If you became the next Garlean Emperor...

[Soge01]

What would you do?

I would create the very first Lalafell exclusive Legion, dress them up in Dwarven (from the First) inspired Magitek armor and weapons.

[Theodric]

Fully reclaim Locus Amoenus, the Garlean's ancestral home.

Forge trade agreements with as many nations as possible.

Research magitek extensively, ushering in a new era of modern style comforts and excitement.

Based on the heaters, modern looking cars and roads, and similar we see in the ruins of Garlemald, safe to say they already had these things.

They had HOVER cars at that! T-T

They did. Though I would bring such delights to every part of the world.

Sell magitek, and become an economic superpower. The enemies of Garlemald will be made to service the nation economically, and thus will be more useful alive than dead. And then, when they become dependent on the comforts offered, THEN you can start driving them into the ground.

A man once said "The best way to defeat an enemy is to turn him into a friend". I disagree: the best way to defeat an enemy is to make him reliant on you.

The empire is all but dead though now, so I'm expecting Garlemald to return to some form of republic eventually, which is probably best for everyone, the Garlean people and the rest of the world in general.

Conquer Eorzea. I've wanted to do it ever since it wasn't an option with Gaius.

We'd just walk right back through the Praetorium (shoulder to shoulder) and march all the way to Limsa -- leaving nothing but ash and bone in our wake.

Spread garlemald technology through trade and make garlemald becoming the technology front for start up business..... too realisitic XD, i just want a modern city with high tech to be new hub for player =D

Both of these for the most part are what I suspect what'll happen to Garlemad in the game, too. Power will be given back to the people where the remaining provinces of Garlemad all vote in a representative to act as said province's respective leaders and collective voice as a counselor member of the newly reformed Garlean Republic. Where they spread their extensive knowledge of Garlean technology across the Source, thus ensuring the Garleans will always have a place in the world, no matter what and as a way to rebuild their destroyed nation and seek forgiveness with other nations they had conquered or tried to by giving them some much needed tech that could enrich their lives without stripping them of their liberty and freedoms.
