Of course the analogy is approximate - any analogy is bound to be since the Charyans don't know our earth exists, so they can't copy institutions exactly, even if they'd want to. The Charyan emperor developed from something not much more than a powerful supreme general to a divine emperor. Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsarempt
