Not really. Before hand they were being ruled by a megalomaniacal sociopath. I'm an improvement. Besides, I'm not so foolish as to try to tax them out of house and home and I take a more hands off approach to ruling. Jeiel is the one who actually runs the place, by the peole own wishes I might add. I just provide them with a defense and the full benefits they would receive as citizens of my kingdom. In return, Oz follows my international policies and pay their due in taxes, usually with emeralds.
