Just a few random thoughts I was looking through Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions website (http://www.merzo.net/) and looking at the -2000X zoom tab. In there is the zent home base from the TV series and its size can be compared to the moon. This got me wondering how big the factory satellite was. Its huge! To big infact.. looking through the UNSD RPG site I found a few figures: Total Width Entire Factory: 15,000 km Height(Main Pod): 3,000 km Now the Moon's diameter: 3,476 km Earth's diameter: 12,756km So the factory satilite is longer than the earth and 5 times that of the moon? Thats kind of hard to swallow. Looking at the pictures of it on the UNSD site a lot of those structures on the surface would be larger than many small countries. The size fo the thing just seems wrong to me. And the given production numbers at the bottom of the stats also seem rather low. Even accounting for damage taken by it, something that could fit the USA and china inside its belly should be able to make a lot more stuff. Those colony ships aren't that huge. At the very least the crew should be over a million easy. Btw, the UNs fleet should be insanely huge.

I was just wondering how you think the UNSpacy of MII and M+ compare in the categories of tech and their government. It seems to me that MII has a advantage to M+ in beam weapons and the earth seems to have healed a bit more ( even though they have ship cities ). M+ appears to have better avionics and a far better colony plan. As for government, MII struck me as being more bureaucratic. That might just be the military though ( even though I would think that given their history the government and military are almost one in the same).
