Unless people are allowed to mess with gallia (bringing ships out and interacting since there really is no council and the royalists are to isolationist) there is to be no point in it even being put in. With limited events allowing ships to leave (with the stipulation of no overpowered weaponry) you allow for Gallia to be a bit more out there to the general populace. Maybe it would make it less dead who knows? But as of now there is no point for it really to exist which is really sad....
This is why im pushing for some interaction and before the next patch. You think if you leave Gallia like this for a year or half year its gonna be fine when its eventaully opened up? I doubt it probably get a brief spike but forever remain dead. There should be no reason for Gallia to be this dead and cut off. Give her some interraction by not stifeling the players trying to bring some rp there by making them sanction bait!
