"Conquered states that have been accustomed to liberty and the
government of their own laws can be held by the conqueror in three different
ways. The first is to ruin them; the second, for the conqueror to go and reside
there in person; and the third is to allow them to continue to live under their
own laws, subject to a regular tribute, and to create in them a government of a
few, who will keep the country friendly to the conqueror": Niccolo
