"Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Kim, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Goddess of Victory: NIKKE had a very modern philosophy: that if the Queen was a good ruler, the surface would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Kim can say that Marian became Queen and reigned for a hundred years, and she was wise and good. But Kim doesn't ask the question: What was Marian's tax policy? Did she maintain a rapture army? What did she do when people got sick of Superfood? And what about all these military mass-produced nikkes? By the end of the game, the raptures are good now, but the nikkes are left without a job – they're out there unemployed. Were they used for human wars? Were they scrapped for materials? Even the poor Mori and Lumi?"
