It is because the Empire of Valcouria does not recognise that it is weaker than it believes to be.
The Grand Duke's country is very weak, yet the Grand Duke may be fit to carry out his responsibilities, whatever they may be, despite being vassalised.
OOC: You were right, to an extent:
"De jure, anything.
De facto, eh ... not a lot, because the Empire doesn't much care about demanding anything from its vassals."
Even if the Empire's power is ebbing, for whatever reason the British care to think, this pales in comparison to the threat that was mentioned earlier, sir.
The fact that you were unable to stand up against the American Juche Council shows your weakness. Whilst it is my belief that you should remain Minister, it does not do well to not take responsibility for one's failings.
The solution is simple: choose your battles with more care, King-Emperor.
OOC: Did Arawn ever go against the Despot?
UNFORTUNATE.
(To the Grand Duke) COULD HE?
WORTHY ADVICE.
If I may make a proposal, my fellow Ministers, to restore the war back into reality…
-Nani takes Thrasz from Valcouria, but he gets to send in as many men as he likes to take it back. As for the civilians, some got killed resisting, many are captured, but some are still resisting.
-Kerauia and Lolitan: Multi-million invasion force going to invade both. They will be retroactively RP’d by the GA and Nani and her allies with no restrictions bar the standard no-nukes rule, no reports of instant-victory, and anything else that can be thought of and agreed upon by all parties.
-America: In the interest of neutrality, I will not comment upon my own nation.
-Hadian: Valcouria is outnumbered, but he will get to fight it out against his enemies.
No, for I believe that if I was ever to be vassalized, Naniyyolia will strip me of as much power as it possibly could, since according to Britain's definition of a dictator, dicatators are imperialist and intend to take as much power as possible. Therefore, I do not wish to see myself vassalized.
As long as anyone attempts to create chaos in the unity of the region, the Empire will be there to ensure that order and stability are restored.
The Grand Duke preaches unto everyone in the international community about monopolising power and granting it to the highest echelon of society, yet he was weak and lost power to his own advisers following his father's death. He was unable to purge his Government of all those unfit, corrupt individuals who led to the sorry state that his nation finds itself in today. And even now how is unfit as a diplomat and statesman to rule with competence over the State of America. Yet it is not for me to question the Despot's decision to elect him as Minister, for my role is to obey and wage war.
OOC: If by "go against the Despot", you mean attempt to spread a plague of Undeath to the far corners of the region, including The Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania, for the purposes of subjugating everyone and everything to his will, in an effort to satisfy his desire for universal worship and obedience, then yes. If you meant something else, then no; although, I do feel inclined to mention that the Despot seemed to appreciate the zombie virus's potential for life extension.
If you cannot defend yourself, then you are weak.
Valete, amici. I have other places to bless.
OOC: Then the answer is no.
I will regain my former power one day, Minister of War. For now, I am biding my time until a good time is now. In addition, as for those traitorous individuals, I could not detect their treachery before I lost power. That I will admit, and is something that I sorely regret. However, there was no way for me to detect treachery; I am not omnipotent.
We seek a new World Order, one where nation states do not get piled by the Grand Alliance, and Hadian has its national integrity restored. Hadian is a very totalitarian nation, may I add, one that won an award from the Despot months earlier.
And yet your Silverwood Alliance will not become the second Grand Alliance? Only a fool would believe that will not happen. As for Hadian, if I may speak the truth, Valcouria is highly outnumbered; he will need a miracle to pull off a victory.
OOC: I suppose you could consider his attempt to seize control of the minds and bodies of everyone in the Despotic Dictatorship of Despoticania to be some kind of invasion, although the Despot didn't really put up any resistance whatsoever.
Very good, Your Holiness. Peace be with you.
So, a world order that you yourself can control, hmm? You and your cadre of allies, all doing the bidding of Naniyyolia, I presume?
And with your spirit.
A fairer Society, one that is not as flawed as the one we have at the moment.
A fairer society? Or one where you have more power and influence? Tell us, which one? And what do you mean by fairer?
America will not remain to even a tenth of its former power at this rate, ever. If you were not able to detect the content of their hearts, then you are not very qualified for the role of head of state, Minister of Totalitarian Spirits.
