Talk:Academy City/@comment-3969505-20140726090043

Doesn't academy city puts the country of japan (with whom they share inner borders) at risk of war by proxy ? or alternatively will force Japan to occupy them in turn ?, sure they are independent-city-state and all, but their leadership got an incredibly aggressive, unreasonable foreign policy/agenda with the military quantity/quality might to project it effectively, the only reason none of that happened so far is because biting them back will either result in loss or will be too phyric a "victory" for the retaliatory parties to really try, can you imagine if in our world the Vatican were (and had the resources/tech for it) to directly and openly condut all kinds of bloody destructive, "military" terrorist attacks against territories (and countries) outside of it's independent city-state ? either Italy will be forced to respond and correct that issue or Italy will be damaged by proxy from the retaliating countries.

it's kinda ridiculous.

Imagine if the North Korea (with all if it's aggressive agenda but with a far far far better military tech and stuff) was an independant city-state INSIDE South Korea's territory (of course they wouldn't be named like that if that was the case but that's basically the situation with AC and Japan here).

the Alpha World is not too far from a plausible consequence for AC+Japan, especially if they don't have all that ultra-superior army tech and stuff or cannot rely on it any longer to give them such an steamrolling advantage in any engagement.

it wouldn't surprise me if AC just for a scenario like this has an additional "insurance policy" in the form of a Killer-Satelite or a network of orbiting sats like that, similar to the ones from G.I.Joe-2 movie (Cobra's Zeus Sat) or the Ion Cannon (C&C:Tiberium videogames)
