There is currently tension between the military and the more mercantile and diplomatic aspects of Myosho society. Armed conflict with the Shintar Republic was not that long ago, and there remain political elements that wish to continue that assault which, while weaker now in society, still have some influence.

Conflict between the Twenty-Seven families (and, by extension, the lesser families within their associations with conflicting Twenty-Sevens) makes for dramatic fluctuation in the internal Myosho economy, which makes life harder than it needs to be for the working classes. That's combined with high taxation that was instituted as a result of the Shintar conflicts, but which hasn't yet returned to former levels, which combination leads to unrest amongst the populace. The working classes additionally have the support and backing of the Naru religion. Balanced against those forces of unrest is the meritocratic practices of the society. Many people are focused more on personal upward mobility than in demanding better conditions for the masses, and a number of middle-class and upper middle-class clans (as well as a few of the Twenty-Seven) have been growing their ranks as a means to both temper societal unrest and to gain an advantage over their rivals.

The military clans are experiencing more cohesion and less volatility, though the hawkish elements among them are currently in disfavor and are chafing against the ascendancy of the more dovish military elements. There are some pressure valves there which will need releasing, before any kettles blow.
