[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 2280284, member: 463"] Re Shogun - Thrin would love for Ulfius to become Shogun ("Marshall" or similar) to a figurehead Emperor. The Japanese analogy is interesting, thanks, though my political stuff in the game comes more from Machiavelli. :) - Tarkane to a large extent is based off Mussolini. Re Electors - in the Norse part of my campaign world King Sigurd of Trafalgis was chosen as king by a Council of Jarls in just this fashion, I guess the Elector system might have had Norse/Teutonic roots? That would explain why it seems so un-Roman. The Jarls of Trafalgis would demand the right to name the next king after Sigurd too, good point to bear in mind... In the Overkingdom by contrast there's pretty much a void when it comes to high-level representative institutions, it's a post-colonial state (part of a foreign power the Albine Empire for nearly 200 years, now independent again) and you could say the people are struggling to work out a workable form of governance. Tarkane harks back to ancient times (the Roman-style Old Imarran Empire) and wants a centralised hereditary autocracy as the new Imarran Empire, but the current situation is far more decentralised and feudal.
