Something _else_ I can't use directly, as my current TU doesn't _have_ a
Third Imperium.  Maybe make your proposal M3I ?

How does the IMTU code work for a GM (such as me) with _multiple_
developed TU?

How about analogous codes for other superpowers?

Eg

MZS: Degree of military immunity for Aasha/Gisadia Ziru Sirka active
duty personnel to local laws & law enforcement?

MTC: Likewise for Terran Confederation servicecritters.
