| Feb 5, 2016 at 14:53 | comment | added | gktscrk | @CGCampbell, I have taken your comment more seriously though and edited the premise of the Papacy being discounted -- as well as clarified the aspect of Venice in this question. My original willingness to do this came from the theocratic nature of the state, but to be fair it is more importantly an absolute monarchy. I hope that makes more sense? | |

| Feb 5, 2016 at 14:44 | comment | added | gktscrk | Based on the answer below, my discounting of the Papacy is less valid than I thought it was. It was my general impression that the Popes were more or less shoved into place (pre-ordained, so to say), but @Adrian Todorov's example kind of puts that to rest. | |
| Feb 5, 2016 at 14:07 | comment | added | CGCampbell | I'm fairly certain that history itself proves your thesis as incorrect, or at least that a familial inherited rule doesn't stop States from becoming world powers. The problem is that there is no way to know if the rules of inheritance weren't there, would they have been more or less powerful. The single best example of what you want IS the Papacy and you discount it. | |

| Feb 5, 2016 at 10:54 | comment | added | gktscrk | This is a question about history, as I'm trying to find a historical example of a system of government. My guess would have been that a polity with such a policy would be more successful than one in which a single family (or only a few powerful ones) rule, I was trying to prove/disprove this. | |
