Nonesense. Every citizen is here entirely of their own "free will" because they consider life more worth living here (with good reason). It really is that simple. As explained previously, virtually everything in Selforge is powered/operated by Lawrence's essence.

"God-Emperor" is only here to reflect this transcendent personal role in the workings of the Selforge society (it is meta reference to match the picture's vibe, not an in-universe title).

Citizens are his friends and lovers and treated care and consideration, not expandable sheepish subjects crawling in his shadow, and all they are expected to is to follow the regulations necessary to greater goood of everyone involved.

Cassius is STILL imposing his will on everything and everyone through overwhelming power though, isn't he ? Isn't that the very definition of "dictatorship" ?
