I don't know w-what a Parliament is, so uhm, no, I don't think so. The Guard protects and serves the King, though. And I think he has advisers or something. I mean, as the Royal Scientist, t-technically I am one!

[Or, er, was.]

[Oh, so this was like the Dark Ages with new technology.]

You wouldn't be too thrilled with Parliament. It's just a gathering of delusional old men who prefer to bicker over their interests rather than actually get anything done.

Oh. I don't think we h-have quite enough people to justify, uhm, a full bunch of politicians. The King makes all the o-official decisions but mostly industries run on their own.

Really now? I must have clearly overestimated your society's population.

Well, there's enough of us to run our society, but, the g-government doesn't really need to be that extensive, you know? The King has plenty of time to, uh, c-check in on everybody, but they're pretty self-sustaining.

Oh?

That would mean the Underground is not that large of a "country," so to speak.

[Clearly, Dorian was expecting more out of your homeworld, Alphys.]

Well no, n-not really. You can cross the entire thing on foot in like, a day, if you take the most direct route. But there's a lot of wider caverns and the city in New Home is p-pretty sprawling, if you don't mind being in apartments and so close to everybody.

I see...

[So it's more like you put the entirety of London underground and made it a whole world.]

Which would make it a little bigger than Wonderland, I presume?

I suppose. I've never, uhm, t-taken the time to figure out how big Wonderland is, since the size seems to, uhm, change to a-accommodate the amount of people present.

Does it? Well, that's a blessing.
