CHRISTIAN (FEDERATED) MONARCHIES (RULE OF LAW KINGS) ARE THE OPTIMUM POLITICAL ORDER

@Lord_Keynes2

Monarchs have a very bad record. They engage in war and conquest, acquire multi-ethnic empires, become cosmopolitans, and then it all falls apart: e.g., Ottoman empire, Russian empire, Austro-Hungarian empire, etc.

I notice you aren’t mentioning the german manorial states, the scandinavian, the french polish or italian….

Empires capture trade routes. Monarchies captured productive land. Both centralize rents in exchange for increasing local economic velocity. Study of european castle distribution illustrates rather easily the exceptional relationship between martial+judicial and std of living.

Ergo the issue is not empire nor monarchy, but ETHNICITY. ie: ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy, and trading ethnocentricity for rents at the cost of multicultural conflict is a short term win at long term cost.
