[@Hael]oh the military size thing you brought up earlier, what about nations that don't have a 'military' in the conventional sense?

Each mat controls a fourth of its planet (as a result of the Unifying Pact that forms the basis of my law) and each mat inevitably possess it's own personal defensive forces amoung the critters.  

So as a result I have hundreds of independent militaries, each with a population of... One?
