Enlightened rule? by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

This is an old piece from early in Imperium Offtopicum XIV, depicting far too accurately the first encounter between Mathalamus' Rome and Ailedhoo's Platonic Republic. It's actually hilarious that while the latter claimed itself to be a purely reason-driven society, twice they nearly went to war literally to prove who had the biggest ego, both times begging me to intervene on their respective behalf. Somewhat fitting that neither country survived to the end of the game.
