the Zoners

[Unseelie]

Moreover, if the Zoners are getting richer, it follows that so are the House corporations, the Houses themselves, and the Pirates.

I don't think the Zoner's getting richer in comparison to their previous state would change their nominal status. I'll even go so far as to argue that it could make them nominally poorer.

The zoners are 77 years old. Houses are older, bigger, richer, and should be able to out produce, and out grow, the zoners in most every possible way. They shouldn't -get- house level militaries, unless the house's military gets wtf pwned. The Zoners, as a peaceful nation, can probably support the size of a military force that Bretonia and Kusari employ, and lose, over and over throughout the war. Every month, a house should be able to produce more than the total zoner military, and you should be able to substitute any other group, excluding the hispanics and the GMG, possibly, for the Zoners. Its not wether they should have cap ships, its whether they can compete with the House production of such.

In short, Houses should out-compete everything, and by miles.


Note: I'm not biased against zoners. I like zoners. Or, I like zoners the way they are/were.
