It's no wonder the Rokari won, in Seshnela, against Hrestoli groups (granted, they weren't nearly as "meritocratic" as Loskalm, but the core ideals were still there). Their subjects saw their Hrestoli overlords as rotten to the core and realised that the Rokari system was actually more just, since it appeared to guarantee that the poor won't get poorer and the rich won't get richer - the opposite of what happened under "meritocracy". I suspect that is how it must how unfolded in some places, anyway.

Everybody knows what life expects from them and what they can expect from life, under the guidance of the Zzaburi and led by the Talari. "Meritocray" is a travesty and a folly. As Revered Theoblanc says : Hold to the Book.
