It would be bad that they ate 5% of the population but good that they restored the true heir.

But would it be worth it? That is the question.

If the true heir is a cannibal, would it be worth it if he eats 5% of the population?

Cnut's kingdom had multiple levels of government but suddenly it's not enough for you. The Vatican government is really simplistic and has no more levels than they did but somehow that's still "civilized" according to you.
As it appears that you do not debate fairly I see no reason to continue to talk with you.

How hard is it to understand? As I said, Cnut conquered England which was advanced enough because it had multiple levels of government so his conquest of England was wrong and he deposed the rightful King.

It's not hard to understand.
If you like them, it's ok. If you don't it's not. Which is why you never answered my question about al-Andalus.
--- End quote ---
I am not a fan of al-Andalus because they conquered the Christian kingdoms of Spain that were advanced enough that they counted as nations.
--- End quote ---
I know, Christian royals in Spain were big fans of burning Jewish people and various others they regarded as heretics while the Caphilate tolerated Jewish and Christian communities-they also had lots of that art, science and culture stuff going on. Very suspicious.

The inquisition was in response to the Muslim conquests of Spain. Jews were targeted in the inquisition because they were seen as collaborators with the Muslim invaders, but they were given mercy because they could leave Spain if they didn’t want to convert to Christianity. And my ancestry means something because it makes me obligated to help the true heir who deserves to be on the throne of England. I only have a say in English affairs because the true heir does.

Then I would kidnap the son of the true heir and raise him to not be a cannibal and put him on the throne instead of his cannibal father.
Askold:
HAH!
a) You couldn't kidnap a small dog.
b) That's moving the goalpost again. You just can't help it.
Anyway, final chance:
Direct question: Let's define some things. WHEN is a nation so advanced (according to your bullshit rules) that no one is allowed to conquer it?
Is it about the level of bureaucracy in the government? Can you give any definition RIGHT NOW that you will not change once pointed out that there is another nation that fits the bill better?
If such a "sufficiently advanced" nation is conquered or the leader dethroned, do you still think that the heirs/descendants of the last "legitimate" ruler should get their land back? If so, how much of the old nation do they deserve to regain? The old borders of the time or the current ones?
Consider your reply carefully before posting it because I am not going to allow you to move the goalposts again.

It has to have towns and cities and have at least two levels of government, with local governments for towns and cities, and a central government ruling over the local governments. It has to have writing, and knowledge of iron and steel making. And the heirs of the last legitimate ruler deserve to regain the old borders. England’s border has mostly stayed the same.
