It's unfortunately always had the white circles over the nips. It's not like they have been particularly common though. Very few chapters have nudity.
This is a translation of the web version. It's possible the "tank" versions you can buy on Amazon have the nipples visible. I haven't seen the previous chapters in that format though.
Just to make myself clear, I am grateful for the translations. I don't mind if the author decides against nudity. I guess I am just disappointed by how lazy said censorship is done - it kinda cheapens the art.

I think author miss something about democracy.

For a kingdom that is big or even republic, balancing between decentralization power and centralized command is needed. So, I prefer fusion between monarchy and democracy.

People have right to become landlord by vote. But still, Emperor set the base rule that you have to impose to every part of the land.

Also, census is important since information is the key to keep your country / kingdom prosper

What is a system of a good king? That system covers his own castle, barely. What does it do for the whole country? When you give a single person absolute power, it means everyone under him/her is also looking for similar power, should that fit their personality, and they would rightfully do so. How can you guarantee all of them are "good" as well? A king is a king only as long as he can keep suppressing those who would replace him. Just like a dictator, because that's what a king basically is, only with a fancier title and all kinds of ceremonies and historical justifications. When you assume you have absolute power to control other people's lives, you must also assume your legitimacy only stands as long as you can enforce it. Enforcing it may be quite gruesome.

This is vastly different compared to democracy where the rulers only rule for a limited period of time, under the direct blessing of the majority of the people. You could still technically say the minority, who lost in the voting process, is oppressed, but that's why the constitutions (or other laws) of democracies have elections periodically, so that the losers merely need to wait for the next chance. They don't need to take up arms to risk their lives to change the rulers by violence.

When I say democracy, I mean representative democracy. Direct democracies are extremely rare and, honestly, unless it's an obscenely rich place like Switzerland, where practically everyone is a millionaire, it's probably not worth it. Imagine reading a thousand pages of complicated text every year simply so that you could vote smartly on things that don't necessarily interest you personally, but you still must have an opinion, and it better be a good one because it could have significant consequences.
In all forms of democracy the power doesn't reside with the people, it resides with the individuals who tally the votes. This is a position of power granted by trust and thus is inherently susceptible to corruption. You can even go a level deeper with this same issue and say that the real power resides with the individuals who choose what will be voted on, who/what the options are, etc.

In the worst outlook on democracy the people are only going through the motions of selecting approved answers to approved questions and the results are predetermined anyways.

Representative democracy also has the inherent problem that it is little more than a popularity contest where charisma and name recognition are the primary qualifications. It results in a nation operated by incompetent 'used cars salesmen' who are only good at swindling people into buying lemons. It also inevitably tends towards oligarchy, since ever larger wealth is required in order to spread your name to an ever growing population across ever growing distances.

On a scale of 1 to 10, democracy is in the range of 4-5. For reference 10 would be some kind of utopian pipe dream where everyone just gets along and takes care of each other without having to be forced to. We can certainly imagine better systems than democracy... they just have impossible starting conditions.

actually, no matter how you use your governance, either monarchy, democracy or even dictatorship, it's all boils down to the leader, politician and who actually owns them both
usually it's better at the first few leadership and then goes downhill after
so how to resolve it? idk... i'm just your average manga reader

but i think it's better to have monarchy after all. the true power is in the top. there's no need for useless and way too long meeting between politician (i know, i work in a goverment department). of course it's also need a proper successor before anything else. everything comes from the top, people lives lies from the top that's the good and bad part.

as with democrazy, well you know, voting are easily bough. even if they can't be bough, it's also easy to manipulate their minds (with media and such). like they say, power to the people, but if the people are majority idiots, and a CEO and a nobody had the same voting power?? well fck me... not to mention those process are long, it's quite easy to manipulate those votes too.
and at least for my country, we vote for the most POPULAR one for either governor or even president. GOD DAMMIT, we pick because of popularity?? no wonder we're fck

Tallying the votes isn't really much of a problem. You can count the votes how many times you want, and the ones counting them can be random people. That is, if you want the system to work. In compromised democracies (if you can even call them democracties anymore), it's naturally one of the first things that has to be corrupted.

In the end, countries are their people, so any system is only good on paper. People are always somewhat chaotic. One of the biggest problems of democracies are that people lose interest in politics if they are busy with other things. They barely bother to vote. A few countries have made voting mandatory, but since that's rare, obviously the vast majority of people don't believe it's the correct answer.

It doesn't help democracies that being a politician, despite all the power, isn't super attractive, in the end. In the past, it was a sure way to become a highly respected member of the society, but these days politicians are often about as respected as spittoons, aside from their own faithful fans. This means that most talented/intelligent people rather become specialists out there or run businesses, or do other things where they feel more comfortable and rewarded.

more then indoctrination i'm thinking of it as a forced hostage situation, all the children of the nobles will be within your grasp, not only would you be able to make the kids loyal but if the parents do something stupid it would be the end of their line.
That sounds too oppressive for any noble to even consider following. They will all rebel or revolt. You may as well have purged them.

Greek democracy, representative democracy, constitutional monarchy or whatever political regime the rulers of the country choose to use – the military that can defend the said regime from both internal and external threats prevails.

Flat is justice. Tetra also got new face and new hair. Artist must have changed.

Of all de political systems he could have chosen, he picked the most disfunctional and corrupt...

But democracy is da best, amirite?

Also, it's pretty fucking hilarious how he talks about unifying the continent like a conquering emperor and forcing a democratic system on the people in the same conversation, and sees nothing strange about it.

Also, Tetra's tits got nerfed.

They might want to put into law or at least into writing that Tetra's future children are not in the line of succession for the throne, once they're gone her children might not agree with their idea "the three of us agreed upon it one day while bathing in a hot spring" and challenge Yuria's children in a power struggle over succession. Unless Tetra decides she isn't going to have children, that is.

Oh shit a Japanese isekai not sucking that monarchical dick ! that's a first one for me !

Also great plan, give them power willingly and you might stay and live as king while having barely any work to do !
Being real here, he will long be dead by the time people care about democracy.

So its a solution for the future people really
