It's not funny if it works. After all, it seems multiple people in this forum are under the impression that Windermere actually had planetary claims of worlds they never even knew existed 30 years ago. I would call it naivety, except in real life this happens all the time. As an example, China is currently trying to argue that it owns a particular piece of the ocean because of texts in some old book uncovered in a farmhouse.

You try and put that in an anime, people would laugh at you. Compare to that, convincing people that you deserve to own planets that were your birthright when your parents weren't even capable of space travel, is easy.

It is a lie, but why does it matter if people believe it anyway, and you can brainwash anyone who disagree with you into killing each other?
