Sure, some things are different in a world of magic and sorcery and all of that sort of thing, but they're still not going to just be able to take a soap and sponge to Gnomeregan and 'clean it up' or anything like that. Even in a world of magic, I suspect making Gnomeregan inhabitable would be an incredible undertaking.

There is first to note that, whereas in other principalities the ambition of the nobles and the insolence of the people only have to be contended with, the Roman emperors had a third difficulty in having to put up with the cruelty and avarice of their soldiers, a matter so beset with difficulties that it was the ruin of many; for it was a hard thing to give satisfaction both to soldiers and people; because the people loved peace, and for this reason they loved the unaspiring prince, whilst the soldiers loved the warlike prince who was bold, cruel, and rapacious, which qualities they were quite willing he should exercise upon the people, so that they could get double pay and give vent to their own greed and cruelty.

首先应该注意的是：在别的国家里，君主只需要同贵族的野心、同人民的傲慢不逊进行斗争就行了，可是罗马的皇帝们却有第三种困难：必须容忍他们的军队的残暴与贪婪，而这是一件很困难的事情。它曾经是很多皇帝灭亡的原因，因为要同时满足军队和人民这两方面是困难的。这是因为人民酷爱和平，所以总是喜爱温和谦逊的君主；而另一方面，军队却喜欢具有尚武精神的、残暴贪婪的君主。军队希望君主用后一种品性对待人民，使自己能够获得加倍的军饷，让自己的贪心和残酷性得逞。
