[quote=The Nexerus] I fully agree that it is a blatant land grab, to further the goal unifying the country. It cannot, on the Netherlands' part, be justified on a legal basis. Legality isn't the reason that the reunification occurred, though. If no country ever declared war illegally, the Netherlands never would've existed. [/quote] I completely understand why you did it from an In-character perspective. If Netherlands wants to form a Greater Netherlands, it's going to do it by any means necessary. I get that, and I'm totally cool with it. But honestly, you need to just come clean in OOC :P There is no point trying to argue that you should get to keep Belgium even if you lose the war, or whatever, because I think even you know you probably shouldn't. As you said, the legality just isn't there. The only way you are going to keep Belgium, is through war. Because, as you know, it's the victors who decide what is right and what is wrong. But between us, you should just admit Netherlands has no right to Belgium.
