Oh, good Lord.
Look, I fully support moving the seat of government to a more centralized location if that is what the people of the Region want, but this:
As the founder of NMEA, I oppose the current draft constitution for the Northern Region as written and will continue to oppose it until the capital is moved to a more centralized location and there are protections put in place to protect the people of the Mideast.
is simply absurd. There
is an amendment process, you know. We have been working on this Constitution for over a month now - to scrap the entire thing because
one sentence is not to your liking is completely irrational.
As for the bizarre suggestion that we might somehow "restore" the Mideast Region:
are you people insane? We went over and over this at the ConCon: the game in its current form cannot support four regions without one or more of them lapsing into inactivity. To cleave the North in two would effectively murder both regions and return the game to the unsustainable position it was in a year ago.
The time has come for us to set aside old sectional prejudices and unite as one people. I was as proud as anyone to be a citizen of the Mideast. The months I spent presiding over its legislature remain the happiest of my Atlasian career. But because I love the Mideast, I renounce the fatal hubris that would deny us the fruits and opportunities of this new age. The distinctions between Mideasterners and Northeasterners are no more. I am not a Mideastern man, but a Northerner.
