If anyone has any ideas of what advantages and disadvantages a Monarchy government should have. Which is basically Kingdom and Aristocracy governments combined. Please post them here on this page.

I cant really see any difference between a pure Monachy (absolute monarchy) and a dictatorship. You really need to differentiate between absolutism, of Hobbs and Voltaire, or the originally proposed constitutional monarchy which is the sort of Monarchy we have in the UK (ish).

So broadly speaking, I would say that monarchy falls into two of the other schools of thought proposed. representative and socialist.

Er, thanks to wikipedia for narrowing my opinion to postable form.

Yeah you're right, what is the difference between absolute monarchy and dictatorship? in terms of effects on simcountry there would'nt be that much of a difference. But to rename it to constitutional monarchy which would obviously have different effects to a dictatorship would be a good idea. I should I thought of this before since i'm from Bradford in the UK. Where abouts are you from Crafty?

Yeah, if theres any hope and glory left in this country, and yes it's good to know you're not living that far away in the world. I also know another player who is from Manchester on this game as well.
