well I cant say much for RoK's position as I am not party to it, but from what I have read in the past of NPO's dealings, CN has been a world where like now in Iraq you couldnt fart without NPO giving you permission to do so.
to that end I see commonality between the two.
as for NPO wanting terms and what not I have only seen the one post about them refusing what was offered, and do not know if another offer to them was made.
