What if Gallia?

[Crackling]

And it led to huge progress-gap comparing to other countries.

And notice how Gallia is no longer in isolation. Big wow!

People kinda forget that they have Kusari and Rheinland as trade allies. They are also gathering ores from the taus. Between the taus and trading with two other houses, they are pretty well off at this point. There's also a big difference between a modern day country and a galactic house with multiple planets. Things kinda work differently with different scales. I only brought up Japan as a reference that it's a thing that happens, not a direct comparison.

Gallia was in isolation, without connection to other Houses, and, even if we consider, that it had so much resources, where did it take brains for new technologies? Gallia has much less population, than other Houses, yet it could somehow to develop much more advanced technology.

It's the brainchild of Igiss. He can introduce it however he wants.

That doesn't mean it is ideal...
