@BatlethAndBooks@HarmlessYardDog Italy. Rome's legal codes, engineering and republican models underpin modern governance and infrastructure. The Renaissance revived science, art and humanism, igniting the revolutions that most advanced global knowledge, technology and living standards.
A woman can be head of a House, but women are not permitted to serve on the High Council, by sacred tradition.
As such, a woman must have a male of the House (clan) to represent her and the House/Clan on the Council.
The Klingon Empire is not a liberal democracy.
Political power is heavily tied to the Great Houses (clans) and their leaders.
The High Council is composed of representatives/leaders of the major Houses.
House membership and political influence matter enormously.
The Chancellor doesnโt simply rule by hereditary divine right.
The High Council chooses the Chancellor.
Itโs therefore closer to an aristocratic elective executive than either a modern democracy or an absolute monarchy.
