What do you think Garlemald currently is?

(INB4 Theodoric :P)

I figured I should start this topic and ask what does the player think Garlemald is portrayed as at the moment. The Fantasy version of the Third Reich (Yes I'm Godwinning this. Someone had to get that outta the way)? A Ego-Driven empire purely bent on World Domination? The Only Sane Country trying to save Hydealyn from the Primals? Or Merely a flawed nation between these extremes?

At the Same Time I also want to ask what the players think Garlemald could become as the story moves forward and if they think the Empire could move away from their current portrayal eventually.

Finnaly I must ask people to be civil, and please give explanations for any comparisons they make to other Final Fantasy Empires or Real World regimes.
