I'm heeeeeeeeeeere!!! (silently weeps for humanity)

So i've read this whole stream and want to just put in a few points, use them how you will. First, if you give someone absolute power (Even if you dont ADMIT thats what they have) and let them run around and do whatever they want, AKA Fedex, you have to make sure the people WANT to be ruled by them. The reason politicans, governments, celebrities, and practically everyone in the public eye is so concerned about public image is because it's EVERYTHING. Kings, throughout history, have stayed in power, maintained peace, and been remembered as good leaders because they made strong attempts to make the people happy and make people like them. They also were strong but fair leaders, and kept the nations safe. Now, Fed most certainly gets full credit for the last thing, but 1 and 2 were not nailed down. If the people did not like a ruler, or if the ruler was not presented as likeable, the people were unhappy and often rebellions occured due to it. If the ruler also was harsh or irrational at times, this also made people doubtful and unhappy.

Fedex was not presented as likeable, mostly due to the whole 'everything must be cohort or vassal' thing which he spearheaded, and the fact that he did not come off as 'nice' to the people. People angry at getting taken over by him were not made any happier by being part of an empire RUN by him, which often went to war for irrational reasons and often came off as harsh to it's own citizenry. I fully respect that you were going to implement welfare and charity Batran, but the fact is that since these things were present the chance never came. People were too unhappy to stick around. Sure, part of it could be power hungriness, but that applies to both sides here. The citizens viewed their own government as power hungry due to these things and the constant expansion, and hence the unhappiness was furthered EVEN MORE.

WHATS HIS UNHAPPINESS LEVEL??? ITS OVER 9,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's good you are rethinking the system, but the system you are putting in place would make things worse. The thing is people are powerhungry.

PEOPLE ARE POWERHUNGRY. THE MORE YOU KNOW. duu duu duuu duu duu du, du du duuuuuuuu

Because of this, the whole thing will basically become an odd and undefined system where people within the system will still act as normal nations but with a sort of "big brother" government looming over it, which will make them want autonomy even more because they are closer to it, and fight amongst themselves because they can even thought the point of having one nation is to be unified.

My point is, (finally getting to it), why not just have independent nations at this point? I mean, this system is the closest you can get before you leave the realm of nation and get to something like the UN. It's in that grey area. The whole point of people coming on this server is because they want to have thier own nation or one with their friends, and they can't be happy unless that happens.
