The Quebec/AFR geopolitics are a late overlay…

This is a revision: the same material was reworked in substance between draft and print.

In the manuscript. Ukrainians as opponents throughout the rest of the 1993 manuscript; Sierra Leone crisis; Avril from New Brunswick (see diff-name-changes).

In the published book. This concerns the book as a whole rather than a single scene. (Quebecois-separatism strands; e.g. scene 41 pp. 135–137, scene 46 p. 144 separatist-groups list)

Evidence. A single source reports this. (Moore only, for the Ukraine/Sierra Leone specifics) — but consistent with D.T. Max's biography of Wallace's expansion narrative. Documented by Steven Moore's first-draft collation.

Further notes. The entire O.N.A.N./Quebec superstructure readers treat as load-bearing is substantially post-1993.
