It amuses me that everyone suddenly started praising Seanchan rule as some sort of template for everyone and Rand supposed to bow to them.
Did everyone forget what happen in Seanchan continent when the whole royal family was wiped out? Yes, that's right. Chaos, wars, etc. Talk about "peace" and "justice".
Seanchan is no better than anybody else. Their "peace" and "justice" is based on the fear of death and slavery. Their nobility have the same lust for power as everybody else in Randland. And they are willing to scheme, start wars, murder people and spread chaos for that. Even more dangerously than evey other nobility in Westland because they have more means and more power to support it.
If Rand would've wiped them our in tGS - I personally would say "Good riddance".

Me too, but what wetland society is a paragon of social justice? Cairhein and Tear are no better with their aristocracies, the differences between them and the Seanchan being that the Seanchan authority over commoners is so arbitrary as the Tairens & Cairhienin. Name ONE account of Seanchan abuse in the entire series. Even Suroth is a better ruler than most of the High Lords and in some ways a more tolerant conqueror than Rand.

As I said - all of Randland's political systems have strengths and weaknesses.
