Because it would be nice for Ixnay to have a war between active players that actually materialises, we need to avoid existential threats. The reason that everyone OOCly pulls out of wars is that the wars are typically bound to end with the loser getting glassed, wholly occupied, or annexed.

We can avoid this by setting some OOC ground rules (e.g. X nation is guaranteed against occupation by Y alliance), by adhering to realism (X nation isn't going to whip out the n00kz and risk incurring M.A.D. over anything less than an existential threat), and by sketching out an outline of how the opening stages of the war will progress.

Here's what I was thinking, but by all means feel free to run your quillpens through it:

1. UIF - KF - Corumm airstrikes in Talion

2. Constantinalia shoots down UIF/KF/Corumm planes, but war is not declared on either side.

3. Measured retaliation by UIF/KF/Corumm, such as raiding Constantinalian shipping.

4. Actual war, which should be concentrated in the Talion Union, as both UIF/Corumm and Constantinalia stand to lose much more from actual confrontation across the Founderswaters than from battling things out in Talion.

I agree that should it come to actual war, it should remain a limited affair. That means no invasion fleets rushing to either side of founderswaters or turning cities into rubble(maybe talion's).

I have absolutely no intention of using nuclear weapons, and with Talion no longer a nuclear power anything short of an invasion of Const. should not provoke a nuclear war. Beyond that, I don't intend to harass shipping routes in founderwaters and potentially clash with a much superior navy, at least not now. But I would take actions such as cutting their trade/military routes in Salesia/Canete area to limit access to TU and potentially work with the Kiravian Federacy for a blockade of Talioon
