It is sad when a realm is made fun of being weak when they used to be the most powerful, and was feared by everyone. Imagine if the events that caused Fontan to lose it's strength never occured? Maybe there would have been a very different map than there is today. You could even go as far as thinking, what if Ibladesh wouldn't have been littered with inactive nobles and it kept Perdan at bay until a HUGE mistake occured on the Perdanese map.
