In the end, the "secret" of the box is let out and it was supposed to be left to the people to decide, and the majority of the people decided that they really didn't care, as would be confirmed by Hathway's Flash and F91, unless they are those that still hold on to the monarchy ways of Zeon such as the Ronah family (which is only started by the Zabi family I must remind you, not the original democratic ways of Zeon Daikun) and/or just mentally screwed up (eg Hathway who still blames the death of Quess on the Feds). It pretty much argued that the Principality of Zeon did things wrong (as it should be, finally a non-Tomino Gundam that doesn't white-wash Zeon history) and that the real Zeon Daikun's dream was ruined in the process and the Zabi Zeon and their numerous splinter groups made things worse.

Very anti-Zeon huh? While their actions might have been wrong, they were very much forced by the Federation, where the aristocrats refused to grant independence to Zeon and even explicitly discriminated against the NewTypes. Though I have no intentions of defending Zeon, the events leading up to Unicorn and the events in its aftermath (if there is no retcon) were more likely the consequences of both Zeon and Federation indifference.
