  1. An additional advantage in having a larger and better equipped upper tier is that often the enemy upper tier will enter PM to prevent having their upper tier lost in what would be a lost cause anyway. This allows the upper tier remaining in warmode the ability to aid bomb the various nations in the lower tiers requiring aid on a constant and long term basis. This was proven up until recently by the example in a few conflicts of umbrella being able to aid GOONS with Umbrella rarely having any serious issues of their own within their own NS ranges to bother about. This was proven particularly so in the DH-NPO war a few years back when even though the NPO lower and middle tier nations were mostly better equipped and possessed larger warchests, the constant supply of aid sent to GOONS from Umbrella allowed GOONS to wear the lower and middle tiers of NPO down until defeat was all but inevitable and this was due in part to the lack of aid being able to be sent to these middle and lower tier nations from the upper tier nations who were mostly stuck in PM.

     

    So in short, having a large upper tier in comparison to other alliances isn't merely just the possession of a tier able to destroy enemy rations within direct range, it's a tool that can indirectly secure victory on other fronts and NS ranges too. That I believe is the main benefit to be derived since once the enemy's upper tier is relegated to PM you have robbed the enemy of being able to send aid to their members in need to a large extent. Yes, every alliance, some more than others have a substantial amount of their members in possession of large amounts of surplus cash ready to aid others but being able to prevent an alliance from being able to send aid on a constant and complete basis will in turn impact on an alliance's ability to fight.

    What you call Neo Imperialist Moralism may simply be how Farrin conducts himself and wants NPO to behave?

     

    As I am sure you know Tywin, the Emperor in NPO determines how members of NPO conduct themselves both internally and externally. Different emperors and indeed alliance leaders in general view things differently. In an alliance such as NPO where the emperor has a greater amount of influence than say the leader of ODN does in determining the code of conduct followed by the alliance members, these differences can often amplified. What you somehow label as differing ideologies between the various emperors I view more as simply two different personalities approaching matters differently. It certainly isn't some distinct ideology, more so just the differences of personality manifested in FA policy.
