Hale here.

Funnily enough Mr Kristall, that is exactly the man I am waiting to speak to. However for the sake of completeness, I'll converse with you on this matter. If you use the terms which you have just used, you would be implying there is no 'Zoner People'. However I would call that into question, by asking the following:

Are you not zoners? Are you also not people?

Your 'nation' may well no longer have it's central governing body, but to all intents and purposes, the inhabitants are the same individuals as they previously were. The total lack of diplomatic contact following this split would also imply the various smaller nations which now comprise the previous much larger nation would be inclined towards following the same diplomatic path.

I am also rather interested in the conflict imbedded the following two statements.

and they [The Indians] are already in serious danger of losing their docking rights on Zoner bases Sirius-wide.

Our 'governing body' has collapsed.

Without a governing body Mr. Kristall, how would this be organised? If you are capable of arranging this on a sirius wide scale, I would argue there is a governing body for the Zoners as a whole.

Hale out.
