Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Kusari in 818 A.S.

[Friday]

Problem is - the government takeover by the Democratic Party of Kusari SPECIFICALLY excludes the Dragons and GC.

And that is a problem - because with the arrival of a reformist party into Kusari politics the Dragons are emasculated politcally. How will the Dragons attract radicals from Kusari universities (like the famous Lt. Ozu), when they can simply join a government of reform instead?

What would Lord Hakkera think about all of this?

Of course, if the DPK decides it isnt going to be democratic or reformist, and instead lies to the people about its true nature - that would be a boon politically to the Dragons and GC (though it wouldnt be reflected in game as most Kusari players obey orders without question).

A democratic party that isnt democratic, would have to be more despotic than the one that came before it - in order to maintain the lie.

One might say North Korea is a good example of this. Remember though, that North Korea is a pariah state, and an economic basket case whos population is plagued by poverty and famine...
