But I wouldn't say GCRs have reverted to "non-ideological mutual respect and cooperation." If imperialism rises again, we'll see more diplomatic conflict. Ideology still plays a significant role in GCR relations. It's just that the ideological gap between GCRs isn't as wide anymore.

One can hardly consider taking the helm of the most stable feeder in the game a disaster, regardless of possible errors made by departed members of our government in other regions.
Regardless of what may or may not have resulted diplomatically from the blunders in Lazarus, the Pacific and the NPO remained stalwart throughout.

Stable feeder? Can I have some of that kool-aid as well? The Pacifc has been in decline for years. The only people that stick around are the loyalists or the ones who don't know how to join a new region. I would hardly consider that "stable".

Cormac Stark wrote:To say that UIAF dissolution has played a role in the thaw is accurate, but to call that the major factor is an inaccurate oversimplification. Changes within and between the Feeders and Sinkers, and the dissolution of both competing blocs, have led to the thaw. You can't deny that a once powerful defender-leaning bloc of four GCRs has largely ceased to exist, leaving Lazarus and The Rejected Realms as, once again, the only two defender GCRs and the only two even remotely leaning in that direction. That's the other side of the coin, which you failed to note, and the collapse of the defender-leaning GCR bloc has been at least as important as dissolution of the UIAF in thawing the cold war.

Really no different from Misley driving The Internationales foreign affairs to meet leftist goals, and The Internationale claims to fight against imperialism.
