Recently, there has been a lot of debate about expanding the Guard's operations. Currently the Guard is only allowed to raid Warzones and Fascists without official declarations of war. I think that, before we should talk about amends, we should agree on what we want the military to do, and, by extension, what we want our outward stance to be. This ties in with how we wish to approach the rest of NS. This could tie in with things such as our stance on the World Assembly, what stance we want to take against regions seeking diplomatic relations and what we want the military to be used for.
I think it comes down to "do we want to participate in gameplay?" If the answer is "no", then we have no need for a military, and hardly one for FA.
If the answer is "yes", then the next question is "in what way?" We have had more then a year to recover from the Khanate and improve our security. We have a high endorsement and influence delegate, with high influence Auditors. As long as we keep our security strong, we should be alright. That means we can look beyond our own region, so I want y'all's thoughts on the following:
1. What should be our stance towards the World Assembly, and should this be a major part of our stance?
2. What should we strive to accomplish, in the sense of expanding our influence beyond our borders (or not) or building strong alliances with everyone (or not) or protecting certain values in the wider world (or not)?
3. What should be our approach to foreign affairs? Do we wish to befriend as many people as we can, or only those we find ourselves to have things in common with? Should we perhaps befriend no one and be a force of our own?
4. What should be our approach to current ideologies and stances? Do we wish to take a similar stance, or will we be our own thing?
The question "what should be our military objective" should follow from the above. Also, if you have any other thoughts that should/shouldn't be included in your opinion, please state them too! The above questions are only some broad questions, and are certainly not complete.
Thanks for commenting :)
