wyltok, Tsunami, thank you. Your posts have been very interesting and I appreciate that. Your insight about the reasons to keep reading are more or less the sane I thought, wyltok
Rygar, the Aurorans themselves that are depicted are military, so hubby and I don't care for them. The problem is that speaking of the government as unefficient and corrupted is spreading the stereotype of the Latino government (think the stereotype of the tropical country dictator). That is precisely what incensed my husband.
Mith:
It could also be a take on historic Spanish economic inefficency with regards to how the silver mines of the New World inflated the Spanish economy in the 1600s.
Basically, I am looking at this as a basis for the European Spaniards, and not in connection with Latin America. But then again, I do not have any roots in Latin America to notice that potential point of view.

Yeah, and Spire Aurora doesn't (presumably) have the history of repeated foreign backed coups either. I could see how that could upset someone.

LOL, yes.

If it's the town in Illinois, it was named for the Lake in Minnesota, which in turn was it was a combination of the latin word for Truth and Head.
--- Quote ---"The Ojibwe name for "Lake Itasca" was Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake);[1] this was changed by Henry Schoolcraft to "Itasca", coined from a combination of the Latin words veritas ("truth") and caput ("head"),[2][3] though it is sometimes misinterpreted as "true head." It is one of several examples of pseudo-Indian place names created by Schoolcraft."
