Rather than compare Garlemald to Nazi Germany I feel like a better comparison is the Roman or British Empire. Elements of both can be seen within Garlemald itself - from the use of a specific 'upper class' British accent for Garlean Purebloods as well as the use of Latin/pseudo-Latin for naming conventions and the whole military being based outright on the Roman's military.

Now, were the British or Roman Empire perfect? Not at all, though they were necessary forces in terms of driving civilisation forward to the point where even in the modern day you see their influence across the civilised world in terms of culture, language, currency and architecture. Garlemald, thus far, has proven to be the most advanced organisation upon the face of Hydaelyn in the 'present day'. One way or another it is going to leave it's mark upon Hydaelyn, both in positive and negative terms.

Speaking of Empires, though...time for me to go play FFXII - The Zodiac Age and fawn over The Archadian Empire once more!
