> >can't vote him out. iirc nobles essentially could oust a truly shitty king, at least in early medieval feudalistic system, even without directly massing an army. there was a pretty good article on the subject, though i forgot to save it.   > there should probably be an aptitude test required for all heirs to take before becoming heirs. might solve the retard issue. well, nobility (at least the upper ones afaik) always had given their children education ranging well into their adulthood to raise them as proper lords of their lands, incl. the societal burdens and such.  in fact, i would argue that with today's technologies and over-surplus of commodities, such a way of raising politicians/leaders would be many times more efficient and worthwhile.
