Dhekhnam the Ottoman Empire
Can anyone else see the parallels? To my mind, the millet system seems to be quite close to the Ktuvok's idea behind managing subject peoples. In particular, elevating figures like the Patriarch of Constantinople to a position of authority was an excellent way for both the ktuvoks and the Turks to maintain their own authority (e.g. it allowed the Turks to pose as defenders of Orthodoxy from the schismatic West).
