At 25 years to a new generation - the LLAR has had (2183 (plus) minus 2100 when the league leaves earth) 83 years (working on the fourth generation) to adapt to not thinking "Earth" is home but that 'their worlds" are 'home' only the very oldest citizens would remember Earth and the first generation off Earth would start transferring loyalty to 'their' worlds. I think three generations later it would, "Well, if it was not too costly, we have our homes to defend... Besides we haven't needed them in what, 80 plus years? Screw the gringo bastards and their boot licking peons. Yeah, kill the 'Cucarachas' but defend the "Earthie" NAC? No big loss if they die killing Kra'vak." > Of course, for this to work, Earth should not be conquered or Depends a lot on where the original constituents of the LLAR in space came from too. And what happens after to the new generations. Brazil? Mexico? Mostly 'European' looking elites, Mestizo, or indio citizens? Refugees or prewar emigrants? And what numbers are emigrants from Earth and how fast has the non-Earth born population grown? IMVU (to paraphrase John, "...in my version of the universe...") the average family size off Earth in the LLAR areas is circa 6.7 (okay, it's a number I just made up but it fits) with a significantly low death rate (modern medicine in the ex-colonies, now 'home') of children. Marriage occurs early (age 18.7 median) and the government encourages childbirth with a regressive tax rate (higher for 'DINK's, lower for large families.) Most of the LLAR types still hate the NAC (beyond reason sometimes) but the IC isn't far behind. And Earth is 'An Old Man's Dream' to the latest generation. Honor requires you hate/hinder the NAC but recover Earth...? Gracias,
