Lari Sup, Sardaukar Confederacy: While invader groups are becoming more fragmented, regions on the other side of the aisle are becoming more cohesive. Two major agreements have changed the geo-political landscape of nationstates: The Meritocratic annexation of the Sardaukar Confederacy and the Nasicournia/North Pacific treaty, which is still in the ratification process.
The Meritocracy, long against UN membership and pro-isolationist, has begun to blossom to the world, and annexing the Sardaukar Confederacy is a big step, as the Confederacy has always been active in inter-regional affairs. The Meritocracy is starting to build an army, and the addition of a province that has been effective in defending will defiantly be an asset to the Meritocracy. Hidlberg, UN delegate of the Sardaukar Confederacy, has stated that the Confederacy will maintain a large amount of continuity and autonomy. “No government changes will be made, other then we are asked to have one legislator per ten nations to participate in large decisions concerning large-scale Meritocractic issues…UN membership will remain in tact and is not frowned on in any way.” Confederate Emperor Sarda echoed these sentiments, “Regional leadership is technically left to the Meritocratic Consul, but the Confederacy has always been relatively laid back, so fortunately for me... complications have been few.” The main restriction on the new province is that senators of the meritocracy can not be UN members, but other nations are allowed to join.
Another major hegemonic treaty is one currently being hammered out between Nasicournia and the North Pacific. Both are Alliance Defense Network (ADN) signatories, but both groups feel that their ideals are close enough that they should be linked by more than a treaty of 34 nations. There are several key points in the treaty, including a mutual defense clause, sharing of information by the intelligence officers, creation of embassies, and both signatories are forbidden from having alliances with known “invader groups.” Failure to follow the provisions of the treaty will result in its invalidation.
The impact of these treaties and mergers are still yet to be seen. One cautionary tale of consolidation is the Tactical Alliance Group. TAG fell apart because it grew too large with too many regions for there to be sufficient coordination and control. As defender groups continue to merge and grow, they must be careful that they do not suffer the same fate and become an apathetic, bureaucracy choked morass that topples from under the weight of their membership. This is Lari Sup, changing the outcome by observing it.
