Has anyone ever wondered what you call groups of followers of the faction leaders. For example:
a choir of Believers
an acquisition of Morganites
an erudition of UoPers
an office of Peacekeepers
a swarm of Hivers
a brawl of Spartans
a frolic of Gaians!

I don't why. . .but this topic got me to think about if the factions started bowling teams. . .what would their names be:
The Believers - Holy Rollers
U of P - Smart Alicks
Gaians - Pin Ups
Spartans - Strikers
Morganites - Inc. Spots
Peacemakers -Treaty Troop
Hive - Jammers

A garden of Gaians
A heck of a lot of Hive
A pound of PK's
A multitude of merchants
A bushel of Beleivers
A stack of Spartans
and.....
A school of scholars
Now that the consanant matching is done, here is what I would really call them:
A forest of Gaians
A swarm of Hive
An embassy of PK's
A coperate branch of Morganites
A choir of Beleivers(that was good)
A company of Spartans
and....
A school of scholars(I really like that one)
