Oh dear, I feel responsibility for derailing this thread is purely mine, so I should apologise. I did not intend to start a nitpicking of event details and real world governments.
The point of my post was to say that a lot of what Amnesia envisioned for this Hominist Council can already be done on player initiative, and that it's a lot more likely to be made official if such a player initiative is taken first.
I don't think most players realise that a fair part of what happens on the Matis events is initiated by the Nobles and other Matis players, rather than by the event team. The event team quite on purpose leaves a lot of initiative to the players, and mostly reacts to what we, the players, do. Same for the other races and governments - the Zoraï played a large part in the current event line until the Awakened disappeared; then the Zoraï all but disappeared from the event because no Zoraï players were pulling the cart anymore.
