@AltRightHero@Jig Thinking about it, how about I designate that region with an open to interpretation title. Like say, "Minor Republics, States and Tribes?"
@Isotope Oh yeah, the UPC as we know it is long dead, former plainers near Casacdia will sign-up in droves to take back their homes, but not the country. Although you'll have to contend with the Separatists, who of course have no plans on losing their big chance of independence.
@Jig I have an idea to answer both questions. Perhaps that blank spot could be a client state of Jodesia? One that is planing it's own little offensive in the federation with the aid of Jodesian "Advisors"(in actuality, would be whole battalions or divisions worth of troops).
Hmm, I'm wondering, would it be alright if I can have that bit of land between my colony and the Lizard Clans, and to connect and all. If not then that's alright.
