The way I see it, the reason we never really got an answer to these questions is because the game is from the perspective of your average squid kid who doesn’t give a shit about any of it. No doubt there’s more going on in the world as hinted by sunken scrolls and whatnot, but ultimately the average squid kid only cares about splatting and anything outside of that doesn’t really matter, so we never see get to see it. Knowing who runs the government or what do adults do/look like isn’t conducive to the game itself and thus it’s irrelevant, lore isn’t gonna make the game any better, you know. The question I ask in response is “why do you care?”
