"Such harsh treatment of a rival is unsurprising in a monarchy. That's why many of my colleagues and I wholly oppose such illogical governments as a single rich person controlling a whole country. They do what they want, and you live or die at their whim. It's disgusting. How can anyone claim to be the highest position of judgement, of morality, essentially, in a country when they have sentenced a man to starve to death in the wilderness. ...What? Oh, well, yes I have placed some small part of the army near the border. Do I think he can make 30 miles? No, definitely not, or at least it's quite unlikely. Either way, this is a cruel punishment, even if it is for a coup. Especially a coup in a monarchy. Kings and Queens do not have the right to rule anyone. They're merely relics of the past, when top-down economies were the only way to keep production high enough for everyone to not starve, and to maybe even trade it. It's a simple government. Too simple. Too easy for a sociopath or someone with a different mental illness to end up ruler. I mean, look at Cameot. They have a president, and he's still caused enough international grief to start a war. Granted, the war was started by another monarch, but regardless, I hold that monarchies are unstable because monarchs are unstable. It's too much power in one person's hands." - President Jacob Lamais, comments on the failed coup of Oannia.
