I have always wondered how a true monarchy would work. Would it be a clan of players be considered a dynasty and the leader chooses an heir to take over if he dies? I need some help on this, I was wondering if any of you could have an idea on how a true monarchy could work?

Did you see minecraft clans section in this forums?

The problem with monarchy is there's always the problem that one stupid person will get elected.

Then there's the problem that if you go with populus, there's always going to be the group of people that have a severe lack of brains and think a bad thing is good and then pooptown happens.

I think there'd have to be at least a triumvirate to have something even closely resembling a high powered group lording over the rest. Triumvirates are fun. Not pooptown, at least.

I imagine the only way to get a monarchy to work would be on a PvP factions server and one faction becomes so powerful they maintain complete strength over all other players.

Nah, what I"m saying is that a king has two choices:

One, he can do his own thing, which eventually gets everyone mad and, yay, revolution.

Two, he can follow the people, which eventually the people will be stupid.

Sorry if that came across in an ambiguous way.

However, if the king is too ruthless to the enemy, people will become scared to state their opinions, which will then cause unrest and lead to revolution. Government always has that unbalance, and it's very difficult to find it.

Overall I agree with your sentiment though.

If you had a monarchy, there would be that one jerk who betrays and kills everyone. (aka the factions circle of life)
