How fun is SPAMKINGDOM series?

Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.
Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.
A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.
3/6
Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.
I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

The Cyl vote would have been a better idea, as that has a smoother convergence of the two titles rather than just handing the King of Cydwyl the literal keys to the Empire and also gives an out in case the idea is completely intolerable to Cydwylians (and if it is, it'd be rightly so, since I figure they're intelligent enough to know that in a full-on union with Methiant there's basically no way they're gonna come out on top without getting nommed by our considerably more advanced administrative system).

Yeah, I'm a bit sorry I didn't show up to the conversation earlier. I might have been swung to support Cyl (although I do favor Ruberta/Rinilda) but never Estjald.

Enough time passed and enough votes were made. Let's go!



1172 AD, Late Winter

You are Ruberta, daughter of Aeldaun! You have been just now selected by the Council of Methiant as its next ruler, an Empress! And to think your father told you, when you were smol, that you will probably end as consort to one of Eldrican noblemen. Funny how that goes, but that would be another indicator that luck is your strength.

You consider what to regnal name to take, but there's not many amongst Methiantese noblewomen. Therefore, you decide to supplant your own!

All hail Empress Ruberta of Methiant, Queen of Felonsein and Ceodwell, Suzerain of Donuth, Tiftit and Eval!

Somehow, most of the important people consider 'Bjern's' passing as a good thing. It seems that loss of a leader concerned them less than possible demon summonings he might've carried out.

1172 AD, End of the Year

The last month was spent on preparations and paperwork, and now comes time for even more paperwork! It is that strange time when the Advisor visits their sovereign in their rooms and present them those mystical Scrolls of Kingdom Status.

You believe they really should just make a new copy every year; these scrolls, almost a century old, seem to be growing mold and acquired black pigmentation from overwriting on them. Kinda yucky.

A) Better not.
B) But of course!

Guys, I know what we need to do to weaken the Pantheonists! Religious Tolerance doesn't work, so I think we need to come at this from the other end. Something to foster a spirit of freedom and humanism and positive thinking and all that cool shit.

The Bill of Rights!

A Bill of Rights isn't a bad idea. Ruberta strikes me as the kind of person to care lovingly for all of her people.

But I do want to wait; make it something more of a capstone to a long and storied career as opposed to the opening Salvo.

We do need to adjust our tactics though. We've been sitting on those army reforms for too long.

Those new tactics have already been passed, they were introduced during our war with Parsia, as for the Bill of Rights, we should wait until the Imperial Authority is higher.

Overlady?

Apparently not. Do I go with sovereign? Suzerain?

* Haspen must go deeper into feudal nomenclature!

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, Suzerain is just what I need: 'The terminology gradually became generalised to refer to any relationship in which one region or people controls the foreign policy and international relations of a tributary state, while allowing the tributary nation to have internal autonomy.[1] Modern writers also sometimes use the term suzerain to refer to a feudal lord, in regard to their relationship to their vassals.'

A I'm in favor of Rights but I think we should get at least one year of stability to our credit. All those good numbers should support Imperial Authority.

You know, I would be willing to bet that the Bill of Rights is probably a happiness buff with high chance of nobles rebelling. I recommend putting it off a year or two, let our army build back up and our authority get over 0.
