"This not a cold war. The empire keeps invading our
Frontier, one brigade at a time. They’re small spurts of combat, skirmishes for
which we don’t retaliate because it’s anarchy out here. When a band does
counter and run to their side of the continent, the Munenori wipe them out, and
having wiped out the isolated psychopaths, have no nation to retaliate against.
Thus, it never bursts into a hot war. It’s neither cold nor hot; the result of
utter fascists bordering utter decentralists is a tepid war. The kettle has
been on long enough that it will burn your fingers if you touch it, yet the
water inside is too meek for good tea. You’d probably get sick drinking it. The
tepid war. It’s a unique dilemma that kills only anyone dumb enough to deal
with."
