A map is always wrong. On a map the superpowers look like monoliths; vast, featureless, homogenous. They are actually incredibly complicated systems, agglomerates of subordinate entities into a wider whole. In fact it is probably more accurate to think in terms of concentric circles of power projection emanating from the seats of particular empires, or networks at influence creeping across the world; at the outer fringes of these empires there can be overlap, resulting in zones of lesser or greater density of control. For example, the Republic of the Seven Seas is composed of seven semi-sovereign seas splayed across half the world’s oceans, which are in turn divided into smaller captaincies and vast areas of incorporated ocean; in turn the RSS sits at the head of the morass of colonies, protectorates, territories, protected states, mandates, and associated states officially called the ‘Commonwealth of Oceania’. The same is true of the Sorcerous Axis; All-Axis entities such as the
