"We erge them not to accept Ladogan's offer, as they would be joining a new unorganized, war-mongerer nation, and potentially unstable nation." > You're right, we are new. > No, we're not unorganized. We're stable and prosperous. Our country is quickly growing, and of course, Russia left some pretty big shoes to fill, so we're here to make sure that those shoes do not fall under the wrong feet. > The term "war-mongerer" is not justified or relevant in any way, shape, or form. The Ladogan Confederation rebelled against the Russian autocracy in favour of freedom and democracy, two ideals boasted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. An organisation the future "Baltic Confederation" will most definitely be a part of. > The phrase "potentially unstable" just indicates that the Germans have run out of insults to hurl at the newly formed democratic equivalent to Russia. It is clear that Germany is in opposition to the western ideals that NATO was formed on, and that Ladogan is formed on.

"I mean look they already have taken over a nation in less then almost a month, do you want your peoples blood spilled in many wars that you wouldn't have any influence if it was started or not?" > What "nation" have we taken over? We gained independence from Russia. We haven't taken over it. It seems the German government has turned out to be incompetent, quite a turn-around from their usual attitude. Perhaps it is clear that the current government of Germany is inadequate. > The collapse of Russia did not take less than a month, it took almost four months. The reason for the collapse is unknown, although the aptitude of German clandestine operatives has always been commendable. Assumptions may be made. > Again, the ineptitude of the German government has come to light, as they quite clearly have no concept of "democratic principles", despite leading a nation built on those very same principles. The way democracy works is that everyone has a say. The kind, trustworthy people of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Kalingrad will elect representatives of their choice. These representatives will elect a leader, and the leader will establish their position for or against any particular matter. For usual events, more than 55% must agree, while in very important matters, i.e. matters of the constitution or of national security, a 75% vote is needed from the representatives and leaders of each individual state. Unless these terms are satisfied, nothing happens. I implore to the German government to revise their ill-shapen political ideals.

"Plus three of you are already in NATO still, you have enough protection as it is and all the German exports you could want." > The current situation is dire. Nations like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are being forced to comply to strict NATO regulations and forcing them to maintain a military budget that they cannot afford. And there is no Russia to be protected from anymore. So why do these regulations still exist? Why do wealthy NATO members still look down upon the less well-off nations in NATO for having a below-average defence budget? It seems like this "protection" of yours only costs them too much and you too little. > Sure, German exports are fantastic. But when Germany starts to be aggressive with nations for no good reason, terrorizes smaller nations, and takes their money for the sake of some "protection" they don't need, what will be the international response? Also note that Europe is currently in a fast decline. The real investment opportunities are in Asia and Africa, which are not failing continents like Europe. For example, Germany claims to be the peacemaker, and yet cannot stop war from breaking out all over the Scandinavian peninsula, while simultaneously defending their own personal claims under the guise of "protection" once again. Their economy has been weakened by the Carbon Winter, while India, China, and Nigeria only grow bigger, stronger, and richer. They have cheap labour, while Germany does not. Instead, Germany suffers from unemployment, as German families fail to replenish the population, and immigrants take all the low-paying jobs available. This trend is being repeated all over Europe, and in a divided continent, it is not possible to survive such a mess. Germany cannot solve their problems on their own, and yet they strive to do so anyway. So Ladogan implores the Baltic nations; don't repeat Germany's actions, and don't isolate yourselves as they have done. They have only led to their downfall, while the Baltic nations have much potential, especially under a unification. All Germany sees is a third chance to unify a broken continent under their broken regime. As you can see above, even the information they obtain isn't accurate. So don't stand with Germany. Stand with your brethren in Saint Petersburg, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, and Kalingrad. Repel the German atrocity. And work for a better world for all.
