So I wanted to post this after the disastorous poll where a user asked people who would they support in the Civil War and almost Rikard got more votes than soll and luderin got like 20.
King Egmund Norsord: So we do not know much about his reign but we know enough to judge him. Firstly we have to consider he ruled the country for like 60 years and so far we know how many of his screwups? Let me say, none(Even his closest thing to a screwup is the 15 Day War and it ended in a stalemate.). We know people were generally happy with his reign and we also know that he did not ruled with an absolute monarchy and actually listened to people. He did not screw up the eco, did not lose territories and most importantly peacefully abdicated when he realized people didnt want him anymore.
Tarquin Soll: I mean do I even have to speak? He took charge of a country which Luderin and Rikard messed up completely. Destroyed both the fascists and commies to estabilish a real republic and took the country from a civil war ridden wreck into a fully functioned one. Created major companies, repaired everything from scratch, stopped sordland from being relied on other economies, created energy and infestructure systems that we still use etc. the list goes on. His only major flaw was the Izzam incident. Do not get me wrong, I do not find Izzam and the bluds right. Should we just stopped with a project that could power up 2 entire regions just because some peasants refused to leave their village? Ever heard of for the good of the many? Soll should have sent in the police and dispersed them from day 1 to stop this bs from continuing against the dam construction. But you know what they say, no man is perfect.
Artor S. Wisci: Well I like Wisci. He tried to reform and modernize sordland, estabilish democracy, have the state care for its citizens etc but there are some things that people step over when they talk about Artor Wisci. Firstly yes he abolished the monarchy but the monarchy that was abolished was..... good? I mean King Egmund didnt cause revolts or oppresed people or tanked the economy, he was a good ruler. And that was just the small part. Now to the major screw up. Wisci spent 40 years in kingdom politics before being the president and I mean I have to ask Artor:
What the hell did you expect the military(which by that time entirely consisted of fascists and monarchists) to do when you allowed ALL parties to go in elections and did stuff that mostly malenyevists did? I mean a man with 40 years on politics should have known that military wont stand idle for stuff like this, and kaboom wisci and luderin got us into a civil war that Soll had to bust his back to recover the country from.
Ewald Alphonso: He is just like wisci. Yes he tried to modernize and reform sordland for the better but come on Alphonso. He actually thought he could change the country from 20 years of sollonomics into a market economy in just 4(FOUR) years. I mean this is the reason he was a bad president. He is the male version of Nia Morgna. He wants to do all the best stuff but doesnt realize that he has to compromise to those stuff.
