How about this: most Mononians are taught that defined roles (e.g. girls must wear dresses, etc) are there for a reason much like etiquette. Some diversity is fine, but too much could possibly disrupt everyone's opinions because everyone would be so different. There would be protests and people getting offended, and Mononians are taught to believe that the best way to avoid that kind of chaos is to prevent it by preventing diversity.

That ideal works wonders with the Mononian population, but what about the horrifying diversity of other races. They must be helped, and so we lapse back into Miyazaki's idea.

Also, I don't believe that the emperor should be just 'evil'. What are his reasons for wanting more land, more planets and more people under his ideals?

Thing about the Mononian beliefs over. Miyazaki, I love the Mononian student/spies idea. They really believe they're doing the right thing, and that makes it quite realistic in my opinion. No one is evil from their point of view. The faculty member should be extremely aligned with the emperor's ideals then if he's going to be the truly malicious one.

Oh and could we perhaps have two boys, two girls? Can't have one girl doing all the work of infiltrating mostly female groups. Techie, I like the idea of the defined roles being taught, and as for the emperors end goal, that does need some work.. I'm still thinking of ideas on that one, but I feel like the goal of spreading universal peace is kinda overused for villains these days.. He truly just wants to rule everything, and by having everyone be the same, it's easier to control them and prevent anyone from opposing you. Propaganda that being the same is all good for you just helps him. The faculty member tends to work very closely with the emperor and has personally volunteered in the taking of Earth, one of the hardest planets to conquer.

And I'm cool with shifting the genders to 2 girls and 2 boys~
