The NPO has hurt our region a great deal, causing perhaps irreparable damage to the community here. The demands-though bold-were not bold enough and I am sure that in time the NPO, whose new leaders are already showing that jingoism was not unique to Perg, Feux and those others, will find new ways to circumvent them and abuse our trust.
I believe firmly that the conditions in Lazarus are right to strike the balance of a neutral military. We have discussed the laws required to regulate armed forces with some success and I am confident that our diverse citizenry would defend such legislation in the future. Open warfare may not lead to a quick victory-there will be no quick victory-but it will ensure that wherever the NPO tries its hand at expansion next, we will be there to fight them. If our region is going to endure, it must not be a passive player. We must stand up for ourselves and for others.
Lazarus rises!
