(No, I'm not going to discuss the other characters' storylines, I don't see them as board appropriate.)
I genuinely struggle to see how the other companion stories are real world political in the sense that discussing them would be inappropriate. Something like Vlaakith the Lich Queen and her astral dragon riders are not a real world organization and they aren't intrinsically allegorical for specific real world groups either.
