I disagree with the notion that 'everyone' is sitting inactive doing nothing. The majority definitely are, but there are some factions who persistent will to fight is self evident.
There are so many factions sat around with 5k+ troops in every single fief yet they do nothing. Factions who sit on 30k+ troops and yet show almost no sign of ever launching attacks on oen another.
Here are the numbers, this should prove beyond doubt that half of EU is a fucking embarrassment.
