I am inclined to echo the sentiments of the Senators who have lent their voices to this. The Pacific is by far the safest region undoubtably in this game.
No one will ever mount a successful coalition against a feeder region because of the simple fact human nature will not allow it. When you are dealing with 600+ nations who all have different allegiances and goals you are dealing with a myriad of problems a region does not have. You have people who want to grab control for themselves, varying security protocols and moles.
The combined indignation of the NS world could not put aside their differences to take the Pacific. A band of rag tag ne'er do wells haven't a prayer assailing anything with more than 50 endorsements let alone a feeder region.
Perhaps what you are more worried about is the general lawlessness that is apparently becoming more prevalent in NS. This is a noble concern. There is nothing to stop you from assisting regions beseiged by Barbarians like Gen. Powell. I can tell you outright that the NPO will never have a standing army.
Several reasons, chiefly if the citizenry cannot band behind Comrade Franco and the NPO Senate we have no reason nor right to exist. We do stand behind this order and pride ourselves on the hate it inspires in the outside, we have no need for an Army.
Secondly if we were to leave the borders of this region as an International Brigade to lend assistance we would be immediately accused of being expansionist. We would be maligned for trying to export our revolution beyond our borders no matter how untrue the allegation.
Nothing stops us from acting independantly, but at no time are we wrapping the banner of the NPO around us as we do so. The NPO, the Pacific will be determinedly neutral in all things. This does not mean we approve by our inaction, we will not be pulled into a situation because of a blank cheque arrangement. I assume you remember what happened when Austria Hungary cashed one in the Germans had written?
