Almost like what we have in reality. Well, except for our hegemon not abiding any rules when it contradicts its interests.

she made it worse by forcing the country back to principalities. that nation will be just like the mercenary nation. should of just let it be. as they say, "leave well enough alone."

So, how exactly did one girl with a retired minister and maybe a tailor working for her manage to orchestrate a revolt?

I'm sure the author will pull something out of his ass, but yeah. Its a stupid sounding premise, especially when the author basically did a "tell not show" for the princess and her so called genius up till this point.

So basically in order to maintain the unity, they need to preserve the common enemy, which is the demon nation. It's just like that manga about "the lich that started an all-out war".

 

[FoxDie85]

What a poor choice of an author for associating freedom with immorality.

 

[SeasonLeaves]

Can't believe what i thought the weakness of declaration is right, well almost right

 

[Onsokumaru]

Woah, is he talking about Yugoslavia? Fascinating.

The MC has a way of ending his political rivals, both at home and abroad, in rather convoluted and terrifying ways. It almost makes me wonder how much of this empress being nice to him is because she's a legitimately nice person who likes him (though this is contradicted by her own sister saying how the empress avoids all close relationships outside of their family) and how much of her niceness is to avoid her nation becoming one of Souma's eventual targets. As much as it would be best if it were the latter, I've read enough manga to know that it's really the former.
