I agree with some of this. Some of my OCs come from kingdoms that have prime ministers and/or parliaments.

I have some of my own headcanons too. One of them is that not all of the monarchies in Ever After are hereditary - there are also elective monarchies which choose a person (usually of royal blood) to be king or queen of a particular country.

Another headcanon of mine is that as time progresses and rulers get older, they withdraw from public life and their oldest son or daughter fills in for them.

Another headcanon I recently came up with is that the canon kingdoms, such as those of Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty, are located on the same continent. I call this the Ever After "nexus". Fairytales located in the nexus, which are based on popular stories, have special privileges in Ever After that are denied to fairytales from other continents. According to my notes, only a handful of authors are represented in the nexus - for example, Perrault, Andersen, and the Brothers Grimm have stories represented in the nexus, while Madame d'Aulnoy, Henriette-Julie de Murat, Charlotte-Rose de Caumont La Force, Andrew Lang, Giambattista Basile, and Consiglieri Pedroso do not.
