I consider this a 4th wall breaker option. What if you are genuinely the leader of your nation.. you have a perspective your citizens do not have upon reality in that case as you are seeing how they exist in the 2 dimensional narrative. I propose a response similar to this in nature:
Your spouse advises you, "The people deserve to know the truth. Tell them how you see them. Tell them they are a bunch of characters on a page as you have told me that I am in this world. It hurts, but it is better to know the truth of your existence, than to live a lie. It may cause a little unrest when they realize you are a being of a higher dimension and it will be more fodder for those wanting to ordain you as some kind of deity, but the sane ones may actually understand their world better and accept the truth of their nature, allowing them to grow into more mature and complex characters. Tell them, @@LEADER@@, that we are not alone. Enlighten your people. The cult of Max Barry will undoubtedly get a bump from this when it is confirmed he is real." They then go back to their meditations on the unseen world beyond this one. The one you truly call home.
I proposed this realizing that Nationstates.. actually is.. flat. We may imagine it as not flat.. but until we get Nationstates VR, it's flat as a pancake. It poses an interesting moral dilema. If your government discovers the entire fabric society is built upon a common and inconvenient misconception derived from flawed perceptions of reality.. what if it tells the truth on the issue? What if science takes us some place way outside of our safety zone?
