Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

I've decided Shazria will be an empire, not just a kingdom. I've moved the capital city and I've decided to keep political freedoms low like in other absolute monarchies. I will keep up with the civil and economic reforms though.

Long live the Shah!

Lol. I was wondering if anyone was going to bring that up. Yeah, that was embarrasing at the time, and I refused to take any chocolate trains or any other trains to the chocolate factory for several months. However, as time went on, I learned to laugh about it instead of being embarrassed, and I love to take chocolate trains now! And, except for a couple derailments (which didn't result in any chocolate on me), I haven't had any accidents with chocolate since!

Well how about a North African nation like Egypt? Perhaps a version of ancient Egypt or a pre-Islamic Middle Eastern country. Or how about your own Ottoman Empire?

You can still be benevolent, just not TOO benevolent. Sometimes you need some sternness or stinginess in order to maintain your position. Either that, or you still try to be a benevolent dictator, and just accept that your regime won't last long, and the great society you've created may not outlive you.

Being benevolent, while it may boost support for the regime, could eventually lead to your overthrow as people get a taste for freedom. They're like a dog with a bone.

Astute use of political power and influence is the best answer I can give. Every monarchy is different with its own unique factors.

Nuremgard wrote:That should have been a detriment to them lasting so long. Especially the ancient Egyptian one and the Habsburg one.

Who's to say it wasn't a detriment? Egypt eventually had a series of mediocre rulers who were unable to turn back foreign invasions (which may have been because of inbreeding), and while inbreeding didn't hit the Austrian Habsburgs too hard all things considered, it hit one member of the Spanish Habsburgs so hard that it led to the end of their branch of the family.

Nuremgard

Gualimole wrote:Why would the children of the gods want to breed with inferior commoners?

That explains the Egyptians, but not the Habsburgs. The Habsburgs just wanted to keep their power in the family (which admittedly could have also been the case for Egyptians, while the 'gods breeding with mortals' thing was more of a cover).

The ancient people likely didn't understand genetics, and monarchs aren't always the best at seeing long-term patterns. It's possible they chalked up those defects and short lifespans to the gods cursing individual members of the family.

This is why the Shah of Shazria has legalised polygamy. Lots of wives, lots of genetic mixing = healthy heirs.

Well, God would probably be pretty old-school, so I can believe that. Jesus, through, is probably more of a Lua guy, much to the consternation of St. Peter, who is a big fan of Fortran.

How do you think Shazria feels? It's surrounded on most sides by Ludanian dominions. They control most of the Persian Gulf countries and India! The Shah wants to expand his borders but is restricted due to the extent of Ludanian territory in the region.

I see. Our problem isn't that everything has to be approved by Parliament (thankfully Parliament is fairly hands off in that regard), but that Parliament isn't particularly active. Not enough bills are being proposed, and more importantly, not enough people are voting on those bills.
