Liberations were introduced because certain raider groups, such as Macedon, were locking-down the regions that they captured under a password and then expelling all of the natives in order to keep those regions permanently as trophies -- and thus keep their names, including such "valuable" ones as 'France' and 'Belgium', unavailable for use by anybody else -- with just one or two of their puppets as the only occupants: Can you actually suggest an alternative method, other than the idea of hoping for a higher level of self-restraint by all raiders than tjhose particular "empire-building" groups have shown so far, for preventing that course of action?
