@jemejj Hey! Thanks! Believe it or not, this is based on a true story. The first part does have a lot of intrigue and political jockeying among the generals, but it doesn't take them long to get so paranoid that they're constantly on the point of turning on each other. I did have a lot of fun with the setting though. The Moiarchy is basically run like a single, large, publicly traded company. :)

@JAPartridge  You are quite welcome. i have been enjoying the story although it seemed a little slow to get rolling. You have an interesting premise there, war based on costs rather tha the usual 'my dick is bigger tha your dick'.
