Discussion topic - New York Military

I would like to open for discussion the state of our New York military, or therefore lack of.

I have notice that New York's government is strongly RPG, and the current "Defense Sec" position is only to track role-playing stats for nation's armies.

Which is fine to have a position to do that, but I think it would be a good idea to establish a military for New York in terms of the game mechanics of the WA.

I think it is a part of the game that NY has so far over looked and could add a new aspect and activity for NY.

In NS there are two different types of regional military, raiders and defenders, as most of you probably know.

Raiders raid founderless regions to claim them in the name of their region.

Defenders defend founderless regions from being raided, or if raided liberate them.

Defending is more noble and a bit more difficult, and currently in NS more people defend and there are larger defender organizations like the FRA or UDL.

While raiding on the other hand is a bit more fun and easier, but carries a negative connotation with it, and raiders are out numbered by defenders.

So I ask what are people's thoughts on NY's lack of a military? Would you be for creating a military? If so which path do you think NY should follow defender or raider?

I encourage everyone to post their thoughts, even non-fire members are encouraged to get their input!

First of all, as a peace loving leader of my people, i think we should stick to talking as a way to defend our regions. But IF violence is the only answer, we need the technology, funds, and manpower we couldnt afford yet.

Secondly, all decisions are to be approved by Layarteb and Layarteb ONLY, since he's the supreme governor of defence.

Thirdly, we need MORE allies from neighbouring states if you want to put up a good fight, since other states already have an armada six time the size of our military

Well i'm more talking about the WA game mechanistic of war of talking over or defending different founderless regions. Not the role-playing states of nations, funds and technology and such are irrelevant to what i'm talking about.
