>>>There are a lot of similarities between lookshy and sparta (one
of the major reasons i'm looking forward to getting the new book) i'm
curious as to whether the book will paint the realm as the persian
empire.<<<

I try not to map moral weight onto the specific conflicts of the
game, or to map them onto real-world conflicts. People bring their
own real-world baggage to the game setting (c.f. kewl rebelz) and
making value judgements different than theirs would basically
alienate them from the game. I think the archetype of the valiant
few against the mighty many is a story that can be told and retold
from both sides, and I try to give everyone room to do their version
of it.

But! There are certainly enough Persian administrative trappings for
you to do this if you want to; they have a similar cash-or-kind
satrapial remittance system and their secret police are organized
somewhat similarly. They have a similar artificial centralized
language. Obviously there's other stuff, like Mameluke land
ownership systems and a fiat currency that's strictly modern capital
theory based. However, there's plenty of Persia in there.
