Sorry again, I have been working on a farm this morning so sorry for the late response.
As i said before I am an Internal Affairs kind of guy, I don't tend to get into any Foreign Affairs, however I will do my best to explain what it means to be to look after the little guy and how we will deal with troublemakers.

When PP just started I was a little guy, all on my own. I didn't have all these player groups that were already in place. So when I was asked by a now good friend of mine to help him administrate a new format for talking with the PP players I jumped at the opportunity to help out in the expanding universe. In becoming a co-owner of this new format I was able to have some new friends and contacts in the bigger player groups. it wasn't until the second week of PP did I have a really awesome idea to help boost the fighting capabilities of my power. So I brought up the idea of FOO (Forward Operating Outpost), to one of the bigger groups in our power. They subsequently laughed me off and called me insane. I too was disenfranchised, feeling that my ideas were stupid and didn't have a place. Two weeks later that same group proposes the idea of a FOO and calls the idea their own. Their FOO didn't work for a lot of reasons but mostly because it was too close to the action (when i proposed the idea the system in question wasn't too close to any of the systems owned by any of the other powers). I felt disenfranchised all through out the PP until I found Pileus Libretas and I found a group of people that help each other and encourage free thinking without laughing in your face. Yes we do have arguments sometimes, and yes we do get mad but we know that each of us has their own worth in the Co-operative. Its a shame I didn't know about making coalitions until after the games themselves started (I had finals and school stuff). Otherwise I would hold out a hand of peace and co-operation to each and every group in this fight for popularity and form a Coalition. Because the only way for a bunch of little guys to have any influence with the Big boys is to come together.
Don't get me wrong I am not a peace loving hippie. I usually only make the offer of peace once, if you spit in my face you're written off completely. However I am not unreasonable, if someone simple refuses without spitting in my face I always keep the hand of peace open if they want to take it. I am not blood thirsty. I do not have noble visions. But I can empathize with the little guys, and I am at their side if they need me to be.
For trouble makers we would undermine anyone that spits in our face and tells us how insignificant we are compared to them. It is true that we have low numbers but our hearts are bigger and contain more fire than a group with a lot of members. Large groups get to hide their cowards, small groups cannot afford to have any cowards. Everyone in the Co-operative is a fighter. There is even a militant and blood thirsty group in the Co-operative known only as the Vindictae, who use deception and murder to achieve their goals. They would most likely be the group lore wise that would be undermining trouble makers. They don’t have a seat on the council but their power and immoral tactics make them a force that drives the militant parts of the Co-operative.
