please people stop having this take, it's blatantly incorrect
YES Reinhardt conquered the alliance. And YES the alliance was corrupt EXCEPT
>Reinhardt launched a civil war to topple and reform the corrupt empire - spent a lot of time doing it too
>Meanwhile, Yang merely saved the Alliance when it had its own civil war
This means Reinhardt had a functioning government when it came down to it
>When Reinhardt conquered the alliance, his autism made his concerned with legalities (based), which only the alliance politicians who were competent were able to exploit (Reinhardt remarks that the Alliance actually suffered its own form of elites suppressing talent and thus, his curiosity is piqued)
>The show continues. Reinhardts inner circle bickers and the alliance remnants keep chimping out because they want independence or some such ridiculous thing - meanwhile his own subordinates are bickering worse and worse and accomplishing nothing because as authoritarians they are supposed to be everything but aren't capable of doing everything (Whaaat)
>finally, Reinhardt starts reading and decides that there is value in democracy. His legacy is founding a constitutional monarchy with a dual system for Heinessen; it is implied that the empire reforms to be more democratic as time moves on
in short:
>Who dares, wins
>Corruption is system agnostic
>The man with the biggest stick isn't the man with the biggest brain
>Competition is good
