Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle
Differences in the system
When I heard from Elizabeth and Sebastian, I understood how it worked.
That said, the claims-related story seems to be more complicated than I imagined, and there are many things I still don't understand.
But for now, I'm talking about another country.
I may be involved with Elizabeth when she has a child, but we're still on the way.
I'll summarize what I learned this time in my head.
The Vandenburgs have the county as their possession and are noblemen serving the royal family of the Brillian enchanted kingdom.
And there are several subordinate aristocratic territories such as Viscount Territory, Baron Territory, and Knight Territory in its county territory.
This means that the relationship between the king and the nobility is also in the Count's realm.
The count's territory is powerful enough to be called a small country.
Is it fair to say that in one of the small countries, there is a difference in national power that can be beaten in the county territory of the other country?
It was the Brillia Magic Kingdom that was formed with a contract called the master-subordinate relationship.
On the other hand, there is another great power called the Empire.
Basically, it seems that they have the same mechanism.
However, there are several kingdoms within the Empire.
There are kingdoms, there are royalty, and above the kings there is a man called the Emperor.
But I wondered if there were many people who could become emperors.
Greetings, it seemed that there existed in the Empire such as the Imperial Prince.
If the current emperor dies and there is no successor to him, the powerful lords such as royalty and nobility, who are in a special position as election emperors, will elect the emperor.
The chosen emperor would then be at the top of the empire.
But that doesn't mean that the strongest can be the Emperor.
On the contrary, it seems that the Imperial Electors, who possess various privileges, do not want to create a disturbing presence on their own, so they sometimes establish a weak emperor.
Even if I became Emperor, not all the land in the Empire would be my own.
In extreme cases, there is a possibility that the countryside nobility, which only has the strength of a small country, can be festivaled by the emperor.
Well, the current Emperor wasn't that weak.
"There are many national mechanisms in the world, right, Ai?" I was surprised when I first came to the Orient. I felt unbelievable when I heard that there was no king and that the elected members were running the country in parliament. "
“It takes a realistic order for people to live in groups. I think that depends on the land, the climate, the customs and habits, and the history.”
"Well, I guess so." Elizabeth and the others found it hard to believe that the number one male heir, like Fontana, would take over the house. Some women are powerful in the East. In some cases, women may take over as housemasters. "
I guess that had something to do with the issue of magic inheritance.
Originally recognized by the first king, the nobles were mostly wizards.
And the nobleman was supposed to refer to a house that inherited magic.
Because of the characteristic that magic cannot be inherited by women, it was only the boys who became the principal.
No one would have regarded that as a problem, and male inheritance would have become a natural trend.
However, there was no magic inheritance in the east, and purely house inheritance was required.
However, it seems that there were times when there were disputes between brothers when inheriting the house, and when a new master was born, the other brothers often died suspiciously.
It would be terrible if the new owner, who would be the only boy in such a situation, left the world in sickness.
Your home will be cut off.
For this reason, although it is basically a preference for men, it is also accepted that women will be the head of the company.
Women are also allowed to claim to stay in the house, and can inherit the house only if there is no man.
And when the woman hath taken a son-in-law from some house, and hath given her a son, her son shall have a claim, and shall be able to make the next generation.
Therefore, it seems that the Fontana United Kingdom, which has become a completely male society, looks different from the viewpoint of the Brillian Magic Kingdom.
"But, if you're going to create a strong country, split inheritance is bad, right?" Even the royal family will be divided every time it is replaced, right? It doesn't seem to be completely equal, though. "
"Yes, the division of the territory will not relieve you from the degradation of your power." If you want to create a strong country, it is likely that a different mechanism is better in many cases. ”
"Well, then maybe the Orient should inherit from its eldest son?" Why don't you suggest to Congress that we make a law like that? "
"It will be possible to put it on the agenda. However, it is uncertain whether we will get approval. People who are members of parliament are not necessarily firstborn children. In addition, there are many people who have first-class citizenship to elect members of parliament, except for the eldest son, so there is a possibility of buying disgust. It is unclear how many votes will be cast, given the likelihood that the deputies who voted in favour of the agenda will be out of office in the next election.”
Maybe you should stop splitting your inheritance to make a strong country.
That's what I thought, but Eye says there's a good chance of a bigger rebound.
Well, that's true.
Until now, the parents' property could be divided and received by all the brothers, but if a new law was passed, there would be no sharing except for the eldest son.
If you listen to the law like that, most people will rebel.
However, there is a Barca Church in New Barca.
In addition to the church buildings built in other cities, there is also a large church that can be used as an inheritance ritual and a facility called a church.
Those who get married at a wedding there have the effect of an inheritance ritual, and children born from that couple have the right to inherit.
At the moment, there is no other place where we can inherit.
Therefore, the magical connection that has spread to the east by the name will gather its magical power to the people of New Barca City by the time the current generation dies.
At that point, we might be able to establish an inheritance system for our firstborn like the Fontana United Kingdom, along with inheritance rights.
Well, aren't we still at the stage of putting it on the agenda?
In the meantime, there's a system like that, and I decided to keep it there so I could talk about it.
