The Baron's Peace

The Pax Wulfenbachia is the colloquial name for the peace built and enforced by Baron Klaus Wulfenbach's irresistable takeover of Europa after he returned from exile.

It is based on one simple principle: "Don't Make Me Come Over There". Armed combat between states or Houses is not allowed, nor is the possession of any Other technology. Otherwise, the rulers of the many small countries comprising Europa may rule as they see fit. Violation of the rules is met with swift and overwhelming force, not unlike a surgical procedure may be used to keep an infection from festering.
