    I think that pushing people out of a particular trading sphere is nowhere near as worrisome as their tendency to push people out of existence in its entirety. Not that I disagree with what you're saying here; the Moldavi Doctrine is not something which should have ever been allowed to pass.

    I agree totally.

    It's a bad idea for someone who is trying to strengthen their own position to start conquering their sphere simply from a pragmatic perspective. But there is nothing about it that is inherently wrong or repugnant on any moral level or whatnot. To put it simply, you seem to take issue with acts that you perceive as bullying, and I take issue with acts that I perceive as irrational. Conquering a color sphere happens to fall under both of those. In a more general sense, though, an alliance having the power to bend others to their will and exercising that power is not necessarily wrong; it's what I would expect to happen and it is what drives the politics of this game. So long as those actions remain within the confines of the game (which taking over a sphere would) then there isn't anything wrong with them from an out-of-game viewpoint, and they may actually be desirable.

    While I agree bending people to your will isn't a bad idea, but I think its morally wrong to do that to other alliances within the game. It takes away the possibility of playing the way you would want to play it. If you could 'corner the market' so to say, and make people boost your economy, then it would have a desirable outcome for you. But would hamper the growth of other nations.

    But like you said letting more nations/alliances can do nothing but help the sphere, then why would, or should a alliances start booting people out. Just to assert ones strength? It would hurt the growth of the sphere and hurt the other alliances and lead to further conflict, that would harm the rest of the sphere by taking away tech deals and the like.

    I say no one should be able to do what they did. No one should have the right to force people out of a certain sphere for no reason. That amount of power shouldn't be had by a single alliance.

    Why should someone bend others to their will and threaten them for no good reason. It tantamount to bullying at a international level, and should not be accepted by the denizens of Planet Bob. Maybe a coalition of pissed off alliances to attempt to right those wrongs is what CN needed.
