Currently the region of "The West Pacific" is in a state of Civil War. Respected nationstate Ketosh (known at CFC as SeleucusNicator) has enlisted several of Civfanatica's UN Members to join the battle on the side of the opposition party. They hope to speed the resolution of the conflict in favor of Erlenav.
(The established ruler of The West Pacific is Norion.)
By taking part in the revolution, Civfanatica's member nations hope to lay the foundation of a strong alliance with Erlenav.
The Commonwealth of Mojotronica has considered joining his fellow nationstates, but has opted against it. We trust SeleucusNicator to side with righteousness, but know too little about the political situation in The West Pacific to choose a side. And we fear that the war effort might backfire on those involved. We feel it's best to keep a low profile in situations like this -- there's no guarantee that Erlenav will prevail -- and as much as he or she might be a potential ally, Norion is going to emerge as an enemy. Once Erlenav takes the reigns of power, Norion will remain a threat unless banned. And banning of one's political rival makes one no better than the despised Francos Spain of "The Pacific" region.
So far Norion has taken the high road and has not banned Erlenav. If Norion does so, the revolution will suffer a major setback and be prolonged. If Norion does not, that speaks volumes of Norion's committment to democracy. If Norion does not but Erlenav does, then The West Pacific has simply replaced a democratic regime with a tyranny...
It seems to me that it there is no way to approach this war (as an outsider) without a significant downside. So we are opting out.
However, political coups are part of the fun of NationStates, so we don't begrudge anyone their involvement in it. We will do what we can to defend Civfanatica in your absence. You will always have a home there.
