nobody does, the Sketch are still wondering whether we're playing Russian Roulette and consistently not dying or whether we planned everything and are looking like Jackie Chan when he's kicking butt
I mean, they've narrowed it down to far more than others.

Though I think the Khemetri and the Black Sheep have a pretty solid idea of how we work. They've both been preempting our desires rather nicely.
 
One question I've had for a while is how old exactly is Faron by this point? Even if he survived the assassination attempt, would he have been capable of organizing and leading this sort of action? If he isn't, is he sitting in an advisory role?

They know that they should do controlled burns before the pyromaniac neighbor starts playing with matches again.
Khemetri even knows when to lend the pyromaniac more fuel!

We need to get more navy, and I can't vote for a plan without it.
I'm pretty sure every plan has increasing Navy in it:

One question I've had for a while is how old exactly is Faron by this point? Even if he survived the assassination attempt, would he have been capable of organizing and leading this sort of action? If he isn't, is he sitting in an advisory role?
Even if he was in his early 20's back in the beginning of the quest, he would've been atleast 60 by now.

Black Sheep: Are you sure we should be doing this?
Khemetri: What do you mean? We are just preparing the Ymaryn a birthday gift.
Black Sheep: I know, but should we really set up a bunch of flammable situations thorough Syffryn? Will Ymar really enjoy this, i mean he likes fire but this seems a bit to much. Also isn't there a risk it will spread to us.
Khemetri: Ok listen here young one, trust me when i say that nothing will please that pyromaniac more than a boonfire ready to be lit, the more out of control it goes the better. They will keep it from those they consider friends so we're safe. Besides you do remember what happened last time they made their own fire!
Black Sheep:............ Where should i put these republican, horror worshiping mathematicians?
Khemetri: Put them in Hexepraner, they have been acting like they are the meanest thing on the block, lets show them what really is up-

Every future crisis is in reality the other world powers trying to distract us from creating ourselves, like we did with the Hexepraner and Tourtun revolt, which sort of created the current geopolitical situation.

Well, being a Napoleon analogue, the man would be ~67. Frankly, for the time, that is too damn old to be leading from the front or even the back. He is likely on in an advisory role if he is there at all.

Even in that capacity he is a goldmine. He is likely in some village somewhere enjoying the native substitute for tobacco and resting his feet by the fire.
 
We have oddly inverted the USA policy of "haha we have the biggest Navy, you can't get to us, too much water in the way!" With "haha we have the biggest Army, you can't get to us, too much land in the way!"

more that we've turned most of our neighbors into loyal buffer states that have similar army tech.

Speaking of which, @Academia Nut , what military tech are the Black Sheep working on now?

I don't know, this doesn't feel like Faron's style. It's too hit and run focused, and the soldiers, while surprisingly well trained, don't seem to have his touch from what we've hear.

Faron was the guy who turned the Wyrmyn into a force that could stand up to the DC, even if only temporarily. These troops don't have anywhere that close to that level of skill, from what AN said.
