The BD law page came around a time when a regions major unlawful or house independent playerfaction was fortifying their RP through law pages or a codex etc.
The law page was nuked later on and became infinitely WIP and under re-construction.
Now to my - of course totally biased and full of conspiracy against BD, Nerva - opinion about a claim on Northern Kusari (Sorry but the name implies just this, no matter how much you aim to represent this inRP, it clings to the name and will be interpreted as such by people)
I could see BD re-establish a law codex and lay claim on the whole of Kusari with 3 categories: Uncontested, directly contested, under enemy occupation or something along this line. I could not see BD, a united or Clan one, to lay claim to just a part of Kusari and thus effectively picture themselves as a splinter state similar to the Insurgency (they still claim all of Liberty though) or the Mollys. Personally, I see the possibility that he in-lore existing, obviously part of the opposition, political support of the Blood Dragons ultimately suffering from such a decision. Doesn't have to happen but it would make sense to me, at least when your aim is to focus on establishing an actual new state.
Also, while I can understand your reaction to Shiki and co., unfortunately you always tend to end up calling out how ultimately horrible and pathetic this community is and idk but I feel like you try to exclude yourself on purpose from it too in a way, no offense.
A fair assessment. Yes, I'm amongst that pathetic number, as I'm still around, I've never discounted that fact. I'm just tired of people doing as I aforementioned above.
The name is to represent our current holdings. Our claims extend further than that, the whole of Kusari one might imagine. I had planned on making a lengthy propaganda post of 'The Promises we offer to Kusari', which detail our goals and intent towards a better Kusari. Such things include but are not limited to the disbandment of the Kieretsu, the formation of nationalised entities, who answer directly to the government, thus preventing another Sakura Coup and the support of the Chrysanthemum cause, who at their core are fighting for equality of Kusarians. (We'll leave their extremist Matriarchy stuff out, that's not good for business.) Organisations such as the GMG and IMG, would be our primary trade partners, whom exist separate to the state and have no authority within, they are 'foreign corporations', but are allowed to keep their holdings for the sake of a functioning economy. A nation that is nationalised still has to trade at the end of the day.
Ultimately, we're still a Military Rebel group, not a functioning government. While we use titles reminiscent of that of a Government, we're not one. We're not a micro-house. We're just a bunch of rebels thinking we have legitimacy and a right to overthrow what we view as a corrupt government to bring about our vision of a better Kusari.
IF our goals were realised, then the true extent of our 'alliances' would be revealed. Would we remain allied to the Chrysanthemums? No! Would we remain allies to the Coalition? Would we heck! Would we continue to work with pirates? NO! All of these are but contingencies to build up our might, to survive the numerous foes we have and to succeed in our goals
When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.
