So, they are a cross between a major 'Nation' and a multi-national
Mega-Corporation?  Just as prone (since they are run by human
'citizens')
to myopic and self-serving viewpoints?	Just as prone to 'us versus
them'
?  Just as jingoistic and 'goal' or 'objective' oriented as the rest of
the 'nations' were/are/will always be?	Just as likely to have policies
that are self-justifying (even wrapped in high-principles language
("Manifest destiny" anyone?) and 'the good of the whole" viewpoint?

So, Jon was right.  There are no 'good guys' in the GZG-Universe!
