The last thing concerning conflict between regions occurred in March-April 2019 where NPO's military battled JTF and LazGuard for a Warzone embassy for about a month. After that things tapered off fairly quickly and the most you'd find were some arguments in NSGP Discord over various issues.

Imperium Anglorum wrote:To borrow from reminiscing done by Gruenberg on the WA Discord:The (simplistic) way I thought about it back then (without having much handle on how things are now) is:
Every nation should ban capital punishment. <- "intfed" position, as used on the forum
Every nation should have capital punishment. <- "intfed" position, as used on the forum
Every nation should decide for themselves whether to have capital punishment. <- "natsov" position, as used on the forum
The latter is obviously easier to coalesce around than the first two, which are mutually incompatible even if they take the same premise about WA action. Which is why there was never any particularly coherent statement of "intfed" ideology.
Historical IntFeds trended policy-wise towards social democracy, which is in line with the political lean of the site as a whole. In opposition to this were NatSovs who generally trended more against the IntFeds than towards any specific policy. (Eg social democrats want a mixed economy with property rights. Far-right people want to take stuff from people they don't like. Far-left people also want to take stuff from people they don't like.) Gruenberg reports also that IntFed initially formed as a policy group and that the group basically immediately disintegrated over disagreements as to what specific policies ought to be enacted, which is no surprise.

The introduction of repeals, and then the innovation of what were at the time called "national rights" resolutions, but have since become known by the somewhat uglier term "blockers". Up until then there was basically no debate as it was all one way traffic.

Goobergunchia wrote:The other divide that helped the NatSovs back in the day is that a lot of the more NatSov-oriented players were just better at understanding the UN as a game construct and writing proposals that, on a technical level, didn't suck. Back in the day the proposal list was usually at least a dozen pages of proposals, most of which were poorly-written garbage that would get, at most, a handful of approvals. Ideologically I might agree with the players that are submitting their idealistic proposals to make all UN nations better places but when you're not even on the forums? I'm probably never going to interact with you.

Graintfjall wrote:I didn't join the game until 2005 so this is more of memory of reading the threads than participating in them, but I'd quibble slightly there. There was a lot of agitation to repeal "Fight the Axis of Evil" (so much so that about 17 different attempts were submitted, crowding each other out and leading to a slight delay before delegates coalesced around one). After that there wasn't a consensus about repealing older resolutions, at all. The first repeal to pass, not counting Repeal "Fight the Axis of Evil", was in Jan 05, Repeal "Legalizing Prostitution", and that was definitely part of a sea-change that saw people advocating national sovereignty becoming more active. I wouldn't say repealing the worst of the early UN resolutions was becoming generally accepted practice until a bit later.
