Only in the sense that the laws she has created are extremely strict, and are designed to rigorously prevent the loss of balance between the human/Mamono population. Magic use is prohibited except in special circumstances, all aphrodisiacs are banned, and Mamono capable of spiritual corruption and human turning are only allowed to live there on temporary visas. These laws are in place because the capital resides above one of the last great Dwarven kingdoms left, and there is a fragile peace between them and the Elves, who live in a province within the realm. The laws are there to protect their interests. Lolification is also banned, without exception.

Not to mention she is appointed for life, so she is pretty much a dictator. However, she's been ruling the realm for almost seventy five years, and Whitemarch is a very safe, if slightly old-fashioned, realm where just about everyone gets along. She actively invited oppressed Mamono and Human groups to settle there, as well as giving aid and shelter to a large contingent of excommunicated, non-violent Order members. So people have a reason to love her.
