I guess I should have phrased my comment slightly better - what I feel is not that I would have liked to see information on feudalism replace that on democracy, but I would have liked to see more detailed rules systems for feudalism rather than just exploration of the feudal structure. I personally don't feel that the general feudal structures presented in many RPG settings are enough to make politics the central theme of an adventure or campaign.I agree that most of the additional stuff can be applied to a feudal setting. What I would have liked to have seen more of is not _just_ voting systems and swaying 'voters' but a system for running a feudal political system - taxation and the reactions of the populace to taxation (and corruption), conspiracies against the king and how law and order affects rebellion, security policies - who wants to breach them, why and how, magical resources - how the king controls those who wield arcane and divine magic (and how they control the king), etc, etc - perhaps something like the concept of Birthright, if not the actual system used. All this is hinted at and even explored to a certain extent in the Feudalism section, and some other areas. All I'm saying is that I would have liked to have seen more of this with some rules systems surrounding it - rules for running a kingdom (and the political obstacles that must be overcome in doing so), not just vying for power.</blockquote>
