    Rota, my problem with benevolent dictatorship is that of succession. Unless I am mistaken, there has never been a case in history of any nation having two in a row....
    Actually Ms. FoxyBunny, I can name a succession line of five sovereigns who were benevolent, sagacious and morally upright: the rulers of the Nerva-Antonine Principate [96-180 CE] or Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
