!historychads Do you think l'empereur was a good guy or a tyrant? Would you rather side the Bongs, Austria and Russia? Or make use of the Bongs like Portugal while doublecrossing Napoleon?
Let's presume you're in 1805 and have no benefit of hindsight
(There's no Napoleonic era british soldier so the red coat should suffice).
!neolibs do you think the British Empire represented was the closest to our vision for that era?

All of them, but on different levels.
The leftoid faction of the French Revolution, the “Montagne” was crushed in 1794. Napoleon was himself a product of the Revolution but ironically he putted an end to it along with the First French Republic by being crowned Emperor. He was still fairly progressive in some regards (Napoleonic Code, emancipation of the Jews, separation of Church and State).
His enemies, with the big exception of Britain, were all absolute monarchies trying to quash revolutionary ideas before they could spread like wildfire, so you could argue Austria and Russia were the bigger chuds.

Singapoors have a natural aversion to democracy, though. Must be the Chinese in 'em.
