What would the best government be if you wanted to create an emperor? Also to add in some type of lower forum of government so that the lesser nobles feel important?

Define Emperor? In reality all the government forms can be made the same, strangely enough. As ruler, be it a tyranny or democracy (I even think) you can set election rules. So a tyranny could be appointing a new tyrant every single month, or a Prime Minister could in effect remain in power for ever (although I didn't check this one, it should be true).

You could easily make a Republic of some sorts, where the ruler doesn't get re-elected but all other positions are. Then hold referendums over (trivial) things so that everyone has a say in realm affairs. Attracting and 'entertaining' new nobles can be done in a lot of different ways and never really depend on the government type if you ask me.

With the coming changes, you can only create an empire through having multiple realms joining a federation like CE alliance on Atamara. The government type will depend on what you want to do with it.

Monarchy and Tyranny both benefit from having your ruler in a region. Also, Tyranny gets bonus for realm control. Theocracies, republics, and democracies enjoy higher tax rates.

This will no longer be so when the changes kick in.

Oh no :o

Do the frontline Gelene realm enjoy any benefits or advantage against monster, undead for some time period?

This grace period before the changes kick in. Also, their very high number of nobility compared to other realms. There aren't any special protections for them persay, but the large number of nobles compared to other frontier realms is a great sign.

19 already, nice! That should pack a punch, although they'd have to be carefull with recruits and gold like in the 'old days' where it was financially impossible to fully fund and recruit everyone.

I am guessing you are planning to make the governments more unique then? I mean there aren't that big of a difference between government systems now and I am pretty sure it has been on the todo list for a long time. Maybe it will finally happen?

[Geronus]

Yeah, but you had Everguard to pave the way

Yes and no. I'm sure Everguard absorbed a lot of attention from the northern sector of our borders, but Eidulb Outskirts still got regularly hammered by monsters spawning in the mountains to the east that came at us out of Mountain of Remorse and Shrine of Seeklander. I suppose it's possible it would have taken us longer to break out of Eidulb without Everguard around, but who knows; we were getting a lot of economic support from Morek, so ultimately I think we would have succeeded all the same.

[Zakilevo]

Shrine of Seeklander... My old region. Always had to place 2k militia at least. It was impossible to chase monsters into the mountains due to 30 hour travel time heh.

[Fuchs]

If we created a wall of milita around our boarder regions, could the monsters spawn in our inside regions.

[Anaris]

Monsters can spawn in any region.

[GundamMerc]

Monsters can spawn in any region.

It is, however, less likely to happen in a well-maintained region.

How long do we have to change the name to the new realm once the ruler is elected?

As long as you need, provided that's a reasonable amount of time. It's a manual process: the ruler will have to communicate the decision to me, and I'll just edit the realm information with my adminly powers.
