Liberty Goverment?

[Magoo!]

Well, I sort of like this to be honest.

Some people say that making decisions like deploying the... I'm not up to date with battlegroups, but I'll throw the numer 103rd out there, to Texas to enforce the embargo. Now, given that we're a RP community and love it ever-so-much, IF these people had any sense of RP, they might go along just for the fun of it. Then again, they might go rogue like the 522nd, and start raiding depots and stations for H-Fuel and supplies if they don't like the order (Which I can't really see happening given this were a real circumstance).

In addition, telling the LSF to use a lower-key tag and go spy on Rheinland or tend to Fairbanks (its their brainchild after all) or do SOMETHING secret-like like they're supposed to. Or telling the LN to go enforce the borders, because taking out Rogues should be the police's job (mostly, main exception being the lack of other enforcers online). Sure, the LN info card says something along the lines of "... To protect Liberty and its interests".

Realistically, Liberty needs a war for their military to be implemented appropriately. The Missouri, Mississippi, Rio Grande... Umm, the one in California, those are all mostly just enforcing the space should a foreign entity attack. Much like US bases in Japan, or Germany, or California (rapid deployment... And don't take that in a FL sense!) those are mostly there to deploy the troops should the need arise. I rarely ever see an LN log off in a BS like they probably should.

"Well, my shift is over. Time to go home to the wife and kids on Manhattan! YUS!"

They joined the military. They will be deployed for months at a time, so unless one day in FL equates to 8 months or so in space, I'd really like to see this as well. AAAAND! Circling back to my original point, a government could make this happen. By saying something along the lines of, "Omg, rogue Navy pilot?! TREASON! He's gone AWOL on Manhattan. I sense Coouurrrt Martial!" Me? I RP a troop transport based out of the Mississippi. I usually take troops from there to Fairbanks, along with Light Arms or H-Fuel. No Court Martial for me, seeing as how I didn't desert my post.

If tensions with Rheinland are too high, a government could strengthen border security by posting battlegroups or just ordering about the LN to secure that area.

Now, of course, this would require cooperation from other houses, and we're stretched thin on Liberty as it is. But a Dictatorship or Monarchy shouldn't take too many people. At most, a few to act in Parliament for Bretonia along with the Queen. Emporer? He has his work cut out for him. These positions would of course be filled by trusted members of the community (not le admins, they've got their hands full) but people like Preatyre or Dusty although, a Xeno affiliate may not be the best choice for a Senator.:P

Well... If I go on, I'll lose track of the thought moreso than I already have. Sooo, I'll stop. I'm not even sure I said what I wanted to, but oh well. Just my thoughts on the matter.
