Crazy people and con artists can exist in any of the established factions, and to be honest we've got enough groups that somebody thought "hey wouldn't this be neat if-" and then never did anything with that I don't see why we need another one clogging up the pipes. (In fact, I'm considering going on a faction-clearance spree in the Wiki. Hm.)

We might want to keep the existing text for the other factions but merge it onto a single page, much like the Barsoomians, Lensmen, and Quartermass Institute share the Pulpers page. After all, somebody did think these were good ideas at the time, and if someone does want to develop one of them, the existing text can be used as a starting point.

Cultures would have @ first glance: Antis, Belters, Furries, Pulpers, Timelords, Herbertites, Heinleinians, Dorsai, Humorists, Milfen, Slan, Submariners, Pellucidarians, Turnerites, Knight Riders Pages that'd get combined/cut: Extraplanetary Defense Force (cut), Pournelle Fen (combine w/ Milfen) Also cut the link to Quatermass Institute on the top page. Bounty Hunters can go under corporations, maybe under an 'independent contractor' subhead. Koopa Kingdom moves up from corporate to the minors...
