[ BELATEDLY YEAH THE PARALLELS!!!! THEY'RE SO REAL!!!!!!! CLENCHES FIST ]
Mm...
[ he thinks about it, for a long moment - that's a question he's not really been asked. one hand comes to his chin. and, from a geopolitical standpoint... ]
...I think Princess Inanna would make a fine ruler, perhaps better than either of her brothers before her could have been. She's already shown such strength and dedication to Iria, and her love for the people is unparalleled. She was the people's princess until the Waverun incident - another terribly long story - and I think that though she would have to earn their trust, I think if there is anyone who could earn it, it would be her. Even if the responsibility could be crushing, I think... if she had the right advisors, and the right resources, then she could set Iria into a golden age of prosperity.
The problem is the lack of resources, though - the Papal States are very strong, and it would require an immense amount of capital to fight off their advances. I think... even were I not involved, the war is the better option - better yet if we could ally with the Union against the aggression of the States, which could help bolster the military strength of our nation and lessen potential casualties. A fair alliance would be difficult to secure, but if the leader of Convallaria could help, he has a wide breadth of connections. The States need to be contained, or else they will continue to make reaches for power throughout the entire continent.
