True enough, but lots of flavour there, and easy inspiration for lots of
small actions, border wars, and other fun. Canada vs the Chicago
Imperium,
or Vegas Free State-registered mercs vs anyone!

In terms of background, 'Friday' is probably the most original book
Heinlein ever wrote. Too bad he couldn't get anyone but his 'stock'
characters to people it with... I've always thought it would make an
awesome cyberpunk/near-future RPG setting.
