    I find very strange that Monarchy is look as the most stable system. If this assumption would be true, why some countries are Republics?

    From History we know that Families Business is quite messy, but when it comes from Royalties it is really messy. Can I remind people that the 100 years war was a Family problem? The Uncle was denying his great nephew (the son on his niece, last daughter of his brother) his part of his Grand Father’s cake.

    And I don’t want to go in the WW1… All Borgias, the lot.

    The only use I see in Monarchy is to give some time entertainment to the crowd in having a red poker in err, well, or losing head on subject like high treason.

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."

    meh, everything will inevitably back into Oligarchy, unless there is a person with particularly strong charisma and power, so it can be a monarch.

    Even democracy is nothing but mere illusion, that's the Iron Law of Oligarchy!

    This is all wrong Brenus. We need a monarchy because we mustn't deny the slave mass their pleasures. You see, any slave that picks the side of his whipwielding massa can pretend he is not a slave, but that he belongs to the moral class of massa, which rubs off on him. If he is truly ambitious, he will himself whip his son into submission to massa and offer his daughter for his pleasure. That'll show the other slaves he is a man of tradition, honour and loyalty.

    You mean that persistent mockery by free peoples is making you subjects uncomfortable?

    I wouldn't worry about it. It is only the 21st century. Why would you possibly want to elect your own head of state? What could be more fulfilling to a man of education like yourself than to know you will always be governed by a Paris Hilton, whom you can neither elect nor hold accountable?
