"They despise us because we ruled an imperialistic empire for two thousand years." Ho ho, ho ho ho! Everyone's the villain in this world! "We were isolated so that could never happen again. There's remnants of our people on the mainland still, but they no longer hold any social power like that. It's not like I don't understand their hatred for us, honestly, but none of my people currently alive were involved in our empire, and I don't believe mass slaughter is right either way. I don't want us to have an empire, I don't want us to commit genocidal acts on other populations, and I don't want them to commit them on us."
