The way Slumdog Millionaire portrays the Indian culture of gang crime and politics is a pretty big inspiration for how I view land dweller culture. I’ve talked before about how I see all land dwellers as being in poverty or in impoverished conditions under the rule of wealthy, racist seadwellers, and it basically all lines up with that; the purplebloods, and to a lesser extent their blue lackeys, DO have lots of power, but it stems from organised crime and social influence (with the possession of a blaster being a big possible addition to that Arsenal) rather than having anything we would recognise as actual political power.
