Yep, that's Bondrewd. Not a very pleasant chap, who is ironically exceedingly polite, never loses his temper and can be strangely affectionate. He's not so much "evil", it's just that he's so unhinged that any and all ethics have gone out the window. He's literally oblivious to the fact he's...

Not exactly an oscar winner if memory serves.

They are fledgling empires in the process of expansion. There is no one else in old America who can project power like that.

If anything, the big boys of post war America are undoubtedly the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion (to a certain extent with the latter. But even they are stronger than the shattered remains of the Enclave). The Brotherhood is often overshadowed at best by them, if not playing second...

Granted, if Kaiju films were at all reasonable, Godzilla would literally disappear in the miniature sun of a nuclear detonation instead of drawing strength from it.

Speaking of Prince John, it's often forgotten that the reason he put the taxes up is because Richard has bankrupted the country thanks to his endless wars and foreign adventures. You've got to refill the treasury's coffers from somewhere. Granted, IRL, oh no, Bad King John did everything wrong.

I just wanted to make a point about how it's a dog eat dog universe, mankind needs the shiny, and the RDA were far more restrained than they had to be. Wasn't expecting Megadeath to call me an despicable person for pointing out how the world works, but every day is an adventure on the internet.

Not to mention that we really need that stuff. It's a superconductor for energy that is essential to space travel, without which we're stuffed.

They aren't usually being inherently immoral either. Conquest happens, it is in our nature. And as far as conquerors go, the RDA were being unbelievably restrained. We've been there for decades by the time Sully shows up, and we're still trying to do diplomacy. How do you think a spacefaring...

Too bad. Unobtanium is essential to human space travel, without which our civilisation is in serious trouble. That aside, the Na'vi have something we want, they won't deal, and they are primitive. Law of empires comes into effect here, which is default geopolitics alas. If the Na'vi were...

Scolar Visari, Autarch of the Helghan Empire. A man who gave hope to a people without it.
