Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday

But under a system where the powers that be are beholden only to shareholders in major companies? No, those countries have more in common with Sparta than a democracy

It’s kind of like a necessary evil. Personally, a system of inheritance doesn’t sit right with me. But the fact of the matter is, it works and is stable. And larping as a kingdom is also pretty fun.
