Proposal: Expand Your Borders #2 (trivial)

Amendment of 'Expand Your Borders' in Rule 11 will be altered to read:

A System without a Representative can be assimilated into the Council by being conquered by a represented System or by being chosen by a free agent or new member to become their Representative.

Conquering:

In order for a represented System to conquer unrepresented Systems, the current Representative must have access to a fleet large enough to successfully attack/capture the other System. If the unrepresented System has a defense fleet then a war will ensue between the two powers.

Once a Representative has obtained a fleet required, they must then notify the Council of their intentions by posting a Council Proposal and wait until he or she has gained approval before they takeover a System. A Representative may not expand into an already represented system unless a war or compromise results.

The Representative must then take into account the assimilated System's budget preferences. The assimilated System might also contain one infastructure, chosen by the Speaker. The size of the original system also changes to include the new territory: S+S=M, S+M=L, M+M=XL or L+S, L+L=3XL, L+M=2XL. (In other words S=1, M=2, L=3, XL=4, etc.)

A few after thoughts. By the time we amass a large enough fleet our technology should be to the point that we don't need the other expenses in the my last proposal. The only cost is the aftermath.

Failed by Kevan, 3rd Dec : +2 to Kevan, -5 to Keitalia.
