You realize the state you posted failed, right?

>lasts for 1000 years
>fails
ummm, what's that, sweetie?

...

>Failed state
>Lasts from 900 to 1800 AD

What did he mean by this?

It didn't last a thousand years you retards, at best it lasted 600 years. After 1648, it existed only in name.

That's still pretty damn long

-k

Six hundred years of infighting and civil war. And a true elective monarchy was only for two hundred years, basically from the Interregnum of the Hohenstafens after 1268 when prince-elector first became a title, formalized by the Golden Bull of 1356, beyond just "being elected by your fellow nobles" as was the case with the Hohenstaufen dynasty and before to becoming a rubber stamp for Habsburgs by 1444.

That's not a very long time bro. Evolved from being a rubber stamp election for the dynastic Salians and the Hohenstaufen, spent a grand total of at max 176 years (actually much shorter considering the Golden Bull) actually electing kings in a formalized process, and then become a rubber stamp again. And it wasn't very effective then, either. Prospective Emperors could do just about anything to ensue the loyalty of the prince electors especially if their own holdings were rich and powerful enough (like, you know, the Austrian habsburgs...)

So no. It didn't last a thousand years. It lasted 176 years before decaying.

Uhm, why are you posting turk's clay?

*proceeds uncontrollable feudal splitting*

>elective monarcy wor-

Can it even be considered an elective monarchy by 1648? The Habsburgs had been in power for pretty long and the election was basically only ceremonial

To be fair the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was severely weakened after the wars against the Swedes and Russians.

And their form of government prevented them from ever recovering

What you are showing is a loose idea, not an actual state.

The Ottomans lasted longer, and nobody calls them a well ran empire.
Or the Russian tzardom.

PLC wasn't elective monarchy during last partition

...

lasted only out of respect for tradition, the Emperor only had power over his own feudal lands, his vassals were fully independent in everything except the ability to call themselves kings(which is why the fake meme state of Prussia was invented)

oh and the Emperor was an absolute hereditary monarch over his feudal holdings as were all his nominal vassals, so it was more of a collection of absolute hereditary monarchies than an actual elected monarchy

All of the partitions were caused by it though.

...

some retort

Damn, you really showed me!

Your retarded post deserved nothing more

>Secular
>Germanic
>Confederation

uhm... it was sweetie. Constitution was revoked after the second partition

Wasn't Denmark elective for a while? That worked out alright.

All of Scandinavia was elective during the Middle Ages and it did actually result in alot of infighting.
