Been reading a lot of Terry Pratchett and I have Deep Thoughts inspired by the character of Vetinari, the Patriarch of Ankh-Morpork. Warning: minor spoilers ahead. Ankh-Morpork is pointedly a sort of in-absentia monarchy. It is structured as a monarchy but doesn’t have a king.

This thread is an interesting dissection of how power works in a fantasy-comedy novel, but I don't know if I'd say it applies to reality. Many (most) of the advances ppl take for granted came relatively recently & on the backs of political leaders who risked beliefs
