How intriguing, Vulturret. Please, instead of launching such bold insults with such sharp and over-the-top language, peruse Lazarene history instead.
This is what Lazarus needs: a restricted military. How many times have R/D politics torn us apart before the region learns its lesson? This fear is perfectly legitimate, more so if you observe our past. R/D politics lead to the poisoning of a society such as Lazarus. If we ever adopt a more standard military, I fear for our future. For we shall lean one way or the other, and given that raiders, defenders and everyone in between inhabit this land, we should not shoot ourselves in the head again.
This "Independence" manifesto proposal of yours is also absurd. Lazarus must not be aligned with any ideology whatsoever: our history has shown the devastation it can cause. Moreover, we may, in a worst-case scenario, end up restricted in foreign policy to a set of regions like Balder (which I am not particularly fond of). When we have capital "I" Independence and miniscule "i" independence as two separate terms in NSGP terminology, do we want Independence, or independence?
Unless you lived under a rock during the ConCon, there was near-universal support, if not unanimous approval for bills like these: a restricted military which shall never be a threat to us ever again. This is not the personal ideals of Cormac, but of the majority of Lazarus.
