All I was saying was that there isn't a reason for IC to come to Gallia. I never insulted IC in my post and quite frankly you are over-reacting a bit. It's a simple reply to a comment, not everything is an attack you know.
The roleplay of Interspace Commerce has been every bit as shady and non-liberty oriented as that of the IND.
We moved our base of operations to Okinawa. We smuggled artefacts. We strengthened ties with the GMG. We moved stolen goods for the Junkers and the Mollys and the Hessians. We tried our level best to help out with diplomacy anywhere possible. We cut every possible deal in Rheinland. We bloody financed several bases in Bretonia. We've been distancing ourselves from Liberty in every way, shape, form, and method possible, and yet still everybody continuously refuses to acknowledge our hard work and efforts, and is like "lol your a liberty company lol".
IC has never, ever, ever, not since iKytec was founded, restricted itself to Liberty, or any one house. We have always focused the entirety of our efforts into expanding, growing, opening up new trade routes, increasing our standing within Sirius.
If you'll notice, the IC ID is different than all the other corporate ID's.
We, in view of our role to try to be non-liberty, asked for, and got, the removal of the "May engage in piracy against corporations affiliated with houses at war with X." clause that is on every single other corporate ID beacuse we. are. not. affiliated. with. any. single. house.
We have bases in all four houses.
We have NPC patrols in all four houses.
We are not part of the Liberty Government.
The Liberty government does not consider us a Liberty company.
We WERE, however, included in the Bretonian Parliament.
We worked extensively with Daumann to move and sell their diamonds.
When Kusari embargoed Liberty, instead of joining in with USI and Ageira and DSE in smuggling in plutonium and H-fuel from Okinawa, we attempted to resolve the situation diplomatically by negotiating on Kusari's behalf with Bretonia and Liberty (Unsuccsessfully, I might add, but nevertheless).
When Kusari went to war against the GMG, we once again tried the diplomatic path.
The Hellfire really, really, don't like us.
The SCRA HATE US, and they have a ceasefire with Liberty.
MEANWHILE, the IND OWN the LPI, but nop.
Definitely not Liberty.
And yes, this is an issue I take personally.
I butted heads with everyone imaginable about this one, one issue, that led to so much trouble for us in Rheinland and Kusari and with the various liberty-hating factions whilst i led the IC|.
gone four years, first day back: Zoners still getting shot in Theta :|

They also own Renzu, half of Rheinland and your mother's socks.
I'm not sure why you are getting so worked up still. IC is that faction that has always been around but ends up in the wrong side of deals due to conflicting RP and poor leadership (recently, at least).
Also, you are fighting against the grain of the wood here. If everyone still says that IC is a Libertonian faction, don't you think that says something?
But back on topic as IC doesn't equal zoners, unless you suddenly think they do, zoners should be able to at least go into Gallia. I doubt they would like it, with all of the corrupt police and other unlawful factions.
