It is morale, not moral. Different words and meanings.
Yet it is you who fail to read, or more accurately, fail to comprehend.
A federation is a joining of realms under a common banner. Think of it as an empire or a kingdom with joint crowns.
Let us use the United Kingdom for instance. Your realm is England. You are in a federation with Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. At some point, France decides to invade Scotland and they either annex it or drive it all into a state of anarchy. How do you think the common citizens of the rest of the federation will feel if England just sat back and LET it happen?
I would say morale would suffer, and rightly so.
Nope you're the one who's not comprehending. Let me use your analogy so you finally get the point.
England didnt' like Scotland. England wanted Scotland kicked out of the federation in the first place. Scottland gets invaded sacked what have you, and England is still mad that they're allied with Scottland. Do you get it? England is mad about
AN ALLIANCE WITH A REALM THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
THE DESTRUCTION OF SAID REALM DOESN'T HURT MORAL IN FACT IF ANYTHING THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY BECAUSE THEY HATE THAT REALM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Is there any ambiguity here? Seriously if you still think this has anything to do with a morale drop caused by a realm in a federation dieing read this all again because YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A GAME MECHANIC THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
DOES NOT EXIST. Let me just repeat this a few times, IF A REALM IN A FEDERATION IS DESTROYED IT DOES NOT EFFECT MORAL IN THE REST OF THE FEDERATION. IF A REALM IN A FEDERATION IS DESTROYED IT DOES NOT EFFECT MORAL IN THE REST OF THE FEDERATION. IF A REALM IN A FEDERATION IS DESTROYED IT DOES NOT EFFECT MORAL IN THE REST OF THE FEDERATION.
However if your realm hated that member to begin with, they will go on hating that realm even after it's dead. In fact in this case the entire geographical area of that realm became a new realm and was thus neutral to us. So functionally we had no diplomatic relations with them. Here's an analogy
In Great Britian, the people of England hate Scottland and are mad that there's an alliance with them. Scottland is dissolved and declares itself Williamwallacistan. Because Williamwallacistan is a new country England has no alliance with them.
So how should the peasants feel now? Should they still be mad about the alliance with Scottland? Erm, no, because functionally they just got exactly what they wanted.
