Party. In the coming days I will explain our goals, and what we stand for. But for now, trust me when I say that this new party I have formed will be a little different than what some of you may have experienced in the past. We will be a more nationalistic party, and we will put more work than ever into re-expanding Dutch Power onto the world stage!
So for now, come in and take a look. And if you don't agree with our views, then at least know I will happily stand with anyone who looks out for the best in what concerns eNetherlands. But if you do agree, come with me, and together we will make ourselves back into the mighty eNetherlands the eworld once knew, and shall know again.

VOC all the Way. Maybe the VOC party would fit better than Imperial.
Long live the eNetherlands and long live the IDP!
Good luck!
Good luck, Sarah.
Goodluck with your new party!
Goodluck,
First question, do you know where we stand right now with our Dutch Power in the world stage?
The VOC can only give full support for this great idea!
good luck
Zeer benieuwd naar het programma.
Wellicht ligt het in de lijn van de VOC, dan kunt u de volle steun verwachten.
VOC all over the world!

Thank you for the warm reception everyone!
I will address you again when I fully assess our "Dutch Power". But from what I have already seen, we are in good shape, and our recovery from the invasion will be quick.
Hurrah to my country's people!
I think you fail to grasp the fundamentals of your domestic and foreign capabilities.
"We will be a more nationalistic party, and we will put more work than ever into re-expanding Dutch Power onto the world stage!"
This is a really strange statement you made. What is "Dutch Power?" Is this a policy or concept of race concept shouting like white power or something of the radical right or that of power of the Dutch (which is greatly lacking on the international stage) and that it is a rallying cry. Regardless, if you understand the global situation and geopolitics, an idea of imperialism is extremely stupid. Lets say you take Belgium, is that it? Your location is far from ideal to have empires.
Empire building require strength. eNL lacks it greatly. Without might, you cannot be imperialistic. Therefore you must need an alliance to support which would be strange on a party that focus on "Dutch Power" Regardless of that, alliances will not go into war willy nilly and to have their support, there must be an interest for them to do so. All of NL's neighbors have no good resources and even EDEN can go around NL to key regions of interest. Your location suggest that an Imperial power is far from ideal.
Due to this fact, people overall would not look at NL in the same light as that of Serbia or Poland. While this is not your fault and that they are better peoples etc, but you are setting yourself up for the highly improbable or impossible. This is just my opinion and you can disagree, but I think you really should change your party name as well as purpose. It can still be nationalistic in nature but is imperialism the best course of action to take for a small and weak nation?
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN,
LONG LIVE THE DUTCH EMPIRE!!!!
This Article deserves an Official seal of Fail.
It is sure that it will be with 500 citizens that eNL will crush ePoland, eSpain, ...
I want to see the eNL empire
Very smart to put a label on someone or on a party. They gain members, so you have to deal with it, and respect their opinions, how strange they might sound to the people behind the "un-"official seal of fail, haha
