There are reward and punishment, of course. Once you are judged as evil, you have to expect punishment.
A reward that comes from the acceptance as a friend by a strong nation who is afraid of that its illusion is fragile is huge. Anyone who appealed well that “Nouso is evil” could get a social honour, a higher position, the money, a property, the power, the indemnification and lost territories/ countries of Nouso depending on each standing point. |
Whereas the people who were regarded as evil/friends of Nouso lost social honour, positions, the money, properties, the power, freedom, lives and territories/countries. |
