I am being completely serious when I say, in this thread, the pinnacle of quality, on-topic and relevant posting, that you're no doubt lying again right here. I mean, what kind of person uses resources they've got available to their advantage? Surely you won't catching anybody on the other side of this war having anything to do with the entire other side of the map like that*.
*especially not Occitan
We don't have the EU resources to spare for this (Well, especially at the time when the UIF was not half-banned senseless), to be perfectly honest, insignificant NA squabble.
There is no advantage in funneling EU resources into NA considering the very nature of NA, what advantage would that be, again, precisely? Taking troops away from an important warfront that is protecting the core of the Coalition and her allies and protecting important trade routes and armories, and send them away to some remote little outpost that is out in the middle of nowhere... Why? I'm not seeing the advantage considering we are looking at the grand picture and not the little focused part on this wee bit of a mudball that the NA side is on.
The NA side's mission focus is a whole different animal, sorry, we are out to have fun, and no one on NA is particularly close to the importance of UIF for 'priority targets' considering we don't exactly have grudges with any of you nor any particular incentive to kill you off due to you 'meddling with our evil plans' (Mainly due to no one in NA actually meddling with any plans) *cue evil mustache twirl here* <3
If we lose the NA side, the Coalition is not really weakened, and the NA troops and resources will be diverted towards the secondary mission. Nothing of value will be lost, and in the mean time we will just enjoy ourselves, roasting our marshmallows and gleefully slaughtering everyone who throws themselves at our walls, soaking up the stress-free, easy and abundant experience until you get bored or we die. *shrugs*
So, to Canary and her wonderful brothers and sisters, and to everyone else who wants us dead in the lands of NA, here is to you wonderful fellows for keeping Strategus interesting! Hopefully we can meet you on the battlefield soon again! Because... Well... Peace is boring.
TL:DR version
NA is fun, relaxing, joyously full of bloodthirsty neighbors who just want to kill things (I'll drink to that!). EU on the other hand is full of a particularly deadly and organized large front who wants to actually dominate the entire map and has the means to do so unless checked. Which is more important and thus a threat instead of idle random fun?
