Originally by: Butter Dog Enlighten me, do the 'great powers' cordially decline to roam providence out of respect for CVA's NRDS policy?
Of course not.
UK have been a primarily NRDS entity since inception. We would not wish to manage Providence in the same way CVA does, but we're not stupid. We know there needs to be a feeling of some law and order to encourage new corporations and alliances to make their first move into 0.0 space.
Roaming gangs are easy to avoid - a cloak or a POS provide that (or docking rights). And if the 'great powers' do not territorially assault Providence, which under UK influence they would not (since we have no other territorial ambition like CVA), then life would be better under UK influence than it is under CVA rule, for most Providence residents.
There is nothing to prevent Providence residents under UK influence from joining together and 'defending their space', much like they do now. A key difference is that CVA currently hold a lot of space, and make ISK from docking and refinery taxes. A UK influenced Providence would see this evil empire removed and returned to the people, younger corps and alliances who perhaps wish for an outpost of their own - leading to an increase, not a decrease, in the number of people living in Providence.
The future for a Providence under greater influence of UK is bright.
Mr. Dog,
I would like to point out the most valuable point in this entire discussion, and I feel it is best directed to what your alliance wishes everyone to believe, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton
While, you, as you represent U'K and -A- in this discussion, will always talk about keeping the same policies, procedures, and respect given to those that CVA and other Providence Holders gave to smaller, industrial, and wealthy alliances and Corporations faith is going to be a hard thing to restore. From your background description, of being tribal political structure, it will be a very difficult in that respect as well.
If you actually believe that this will be a easy accession to the throne of power you will be sadly mistaken. The only recommendation I can give with this issue is I would try and find middle ground, otherwise your enemies will over run you. Power, yes, will be held for a small bit of time, but you will not be able to hold onto this power for longer than a year or so. Learn from the lessons of the past, and remember you are more likely to attack friends with honey than vinegar.
