Think about it.
This presumes that Palpatine permanently died over Endor, and the status of the Deep Core fleets are left ambiguous. As I understand it, Palp's return was disastrous for the longevity of these quasi-states as they squandered much of their remaining military assets first upon the NR, then themselves, and finally being pulled along for the ride with Palaptine's wunderwaffe. Kaine probably had the most to lose, given his realm's previous isolation and the considerable economic capital the PA held (the Jaemus and Yaga Minor shipyards, Muunilist, etc) - not to mention the huge fleets he brought with him there after Endor. I like to imagine that sans Palpatine's return, he would have become more interested in peace with the New Republic insofar as to plug his economic weight back into the wider galactic market.
The Republic for their part would want to impose some terms of their own I'm sure. Abolishment of slavery as an institution is an obvious and reasonable demand. But I'm curious if they would have considered peace offers given how, generally, the momentum of the GCW remained on their side. Or they may also just wait for some of these warlord fiefdoms to collapse, given their inherent illegitimacy and lack of soft power.
I think it would be a very interesting "what if" given how ideologically opposed the NR was to them, even in spite of any fatigue from years of war. Likewise would Imperial hardliners just sit around and let it happen?
Hi guys! I am really interested in learning and exploring the landscape of Indian politics. I am not preparing for UPSC or any other competitive exam but I would love to learn and be aware about it. One of my friends suggested me this resource, is it good enough for my purpose?

If you have any other suggestions, I am mostly looking for video resource. Thanks! Apologies if this post does not belong here.

Prelims Mock Test 👉🏻 – Indian Polity
GENERAL STUDIES 👉🏻 NOTES
So hello everyone,
I personally stopped following season 2 after the premiere but still look at the sub from time to time in order to see what's up with the show. From what I've heard I don't retrt my decision so far. Today I'd like to discuss an issue that just occurred to me, firstly I'll recap what I think is the current state of the show. If this is wrong feel free to correct me.
-
The Union is a cult. It is all the world's religions merged into one being. Therefore in a sense they are basically a theocracy where everyone has to observe their religion.
-
The Polity is a secular state with no official religion and is every nation merged into one. (Presumably they also have no religion since the Union is all the world's religions merged into one???)
-
War started for reasons but the Unions current aim is to kill people with nanites and absorb their minds and bodies to join with a concept known as 'the flow'. It is the beliefs if the Union that this is essentially an afterlife with ones mind preserved forever in a paradise like simulation with all the other souls the nanites have observed.
-
There is evidence in the show that this is true, they have spoken to people observed by the flow. It isn't some sort of trick or deception done by a shadow elite, they all sincerely belief this is the true nature or things and have spoken to people from inside the flow that would make them think this is the true nature of things.
So with this in mind why would the Polity be against this religion? Now obviously forcing people to join the flow is morally wrong to do, it's pretty horrific and I'm not trying to say the Union are good people. Rather however I want to ask why is it that the population of Pokity hasn't already converted to the Union?
Their afterlife seems to be one you can directly observe and confirm to exist for yourself. It preserves all parts of the mind, essentially all parts of you. So therefore what they say is true, you can go into paradise forever by helping them out. So why would the Polity hesitate?
The only thing I can work out is if they think there is something more transcdendent about people, such as a soul, that the Union aren't talking into account. Or that they think there is an even better place the person goes to after death if they let themselves not be absorbed by the flow.
Wouldn't those though make the Polity be the more superstitious side here? Wouldn't the Union be the more scientific of the pair since it has actual onserv
