There will _never_ be One Evil Overlord. The situation of One Evil Overlord is too unstable, because the second after the Evil Overlord smashes his enemies, 600 million of his Evil Minions will begin individual conspiracies against him. By the same token, more than three Evil Overlords can't coexist, because the bigger will smash the smaller Two is not stable either, because even a small advantage to one of them is enough to overpower the other. The stable configuration is a World split by _three_ Evil Overlords, competing and allying with themselves, so that _always_ the two smaller join forces against the bigger. That's because the _second_ biggest knows that, when the _third_ is eliminated, there will be nothing to prevent the _first_ to become the unique. Read 1984, kid O:-) Alberto Monteiro
