Monarch- I'm new on this, but I want to get into the game so I say let's use, the KISS method, elect a vet to run things, and get the ball rolling.

Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)

One council of only a couple of members to make all the preliminary decisions. Let's get this show on the road quick!!

For the constitution, why not just use one from a successful demo game?

Sucess is, like many things, in the eye of the beholder. Each demogame has featured a 'revised' constitution because we haven't found one that works perfectly yet.

I second that, but because from the thread-starters description about the monarch the elected ONE proposes certain stuff and we, the citizens get to vote whether we want that or not... Sounds good to me...
