this is incredibly cool. I love making the world more alive and dynamic, however to that extent, I'm curious if you want to move somewhat beyond the bounds of M&B- we're talking a shattered highly advanced society after all- I can totally see like the church or pirates engaging in feudalism(but the church may also lean towards a more theocratic version of a state), but I'd also love to see an expressly capitalist company hierarchy for say tri-tach, or a more dictatorship esq style of government for the diktat- I'm also curious how this plays with something like strategic AI that provides more intelligence to factions, and AOTD where technological progress and like the commision expansion works
(personally I am forever in love with the star federation, and cannot seem to tear myself away, but lords definitely wouldn't fit there- maybe like elected governors or something? IDK, and I don't actually 100% know how that government works)
I think the league would be particularly interesting for it's own style of government, since it's collection of individual enities but is controlled by one person more or less - one cool thing to see would be in factions that don't have landed nobility for unelected/out of the loop politicans and so on drifing around looking for a chance to get back in power- it would be very cool to say depose someone in power in exchange for helping someone more favorable to you into the seat
