While the swipe at me in Vulturett's first paragraph is cute, the neutrality in the bill is based on broad support for neutrality in Lazarus. I don't have any personal preference for it. What I do have a preference for is actually creating a military, which we're not going to do if the community...

Worth noting that we aren't TEP's ally, nor have they treated us like one by remaining in a treaty alliance with the NPO despite the NPO's aggression against us.

Against, for reasons I articulated here and also fleshed out in a Discord conversation:

I've removed what used to be Section 3, because I think it belongs in a different law to regulate the military, not in a constitutional law. Constitutional laws should only establish basic frameworks, not meticulous details. For reference though, this is what used to be Section 3, and could be...

I don't think setting terms was wise, in hindsight. The NPO could never be trusted, so we could never really have any confidence the terms would be kept. I don't think making a mistake by initially setting terms should prevent us from doing what's best for Lazarus now though. We shouldn't be...

This just isn't the case. It's true that interregional intervention sometimes doesn't end coups, but I personally participated in the interregional intervention that helped end Milograd's coup of the South Pacific in 2013. Interregional intervention could possibly have ended the 2013 coup of...

We need some kind of a military anyway. This has been discussed at length. Regions aren't going to agree to mutual defense treaties with us when those will in reality be one-sided. No one is going to be interested in defending Lazarus when Lazarus can't repay the favor, and isn't interested in...

I've already made my opinion well known on Discord and on this forum, so I'm not going to post a new wall of text about it -- not that anyone else shouldn't have, because all of these posts have been very articulate and have furthered the discussion. I appreciate all of you for putting the...

I had genuinely forgotten about that post, because since then you've become more critical of the NPO. At the time your nonchalance seemed like it was part of the shilling that was going on elsewhere (on Discord) by Glen, Roavin, Altmoras, et al. The more we talked about it on Discord via...

I don't recall ever accusing you of shilling for the NPO. Can you show me where that happened? Listen, Roavin has been defending the NPO since this whole thing started. Anytime he has anything to say about the NPO situation on Discord it's either to defend the NPO or to argue against something...

As I said on Discord, thank you for taking this step so the situation can be corrected and done the right way. I appreciate it.

The problem is that we can't have any confidence any of these terms will continue to be met long-term. The NPO has a history of removing people from office and banning them, but later reinstating them. That was the entire reason Feux, AMOM, and Stujenske were "freed up" to come infiltrate...

Eh, this would be a bit easier a perspective for some of us to come to, were he not busily shilling for the NPO under the current circumstances as well. Roavin, my question for you is why we shouldn't recall you from office, given that you hid your identity as Curious Observations and your...

It's almost like no one in the NPO is really serious about this, and they're just going through the motions hoping we're all stupid enough to be placated. Because people who are talking about how much they hate all of us and vaguely threatening future retribution aren't people who are serious...

Aye

I'm not going to call you any of those things, because I appreciate you being respectful enough to acknowledge that dual citizenship isn't a good idea at the moment, and to resign citizenship without a fuss. I could criticize the fact that you're choosing the NPO over Lazarus, but I would rather...

Looks like discussion has settled down, and we need to get this rolling sooner rather than later. I move for a vote.

For.
