Niccolo Machiavelli was well-known as The Father of Modern Politics. He hated the title. He only wanted a nice vacation away from arguments about political views, people wanting to mutilate him, and play billiards.

When he was given the chance to become a delegate to a peaceful land of magical crystal ponies, he agreed without much thought. Surely, a land that doesn't even argue about whether or not democracy is better than feudalism wouldn't need him as yet another 'hero' responsible for the rise of yet another (possibly benevolent) tyrant?
