You are just jealous because everyone of us have been busying bombing planets and declaring Mother Nature as an Enemy of the State, while you haven't done a single thing constructive as a citizen of Korpulu Zone.
Shame on you.

Given my desires to make nuking or annihilating a good Earth-like habitable world a major faux pas, I might soon write a post concerning that. And the fact that it happened in the Koprulu Zone.

And most likely the Koprula zone folks will look up, pay attention for a moment, then go 'eh silly peoples' and go back to plotting to devour/atomize/purge/nuke their neighbours as per usual.
Steve, I think it may be just as well if the bloodthirsty guys are allowed to play in their own sandbox off in a corner of the map as is now the case; it's probably best for all involved that way. That way, they can enjoy their "Shroomy, Destroyer of Worlds" activities, while the rest of us play a different game elsewhere.
Interfering in the omnicidal-manic wackiness that is the Koprulu Sector will harm their fun more than it enhances our fun.

Well, the post would have boiled down to someone talking about such a protest and a more astute expert on the area listing all the ways the protest would be ignored, countered, or mocked.

Or have an inspection team from the UN Environmental Protection Agency appear and slap the Bragulans with a fine.

I have decided that it is time for me to bring the dangling plot thread of the Prussian-Umerian discussions to a close. Prussia has basically ignored the Umerian concerns about the Volksland issue for a full two in-game months, offering no substantial assurances and actively going back on its word on one occasion.
Now, if this were due to LoC9's inactivity on the board, that would be fine and I would not be annoyed. But he has posted in this forum repeatedly since my last post which extended to him an opportunity to address the Umerian concerns: about his struggles with random pirates and his decision to wage a struggle against other, equally random pirates. Thus, I conclude that he cannot be bothered to say anything to me, or even to say that he will not say anything.
As such, I feel I have a right to conclude that the official Prussian stance on Volksland is one of evasion: making no promises or policy proposals and deferring any substantial discussion, since this is exactly what LoC9 has been doing for the past week, while he has nonetheless found time to both make up his own post about a completely new activity his nation is involved in, and to write brief diplomatic notes to someone who hasn't got an outstanding grievance they want addressed.
The Umerian reaction to this is not surprising to anyone who understands their national character, in my opinion.

I would think "just laugh", since doing the latter means the UN gets angry. And you wouldn't like them when they're angry.

So the practical upshot of my recent posts is that if LoC9 does not reply soon, the negotiations will be broken off entirely and Hoffman will (in effect) be sent packing. Hopefully, from the Umerians' point of view, this will trigger the fall of his Government and its replacement by someone who is smarter, less selectively deaf and blind to their concerns, or both.

The Outlander Commissions has its own Space Muslim population; perhaps they recognize the Second Mohammad, but the Klavostanis don't.

What with the way they found a big meteor that they claimed the black stone(s) of the Kaaba(s) came from somewhere out in the Outlands, it seems like a ripe breeding ground for offshoot Muslim sects the way the vastly more secular Klavostanis could hardly give a shit about.
"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

Well, you know. Technically they are a xeno power, and they aren't obligated to follow a human power at all.
It simply isn't realistic, unless you want to pull a mod fiat...

Koprulu Zone Rules, man. They're not obligated to follow the UN's directions unless the UN decides to make them obligated
Though yeah I don't think the UN would bother with a punitive expedition over that. Or maybe it would? Lots of humans died on Majella, after all.
