Foreign adventurism was mentioned - but one peice of legitimate foreign adventure would be a mission to South America to find information about the Maya, since so much of that cultural information was eradicated by the Spanish when they invaded - smoething for the longer term, to be sure, but still worht noting. Besides, if Ryoga travels as widely as fanon suggests, he may end uup there anyway, possibly with a group of other people he's supposedly protecting, as one of the top-echelon tactical humanoid weapons. I'm not sure if they'd still be actrive, or if they'd faded out by then/been whomped by the Aztecs, but anything would be better than having three texts survive from a noteably literate culture, wihch still haven't been comepletely deciphered because the conquistadors stamped out everything they could find of the heathen works. With Mishima to create the tranportation, the Americas and Australia would be sources of rescources without the heavily entrenched and sophisticated cultures of Asia, Europe, and Africa, though hopefully they could be a bit more cooperative and tolerant than the settlers in those areas were with the natives in our world. Still, with only one district's population to work with, such things are far off in the future at best, and who kjnows what sorts of supernatural beings might be aroundd to deal with. I doubt the eagle-demon lord Thunderbird would think highly of noisy, stinking contraptions wallowing about in his sky, for example.
