Just wanted to ask something. I read some parts of Dominions Divided again and there was the mention that the Combine has 3 times the population then the Rasalhague Dominion and that this could be the straw that could break the Bears back (either by incorporating this many people into the quasi democratic Dominion if their shot war nets them a lot of worlds or by simply outmanning the manpower the Dominion can throw at the front lines) For the first point: would the Dominion even allow that? I imagine if they would see the rise of parties / leaders that demand "relese to our benelovent coordinator" I would assume that they squash this immediately. Especially as the Republic has shown what happens when you have several cultures in one realm that not fully identify with said realm
Combine is three times larger but it also has three times as many enemies and one of them is FedSuns
And even with all the issues Feds have now they are still existential threat for Combine
Bears are there of course and now it seems that Raven Alliance will also be in the mix, probably not as invaders but definitely not something you can safely ignore and which will require military precautions
Also we need to keep in mind that Combine just suffered massive defeat and lost New Avalon, there will be consequences for this failure, especially for Coordinator because I doubt people like Black Dragons are pleased with this dishonor
As for incorporating Combine citizens into Dominion it's very unlikely that they will just be given any voting rights for the foreseeable future. For Rasalhague Dominion this is the war of righteous conquest not one of liberation and in the eyes of both Bears and Rasalhague these people first need to redeem themselves for the crime of being Kuritans before they are given anything that any real citizens of Dominion have the right to
