We don't know at this point. It's funny that people always bring up Nazy Germany, and the parallels are there, but there's an element that also reminds me of the treatment of Japanese Americans in WW2 and no one ever mentions it. The Eldians who are part of the warriors program remind me of the Japanese who fought for the US during WW2 because they badly wanted to prove their loyalty to their adopted country, even while their families were stuck in internment camps.

It's probably a less popular connection since the Marleyans are considered the bad guys, but given the focus in the latest chapters and that Magath doesn't seem to be a giant bigot, I tend to view them as just another culture we just don't know that well yet.

I'd like them to be something other than a monarchy though, just because it would be a starker contrast to the Eldians, who do have a monarchy. It could be another reason for a divide in their worldviews.
