Now, an interesting twist on the empire would be to make an emperor who was physically unable to defend himself, but had the faith of his followers so tight, that he could do as my sarcastic post said and sit on his withered little ass.
That would be fun to see.. *smirk*

I'm sorry I wasn't actually trying to make a point, I was just hoping to post a sarcastic reply (the first part of my post) and a more realistic reply (the second part). I was kidding about the whole "make the emperor weak" thing. I mean think about it...what emperor would last a second in the ravenous pirhana-pond we call Thera? A simple knife would take him out.
