Rather than leave, I would recommend that Spamage stay in the Region and work with the good people there to restore it, at least short and medium term.

We can agree or disagree whether dismantling the Pacific government was wise or not, it still wasn't a "crime". Sadly, we allowed this situation to legally happen.

But adopting "crime" metaphor for a moment, when criminals are on rampage, the law enforcement is responsible for failing to ensure public safety. So, when a group of extremists was able to take power and disband the government, political establishment is certainly responsible for allowing this to happen.

I probably wouldn't join the movement, but since it happen, I propose we let it run. It shall be a warning for politicians in other regions what happens if they fail to run a damn government.

I'm sure that regardless of calling the constitution "final", territories can be readmitted if the people would want this. And if they don't, what's the harm in having unorganized territories? Pacific citizens still can vote and participate.

This whole thing may be an interesting experiment and, trurly, Atlasia is really static right now.

It certainly will be static for them. And I think many will leave and if we keep taking steps like that many, many more will leave as well.

I don't think we should stand by and allow the voice of a region to be denied. If the people want to change their gov't they have the right to alter it. The Federal Gov'ts responsbility is thus to channel that through a lawful process so to avoid violence and that is exactly what I hope we are able to do in the near future. It is there right, it is there responsbility to take such actions though.

What we should let stand is the lesson learned and focusing of our attention on what needs to be reformed, what we as Atlasians citizens need to do going forward and finally as players in game, how we respect the game and treat fellow participants.
