That's good, lol, I'm stealing it. I agree with you, btw, that they're engaged in a low level hybrid conflict with each other, trying to keep it from spilling out into the streets before they can consolidate their fiefdoms. A strong central government might be able to stop that, were it so inclined - and chopping it into even smaller warring parts would be an impediment in that hypothetical.
