[b]Triarian Commendation[/b]
The AIF has (much more politely) pointed out that the Triarians sacrifice freedom far more than the Equestrians. However, multiple diplomats have agreed that the Equiis Pact appears to them as an extension of Equestrian power, despite the apparent equality. Of course, some humans have also expressed that joining the Equiis Pact could have ended up returning the human economy to capitalism, a system they consider inferior to their current system, what with the free trade laws. The Abh are still saying that it would have been a good idea, and a larger power in the Pact could have made it better than the way the Triarians view it. The Dolphins are still steadfastly refusing to accept ever joining the Pact, and more refusal of Federation assistance in research and construction has begun by them. Meanwhile, the Boskops say that they have found joining the Equiis Pact to be "Unnecessary to the ultimate goal at the current time." The Ethra'Hirel, instead of just following the Boskops, have said that they would have welcomed the chance to fight alongside the "Glorious warriors of the Equiis Pact". Obviously, the CoF wants to join, while some of the more independent religions say they have no wish to join the Pact. Government polls have concluded that there is no danger of any violence over the matter, though. It seems the citizens of the Federation are trying to keep things civil.
