Review[]
Aspects of the Great British Review that will affect this article:
- Fog of War is the biggest one. Survivors in Cumbria will never be totally unaware of the existence of larger states; it's just that for many years, these larger states were too weak and too preoccupied with their own problems to affect events in this region. Similar thinking applies to trade. Trade is not like a video game where you need to send units to the other player and establish a route. Trade would always be happening on a small scale, carried out by private merchants and peddlers. Governments can encourage and regulate trade, but they aren't the ones to make it start happening.
- The insane scale of the disaster at Sellafield was not quite appreciated before. But this actually does not affect the article all that much because it had assumed a near-total collapse of society, something that's consistent with the Sellafield catastrophe.
- This is something that only applies to this article, but the name "Rheged" seems like the kind of thing that alternate history fans would think of, but not a band of random survivors. Cumbria (before 2011) and Cumberland (after 2011) make the most sense to me, since those are the names of the respective regions covered by the cooperative.
Otherwise this article doesn't have to change all that much. False Dmitri (talk) 21:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
