If you're going to be bad, you might as well be very very bad.

But why, I wonder, are there no sanctions for planet-busting? Santiago hit a grotty little hive base in Garland Crater (now a lake) and I'm still trading quite happily with her.

Morgan, understandably miffed by Yang's actions, nerve-gassed him back. 123 years of sanctions to go, but he still voted for a trade pact. No, really. I don't believe it either.

There doesn't seem to be any point keeping the UN charter in this game. I might as well try to repeal it, so I can at least keep trading with my allies.
