When I joined, back in 2005 Micras could still easily be divided into different spheres of influence with all the different pacts- the Asian-themed nations, CIS, CWOM, GC, NAM, and Novasolum all had distinct sectors. Whilst this influences other nations (it was, I believe, the main cause why Matbaa became inactive and still is), Shireroth has that great advantage of a vast territory to use and plenty of people. Also, Shirereithans, whether they be Barons, Dukes, or Counts ultimately have less commitment to their subdivision that they do to Shireroth. Therefore, I say we formalise this paratrooper landing at Port Nevermore into a Shirereithans-only Civil War. Xmas/Hannukah/Winter Solstice is approaching and I feel it would be a laugh. Activity generating and something for ShireWiki if anything.
What I suggest is that every Baron mobilises and aligns their county to the Royalist (Erik) faction or Nick's faction. I don't know what to call the latter, but we should give the anti-Erik relatiation people a proper name for simplicity's sake.
Because we're all Shirereithans, there'll be no hard feelings and since we'll be aligning each barony and duchy to a certain faction, there will be a front line from Day 1, making this an interesting war, without all those annoying amphibious landings all micronational wars seem to be these days.
Oh, and although most people seem to be retaliating against Erik these days, for fairness' sake we ought to allocate him a couple of duchies' loyalty so we've got equal balance.
What does everyone think? If this goes ahead, I may do more than just give free cake to both sides in future
And Elwynn too!
