So, do you ever get those...little thoughts in the back of your head? Those thoughts that say, "Hey, what's so wrong with power and strategic cunning?" Or, "I don't see anything wrong with using my father the Pope's influence to get what I need." How about, "Republic, shmepublic, just because we're more or less a dictatorshop doesn't mean we can't give you really cool art!" Then, my friend, I think you need to investigate Machiavelle.
