It's just too bad that the story failed to make it work, at least in most peoples' eyes, since it seems like hardly anyone sympathizes with them; for example, I see things like this on TVTropes:  "Hate Sink: Initially, the upper government in Marley is this. As more of the situation is revealed, they become far more nuanced, but the fact that they're basically the Nazis makes it difficult to really sympathize with them."

I will say this, though:  Maybe the anime could do a better job with that? That's an idea I'm open about. I don’t think the Marley government is meant to be where are sympathies lie at all. In fact I think that’s where the main issue is that there the main problem who have enforced a status quo that has negatively impacted Marley as a whole and by nature the world since there leading super power. Which Alos somewhat aligns with the Nazi party comparison. Not like Every German was down with genocide Even if not every German was "down with genocide", generally every German was punished for the Nazi party by having their military forcefully dismantled and/or under strict oversight from the rest of the world. So that won't exactly excuse Marleyan citizens or even Liberio Eldians of their government's crimes.
