Hello!
So I'm aware the Storytellers are quite careful with the details about how they want to go about RPing (rules, canon-supported details, what have you), and that certainly holds merit in my book. That said, the topic about independent nations doesn't seem to have come up (at least in the poor attempt I've made to look for it, anyway).
I am aware that the topic of businesses has come up (at least once) and held that businesses in Star Trek would be there. Now, what about independent nations?
As I've seen it in Star Trek, given already that businesses would be a thing, I wouldn't consider it far-fetched for one to go on and make actual grabs of planets, making their own warships (On another topic, Starfleet/KDF/Rommie appearing ships with different IFF signatures - yes or no?), and claiming political recognition. The Maquis already showed this isn't much of an effort to do, especially with Sisko's expressed concern when learning about it, suggesting they would have to treat it like a thing.
I'll grant how it comes about is a separate topic, and one that definitely would need a bit more in-depth explanation and justification. That's one topic I intend to save for now.
So, thoughts?
P.S. I do apologize if by making this post as guest I infringe any sort of posting rules. But, this seems like a good opportunity to start communicating and seeing first-hand how you lot come about with these discussions, willingness to converse, and generally looking past tell-tale to form my own opinion about you all (a good one for the most part, I might add).
