April fools and governance

So April fools has passed! :D This year's winner is my brother. Lucky Remy got to crown him personally....... I'm starting to hate the girl. Also, questioning her luck.... is that a Saturnian thing? Luck?

Anyways, since I haven't really been up to anything lately, I'll just talk about how Governance work here.
So yeah. Currently we have our family standing on the throne.... How we got it? Through conquests. You have to be, first of all, RICH. Second, STRONG. Doesn't matter where you come from, so long as you can win the conquest and kill the last ruler. Sounds harsh, no?
Anyway, the ruling is absolute and done by the King and Queen, but mostly the King. Saturn is then split into four main areas; North, South, East and West. The King's sibling/s (in today's case, Uncle Godel) usually stand as Hand of the King and govern either West or East as a stand in for the King...... the King handles the North, the Queen handles the South. But they are all in absolute command under the King.

In our case, since my dad doesn't have siblings, we have Uncle Godel (son of the last Hand of the King) standing as Hand, sub-ruler of the North main ruler of the West....Li and I are sub-rulers under Uncle Godel's guide. But soon enough my mother will take either one of us as sub-rulers of the South....it'll probably be me, since Li's mother is Rhean and he has a land to rule there as well..... but if I get engaged to a Rhean Prince...then that's where it gets complicated. Ray rules the East under no one (often dad), which is great practice for him as heir. Aside from that, he's under King Ar's guidance in sub-ruling over Mars' North. Busy man.

Yeaahhh.... So you can only imagine what I'm going through when I'm home. I'm stuck with paperwork and invites and complaints and all the things people worry about. I need to go here and there to check construction progress and the supported charities and shit. Oh.... I also need to go meet Prince Ralph some time this April. Pretty excited about that! :>

.........I think I just depressed myself with this work-related blog post. >:P
