True enough, and if my mc does succeed enough in that game his repudiation of the Hegemony will be severe enough that he will make it legally so that the Hegemony never even formally existed by legally having his new order claim to be the successor state of the pre-Hegemony states, but not the Hegemony itself. Mostly since claiming successor state status over the Hegemony would mean having to recognize it as a valid state in the first place and that would mean owning some of its institutional decisions and polices, which would be something my mc would categorically refuse to even contemplate.
