Nice buzz word. However I never said they'd be stationed at the MSU headquarters, it's many times easier on logistics if an army sets aside a table of organization for future reference in times of combat, instead of simply scrambling to find usable equipment to form an alliance. I never said the MSU pays for it, as we aren't deploying our troops (I refuse to deploy troops anywhere near you two), but we would simply be compiling a list of what units would go where in the event of an operation.
Let's say X division is listed as an MSU unit, X division is under control of it's home nation until called for by the MSU, at which point it is placed under control of the MSU, and only then does it use MSU funds and resources. This method is more stream line then an elective assembly of a home nation deciding what it wants to send.
Not that I care too much at this point, I refuse to send any form of aid in the event that the MSU needs it.

Not sure how that's being dished out, but I proposed a modest buffet table (oh, about the width -or more- of the hall toward the back) filled with an assortment of desserts unique and distinct from each member nation. All desserts are mingled together, so no one member nation's dish is separated (unless your dessert requires a space for itself) or sectioned off from the rest. Servers are behind to answer questions and even serve any of the desserts that require too much elbow grease.
My suggestion would ask members to name at least one dessert from their nations that players would encounter when the desserts have been laid out.
The mixing of many desserts is on purpose and symbolic. Arranging desserts specifically so that it doesn't have inadvertent effects when in proximity to another dish is no small task. So is making sure that servers are fully aware of their section to answer any questions due to allergy or possibly toxic reactions to specific races. That kind of hard work is akin to what the MSU's reps are tasked with. Nothing brings cultures together like a decadent dish or drink, and nothing says unity more than satisfying a sweet tooth made from another nation
Note: naturally, not all desserts are sweet, not all desserts are solid, and not all are strictly cold nor hot. The only real separation here would be hot-served desserts from cold-serve desserts, and even that is being mingled in as much as possible. Also, naturally, you don't need to have a dessert introduced if you don't have one or simply don't want to, I just encourage you to try your hand at it or simply have a taste of another's dessert.
Thoughts?
If this is suggestion is taken, I have 2 desserts that will be mingled with all others: A light & airy mousse from the land of the Kurzicks, and another light and red, (but alcoholic) drink hailed from the Traxian Union made from a blood-red citrus.

True, I just don't like when the numbers get ridiculously high, with each side shoveling millions upon millions of troops into combat. If each side in total deploys less than 1 million, I'm okay with deploying a few thousand myself. I don't think I'd ever deploy more than 100k troops to any war.

There is far more to a war than just numbers. Characters, scenery, plots.. Twists and turns ectera, no one is going to want to read ten pages of people shooting back and forth at one another and ships blowing up when there's no actual character or feel to it.. Ie a ship gets critically hit and you can describe the carnage inside; the phycological effect on your characters and the flight or fight response your crews would be experiencing especially when there are flames billowing from power conduits.
To top it off you can describe through the battles and the thread how your characters psyches change or evolve.

I don't "man up" or "send troops into the fight". I arrive with a few expendable vessels and fuck with the solar system, thereby causing the world containing the offending species to become unstable. Then I sit back and watch as nature takes its course. Afterwards, I consume the now-useless planet, and proceed to hunt down every last being belonging to that species. A game of that nature can run well over two years. That's how Cer and a few others ended up with only 9% of their former population. Truces are good for some things, I suppose.
That's why my small witherwards don't participate in wars, and also why I don't bring my main nation into play. That main nation supplies my witherwards with military protection and, if I'm playing a witherward (such as the one that joined the MSU), I don't engage in anything that could be viewed as warlike in nature. I prefer to play the nemesis.
Editing to add: my witherwards are satellite states.

Yeah the difference in tech levels makes peacekeeping hard.
Do star ships show up to defend a tribal genocide?
How do MT forces stop a PMT force from rolling over a planet or two?
That and as Swith mentioned some of us cant conduct small military actions without large consequences.

Tribal genocide?.. I assume something like this would apply

If it was a FT doing it to a MT or another FT nation, then we would sure as hell intervene.
