A thought about the 2nd floor. Is it possible that in order to cicumvent the rules of the Tower, the Great Families came up with the following scheme? The 2nd floor is owned by a Great Family but the Ruler is not from a Great Family.

"That they cannot involve the Regulars in their political affairs" is 1 of the Rules, right? But what if that rule only applied to the Zahard Empire? So you could say that the Ruler is not acting on behalf of the Zahard Empire. Though it doesn't prevent the 77th floor from complying with that law, to be fair.

And all that to ensure the staibility of the Tower.

After all, the Ruler rules on behalf of the 10 Great Family and which in turn, reflects the will of the Empire.
