Centralization is literally why my country, Chile, is so fucked up, all other regions are underdeveloped in favour of the capital, its full of corruption and missmanagment.

This kid is an idiot, the blessing of the king dont equal a blessing of common sense.

Also, making a myth of the royalty descending from gods? Oh wow! That is an excellent idea that has never became a problem! Dont look at Imperial japan or Egypt!

 

[AzureDragonLord]

too many ppl are putting a opinion on how the kid shouldve put in what kind of political system. Few thing we need to remember

1. this is written by a jap, of course theyre gonna praise their political system (past or present)
2. in a world who still strongly uses cold weapons, a divine force can most easily sway the less educated ppl
3. democracy would work to a extend but their military would be weak unless they had years of patriotisms installed in its ppl
4. this is a manga

Centralizing government power is vulnerable to invasions.

Centralized power is basically giving an enemy country a "head" to cut off.

Knock down the head, and the rest of the country falls.

That's basically how a huge country like China was conquered by a group of nomads.

Meanwhile that same army that conquered China couldn't stay and establish its rule in Hungary because Of Europe's Decentralized Feudal network.

Sure they ransacked the country, but they did not establish rule there. Why? Because the Hungarians would continue attacking them and Harassing them if they stayed.

There are benefits to a decentralized system in that power doesn't disappear just because one part of the country fell.

If an invading army wants to conquer a country, they would need to conquer EVERY inch of land there instead of just the Capitol.


However, centralization is indeed better.

Take the USA for example. The USA as one entity is stronger than the sum of its parts. One US government will always beat 50 US states allied together.

Which is why I think they shouldn't completely abolish their feudal system. Give each region some degree of power so that they can continue to function even if the king dies.

I've played enough CK2 and can say centralization is good if you are a warmonger. Easier to to raise money and army.
Problem is it does make your country easier to get globed like historical Ming dynasty once they took your ruler

"Centralizing the political power" FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Every single time, damn Japs think that leaving everything to the goverment is the best idea.

Its more of a historical progress, from feudal kingdoms to absolute monarchies like XVI france, and when the crown lost the conflict like , you get parlamentary goberments like XV britain.

But its just world history.

Centralization is needed to actually implement developments in a world without capitalism.
