[Carpet isn't entirely convinced, honestly. After all, the Sultan of France--or is it the Sultan of Europe?--is probably dead, just like a good part of the rest of the world. The natives had said there were hardly any people left--none of them had even met anyone outside of their community, aside from those that came from the reset room. So did it really matter what higher rulers there might have once been, when that larger political structure had broken down? For all intents and purposes, isn't Reims essentially alone?
There's no real point in pursuing it farther; talking about it or not won't change the facts. He's more interested in this bizarre concept of democracy, to be honest.]
Why would they let everyone have a say when only a few people can rule? What if people make a bad choice for their kingdom?
