So, a lot of new followers. Welcome! I mostly use this space to nerd out a bunch about ancient history, military history, or both. I also have a blog where I do mostly that thing, but more so: https://acoup.blog/ I also occasionally opine on geopolitics/nat-sec Cheers!

So, let me humbly ask a question: would it be possible to suggest a theme for one of your posts? After you are finishing crushing the Dothraki, that it.

It's no problem at all! Just making the suggestion itself might start an interesting conversation. The theme I wanted to suggest was: Shield-maidens and warrior women through history!
Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

Many SF books have a big space government that allows local wars between its subjects. Not too big, or too dirty. But the empire could defeat any of the participants but usually doesn't. Does happen in history? I don't count medieval Europe, since kings didn't standing armies.

The model here is the Holy Roman Empire, particularly in the early modern period. The trope-setter here is Dune, as the Padishah Empire is essentially the Holy Roman Empire IN SPACE!!
