Digging in the vaults I know that a lot of Corsair players at the time had issue with THIS little bit of "lore" given that as it was relayed to me ( and please correct me if im wrong) that Corsair players didn't actually have anything to do with it and it was just kind of presented as a fait acompli and then used to justify Molly hatred of the Corsairs. Given this Ive never been a fan of the "Cork" excuse, however, there it is.
What would the Mollies do if they were independent? They would need to shore up their power base for a start... they are vulnerable and surrounded by powerful enemies or the allies of powerful enemies. They would need to make Alliances and fast. Brettonia would be an obvious one, More revolutionary would be to actually make peace with the Corsairs (though this scenario is highly unlikely). They would need.. depending on the status of the war with Kusari also need to factor Kusari into the equation as well. Perhaps even Liberty to give them some extra safety. Then... an economy, they'd need one... they haz gold and so they would need to start peddling as fast as their ships could take them. Things would be grim after a war, soldiers would need to be stood down, ships decommissioned, families fed etc etc...
Actually, if there ever was an independent Molly nation for real I would love to see "Beer" being a commodity they made that was in high demand and a good trade commodity, that would be pure justice.
