No Elections to be Held In Uberlandia

Uberlandians should be happy with all the socials freedoms they enjoy and stop whining about not being able to elect another ruler.

Is that necessarily wise? Perhaps it might leave the nation down to corruption. You say they should be happy with their social freedoms, but are they for sure? If not, then they should get an election imo. If they are, the perhaps you are more justified in taking that action, but what about the minority? Does one govern by consensus or by compromise? Also does one govern by ones own whims or by the will of the people (with reason), using their conduit of influence (the means by which they can legitimately change things) to effect changes in national policy (in Marijuania, as long as they dont make the nation into either tyranny by majority or minority).

Having said that, to each his own, if you dont see fit to take our advice, then that is fine, and we wish you the greatest success.

Akiria will watch closely how this develops, but as we have said before. We see nothing wrong with benevolent dictatorship. The stability gain is impressive, although we still prefer to use elections. Why not have the ruler elected, but elected for life? How does the ruler change, when one dies? To the next of kin, or by force? This can be a problem with hereditory monarchs, as the turmoil of finding the next one can cause civil wars.

We dont see any stability gain with benevolent dictatorship, as people want their political freedoms, as their education increases! Of course its not essential if one wants a Mill Limit society, but we see democracy in some form to be better.

Uberlandia can of course do as it wishes, and we will maintain friendly relations with that nation.
