[[NotSoDifferent For the Free Market, rank in the army is literally determined by how much stock you own in the company, so high ranking officers likewise tend to be wealthy individuals themselves.]]

* InherentInTheSystem: Dhuvalia has a long history of patriotism and pride in their war winning streak - which means they refuse to back down from a war they could easily negotiate their way out of, and would rather deploy ''untested'' biowarfare weapons ''on their own country'' than lose a single war. The officer who promoted the idea as a tactical ''option'' is left as the potential scapegoat for the fallout, unable to protest publicly against her own retrospectively-bad idea because her influence is limited by gender.

They have free reign to shoot on sight, or sue you into IndenturedServitude, or fleece you of everything you own and then some. This is how a megacorporation gets away with starting an international incident by waging a private war against an entire state; the state's diplomat trespassed first with apparent hostile intent. This comes from the only cultural tradition that the early colonies could collectively agree on: '''Stay on your own property'''.
