Live Report from the Netherlands...

"Hello. This is Terry van Sneider and I am next to a local here in the Netherlands capital. Tell me, do you support your country being annexed by Elyk the Small"?

"Yes. I do. I have family, as well as more job opportunities over in his country. Once the borders open, I can have those two things".

"And You. Do you support the taking of the Netherlands"?

"Yes. I very much do. My son faught in the German Civil War of 2005, and I think he may be alive and living in Elyk the Small's country. I really would like to find him".

"Well, there you have it. Two stories of people trying and hoping to move on in there lives by just one decision. Out".

Because if everyone else expands along with saxe-coburg, everyone else will get more powerful along with Saxe-Coburg. If only Saxe-Coburg expands, only Saxe-Coburg will get powerful. Its not the most ethical of practices, but I think that it is valid. Anyway, I am trying to be like Bismarck in my policies. I worry about what is good for Saxe-Coburg before I worry about what is good for other nations. Saxse-Coburg is vying for dominance in Germany, so we are always on the lookout for a threat to our power.

OOC:
Ok, I get what's going on now. Didn't quite realize it before. Thanks.



IC:
His Royal Highness, Vladimir, Grand Duke of Kyiv and all Okraina, has issued the following statement:

"The states in the German region seem to be engaged in a futile effort for hegemony. Saxe-Coburg, Elyk the Small, and Camizu all seem eager to force themselves on smaller areas without others' permission. It is sad that they are not content with their own lands. We suggest that others be content with their own homes, and not seek to disrupt others."


OOC:
At the same time, while others are occupied in Germany, Vladimir has sent troops into the surrounding regions and is slowly, subtly incorporating them into Okraina, without making it official. See map as following:

Only 300, in a population of over a million? If Elyk has a referendum in the Netherlands, that can be monitored by Saxe-Coburg and a neutral nation, such as Catholic Europe or Sebtubal or Morracon then we will be willing to negotiate some sort of annexation.

Conference from Commander Bos hinder van Steenbergen III...

"We of Elyk the Small's dominion feel that more than enough people have supported the annexation of the Netherlands. It is very clear the concensus among all of the people. They want to be with there loved ones. Why can't you just accept this Prime Minister Sievers? Why do you always oppose country's annexation when it involves people being with there loved ones?"

You should probably start a new thread about this.

To Elyk the Small:
If they truly supported you, you would allow a referendum.

Excellent. Get in contact with a nation neutral in this issue, and ask if they will monitor the elections for fraud.

Dr. Camizu is willing to send election moniters to the Netherlands. Dr. Camizu is an expert on referendums (having once held one himself) and will make sure that there is no fraud. Moniters have already been sent to the disputed territories.

As Camizu has already stated its support for Elyk's expansion, it will not be considered a neutral nation.

Dr. Camizu withdraws his support for the annexation, and will instead send election moniters, since he is officialy now neutral. They have already been sent, so there is no turning back.

IC:
Morracon would be willing to monitor the referendum in the Netherlands. The government of Morracon has expressed concern about the annexation of ungoverned lands by nations of the former German Empire.

OOC:
Honestly, there has to be some limit to the expansion. There needs to be room for new nations to establish themselves. All the nations here are small and they do not need much room.

Elyk the Small thanks both Okrania's and Morroco's offer. He would like Okrainia to moniter the Netherlands. Also, this is as far as Elyk the Small wishes to expand. Any more expansion will be ferom war.

I don't think okraina offered. Camizu did, though.

OOC: the two areas claimed by Saxe-Coburg in Germany will be my only attempt to expand into unclaimed territory. I think that after each of the current disputes is over, we should not make any more incursions into unclaimed land. Wars between existing nations is a different story, however.

IC: Saxe-Coburg would be willing to accept Morracon's monitoring of the referendum. Saxe-Coburg will not, however, accept any monitoring from Camizu.

The government of Morracon would like to point out that Camizu may not be considered a neutral party by all nations.

Elyk the Small has decided to allow both Neutral nations to send moniters. He hopes the voting will go smoothly

What do you mean, Camizu and Morracon? Because Saxe-Coburg will not, under any circumstances, allow Camizu to monitor the elections!

Morracon has dispatched election monitors to make sure the Netherlands' referendum on rule by Elyk the small goes smoothly.

Saxe-Coburg may not recognize the Camizuan moniters, but I can't imagine that Saxe-Coburg will actively stop them from monitering!

I mean, they are already on their way, and plan on watching the voting, even if they are not recognized.

Besides, Camizu is the only truely neutral nation here, since it is in Africa and not Europe.
