Once the war ends, yes we do. Why would we keep an embargo after the war ends?

Quote:Since Liberty is a direct rip of the USA

I've actually heard something different to that, and after thinking about it a while, I agree with it. That is, Liberty is not only a rip of the USA, but the logical advancement of capitalism. Therefore, Liberty is what America may become if it distills its economic agenda further, but still follows the concepts that America is following. You've a planet full of the proletariat (Houston), many of which struggle with balancing their incomes with the cost of health insurance, schooling for their children and so on. You've a large squatting population on another major planet, representing those who simply don't have the means to live anymore, and you've a police crackdown on them in the interests of those who do have the means. Essentially you have the freedom to be free only if you have the money to pay for things. These are problems in America today, but if Primary Schools were subject to fees of modern Universities? Things could be a lot worse, and in Liberty, they are.

Essentially, my view is that Liberty has barely any public services now, and has a massive class divide as a result. Even the police force is a private enterprise, outsourced to the lowest bidder (because that's how you bid for contracts). The only public service I can think of is the Armed Forces and Intelligence service. Healthcare, schooling, emergency services, utilities, public transport, all private. And Liberty is the result of this.

Liberty requires someone who understands all the facets of the fictitious nation, someone calm, reasonable and always looking for cooperation rather than domination. Someone who finds the day-to-day of Liberty stimulating, rather than the thought of introducing radical concepts into entrenched, deep-seated capitalism.

I'd say that the person who described the above to me would be fit for the job, but he's busy leading [LN].
