Shireroth

This got me thinking.

I was thinking of making the Duke of Yardistan the nominal leader who votes in the Landsraad, then having the Anarch as the real guy with power, and making it a position that changes hands. Every month or two months, the person with the most post change in that last month/those last two months (i.e. has posted the most) is the candidate, and the Diet votes on whether we want him. If there's a majority yes he's in, if not the 2nd highest poster gets voted on and so on. I thought it might be a little fun.

If you do this, and Elwynn does their thing, and I keep letting Straylightians have Landsraad emissaryship (well, more like start letting them have it again, I haven't been doing that lately), next thing you know we'll finally have actually become a republic

And then there'll be no need for the Kehl and I'll be happy.

(Shudders)

If we are to be a Crowned Republic (a la Poland 1500 - 1600's) lets not let it go too far. There are nations that would be thrilled to pull a Russia-Prussia-Austria on us.

The Anarch was ussually the guy who would go "I'm in charge!" and have the most people following him. Which could lead to multiple Anarchs running around at once.

Make the Anarch more like the Pope, and those counties which swear allegiance to his anarchical ways follow him ...

It's a neat idea, but I think that for the sake of Shireroth that the Anarch should either be Duke of Yardistan or the Kaiser.

I like the idea, benny

*Takes a deep breath to speak long long paragraphs*

No.

*Remembered he was really tired in RL...*

I don't like that idea at all. Let's not mess with what works...

Hey, it was just an idea.

No offense to your idea, but considering my current position, it's understandable. Yes?

Thank you, oh Mighty Duke!

No democracy in Yardistan. Boooo. :P

Democracy? Noo. This was meritocracy if anything. Or... activocracy.

Ah, power to the nobles, not power to the people. Nobles is all right ...

Power to the nobles - or power to the people - makes no difference to me - I would prefer power to the active.

I would prefer power to the active.

THAT JUST SORT OF HAPPENS, DOESN'T IT?

Well, power to the most active, and have that power redistributed as often as possible.

"I was thinking of making the Duke of Yardistan the nominal leader who votes in the Landsraad, then having the Anarch as the real guy with power"


You know, that's kind of how I always envisioned things...

But without the democracy. Come on!

I've always liked the idea of a crowned Republic. Which is why I like Shireroth, I suppose.

Well, we'd get our own back come 1919!

No, Lithuania and Ukraine (most of them anyway) were lost.

"For Our Freedom and Yours!"
