Calm down everyone. The day may yet be saved. I can still come up with a way to peserve eThailand's indepedence, however eThailand will not be an indepedent country.
It all depends on WHO takes over eThailand.
If it is eIndonesia, we could then contact the leadership of eIndonesia, appointing somebody as ambassador (I volunteer, as long as I don't have to log back into eRepublik to do the negogations). In return for accepting eIndonesia's federal rule and protection, eIndonesia will call us an indepedent 'republic', under the "Union of Indonesian Republics" and will give us a precentage of the tax reveune to the "eThailand Republic" SO. eThailand will have their own seperate national elections, and will use that money to aid eThais (sorta like "social security"). Truem, eIndonesia might not accept this, but it would seem like a peaceful solution.
If it is ePakistan, all we have to do is convert to Dioism, and then plea to Dio to let us have self-rule (and a precentage of tax revenue). The act of swearing alligence to the God Emperor may be too much for us to handle (and the God Emperor may, in his infinite wisdom, refuse to part with his cash), so yeah, we're doomed. The good news is that I don't think TNT would do something like this (altough I have been wrong before).
It's not as romantic as being fully indepedent rather than just being an autonomous republic, but it's the only way I can see eThailand stay alive.
