What you fail to understand is that no one expects you to do anything but support Enweil.
I'm not even on BT, and I can tell you that any Chénier-led secession, for at least the next couple of years, will be assumed to be an ally of Enweil's, despite its being a secession *from* Enweil.
Riombara, for instance, would know without a doubt that if they wrote to you, they'd be told that they're a bunch of imperialist pigs who should bugger off, and bugger a goat, too. They might be wrong, but they'd still know it.
They should nonetheless try. They might have been surprised. Considering the strategic importance of being proved wrong, I'd have figured it'd be worth a try. It would also be wrong to assume that all realms of that bloc are viewed the same way.
