>>30182832/who/ has always been a democracy. But right now the Republic would likely be reluctant to join the Pact. Aside from some reasons raised by other anons opposing the pact's requirements (that it should have more to do with religion rather than "meta" reasons), there's also geopolitical concerns and thread relations. The indie continent is one of our biggest markets, depends on the history of /vsj/, the traditional wisdom could be to limit it's growth and influence as much as possible. The rise of /vsj/ may also threaten already profitable and friendly relations with indie countries like /vrt/. /who/ the thread also doesn't really want anything to do with /vsj/ especially when there are catalogfags that occasionally come in and post bait. Thus far there's also no interaction between Mumei and any /vsj/ streamers. Both of these factors combined, I'm not sure what the relationship would be. It would have to depend on how /vsj/'s lore and history ultimately end up and some deliberation between hoomans who are involved in this project.
