    Unless the greedy ones are also those with the biggest army and most effective weapons.

    Being the most powerful player isn’t sufficient to prevent opposition. A pufferfish is less powerful than a shark, but the shark still has to respect the pufferfish because the pufferfish can hurt the shark even as it dies.
