Should official factions have more power?

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.

Well put Ventana. I can't really think of anything to add that would sound different from what you just said. I'm a firm believer that there is an RP answer to EVERYTHING. Most people nowadays are so worried about getting someone sanctioned over silliness that it ruins everyone's fun eventually.

So to reiterate what Ventana said, if a dictator rises up don't worry about it, just join the rebellion. Then if the rebellion wins you can form a new republic or become the new dictator yourself.

Imagine the possibilities!
