I don't. The city is a complete shithole. The only reason why I took the position was because that was the only way to meaningfully change anything.

Do you seriously think a fifteen year old wants to be spending all their time gutting an entire society because half of it's made up of corrupt shitheads and criminals, restructuring the both the justice and correctional systems to make sure those criminals are actually caught and tried fairly but don't just end up rotting away in some cell for the rest of their lives, on top of managing foreign diplomacy with other nations and groups that would love nothing more than to pillage every fucking piece of research and development that comes out of the city, including the kids?

[The answer is 'no.']

That isn't even getting into all the normal day-to-day shit that comes with running an entire nation, like making sure the national budget is balanced.
