we deny it because there is no truth to that, not because of some wish to keep the status quo
there is nothing that prevents a large number of alliances from essentially operating as a single alliance and there is also no reason why Socialism In Space cannot extend across multiple alliances - this is already the case with both of the major blocs Twitter: @EVEAndski

Saying "if alliances are forced to divide themselves, these things will happen" is also pure speculation FYI

Yeah because people never leave their corporations and corporations never leave their alliances Twitter: @EVEAndski

Nope, there is nothing about your idea that implies any of that. Alliance A having to divide into Alliances B-Z doesn't mean that Alliances B-Z can't run just as well as a single alliance.

You are suggesting a system of scaling sovereignty bills in order to force alliances to separate into what are basically small fiefdoms. Here's why it's bad:
First, holding a typical sized constellation of 6 systems will cost 6.3 billion ISK per month if the base monthly cost is 100m. A large constellation with 9 systems will cost 51.1 billion ISK per month to hold. Sev3rance, a small alliance in Providence, would pay 102.3 billion ISK per month in sov bills to hold their 10 systems.
Now, here's the thing. Goonswarm would have to create another 40 alliances to keep its sov bills at a manageable level under your proposed system, but those alliances wouldn't actually have to have any members beyond the executor corp and a few alt corps belonging to people who want to drop towers in systems held by that alliance. You'd still have the 10000 member monolith that is GSF, but the big yellow spot on the map would be considerably smaller. Everyone would still play within the same alliance and they'd continue playing just like they do now. This only changes things at the administrative level and not at the line member level.
So what does it accomplish? A bunch of nonexistent alliances on the Verite map and not much else. Twitter: @EVEAndski
