Ok, here's a quick Geopolitical brown townysis of the situation.
There are 2 powers trying to get supremacy over the planet. One is the Forums powers, mainly myself, Wizzeh and Tingolia, and the other was the informal alliance between HoTCR, Iodine, and New Rome.
The roughly equal power in these nations kept everything at a stalemate. But now that Wizzeh is gone and the "informal alliance" has space supremacy, they have emerged as the dictators of Cerio. Tharsha will not stand for this.
In time I suspect that HoTCR, Iodine, and New Rome will use their power to begin oppressing the smaller, less functioning nations around them. The balance of power has been severed.
Congratulations Oasis, you've traded one evil for another.
Also Watcher when did you get anti missile systems?
