C'tis may not pose a threat now, but think about if they put up Wild Hunt. Does Sauromatia have the peace to simply research to the top of the food chain? No, and neither should C'tis, though that is what is happening.
And since people are so worried about Sauromatia, perhaps we can deal with it when we're finished with C'tis.
(about T'ien Chi, they try to ignore all of my messages to them, which I think is rather strange)
