The Army Size Cap Law and Zerg Army Scandal
In late December 2005, Imperfectia, the Minister of Immigration, commented on how many of the newer active nations possessed some of the larger militaries. While this raised little attention, a new nation, Bloopa took the problem to heart. Reading through the rules regarding passing legislation, he drafted and submitted the Amry Size Cap Law, the first bill since the darktime, 6th bill since the region was founded.
While opinions on the matter were mixed, forgottenlord was the least concerned about army sizes and the most annoyed by the new legislation. Holding an army of about 100 million in Angel Fire, he felt the Bill to be pointless. The Bill proceeded to vote regardless and won in an 8-6 vote - the largest and closest vote to date. Still fuming, forgottenlord immediately started pulling a number of his UN tricks for abusing loopholes. First he requested a Joint Army Treaty, stating that Angel Fire had traditionally protected all three of his nations as the reason for the treaty. The region granted it with a significant majority. He then moved 45 million of his troops into an internal security unit - bringing his total troop count down to within the limits accepted by the traty. However, this wasn't satisfactory as these troops still could not leave the Forgotten Territories. Thus, the military leaders of Angel Fire released their new toys - the Zerg. Arguing the Zerg were not sentient, therefore not citizens, therefore not soldiers and therefore should not be included in the cap. Bloopa, however, took issue with it, and lay charges against the Forgotten Territories as a whole in the regional court. While many within the Forgotten Territories were frustrated at being labelled with the same brush, forgottenlord didn't bother with trying to seperate the individual nations in his defense. After several exchanges between the two, Coretta interjected, siding withthe Forgotten Territories.
The Regional court has not given its final ruling.
