Corsair - Zoner

[Mímir]

I think this idea of total zoner autonomy is nice and all, but it makes it very difficult for non-zoners to navigate - what are the rules of this particular freeport? Who is this particular faction alligned to? What to think of this indie? And so on and so forth.

Some level of unity has to be in place, otherwise it makes it all but impossible for anyone else to properly interact with Zoners, I think that is important to remember. Also the shared ID and IFF/reputation calls for some form of unity, otherwise it will just turn into a "fluff faction" where people can do more or less what they want and then hide under the generic neutral ID and IFF.

EDIT: @Bluespawn: Well a lot of the differing cultural norms in Africa were installed by colonial masters with different views. Like the whole Hutu / tutsi divide, which was installed by Belgian Christian Missionaries of the belief that the Tutsi were the lost 13th tribe from the bible, and the Hutu as not having a soul at all. So in a "primordial view", Africa might not be so full of conflict and contradictions.
