Yes, everything you posted after this was.
Not only do you misunderstand what independence is, you also entirely misunderstand TNP's complaint over TSP's appointment of HS. I'm honestly surprised. I know you've never really been that quick on the uptake, but the Independent Manifesto has been around for a long time, and it's pretty clear on what it stands for.
Maybe pontificate less, and read more.
Did you not consider that I had exactly the Independent Manifesto in mind when I made my last post?
The ultimate objective of an Independent region’s diplomacy is to maximize utility for the region
--
collaboration can exist on the [...] condition that the other parties will acknowledge and respect the Independent region’s freedom to act in any capacity its self-interests dictate
--
decisions and guidelines on the types of military operations an Independent military may execute are adopted on the basis of regional interests
Need I go on?
Are these positions that signal to allies or potential allies that a region is a reliable partner, and not one who will abandon ship the moment partnership becomes a burden to their highly-utilitarian diplomatic philosophy?
