Finalized the Organizational Structure. This is it. No more changes, and every significant position filled by a named Joe. The bulk of Joes are from the ARAH line, but I've incorporated Joes from the
GI Joe Extreme
,
Sigma 6
, and
Sgt. Savage & the Screaming Eagles
lines as well. I was going to add some guys from the
Bronze Bombers
but they're not really GI Joe (although they did use licensed GI Joe molds), so I skipped them.

The names in bold are the Joes I've yet to make images and filecards for.
@Tyroc: I like your interpretation, but I sort of wish you set up the opposition of personal freedoms vs. creature comforts more. I think it would be a nice dynamic to put in play in your version of a Cobra-run Trucial Abysmia. Abysmian citizens have a lot in the way of economic and material benefits, but have given up a lot of their personal freedoms (such as free speech, a free press, the right to assemble peaceably & the right to petition) to gain them. I think it's a very real choice people make everywhere in the world.
In Russia, for instance, a large segment of the population is actually pining for a more rigid and autocratic government, because for many of them, the personal freedoms they gained after the collapse of the Soviet Union simply means they're "free to starve" and "free to get robbed by the Russian Mafia" (which is why Putin is so popular over there, despite being cast in the strongman dictator mold). I remember watching a BBC documentary about the situation over there, and a lot of people, particularly the young people who didn't really live through the Cold War, look up to Putin and see him as a symbol for a strong Russia, and the most surprising thing I heard from some of the interviews is how so many of them are willing to exchange certain freedoms for material security. I don't want to judge them for their choices or anything (as one said, "a free press is all well and good, but it doesn't fill one's belly"), but it's certainly different from my perspective on things (and I have to admit, that's probably because I don't have live to in the same hardscrabble conditions many of the Russian youth live in).
