overall extent of repression?

  • High repression - normal for the autocracy. Reversed any political/judicial reforms (as hadn’t stopped the assassination of AII), leading to greater political tensions.

  • AIII’s repression + famines created an atmosphere of constant tension under Nick, culminating in 3 political revolutions within 2 decades.
