Don't confuse light banter for a lack of understanding or analysis of Imperial realpolitik, especially on a thread I started on the very subject.

Hence, you're an idiot.

So, please contribute to the discussion or continue being irrelevant.

If only vassals are to be involved in the decision making process then why are The Civil Service, The Theology Council, The Ministry of Internal Order, The Ministry of War, The Imperial Chancellery, The Ministry of Assessment, The Amarr Navy and The Amarr Trade Registry all given seats on the Privy Council and not just heirs? Much fuss over the head of a long established practice I would say, were someone to seek my opinion.


Those are imperial (public) entities. They answer directly to the throne and administrate the whole Empire.

You will probably see more or less similar entities below in the liege/vassal pyramid, but under the rule of lesser Holders to help them administrate their demesnes. Local laws fall under their jurisdiction, until they start to be relevant to upper institutions belonging to the liege of the vassal, and then they start to fall under the jurisdiction of the liege.

As far as I know it is not unheard of minor Holders being vassals of lesser Holders, being themselves vassals of regional Holders, being themselves vassals of Heirs, who are eventually vassals to the Throne.
