Theme: Resistance
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself"
- Declaration of Arbroath
"…we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

I understand your sentiments but certain elements of our community screwed it for us all.
Also this is not a fair gaming platform(emphasis on gaming) . If ppl can use credit for kills/damage then it comes
down to how deep is your wallet?
V + c
It is not really a capitulation (which is what we had under the unpopular dictatorship)
We can ELECT our own CP and our own congress and we have training wars
We will have 2 regions now and more in the future.
In the long run not so different from what we had before some idiotic hotheads breached the treaty we had and trashed our reputation.
Realistically compared to code we don't have the military strength .. but hopefully we can build back our international reputation
This is all better than being wiped and having no congress. Sometimes you have to be pragmatic!
