Just like the primate mentioned, this topic was soo deep and connected with the others that it simply couldn't be separated. After all, sharing the spoils would only be possible once the enemy faction would be defeated! But as if there weren't enough problems, this kind of betrayal, most likely prompted by another country according to the current information we had on it, would be a first in Commonwealth history. And it just so happened to take place when there was no King to give a proper judgment!
As if this was a strategy game, I could tell that the way in which I would respond to the questions would set the flags that would influence the smoothness of the transition of the current, faulty government into something that would be the system of the commonwealth in the future.
