Aggar is probably the only ones with any where near there original culture. The Lunars need(ed) are more martial aspect to the peasants there much like the Romans and tribes like the Cornovi in Britain. In Imther and Tarsh the subdued the free nature of the peasants and turned them into workers for the converted nobility. Of course they tell the peasants they are still worshipping Orlanth they just have to channel it through Barntar.

I suppose if the Poles had not been in Poland the Germans would not have had to kill so many of them. I would to check Pam but I hope you are not one of the presenting the reason for Lunar expansion is to spread their so called enlightened religion. They do not need to occupy sea cost to send out missionaries.

You present here a lunar justifaction for occupation, yet Out of Game (Yes I said GAME for all you anal retentive scholars out there) you deride anyone for presenting a similar reasoning for the Orlanthi. Thats the sort of thing I expect from a two faced moonie.
