Hey first post!
Modern political systems often make a distinction between the head of state and head of government. Sometimes these roles are fused in a Presedential system but often in countries with Monarchies and Semi Presidential systems these roles are fufilled by seperate people.
Is it possible for different roles to emerge with similar prestige to the HoS and HoG? And is it possible to have multiple centers of power within the same state?
I'm thinking maybe a seperate head of the military or perhaps a head of Justice similar to the old Lord Choncellor or even an Iranian style religious head.
What other heads could you have? And how might they function within the state? Which roles would be powerful and which would largely become ceromonial?
Thoughts.
