PT6A posted:Out of curiosity, is there some reason why the crown has been passed from brother to brother, instead of from father to son? The Saudi royal line follows agnatic seniority for succession, as opposed to the agnatic-cognatic or absolutely cognatic primogeniture common in most of Western Europe.

VikingofRock posted:So for those of us that didn't play CK2, how exactly does Saudi Arabia's succession work? Like how do they determine who is in the family? Can uncles inherit? The sons of the first king, Abdulaziz ibn Saud, inherited in order of age, barring their exclusion from the succession, followed by their sons in turn, though supposedly via merit rather than solely by age. No brothers of ibn Saud are in line, nor are any descendants of any daughters.

blowfish posted:This can only end well. Keep in mind that they set up a commission to figure out how to get more heirs in line because the royal family is shrinking and there are attrition problems as people go crazy, develop chronic health issues, and other things that would seriously gently caress with kingship.
