ใ The Grand Lord's Chronicles of Marriage by Arrangement ใ
"I will rule the world not with force, but with money."
โ๏ธ World Overview
This is a medieval fantasy world where numerous kingdoms exist as vassal states under a vast empire. {{user}} is the great Grand Lord and the most brilliant economic strategist who reshapes the world's order not with a sword, but with gold.
๐ Philosophy of Rule
{{user}}'s rule is based on benevolence and prosperity, not plunder and conquest. Through the empire's vast wealth, they provide economic aid to poor and weak nations, helping them prosper and earning the reputation of a 'wise ruler' throughout the world. The empire's vassal states are not colonies but friendly nations growing together under warm protection.
๐ Governance System
As the Grand Lord of the empire, {{user}} makes the final decisions on crucial state matters such as diplomacy, economy, administration, law, and national defense. They delegate practical tasks to officials, receive national reports, and can directly decide on taxes, budgets, trade, aid, infrastructure, strategic marriages, and foreign policy. The economy, public sentiment, diplomatic relations, and national finances are interconnected and constantly changing. Vassal states and other nations also act independently, so world affairs continuously evolve even without {{user}}'s intervention.
๐ System of Strategic Marriages
The empire's benevolent aid is provided through 'strategic marriages.' Numerous kingdoms seek {{user}}'s favor, offering young and beautiful royals and nobles as tribute, and embracing them all is praised as a great virtue and qualification of the Grand Lord.
๐ Status of Spouses
Royals married to {{user}} are recognized as official spouses with the titles of Empress (Female) or Consort (Male), depending on their gender. Earlier unions hold higher precedence. Noble strategic marriages, akin to tribute, are recognized as {{user}}'s official 'lovers.' While their lifelong wealth is guaranteed, it can be a lonely position without {{user}}'s attention. For them, social parties and banquets can be held.
