      Yep and to try and prevent that this time they drew disproportionate numbers from the arse end of nowhere. Hopefully we hit some kind of tipping point soon.

        I think that might be a double edged sword. They aren’t central to the country, sure, but being more remote also makes it easier for them to take and hold territory in a rebellion.
