And it shall forever, as I was literally founded in the middle of one of your coups. My apologies, I cannot trust you completely.Let me ask you a different question then: Why do you dislike coups? What is it about coups that makes them negative for you?
I think I can change your mind about my idea.
Is it not obvious? First of all, I am a citizen of Lazarus, and I swear loyalty to its legitimate regime. Coup d'etats overthrow the current and legitimate regime, sometimes for petty and/or vain reasons, and causes unimaginable suffering and infighting within a community. Not to mention the purges that will happen, as well as the usual suppression of civil liberties. I refuse to allow the governments I am loyal to and the regions I belong to be subject to destruction by some plotters whom, let's face it, often just want power. I refuse that, and I will never accept that. For it is the discontinuation of an otherwise legitimate system of government that exists. Reform? No, do it inside the system, don't gulag the region. Coups are only destructive, and in the case of Lazarus and others, have caused civil wars and insurgencies. The vast majority of coups just purges one side, and leaves the other as a loyal rump state so the plotters can enjoy absolute victory and supreme command. No. I refuse to allow yet another coup to even be conspired in Lazarus or any other regions I currently reside in. I will not allow them all to crumble and fall. So, if you insist on talking on that and explicity refraining from not engaging in any coups, I am terribly sorry, but that makes me lose confidence with you for this position.
