Chapter 153: The Kingdom of Nathia’s Internal Situation.
"Why are so many players determined to become kings in one character’s lifetime."
"They push their influence to its limits, forgetting that as players they can inhabit their character’s sons, their grandsons."
"So why rush to gain power?"
"Is it not better to wait and slowly gain your power and legitimacy naturally."
"And why must your first character take over a kingdom, not the second or third?"
"This absence of patience is why so many fail."
"For they forget the saying haste makes waste."
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online.

Just as Amulius explained to Leon, Railius confirmed from his travels throughout Nathia that, once again, the genius Chavarian war minister was right on the ball with his assessment of the ancient kingdom’s situation, as he was with most things related to political or military affairs.
It was a kingdom that, while appearing powerful on the outside with its strong generals and military because of its many hostile neighbours and the rise of a new superpower to the north, had many internal issues that could not be dealt with. The forces loyal to the kingdom more than themselves had to focus on defending Nathia from outside foes; otherwise, one disastrous civil war could bring the entire kingdom down!
Every single time a country enters a civil war, talented people end up dying, whether in the fighting or executed in the aftermath. No matter the outcome, there is usually a loss initially, even if eradicating parasites in the long term will help the nation to prosper. The elite soldiers of the kingdom would kill each other, reducing their number considerably, and the many villages burnt and looted during the war would cripple many territories’ economies and would take years for them to recover.
