Let me explain how this goes.
Bishop makes a forum post detailing how we should change a country, and everyone agree reacts and comments saying: "This could really freshen things up!" Some vets recount their fun times on that faction a few years back
Garnet reluctantly agrees, since "this is what the community wants"! He spends dev time updating and changing models, while faction leaders have to update docs and textscreens around the map.
The change finally happens. Everyone is elated over the new models and how fresh everything is. They can have some fresh RP on the server during peacetime!
After 2 weeks, people are back to complaining, and thinking up ideas on how to improve the "stale atmosphere of the server" once again.

This is not me speculating on what I think will happen, This is actually exactly what happened with the RU > AFG switch that happened in 2021. It got changed, and the server is no better because of it. Some even argue worse, because of the lack of real world information we have regarding AFG.
To me, changing models and factions is really a band-aid solution to the issue that many players face, of stale gameplay. So why should we invest in a solution that will make things fresh for two weeks, instead of some real sustenance and content that will invite longevity.
This isn't a personal dig on Bishop either, he just happened to make both suggestions.
