However there are a fundamental difference between monarchy in birthright and other settings. In birthright there is the mechanical entity called bloodline, that regulates your income and reserve capacity of an essential mechanical resource called regency points.Without bloodline you effectively cannot get regency points, and that puts extreme limitations on what you can expect to acheive as a ruler. In short birthright codifies in mechanics that certain people are inherently "better" than others to rule for no other reason than what family they come from. This element is not part of any other setting. Overthrowing a tyrant king to insert one of the people (or democracy) in their place is a viable trope in FR. This is a lot more tricky in Birthright.However as we are not living in the 1800s, I hope we now have gotten to the point that we are not ripping up too many wounds among people having gone trough pains due to having been deceived by the real world equivalent thinking..</blockquote>
