Just to add to the fun, I showed this post to Greg. His comment was that if everything he wrote was based on terrestrial events, then this would be pretty close. As it stands though, he doesn't. The basic premise for the Lunar empire is the Persian Empire (which is why the Islam model fits so well). However, there are many Roman, Byzantine, Basque, and other made up things as well influencing the Lunar model.
