i wonder if any blue state govs will call up their guard regiments to pre-empt the feds this weekend. i know they're gormless rubes but it's a procedural act that'd let them do basically the same thing Cali's NG are deployed for while being Resistance.

american cities are un-citylike in design, not population. stuff 500k in a normal density and you've got a city

we don't even know which jurisdiction levies taxes, it shouldn't be naboo ir else why would it be a galactic issue, but then why would you blockade a random planet over taxes across a wide area like the outer rim???

the amount of autonomy republic members had is never pinned down, some of them have (elected?!?!) royalty like naboo, others seem to be hereditary, many have independent militaries, but the crux of the issue is either naboo specifically pissed off the federation within their rights--then the federation's response is probably somewhat fair play--or the republic actually governs interplanetary trade and there's no explanation for why it ought to be naboo.

uh like naboo disputed something, in some way, and that necessitated a blockade for reasons

it's so funny how the phantom menace has this rep of being too dry from political minutiae when there are literally no concrete details on the inciting events for the plot. not even in the expanded universe materials!
