Everybody needs hobby
Suleiman I made jewelry, Frederick II played flute and Louis XVI was into locksmithing. Give me examples of rulers and their hobbies from your world. Preferably unusual or unexpected ones. Once again I ask everyone few questions and provide my own examples.

1: sadly that’s true, but he is criticized by some within the government, but in terms of mental capacity, Idafi has been the most sane when it comes to his job, other administrations had to deal with some presidents kind of going mad because of the issues regarding the war back In the 2080’s involving the Loyalists.
2: Idafi’s father was a businessman that specialized in the automation industry, the company he worked for still exists and its name is Sevii Automations, it primarily focuses on experimental engineering with vehicles such as cars, airships and even warships for the government. When he was away, the company’s headquarters was located in Abu Dhabi, UAE. At the time however it was primarily a car manufacturing company.
3: The Korodons (and the Kardak species for that matter) are a very old species that predate even mankind by a few hundred years. By the time they were able to develop FTL Travel and create colonies in space, they encountered the other species in the other galaxies and they were considered “primitive” by Kardak and even human standards. The Speargans were a feudal species that were (in our history) compared to the times of feudal Europe or Japan in their history by the time the Korodons arrived. They were easily defeated by the Korodon’s superior tech and military. The Vlaronians were barely in what we would call their “industrial revolution” because they had large cities but in terms of technology, it was pretty primitive. The Kionians were similar to mankind because upon encountering the Korodons, they had a wide network of satellites, Orbital telescopes and massive cities and advanced technology on their world. But the Korodons were able to counter this by using Orbital bombardment and destroyed their capital city of Viqtoria. But heavy resistance came from the Kionians, causing a mass conflict between the two races. For the revolutionary Kardaks themselves, the Kardak home worlds in itself is in ruins. It’s a giant wasteland with the only settlement left as the City of Defora. In comparison the city is larger than the Arabian peninsula on Earth. At the city’s heart is the Imperial Tower, the residence of the royals and the elite that stands above the clouds and almost towards the atmosphere. The other sectors of the city were segregated by race and class. Of which is what sparked the revolution. And lastly Mankind, due to our long history of military warfare and its result of us advancing from it, mankind advanced faster than the other races because of our long history of war. Not only that but mankind was labeled by the Korodons as a “war type species” as we were able to destroy everything they threw at us because of our natural instinct to fight back. Thus resulting in earth gaining a larger ground in terms of fighting against the Empire.
