This can be in any polity that you want to create and leave in existence.
The challenge is to institute and maintain for a period greater than 300 years, a consistent Examination system that determines who is the most qualified in the dynasty to lead the family (and as such in many places, the country) and have that completely respected, or any obstructions unsuccessful.
The Examinations can be varied - but some elements of Military Strategy, Language, and Economics (or what would be equivalent) must be involved - additional inclusions (utterly optional) could be blood tests, chastity, theology, etc.
