I get the point about needing to learn how this nation works better, but I disagree that networking with the leaders will do that. The only contact we've had with the country has been with leaders already. Very few of the people Ryza has talked to have been average folk. If we want to learn more, we need to see how the society is viewed from the disfavored, like a dark magic user, or average person, not even more propaganda from true believers
