Government Type

Monarchy

monarchy

A Monarchy is a Government Type based upon the principle of undivided personal sovereignty, where the Ruler is the first among the elites. The Heir is normally determined by the Dynasty of the Monarch and in most cases they rule for life.

Monarchs can use Royal Marriages to secure Alliances, and can even inherit foreign Countries through Personal Unions. However, succession is often a troublesome matter, and Monarchies may easily fall into Regencies or under the influence of foreign Dynasties.
