This is reasonable, but keep in mind that things may very well not be clear cut. For example, there might well be planets where the numbers are something like: 30% want a single party state of the main ideology with surrounding ideologically compatible systems/ 35% want to go back to the Federated Suns or have a Feudal system/ 25% want a multi party democracy with nearby systems of varied ideologies/ 10% want to join the Concordat or Confederation. Additionally, ORDI has a legitimate interest in whatever state or states come out of this being a net positive to our alliance structure rather than simply depending upon us for independance.
It was intended for the picture. Its worth a thousand words after all
Give it time. I'm sure something will have unforeseen consequences that surprises us in a vexing manner.
that is how games work yes
This would cost around 10-18 influence to implement.This is reasonable, but keep in mind that things may very well not be clear cut.

This is my best effort at creating that mixed system.
[x] Attempted equity
-[x] Two new polities, the Federation of Autonomous Systems (FIS/purple) which is set up to be a three way balancing act between various flavors of Marxists, Sin Seada and various unaligned groups. Designed to be a loose group of systems that compromises a lot. Then you have the United Rimward Collective (URC/blue), Which is a mix of the Maoists, the Jacobinists and a smattering of neutrals and other marxists. They're designed as a more centralized Republic drawing a fair bit of their founding myth from the old UHC, though reinterpreted through a secular lens.

This would cost around 10 influence to implement, but the Taurians will likely draw a hard line on taking control of systems at some point given the economic and political risks involved.
This would cost around 10-15 influence to implement. It's slightly less than the original plan as you're not pushing the Taurians to take extra systems[X] Plan Alternate Equity

A slightly alternate version of Monkeytypewriter's Attempted equity plan. The big issue I had was that it gave up a bunch of not only directly rebel controlled worlds, but ones noted as primary worlds for the sentiments of the rebel ideologies, to the Taurian Concordat, which I could see causing a lot of resentment (particularly Sin Seda, which was slated to give up both of their directly controlled systems, both of which are Notable ones for Sin Seda sentiment.) Specifically Robsart, Mendham, Lothair, and Bruset are part of the FAS in this. Meanwhile, I gave Glentworth and Lochmantle to the Taurians (they wanted them as part of their claims.)
I was considering whether or not we could do something on the case of Flintoft and Diefenbaker, and maybe even the Pleides Cluster (some sort of partition of it), but I'm already asking the Taurians to give up a decentish chunk, so I didn't want to press things too hard. The Pleides Cluster especially would be a huge mess.

How much would change if I had Flintoft and possibly Diefenbaker be part of the FAS instead of Taurian? Flintoft wasn't claimed by the Taurians, but Diefenbaker was.
1-2 more.
Honestly, I think the Capelans are more overstretched than the Taurians at this point.
Yes.
Note: I'm using the CapCon as the example here as they're the closest to the Outback in size and circumstances, and getting to their level of industry is a lower bar than what the Aurigans have currently.
Yeah, probably. Raising the idea is free, though it's not as isolated as it appears thanks to being in JumpShip range of its neighbours.
