Ok, I got two ideas brewing and 'm wondering which to you guys sounds more appealing.

First idea is a "Crowned Republic" An mix of a democratic monarchy of sorts where rule of the nation is rotated between the local Minor Houses every term or more by vote. Although it's the Houses themselves that vote for the next ruling house rather then the people.

Second Idea would be a Religious State that worships and is ruled by an ancient AI.

Which would you guys prefer?
