[INTL] A Commentary on the Sol Alliance
A Lot of Talk ... And Little Action
Over the past two weeks, we have seen a power struggle at the top of the Sol Alliance. This struggle has mainly been between Albert Neurath (the alliance chairman) and Hekter (President of the Phillipines). Without getting into the details of the argument, I think it is important for all of us living in this little corner of the world for us to think about what Sol really is.
A Brotherhood of Peaceful Nations - No More. No Less
The countries in our part of the world are fairly peaceful. We respect each other's autonomy and borders. We want to live in harmony. Aside from Indonesia, no country in our side of the world has made any aggressive moves against another. There is something to be said about that. So. What is Sol's purpose? To protect against those who wish to interfere with our affairs? Doubtful. Sol has yet to show any strength in regards to defending any of its members, nor has it any intention to. During Indonesia's invasion of Malaysia, it wasn't Sol's resolve that helped regain Malaysia its original wargames but rather the MPP's Malaysia had gathered from its wargames. We must realize that the only way for our region to develop is to develop our nations from the inside out. Having external arguments about foreign policy issues will not help us in this regard.
Lets Be Honest With Ourselves
We know that Sol wasn't built to be a military alliance, even defensively it hasn't been effective. I say this to you, Albert and Hektor, bury the hatchet. Recognize Sol for what it is. A brotherhood of peaceful nations. Instead of putting all this effort into arguing over who has control of what, we need to be growing the strength of our countries. Where does Sol fit in in that regard? Wargames. Thats it. Lets just keep our wargames up, maintain friendly lines of communication with each other, and focus on growing our populations and social networks in game.
So thats my two cents. Thank you for reading.

vote..
please calm down hektor and albert.
you will ruin Sol if you continue your argument.
We need to stay calm because Sol objective is to help their members to keep maintain their regions.
Although malaysia managed to secure their regions,it not mean that only malaysia MPP's that help malaysia.
there are also some MPP's that is Sol members.
It show that Sol members also help with each another.
Maybe we didn't realise what Sol have done.
Please stop the argument!!
It just waste the time,leader!!!
Keep Sol as our great alliance!!!
Long live Sol!!
Long live Malaysia!!
Long live SolDier!!
Sol's been ruined without that power struggle.
There are fundamental issues with the alliance itself, how it operates, its bureaucratic process, and its lack of defensive power that doomed this alliance since its beginning.
The only thing at this point is to somehow either reform the alliance to deal with this problem, or let it blow up to catastrophic proportions while new Asian groups scheme towards establishing a new Asian alliance.
@Jameson L. Tai
Do not be too aggresive on Sol.
Not being a defensive alliance do not mean Sol not existing.
In the future, we may develop some defensive power, but we are not going to be an exclusive alliance. That is to say, members of Sol have the right to alliance with any countires.
You can't spell Hekter. Your argument is invalid.
I can spell it, just incorrectly. Meh! Fixed anyways. Haha.
Agree with mariohexu.
All the alliances in EreP will face their own problem after this.
Nothing is perfect.
Sol objective is only to help their members to keep control their regions,not conquer other countries region.
We want to be defensive power,not military power.
Sol is neutral!!!
Hopefully Hekter and Albert Neurath could settle their problem quickly and peacefully to avoid any more damage to Sol.
