I'm just going to answer the econ-related parts of your question. Imperial chose SIWELCELA because he believed SIW was about econ, not just about power as Konkrage was. Also, there was a lot of issues between me and Konkrage that led them to choose SIW. SIW's economic policies per say are not what is causing our stagnation. The lack of SIW has. However, we have an extremely capable econ staff run by madalchemist. Madalchemist is by far the great CoFS the Legion has ever seen and will make an excellent MoE in the future. I for one am concerned with our growth, but I have rejoined econ and hope to guide them in the right direction. I know that the Ministry of Economics can succeed with a little push. We did take a hit in the Karma war, but that is no excuse for our lack of growth in the past few months. We changed our recruiting policy and are building a stronger member core so that is probably why in the last few weeks our ANS has risen and our AS has stagnated. In the next month or so this will balance out and the jetting will take place and you will see our score skyrocket. We plan to import massive amounts of technology (hopefully from you guys as well). All that said, I can assure you we will have a sanction in the next 5-6 months.
