"'It is written: "The Lodestar shines for no single nation."'" (p. 100)
This saying was quoted in War On Diomedes and discussed in "The Lodestar Shines...", is also the message of Matthew 5:45 and is manifested by the laws of physics and of karma.
Physics
The same law of gravity operates both for the man who climbs a cliff with due caution and for the man who jumps off it.
Karma
Wrong actions have bad consequences. This law applies to everyone. A man who has acted rightly until now does not evade bad consequences if he now acts wrongly.
Authors sometimes invent wise sayings for fictional societies. Are there any other examples on Diomedes?

Kaor, Paul!
Unfortunately, the evil acts of a bad man do not always result in bad consequences for him in this life. Not all tyrants are going to be as dramatically ousted from power as was Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela on January 3rd!
Ad astra! Sean
