Re: FT Political Geography

	I really don't think that things will be as neat as Schoons map.
It might
fit for major areas of control but I think within those you are likely
to
find bubbles (pockets, ballons, sectors etc..) of space controled by
another power or even a small nation like, heaven forbid, the Irish :).
An
area might be nominally ESU space, but there might be 3 or 4 systems
that
were under NAC control. A nice point to form up a fleet for a deep
strike
into enemy territory. The map for the expansion campaign has a lot room
for
overlapping areas of control. Such areas make for high tensions and lots
of
combat.
	Thats my 2 cents worth.
