I mean in the game. We're purposely not realistic.
Because as a ruler, I'm personally too busy at times to handle the day to day. Same with why rulers appoint ambassadors.
Honestly, I'd prefer to see the strong/balanced/weak government options be available and come into play. LET some people choose to play in an absolute tyranny. Let others play in a completely balanced democracy. Let others play in a Republic where the true power rests with the banker!
*shrugs* I like options.
