“Of Rule and Parley” follows the opinion that peace between countries is the result of balance. As the ruler over a nation, the player learns of the many factors that need to be considered to maintain this balance. A balance of power is necessary so no country has to fear the other, yet a balance of prosperity is also important so no country is in such dismay that armed conflict seems to be a price worth paying. To create a peaceful realm, the player must achieve and maintain a balance of force and prosperity and by doing so learns that there’s never one reason for war, but rather an interplay of many factors that needs to be avoided.
