Using the word independent as a synonym of non-align makes it confusing, given the additional use of the term Independence.

"Non-aligned" militaries like ours and TEP's function identically to Independent militaries but don't call them such. As such I use the terminology small i and large I independence.

The difference is that one has "political connotations".

Not everyone voting here knows that, or really understands what the difference is.. Hence why it would be better to keep it simple: Independent and Non-aligned, without the small-i one.

And no, our military is not like Independent militaries.

Eh, I would choose Defender or Non-Aligned for our regional position, fwiw. Defender for our military, if we just had to have one.

I would never support TSP being raider or imperialist, and I would leave in a heartbeat if that were to ever happen. If TSP, for some godawful reason, chose to formally re-adopt Independence, I would fight to death to kill it again.

Independent militaries raid, unless there is a very specific reason to defend. It is not the same as what our military is supposed to do, which is raid and defend with regularity.

I choose Defender which is pretty obvious.

It was proven pretty clearly that "Independent" was a false option so I'm not sure why it's there. Then, there's "non-aligned" which, if we have allies at all, is also a false option.

If someone has better choice of terminology, feel free to suggest it.
