Emperor of the French
On JudgeMarket, Napoleon Bonaparte trades near the top of military-political hybrid assets, with a price that absorbs controversy better than most conqueror names. The bid is layered: battlefield innovation that military academies still teach, the Napoleonic Code as durable legal infrastructure across continental Europe, and meritocratic administrative reforms that outlived the empire itself. What caps the valuation is Waterloo, the Russian catastrophe, the reinstatement of slavery in the French colonies, and the steady drumbeat of millions-dead-for-personal-ambition critique. Against Alexander the Great, Napoleon prices comparably on tactical-genius multiples but lower on mythic-era premium. Compared to Genghis Khan, Napoleon carries a cleaner administrative legacy but smaller territorial scope. The market reads him as a moderate-volatility contested blue-chip: the legal-code floor is hard to break, and the genius multiple keeps the ceiling elevated even as revisionists reprice the imperial cost.
