I supported the son-in-law because I wanted reform

They loosened welfare a bit so support for the royal family went up

The reform failed?

I'm telling you I want reform

Don't you dare have fun with this!!!

Let's just keep it like this, everyone!! this is it

A political strategy game where you become a leader and run a nation.

In the DLC, you can play as Richia Kingdom,

an absolute monarchy.

You try to move toward democratic constitutional monarchy

by protecting your people's rights,

but the monarchy's approval rating shoots up instead—reform failed.

King: "If we don't change now, our country will DIE!!!"

People: "Our king is doing such a good job keeping us fed and stable... why would we change anything?"

Then when you argue "King Sejong already gave us everything, we should go democratic,"

the people say "He already gave us everything—so why should we support having a new leader every 5 years?"

Reform failed.

Finally someone said it out loud!! I've been trying to explain this to my coworkers for YEARS

okay but the part about circular logic at 3:47 had me dead, that's literally what my company does every quarterly meeting

Not me feeling personally attacked right now, this is too real and I didn't sign up for this kind of honesty 😭
