I've been in this region for over three years now, ever since I refounded my nation. I've been involved into the government in some form or other for about two years, with the last year spent as a member of the CLS. Before that, I also served in the Regional Guard and took part in minor fighting, mostly in the Warzones. This latter activity was the only in which I was ever personally involved in the war against the NPO, as the events that led to it predate my residency in Lazarus.
While I think that the NPO always played a usable role as our "greater scope villain" during my time in Lazarus, I do also think that continuing this war is pointless. What are our war goals? Every player of strategy games is used to asking themselves this question, and I can find no answer to this anymore regarding our war with the NPO. We do not seem to take part in any inter-regional efforts to actually seriously fight the NPO (and, to my knowledge, such concerted efforts do not actually exist anymore), so all we have left is a "Cold War" in which nothing actually happens. The NPO seems to have set their sights to other targets, if at all. I have no special sympathies for the NPO whatsoever, but I don't see any benefit in continuing the war.
So ultimately, yes, I too am in favour of ending this war. It was right to start it back when we did, and it is right to end it now, given the completely different "political" landscape of 2021.
