Reimian Empire

— To date, and throughout the past centuries, a large share of our vast country's resources has, unfortunately, been spent and continues to be spent on the very extravagant desires of the aristocracy, while they could have been spent on solving more pressing problems – improving the standard of living, developing science, improving the quality of education and medicine, strengthening defense capabilities... There are many ways to use the country's resources for the benefit of all its citizens, and various entertainments and the wasteful lifestyle of the upper classes are not among them, in my opinion. At the very least, this is not what taxes should be spent on. — Sonata Reim smiled strangely.

-I understand your position, however, the redistribution of economic resources is not a simple process. It will require, above all, decisive action and a firm will, but I am most concerned about the specific methods by which this can be achieved. -Elrina paused for a moment. -History tells us what can happen if the upper classes of our society are suddenly and too sharply oppressed, and this can have a wide variety of unpleasant consequences for the country.

— Such views have made me very unpopular among the aristocracy. This was to be expected, but I am curious: what do you think about this?

-My opinion on this is quite simple – progress always works more effectively than reforms, and I would not want it to have to be painfully "accelerated." My father practically went bankrupt because he did not want to keep up with the new economic trends of the Empire, and even now I have concerns about the current state of affairs. Many representatives of the nobility are already actively investing in private companies of Reim, and in the near future this trend will only continue, displacing those who are unable to adapt to the new life and leaving only those who can independently find a place in the progressive world. Therefore, personally, I believe that we should just wait a little: encourage, control, and not let it go beyond acceptable limits – and everything will happen on its own, and especially sharp intervention in the situation can only do harm.
