Good point. Maybe we could say "those regions which espouse hateful ideologies, have totalitarian regional governments, and..."? Or we could just replace the use of "totalitarian" altogether-- "those regions which espouse hateful ideologies, oppress their residents against their will, and...". I'm sure there's a more eloquent way to write it.

So I generally like your edits, but this is something that really sticks out to me like a sore thumb. I don’t think we should be authorizing offensive ops (aka first strikes) against regions just because they’re not democracies. That will be very unacceptable to a big cross section of GP, including other defenders, and will just alienate us on both sides. It’s also not something that’s actually feasible without having a full time raider force— there are a lot of “totalitarian” or “oppressive” regions out there, including Osiris, NPO, etc. TSP should stick to defending and doing anti-hate campaigns.

This. Or to rephrase it in a different way: Wouldn't it conflict with the same values we profess to if we then engage in spreading our values by force?
