I guess the post apocalyptic genre in general is how I look at this subject, and not so much T2K on its own. The only real large change that I have begun to look at in a much deeper way, relative to this genre, is the dynamic of a government's role after collapse (the different ways government can easily slip right back into why the collapse happened in the first place, for example).

Hello. I just joined last year. I have to agree with the above statement. I am actually playing a sort of MERC campaign based on my own experiences (I served in Restore Hope) in Africa. It is funny how military service changes your perspective in the game.
