Also, I asked McMasterdonia (TNP MoFA) about his thoughts regarding TSP going defender, because it's been brought up that we don't know how allies will respond. This is his official response:

Quote:We recognise that The South Pacific has been functionally speaking a “defender leaning” region for sometime. If TSP formally changes its alignment to defender, we will not change our approach with our oldest ally. Our commitment to our relationship will still be as strong as it was before and our cooperation will remain functionally constant.
