Should official factions have more power?

[Cyberanson]

We have, however, collected a bevy of lessons thus far which nicely demonstrate the destructive tendencies of either moving too closely towards factions maintaining an iron grip to the detriment of the region, such as Rhienland of old, or to when factions can do absolutely nothing save look on in frustration, such as the Rheinland of today.

we don't need some lone immature dictator ruining everyone else's fun just so they can have a power trip.

I'd like to combine these two posts, as it shows exactly the problem, in my opinion. Let's take the situation in Rheinland: we have the Gottkanzler as the lone dictator and the Rheinland Military enforcing the law with high brutality. If this isn't what you want to see, then join the Red Hessians, the Volksfront, or fight the military as a lone terrorist with one of those IDs. Nobody will stop you from doing so... and that's the point!

A faction occupies a certain territory, enforces the local laws. You can follow these laws or fight them. If you don't choose one of these possibilities, then stay the heck out. There is a lot of space out there, which you can discover.

I'm totally for this system, as it stands for the essence of 'Free'-lancer.
