E-Army Policy Statement and the Liberation of Belgium

On July 21, the Parliament of Equilism [url="http://www.equilism.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8998"]passed[/url] a new statement of policy for the E-Army. The statement was formulated by the Cabinet and then presented to the region at large for further discussion and voting. This marks the first time since the dissolution of the Commonwealth in Oct. 2006 that military policy has been reunited with civil government, and we are pleased to present the results of this regional decision for the scrutiny of our friends and allies.

E-Army Policy Statement

Equilism and the E-Army are dedicated to the principle of protecting regional sovereignty from those who seek to destroy it for their own gain.

We define regional sovereignty by control over the WFE, activity on the RMB, and the freedom of nations to associate peaceably with each other in the region of their choosing. We have always taken, and will continue to take, measures to protect against breaches of sovereignty.

We also recognize that not every incursion is a breach of sovereignty, since many such acts occur without interrupting any active talk on the RMB, and have little or no effect on the region at all. An incursion that affects an active delegate or an active RMB will be considered a breach of sovereignty. An incursion resulting in the ejection, or ejection and banning of native nations from the region, is still considered the highest crime against regional sovereignty possible, and must always take priority. Total regional destruction is both unacceptable and inexcusable.

To combat these actions, the E-Army will mobilize against incursions of this nature. We will be proactive in preventing them from happening whenever possible by helping the natives refound, or by refounding the region in danger for them. We will strive never again to sit idly by and watch a griefer lock down and empty a region of all natives, while we find ourselves powerless to do anything about it.

However, it is not enough to merely protect what sovereignty is left in the NS world. The E-Army will endeavor to increase the game territory over which sovereignty is exercised. We will reform regions which have fallen to the ravages of inactivity: regions without RMB activity, control over their WFE, or a delegate/founder. Such communities will be nurtured until they can retake their rightful place as sovereign regions, contributing to the NS world.

The E-Army aims to create a reformed and vibrant NS world. What was once dead shall flourish under guidance. The role we will take is alternative to what is currently being practiced. We are neither defender nor raider; we are a Reform Army.


The officers of the E-Army are in the process of formulating a Standard Operating Procedure for refoundings that will protect the sovereignty of natives with the absolute minimum of intrusion. Further information will be made available to those of our friends in the defender world for whom the details of such a policy may be of concern.

In the wake of this statement of policy, the E-Army was privileged to participate, along with the FRA, Texas, Liberty Alliance, and NasiCorps (represented by Goobergunchia) in the most high-profile mission in recent history: the liberation of Belgium.

E-Army High Command was informed that there was a chance to liberate Belgium, which had been under an invisible password for almost 2 months, approximately 13.5 hours before update. Upon reception of the message, E-Army soldiers were notified of an important mission in an undisclosed target region, with less than 12 hours to mobilize. In the end, Equilism provided the largest contingent of troops (8) from a single region, including not only E-Army soldiers, but civilians and reserve members as well. E-Army Chief of Staff Whamabama has [url="http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=314282#p314282"]awarded[/url] all participants a campaign medal (created by Commander Tarricoe) in honor of their contribution.

As we move into a new era of military policy, we are proud to stand alongside traditional defenders, as we always have, in the fight to protect regions from destruction.

In conclusion, we would like to draw your attention to the official statement on the liberation of Belgium, located here: [url="http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=314282#p314282"]http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=314282#p314282[/url] Our thanks and congratulations go out to all of our friends who participated in this historic mission, especially to the FRA for the alert, and to their intel agents whose contributions, though necessarily anonymous, made this victory possible.
