Phil,
I would have to agree with you in areas/eras of millennia-plus political
stability _on both sides_ - sure, no problem.
How about the Solomani Confederation breaking away from the Third
Imperium, especially among away-from-border areas?
Or between the Daryens and Sword Worlds, especially the Entropic Worlds?
Mnemosyne Principality and Avalari Consulate? (latter was previously a
Zhodani client, now independent but 3I-leaning, IIRC, former still are
Zhodani clients)
Nusku and the Ziru Sirka's holdings in Kushuggi?
The common thread here being some sort of change in the political status
quo antebellum.
