== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]],'' the land of Cephiro is directly connected to how devoted its ruler, the Pillar, is to it. One of the major conflicts in the series occurs when the heroines ask whether or not this is right,
* Each country in ''[[The Twelve Kingdoms]]'' is governed by an immortal ruler chosen by a holy creature called a ''kirin''. If the ruler rules his or her kingdom effectively and with benevolence, the land prospers. If the ruler grows corrupt, the land is beset by [[The Plague|plagues]] and natural disasters. Also, the kirin sickens and dies, which, in turn, causes the ''ruler'' to sicken and die. If the ruler reforms before the death of the kirin, both can become well again - although such a thing has yet to happen in the recorded history of that world. There have, however, been instances of rulers committing suicide upon recognizing the illness of their kirin, which let them get better and be able to choose a new king - like {{spoiler|Queen Joukaku of Kei, who did that to save her land and her kirin Keiki; and king Shishou of Sai, whose death saved his kirin Sairin and let her choose his adoptive mother Chuukin as Queen.}}.
* The films of [[Hayao Miyazaki]] tend to be full of this, with "good" represented by [[Green Aesop|"natural"]].
