Perfikot executed a major businessman and hung his corpse on Eagle's Beak Cliff, causing an uproar in public opinion.
Leaving aside the situation in the Empire's homeland, many people in the New Continent are openly and covertly criticizing Perfikot, calling her a brutal ruler, clinging to the old feudal aristocracy despite being in the industrial era.
This kind of opinion has a lot of traction in the New Continent, as it is essentially seen as a territory the Empire opened after entering the industrial era; largely lacking a historical past or feudal era experience.
Thus, to a large extent, people of the New Continent lack reverence for nobility and tradition.
In their view, that's all rotten and decay; this era is the industrial era, the era of freedom, where money reigns supreme and capital is celebrated!
They do indeed fear Perfikot because of the New Shaker City massacre; the impression people of the New Continent have of Perfikot is that of a brutal, bloodthirsty maniac.
