As I read this, I gain the impression he conquered and rules over nearly the whole continent. Every country, except one. Arcea. Maybe he should consider invading it with his army. Jokes aside, moving the capital away from those old farts, who won't move their arses and homes to a new capital, might be the best move. They will let all hell lose and argue the emperor to be a traitor, but changing the battle field by leaving their turf and forcing them into the offensive is way better then fighting against them in there fortified political and social bunkers.
