The Time-nin are not completely clear on the finer distinctions of shinobi culture, as you may note from the persistent use of "soldier" instead of "ninja" in this fic, but even if they were, they'd go right on calling their leader a Kage, because they're damn sure they're strong enough to get away with it. (They are probably even right about that, and also they are distant enough that the five great elemental countries never felt a need to press the point the way they did/do with the smaller countries right on their own borders.)
Yes, the Signless is the usurper, and therefore the new Space Lord. Which... um... I desperately want to avoid calling him, because of connotation issues. :-/ And I think he's trying to turn the country into some kind of democracy anyway. :-)
Right now I am busy with NBB stuff, and then I have two more prompts to fill (the Hinata camp-and-politics AU installment, which should be manageable, and the trollstuck AU, which desperately wants to turn into an epic of how sixteen young trolls solve the Gl'bgolyb Problem and take over the empire and turn their society upsidedown, plus obligatory world-building theories and more romantic shenanigans than you can shake a stick at, oh god send help), but after that, I will... well, I will work on my Remix fic. Dammit. But after that, I will come back to this world, because I want more too!
