Breaking the wheel would have meant destroying the major houses of westeros's power and creating a more centralised government.

What's the issue, exactly? Iron Islands is independent by Danerys's agreement and so is the North. Crownlands is just the royal demense its not a kingdom unto itself.
Benjamin Williams
They effectively remade the late holy roman empire
Jayden Hernandez
Elective Monarchy is the best monarchy in CK2, if you aren’t shit at the game.
Charles Cox
Tanistry is better in my view since it ensures you don't risk losing your top title to rng cancer if you get suddenly killed in battle for instance before your chosen heir accumulates all of the votes.

Easton Hall
What keeps the various kingdoms from seceding? The North could do it, there is precedent. How would the king stop it? He has no royal army and the only ones who might support him (northmen) were just allowed to leave.
Isaac Barnes
the rules of succession are an elective monarchy where the lords of the great houses vote on a new monarch, it worked for centuries in the HRE
Oliver Hill
that system is what made the polish crown so weak and ineffectual, allowing the nobility to do as they please, resulting in constant instability and the eventual collapse of the state
Angel Wood
I mean it's pretty obvious the books are going to end with the seven kingdoms being revived and Westeros splitting back to its original states
Mason Evans
>Worked
>Costantly civil wars for centuries until Habsburgs just create a de facto hereditary monarchy
A better (and even more disastrous) example would be the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth mess
Gabriel Stewart
Martin state that it the end someone will indeed win the game for the Throne, if i remember correctly
Connor Taylor
Democracy only works under very specific circumstances.
>population has basic literacy skills
>Basic needs are met for most citizens
>Infrastructure to hold fair and free elections.
What westeros has right now have is an oligarchy not very different from china.
Luke Murphy
>American
>mocks other countries for being oligarchies
clap clap
Brandon Rogers
it's not that elective monarchy didnt exist, it's just practically retarded
Logan Hughes
the og three eyed raven lived for 100's of years and if he wasn't killed he would have lived far longer, I don't think successions is gonna be an issue
Christian Brown
the og three eyed raven was hooked up to an enormous system of ancient trees
William Martinez
he is technically a foreigner, easy claim for a kill
Owen Reyes
So what if someone kills Bran lol
Aaron Sullivan
Iron bank will take over. PLC was total horse shit because of this shit...
