What impression would you form of a state where the King was ‘just and placid’?

In a state where the king was just and placid will not be secured. In the state depicted in this poem, it is the same case. The king was so foolish that he sentenced himself to death without any fault of his own. He didn’t have any confidence in the decisions he made and kept altering them. In such a state surely a right decision cannot be made on anything and no situation will be acted properly.
