There’s examples that swing both ways of a government being benevolent and self serving. The more likely outcome is the government being self serving. I personally anticipate every government to eventually go that route. For instance Agustus and a few following Roman emperor’s had set a good example. But once corruption had set its teeth within the government it became incredibly difficult to be a “good” emperor. Not impossible but discouraged.
So yeah. Just because there’s good examples doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious even in their cases. Enjoy the prosperity and encourage it but do have a Killswitch of sorts just in case
