The infamous Lagashi incident comes to mind in which Lagash adopted capitalism and was going to leave the alliance, however the new government was ruthless ousted and the Lagash population quickly suppressed when the second Brezhnekov dispatched the Whittier armed forces to Lagash to force that nation back into the alliance. Estimates ranged that at least 400 people were killed the crushing of the Lagash democratic movement. A new communist and Whittier freindly regime was installed. "}

It kind of reminds me of the Warsaw Pact. Except, obviously, the Soviet Union isn't the one running things. No offense, but I think this whole 'pact' is a bunch of b.s.
