We actually tried to invade BN once. Invasion failed and caused a lot of bad
feeling all around. We had invasions here before - it always leads to bad
tempers IMO and feelings of unsportsmanlike conduct. There's often protections
in Agora for that, right now it's through Festivals.
That said, cross-nomic in itself isn't bad. Here's a flash from the past (there
was a whole rules section about this):
Rule 2185/0 (Power=1)
Foreign Relations
Recognition is a foreign nomic switch, tracked by the
Ambassador, with values Unknown (default), Protected, Friendly,
Neutral, Sanctioned, Hostile, and Abandoned.
When a foreign nomic becomes a Protectorate, its Recognition
becomes Protected. When a foreign nomic ceases to be a
Protectorate, its Recognition becomes Unknown. A foreign
nomic's Recognition CANNOT change to or from Protected in any
other way.
The Ambassador CAN, without objection, flip a foreign nomic's
Recognition to any value (subject to the above restriction). E
SHALL inform that nomic of the change as soon as possible.
