I have to go, too. I still think that this question needs more clarity.

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:40

Take my advice. Build your system and ask if it is feasible. It would be a better question

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:39

it is a constitutional monarchy

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:39

Britain is not a democracy, though

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:38

translate where?

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:37

dukes and princes are features of monarchy/aristocracy

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:37

democracy cannot have dukes or princes because it is not monarchy or aristocracy

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:37

they exist within specific systems

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:36

@VogonPoet Titles do not exist in vacuum

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:34

so, the type of regime is more important than the name of the government

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:34

but it is hardly possible to have a duke, a prince, or a marquis in a democracy

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:33

because you can have mayor in any system

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:31

it seems to me that you are more interested in creating a system of governance rather than titles

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:31

yes, a king can be elected

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:30

plus historical conventions, land policies, laws, etc.

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:30

unless you are asking about the system of titles, but that requires information about your system of government and administration

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:29

titles are basically naming conventions

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:29

it is also impossible to decide on titles without knowing the structure of your government and its systems

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:29

titles are outside the scope of the WB.SE

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:28

what are you trying to ask?

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:27

The problem:
A simple republic structure ignores the Chinese and the British heritage. An empirical monarchy with executive ministers ignores the heritage of constitutional Republics and monarchies. A sort of government stew seems to be needed, I'm trying to concoct it with the least amount of inadvertent cultural appropriation.

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:27

your question does not contain the description of the functions or laws

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:25

what is your question? what are the correct titles?

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:24

as the author you are outside of time\

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:24

it does not matter that your government was established in the past of your world

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:23

you are still in the process of creating your world system

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:23

you would not be asking these questions if your government were established

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:22

e.g., if you have the Mandate of Heaven you have the Emperor

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:22

the government and its institutions will follow naturally from there

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:21

@VogonPoet You need to think about the philosophy of your society and its culture

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:21

it insists on discussing matters and achieving consensus but it does not really like democracy

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:20

it praises filial pity, but children still can make their own decisions and go against parents

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:20

its not collectivistic as Chinese culture, but its not individualistic as Western cultures

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:19

its culture is a mix of Eastern and Western ideas

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:18

@VogonPoet With the new edit, I would suggest looking at Russia

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:15

I have only 30 min left before I have to go

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:14

contradiction where?

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:13

your world must be consistent with the story, and story must be consistent with the world

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:13

wrong again

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:12

you and only you make decisions

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:12

characters cannot make decisions on their own

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:11

it has no life of its own

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:11

its past, present, and future

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:11

The entire world is an artificial system

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:10

You, the author

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:10

@VogonPoet You are wrong. Your fictional world does not exist independently of you. You still need to create the government.

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:08

These are not definitions

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:00

what are definitions of advantages and disadvantages?

Otkin

Mar 6, 2022 00:00

what are definitions of advantages and disadvantages?

Otkin

Mar 5, 2022 23:59

I am not saying that you have said that. I am just pointing out that advantages/disadvantages talks may be useless when we talk about governments
