None wants to admit to being affiliated with
Quebecois.  And for someone to run a Newfie planet, we
might find someone after the Newfies get electricity

Sikhs aren't slightly silly.  They run their own
chunks of of the Indian subcontinent for many-many
years before the Brits showed up.  They're running an
active guerilla war trying to throw the Indians out of
the Punjab.  And they can actually fight, unlike most
of the third-rate principalities the Brits kicked
over.

There's a reference in a Cyberpunk supplement (one of
the Chromebooks) to the "Holy Order of the Perpetual
Railgun."  Kid you not.
