took me four months but i finally pooped out the first couple of paragraphs for my weird African executive outcomes legacy mercenary extraterritorial UN commision thing. The POD is the UN commision and executive outcomes not working tandem to legislate mercenaries out of existence, but giving them some new legal classification under world power pressure and creating an NGO to oversee activities within the African continent. Also, you lads might be interested in China Mieville's "the city and the city". (confession I've only watched the miniseries so far) Two cities occupy the same geographical space, the denizens of which cannot stand each other. In an effort to halt past (what are hinted at to be) Yugoslav level war crimes and mystery graves. The city's of each are conditioned to ignore the other. If you interact with the opposite polis in anyway breach is invoked and with it comes a dual jurisdiction secret police.
