Skeelzania votes nay! History has shown that being involved in more than one alliance either drags you unwillingly into wars, or provides years of boring and stagnating peace. It was to keep this factionalism alive that we withdrew from the Alliance of Aranamor before joining the ESUS, and we will not be forced into a second alliance.

You are not forced to become a member of the other alliance. You are merely discouraged from firing upon members of the pact.

Within the bounds of this pact, you could incite a member of the IDP into starting a war with you, and because they started it, the IDP wouldn't be able to intervene without breaking the treaty and causing the entire ESUS to become involved.

Quite frankly, any nation that comes a hundred light years from my main worlds without my permission, no matter what affiliation, ally or no, will be warned to leave... If they do not heed the warning, the Five Civilized Nations will not be responsible for the destruction of space vessels of allied or non-aligned nations...

We are already engaged in activities with El Sentiel which are expected to lead to an exchance of weapons fire. From the IDP thread...

Kanuckistan wrote: The Dominion of Kanuckistan, an ESUS member, would like to note that we are(Independently) engaged in the investigation of El Sentiel and expect that the application of sociopolitical reform may be necessary; the original hunam population seems to have been effectivly invaded, subjigated, and enslaved by the Kzinti faction.

In the unlikly event force is requiored, we will employ it on the authority of a response to a distress call sent by the original inhabitants of the Wunderland colony on the eve of the Kziniti invasion and occupation which formed the current government.

We will not fire the first shot, but cannot presently recognise the authority of the current administration, as they are in effect an occupying army.
