Giving this group of people a right to govern themselves might turn this place into yet another warzone in the long run, but I wasn't someone who would impose my own ideas on others only because I had the power to do so. I saw it happen too many times in the history of my own world, where people prompted by the idea of bringing everyone to happiness, brought the entire nations to their doom.
Considering how this place had to serve as nothing else but a foundation of my powerbase, and how the fluctuation of its population didn't seem to have any influence over the amount of power I received from it, there was no reason for me to bother with forcing everyone into obedience.
If some people wanted to follow the example I would set, then I would help them to the best of my ability, as a proper overlord should. But if others preferred to live their life according to the rules they set themselves, what right did I have to tell them they were in the wrong?
