    If it's Injustice, he's the new king, there's some trouble, but it all settles down pretty quick. Honestly, Injustice Superman's a pretty good king for Westeros. He's unbeatable, but as long as they don't screw with him, he's happy. And, he'd do better than pretty much every king in canon...

    You were talking breaking the power of the Faith. The Targ's lasted for quite a while. Even after they lost the dragons, they stayed on the throne. So, Aegon did something right. I think you're missing that the stuff you want is likely more than could be done. It looks like more could be...

    Look, I think you don't really understand how difficult it is to impose a new way from the outside. It's not impossible, but there's a reason why groups like the British Empire worked through the local powers, and tried to gradually move them around to their way of thinking. When the West...

    And he didn't have that. I think you're looking at it wrong. There's a number of recent examples, but I'll just point out one. Afganistan. The US had the kind of tech advantage and numbers to match and, in many ways, excede, the level of power disparities in this analogy. They, the US...

    All that stuff..... It's entirely possible that he couldn't. How many actually loyal troops did he have? Loyal to him, I mean. How many of his new "subjects" were willing to do what he said? Sure, in the face of a dragon, people do what they're told. But, there's not that many dragons, and...

    Heck, they could be escaped slaves, coming where they were never to be re-enslaved, after all. A trickle could still bring some things. Unless they come in an join, adding to their power. And mixing some more political stuff, but, still.

    There were the Not!Legions, they were getting hit by dragons, some of those guys going to Westerous with their Not!Roman engineering is quite reasonable. Could well be a reason why the Citadel doesn't like magic, if you're using that. Refugees from the evil magic Dragon Empire, seeing magic...

    Perhaps. I'm not really sure of the details, but a number of "superfoods" have been bred for colder climes than where we found them. For fanfic? It just needs to be reasonable.

    We don't know. There's almost certainly a bunch of mineables up there, but are they currently being mined? Perhaps. Do they already have rice/potatoes? Perhaps. The books/show never really give those sorts of details. So, they might, and a fanfic author could well use them in a story.
