There's also perspective and interpretation. I've put Demoness up as a theocracy, but it's just as easily a theocratic monarchy. This list does not seem to do our systems justice and obviously we shouldn't use the typing from NS. |

If all post their systems and perhaps a short introduction it can be put toghether alphabetically by a mod. We are currently a meritocratic monarchy, but will become a constitutional monarchy where the "Monarch personally exercises power in concert with other institutions" Right now the government is smart people who are useful, as will other leaders be as the regent elect them with time.

It's supposed to be simple. :-p A paragraph (or full post) can go in the FB. And how does that work? Going from a meritocratic to constitutional monarchy, that is. It seems... Weird. |

I know.. We're presently quite the absolute monarchy with all expected effects.. One woman - one signature to everything. As we have just left decades of varying degrees of malgovernment and corruption, it seemed neccessary to the late queen to take a hold of everything, to fix problems in each individual sector within the state and then "release" them. Her mother, now regent until the young queen to be is of age, has taken full control and plans to follow her daughter's plan for success. By appointing a government consisting of the best heads of the country, some just arrived from excile, she desires to delegate appropriate tasks to them and thus slowly creating a somewhat democratic constitutional Monarchy. The thought behind it is to redevelop the state, rebuild it so to say. We have lots of corruption in Kamantua wich needs to be dealth with and this is easier whithout endless rounds in the messy bureaucratic processes in a fresh democracy. The people must be taught to take responsibility, and given the tools to do so. We are indeed heading towards many, many reforms and reorganizations. Yeah, that's short.. I shall indeed copy-paste to factbook. Anyways, we're getting there. (I hope my formate is not an inconvenience to anyone. I enjoy keeping to the left in the forums, as it seems to be easier to speed-read.. ) Edited by Kamantua, Feb 27 2012, 05:34 AM.

It's.... Complicated. The Basileus technically holds absolute power over the entirety of all affairs of state, period, and he has the final word. However, it is far more common to assign these roles to ministers and only interfere in things of great importance, rather than micromanage. It HAS been known to happen in the past that great Basilei of past years did the entire job by themselves, but these men were, in and of themselves, legendary at what they did. In addition, while the Basileus holds absolute secular power, the Patriarch holds absolute spiritual and theological power, which, in a state like the HLE, is tantamount to essentially saying, "Well, I'll let you (the Basileus) do things, and you can do them, as long as I give my assent to what you are doing." The moment the Patriarch disagrees with the Basileus, it is a matter of a popularity contest to determine which policy comes ontop. Generally speaking, the Patriarch wins these arguments. In this respect, I would classify the Holy Livonian Empire as a Theocratic Absolute Imperial Monarchy, or Theocratic Absolute Empire. I'm not really sure what else to define it as. |

Velykyy is a Socialist Single-Party State. Not really sure of any other way to put it. |

Think the simplest classification for Rahab is 'Theocracy'. |

It was regularly updated by our local pariah, Leraq, who's sporadicity is enough to make the decay of a radioactive nucleus look predictable. Either Dee can upadate it, or if I poke Leraq enough, he might (though I find that unlikely...) |
