Well, there really is no way of telling if OZL is oppressive or not... but they certainly made sure we only see what they wanted us to see. Which is a tried and true tactic used by pretty much every dictatorship when foreigners (especially foreign politicains!) came to visit...

Yes, NAP and PAP appear to be somewhat larger then NUP but they could also represent a rather vocal minority (wouldn't be the first time someone like that came to power) making them appear larger and more important then they actually are.

As for Zirantia being help or hindrance in Doom King's future wars... it will be neither. First of all, it's questionable if they can even defend themselves, they need help from others which is why their ambassador pushed for Advanced Alliance (which everyone rejected) in addition to Defense Pact. Yes, Zirantia did vote for declaration of war, but with expectation that other Arclent countries carry on that war (since Zirantia doesn't border IK's domain). Second, Zirantia and Yhilin don't share a border... there is entire nation of Ardoheim between them. Third, you need to consider what Yarra found out during her exploration of palace... how everything we're shown is basically smoke and mirrors intended to hide a true situation. Meaning Zirantia may lack funds to send it's troops anywhere...
