Slowly, more and more places are seeing the light. The Empire
will circle the Earth. There will always be problem children, but
they will group together, try something stupid, and either get
slapped down or taken out.
Why is it always the intelligent races that join first? Oh wait…
Heh, the Demons had a good leader, Funky-frogs just figured
it out, and now the Foxes are following suit. The GC group is
far larger than the core, with the leadership being the main
issue. Greed and control seems to be the driving factor.

I posted a reply. I worry I may have mucked up
line length again.
Let me know and I’ll send a new one.

Yeah, I was originally picturing their Council as looking like the
Star Wars Republic (or Imperial) Senate. But I no longer think
it’s THAT big, just way bigger than the old Core and Periphery.
No, I agree, maybe a hundred tops. We never did see a
count on the fringe worlds, but the GC were the ones
with FTL, so it’s hard to say just how many different
species there are. The republic had thousands of members,
which had a lot to do with it’s failure. Both times.
No. But, Yes. It depends on what they mean by ‘Diversity,’ and species’
willingness to abide by the Dominant cultures values.
And Yes I KNOW how that sounds. But I’m thinking as an example, Western Culture.
Either abide by the laws of the land (US, NOT EU) or stay away.
Which is why my Lir don’t often go into Human cities. They see a problem, THEY FIX IT.
(Leftist) Human culture is not compatible with Western values.

What I suspect are the Northern Territories of California are an awful lot
of arid un farmable land (lava beds and steep cliffs).
They are a lot of ranch land and forest land.
I’m guessing the counties that are hoping to become the State of Jefferson.

We’d miss but they’d be happier with Idaho.
The real food producing is farther south in Central Valley.
All five of the landowners of Kern and Fresno Counties might separate.
Not so sure about the working folk.
We’d still have the coastal valleys. And some pretty important
tech centers.
And I rather like the wide variety of culture available
in my bog of DEI steeped, socialist, decadence.
I just heard from the funeral home, my wife’s ashes are ready.
I don’t know if I can do this alone. I’ve only just started doing
housework. Took down the ramp out front, don’t need it anymore.

Amen brother! I’ve wanted to say that often.
