    When a state is annexed, the people who will lose out the most will be the people who own property which is enforced through the laws of that state. Dying to protect greedy bastard’s property from other greedy bastard is not in my interest. The greedy bastards can send themselves and their own family to protect their property.

      Well, also the people that are suddenly drafted to fight will lose a lot. For a lot of people it’s a question to choose between:

      • Do I fight for my country (that I don’t necessary align with)
      • Do I wait until the enemy gets here and drafts me to fight for him

      And while the first option is not great, the second one sounds a lot worse.
