CE is a paper tiger, at least for the size that it is. The people in command of the military (basically only the Prime Minister and the General at this point, with the Prime Minister sending almost every single order) are not really the best suited in my opinion.
Why do people love the term "paper tiger" so much? It's so overused in this community and seems to always crop up when people are trying
really hard to discount someone. A slow period does weaken a realm, but it is silly to think it's unrecoverable.
I wasn't even making a point about their power, just that in terms of noble population, it's likely that a higher percentage of Atamara's total nobles were upset with Merlin's move back then.
