Freedom of navigation (FON) is a principle of law of the sea that ships flying the flag of any sovereign state shall not suffer interference from other states, apart from the exceptions provided for in international law. In the realm of international law, it has been defined as “freedom of movement for vessels, freedom to enter ports and to make use of plant and docks, to load and unload goods and to transport goods and passengers". This right is now also codified as Article 87(1)a of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

exercising my right to 'Freedom of Navigation' from having a strong navy.

Good work! Out of the 1,634 active nations capable of attacking you, you have 181.05% more than the average number of Ships (80). 

A strong navy underpins keeping ports and seas open and free for trade as part of our national policy. Our navy can also deny freedom of navigation through blockade.

Our leader likes doing Royal Regattas to review his naval ships

And meanwhile Luna doesn't even have a navy anymore... (it was all destroyed, along with the air force and most of the ground forces)
