* [[Exalted|Lookshy]], a relatively small city state, is capable of fielding military forces comparable to [[The Empire|the Realm]] (which on its own is an island the size of the continental United States and recieves tribute from across the world), through a combination of an extremely militant society and huge stockpiles of artifact weaponry. Lookshy is comparably disadvantaged in that it doesn't have nearly the same power projection as the Realm (they can protect themselves and their neighbours, but are unable to be as expansive). |
