'''Susanoo Orbatos:''' I also like the conflict between genetics and the human spirit seems very trekish, perhaps the ancient super nobles would work for the Romulan analogue it seems a bit Roman to have "divine" nobles.. and abit Indian to have more genetically enforced Castes. 

'''CasperLions:''' You could make the Romulans the "Emperor is the son of heaven" types. The Emperor doesn't have to do anything but face the sun, he's the platonic ideal of a meticulous social system that runs itself (well, with the help of the scholar-officials anyway).

I'd say you have enough bawdy Roman style noble houses in the Empire, so the Confucian "I got this bureaucratic position because I composed the best poem about warp-drives" might work better.


'''Shadowjack:''' Idea: ''secret'' biomods. Hmm. I'm thinking GATTACA. Ooh…


''Susanoo Orbatos:''' Re: "New Byzantium" for the name. Seems abit on the nose, maybe make them closer to Republican Rome than Imperial Rome to give a greater difference between them and the Grand Galatic Empire. Putting Republic in the name would also give another connection to China.

'''Shadowjack:''' Oo, Republican Rome. Nice. 

Heh. "People's Republic of New Byzantium"? And why not.

The TNG+ Romulans always did seem a little Soviet to me. They had commissars at one point, didn't they? That episode with Troi, undercover…? Maybe it was the haircuts.

'''Susanoo Orbatos:''' How about The People's Republic of Bruti as an a reference to he who through down the Roman kings?
