If a real conflict were to break out, the Federation of Eastern Continent, the New World, and numerous brother nations possess more advanced weapons and equipment, fully capable of supporting the impoverished citizens of Central and Western Continent.
Then, a problem emerges. Everyone has the capability to overthrow the feudal rulers using violent means, under current circumstances, but no one wants to initiate, believing that too much bloodshed is undesirable.
After consideration, some emerging forces in Central and Western Continent believe that the social system should gradually evolve through peaceful transitions, weakening the emperor's and feudal nobles' power, and enhancing the rights of the bourgeoisie and the common citizens.
Are the rulers willing to accept this situation?
Others are trying to seize power, even if it's happening gradually; can they be happy about it?
Unhappy.
