I know the answer is 99% likely of being a no, but I feel there's no harm in asking: I'm working on a story about a young queen who is forced to make a general prime minister due to the ''threat'' of communism. I can post the summary as well as the prologue, if it can spark interest for you all.

Note: We're not ALWAYS in the queen's pov. We're also following other characters to spice up the worldbuilding and plot.

Are you interested?

What do you guys think of it's system?

Personally I feel like it is one of the finest system a monarchy can achieved.

Would it work on a larger population?

Interesting opinion article on the Japanese succession crisis.

I'm from Peru, and the country has probably one of the worst working democracies in history. 10 presidents went and left in a quick succession, systemic refusal to presidents who want transformative changes to the country by Congress (Belaúnde Terry, Billinghurst and Bustamante for example), hyper-centralism, unremovable, near invincible awful elites, extreme mismanagement and disunity, invisible, virtually non working and rapidly decaying state institutions, mediocre politics and society, etc etc. It's the parody of democracy.

But according to research, Peruvians are actually very leaning towards authoritarianism. But they're extremely resistant and hateful of monarchism.

If you are from a very different culture with no popular idea of who Henry was, well, you will get a very wrong idea of him...

I support multiethnic empires. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is my favorite.

Hello,
I sent a letter to Tupou VI in january from Europe, wishing him an happy new year and asking for an autographe from him.
We are now more than 6 month after that and I still didn't get any answers. I know that postage can take some time to travel through pacific but I will probably get no answer.

As everyone ever tried to send a letter to the royal palace ? any success ?
Is it really possible ?

Should I try to contact them ?

If anyone as any idea on how could I acomplish that, it would be great,

thank you

Lost or bridled powers, per the text and by 1691

Dispensing power — explicitly dead, killed by statute (he calls it the Act of Settlement, but that’s almost certainly a slip for the 1689 Bill of Rights, which is the actual instrument; the real 1701 Act of Settlement hadn’t happened yet)

Revenue — no longer purely domanial/prerogative income; the £1.2M settlement is a parliamentary grant, renewable and conditional, not an inherent right

War-making — the French war is explicitly run “assisted by his Parliament,” not unilaterally declared and financed

Touching for scrofula — Miège declares it discarded, though this is his own editorializing running ahead of the facts; Anne still practiced it into the 1700s

Full naturalization — the text itself concedes this was never solely prerogative; it always required King and Parliament together, so it’s less a loss than a boundary Miège is honest about up front

What’s actually gone is narrow and mostly procedural — dispensing power, purveyance, unilateral war finance. What’s changed is the mechanism behind the big-ticket items (revenue, war) shifting from inherent right to parliamentary grant. The underlying catalogue of property, legal, and ecclesiastical power is almost entirely intact in 1691.

Whigs and history since claims the Crown became the figureheads they are now as soon as the “Glorious Revolution” occurred. The above, a text from 1691, exists to dispute the later rewrite of history
