    In note of positive garlean influence, we'll probably see more of that as we get closer to the empire, at least in rhitahtyn's case his homeland was in turmoil (possibly civil war, corruption or maybe just anarchy) and the garleans brought order and peace to his lands hence why he's so loyal to them.

    That's just one example of course and no doubt we'll see more unless SE wants to make it more bias when we come to an 'imperial arc' in the MS. But one issue I think that will most definitely come up is what happens if the empire was defeated and relinquished it's conquered lands, what then? What happens to those annexed territories?

    Historically speaking, a few things could happen depending on the recency of the territories conquest. Older territories that dont remember a time of not being conquered would be absorbed by another country nearby, or would be cut up into new countries by a combination of their own and outside influence like what happened to Prussia. the more recent conquests such as ala migo would more likely be re-established as their own indepenedent governing body with their old borders, and would be assisted by outside allies in rebuilding and stabilizing their original or a new government. That could happen to the older conquests too, but is unlikely.

    No conquest is older than 55 years. Garlemald was a small republic 55 years ago before they invented (or found) magitec technology.
