We can assume Asia has its own GODS - you mentioned that the Russian/Chinese revolutions were likely disruptions of the GODS system - if you want to be a GODS you got kill one - is that how it works?

Yeah, I think it is!

As a side thought:

Are there GODS Departments?

Which would suggest a hierarchy within the GODS - or are department heads already second-tier?

For example, is there a GODS of Sports?

As GODS, you’d know all about opium of the masses, Sport is a good one, you’d need a good man (all GODS are men, right?) in that position.

Other Departments would include Education, Money, Entertainment, Food, Information, Industry, Technology, Health, Security - for sure a lot of others - guess all the normal departments that govs have ...

Yeah, I think there is some sort of hierarchy, and ultimately we're all part of it, just as we're all part of the economy, it's that most of us won't get a ticket to the getaway ship when the world's about to implode!
