Digital Guerrilla Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 If the Guild is compared to OPEC what are the other organizations compared to in Dune (book not game)? Bene Gessert, IX and Bene Tleixau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Actually, CHOAM was compared to OPEC. You can read some of the comparisins on the official dunenovels.com site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 and Ix is not an organisation, but a planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hello, again, Sandwraith!I remember my last post... it went something like...Atreides - Britain (NB monarchy at that time, similarity of climate to caladan, role in world/imperial afffairs - not powerful, but influential)Corrino - US (powerful, but only be blunt means)UN - Landsraad (NOT NATO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 and you should also check out the thread where we talk about which countries are great houses and which are minor. don't remember the name of the thread though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I think Ix would suit Japan pretty well.The Guild is basicly a union as many today- just much stronger.Richese and house Talagari (or something like that) would suit Iraq pretty well (though the prequels were written long before todays affairs). Corrino attacked them openly, ignoring the Landsraad entirely. The US is about to do the same thing to Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Why does people anyway say Ix, I have never heard in the books Ix mentioned as a House. Only that House Vernius produces Ixian technology and that they live on the planet Ix.just curious, is there something about it in some books?

Anathema Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 In the prequels House Vernius and the planet Ix have a substantial part in the story. That's all I will say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Read the Pres and Dune more carefully, House Major Vernius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Guerrilla Posted September 29, 2002 Author Share Posted September 29, 2002 Hello, again, Sandwraith!Hello, Nema! :) I always thought Ix was like a major corporation more than a House (either minor/major) in the Landsraad. Ok but what about the School of the Mentats, Suk doctors and still the Bene Gessert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 I can't think of anything to compare those to except for the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
