Corsair - Zoner

[Linkus]

Oh, tempting tempting tempting, but... Political? Naaaah.

That's kind of how it happened actually, but on a much smaller scale, of course. Different ethnic groups being thrusted into countries with artificial borders, left over from previous colonist regimes. Of course the said colonists didn't care all that much which ethnic groups they had under one roof before colonialism collapsed.

After the said collapse though, the artificial borders stayed and the centralisition as well. The result? War. Civil war. Call it what you like. Several groups fighting amongst each other for one centralised seat of power.

Similar to current situation.

It has been 20 years since the Zoner infocards were accurate.
It has been 20 years of growth for nearly all powers around the Zoners.
THe more strain you put on the Zoners, the more they will either unify or divide, that is how human society works, even at a basic family level. You force people to take sides.
It has been 20 years of that pressure, that strain, building up on the Zoners.
They unified initially, then it fell apart.
Without any strong unification movement, the Zoners will, and should, become ever more divided.

20 years is a long time folks.
Families can fall apart in weeks.
