Everyone seem to believe the Gallente are up in arms about this turn of events.
Protip: we're not.
The Minmatar are, and will always be, our allies. We recognize the right of every individual to choose how they wish to live, even if they decide democracy is not that choice.
There are Minmatar right now in the Federation, living their lives in peace and happiness under our umbrella. And any who find the new system not to their liking are welcome to join their friends here, with us. Just as any Amarr or Caldari are also welcome to come to us for supplication.
However rocky things are between the Federation and the Republic right now, we're glad they've finally decided to make their own stand in the world. Sometimes it is best to realize that your way of life is not effective outside of your own borders, and to let others go their own way.
So long as the new Republic continues to serve the interests of the Minmatar people, and their Gallente friends and allies, we will continue to have a peaceful, prosperous relationship.
Also, Amarr keep slaves. And that's just absurd. |

The warmongers who wrongfully sought to persecute the Caldari people were as fringe as the Caldari terrorists who committed atrocities leading to the war. Neither need be mentioned now. |

We have the Khanid, Ni Kunni, Ealur, and the Ammatar living peacefully within the Empire. That is four races who have accepted our way of life. Granted there was major conflict with the Minmatar and lesser conflict with the Khanid. However the Ni Kunni and Ealur have never revolted or resisted the Amarr rule.
Also the Gallente are notorious for "pushing their ways" on others. They are hostile and intolerant to closed societies, ignorant or unaccepting of the deep cultural difference that have developed the modern political systems. The Caldari are the prime example. A people who developed a tradition, culture, and religion based on hard work, perseverance, and testing oneself. Yet when they decided that the Federation did not allow them to hold to these ideals and their own state had to be formed, the Gallenteans tore them from their home world at gunpoint.
Now the Minmatar are developing into a more closed society based on tribal law and progression, not free elections. The future will be interesting.
Keep in mind that, just because we believe in progress and understanding, we do not usually resort to force in order to solve our disputes. Hundreds of years of stable democracy can attest to that.
The Caldari-Gallente War was started with violent acts from the Caldari, which certain elements within our government responded to. Yes, I believe the response was the incorrect one, but we did not immediately resort to violence, and many within the Federation wished to sue for peace immediately. The current war is another example of elements within the State using violence to achieve an end. I don't subscribe to the belief that Tibus Heth is representative of your people (he was ran out of office for crying out loud) just as I hope you don't believe that people like Alexander Noir represent mine. |

I am not Caldari, I was simply citing their strife as an example... I am True Amarr of the blood of Old Athra, and a Holder of the Lower Houses.
Also your "hundreds of years of stable democracy" pales in comparison to the over 15,000 years of imperial succession.
Apologies, I meant no offense.
And this isn't a time to compare how long our respective governments have held sway over our people. There have been rough patches for both, after all. Your Chamberlain was in league with the Blood Raiders and tried to usurp the Empress, while our president Foiritan was impeached after his failure to stand up to the terror that was Tibus Heath.
Neither were the proudest moments of our histories, but they should also not be used by others to define who we are.

As far as I know the Minmatar let their individual tribal elders choose the chief of a given tribe. |
