The whole thing started to click when I realised that they operate under some kind of democracy.

I think roles within our government 'mirror' ones in their system. Maybe different levels or factions, or maybe both. They hold their debates out in the open within our system for all of them to see.

For men it's tie-shirt-jacket, right? All three do look an awful lot like a flag, even if most (but not quite all) shirts are white. For women it's dress-jacket-jewellery, I think, but sometimes there's only one or two worn. Patterns are important.

Who decides the 'player', though? 1997 looks like a coup or insurgency within blue/yellow, so why did it lead to a major change in our system (which appears to mostly be blue-vs-red)? Does adding yellow represent a different faction or a sub-faction? Masons?

I hope POTUS enjoyed meeting the glowing 'Indian' 'investor', by the way. That sounds magnificent.
