According to NATO, if there are indeed well around several thousand Russian troops operating alongside "rebels" inside the Ukraine? The question of control may be fairly academic. Methinks the rebels know they wouldn't be getting very far if not for all the shiny toys and assistance Ivan's been giving them.

Rebels don't seem to be too worried about getting kicked out.

Are the "girls" in question some baron or warlord's personal harem? Are they there to perhaps entice all the sex-starved males that are probably around in this post-apocalyptic world, only to rob them, kill them, convert them into some crazy brainwashed cult or possibly worse (such as cannibalism)? Are they not really "military/guerrilla pageant queens", but maybe part of some weird hybrid New Age militaristic "Amazon nation" formed from the ashes hoping to bring about a new order since the machinations of men have apparently failed spectacularly? Hmmm, now that I think of it, that does give me an idea or two...

Really, in a Twilight 2000 post-apocalyptic world, I could see some sort of "Amazon nation" popping up somewhere. What are their aims? Their ideology? Religion (Would they resurrect Pagan worship, particularly of Artemis)? Form of government? How would they tolerate the other surviving governments, most of whom still governed mostly by men (a very open question)? It could make for a very interesting campaign, indeed.

An Amazon society is an interesting idea. The origin story could have a lot of variability. Lots of possibilities. The Last Submarine includes a female-dominated megapunk gang, the Black Widows. In my fantasy world, the Widows are more pro-woman than anti-man. I dream of the Widows being fit young women who have cast off the sexual repression of Judeo-Christian society and who need--nay, demand--regular servicing by the males among the Widows.
