About the Emperor [Major Spoilers for 4.4]

[Remedi]

I have a legitimate question, why ppl have ignored the populares, Reagula, Maxima or that guy that was the governor of Ala Ghiri and the governors that allegedly are treating their subjets with dignity when criticising what I said?

Also the populares were the force of mayority till the 4.3 summoning can't say they were few.

@lineage: I mean in-game scene in person. Rumors and stories are just that, the person in the flesh tells much more, especially since that lore drop he had. And Gaius is working for the empire he believes in. What the Garleans believed in =/= What Solus believes in

Frankly the difference between Gaius and Zenos as a governor are proof enough that Governors have complete authoruity over their provinces and no province has the same form of rule
The truth is we really know nothing of the empire, but of Ala mhigo, Doma and Dalmasca. Doma is another anomaly because they left Kaien in charge, would be good to know what kind of rule happened there since that is quite anomaly
