Tyrant,

I see you require a bit of education.

A Theocracy is the the exercise of political power on behalf of a divinity and governing according to Their principles and requirements.

A Meritocracy is a government selected on the basis of their ability and achievement.

Thus, the Dragon of the North is a government selected on the basis of their ability and achievement to rule on behalf of a divinity. In this case, Lord Severn. They are not mutually exclusive.

Please direct any further inquiries for lessons in a private manner to avoid any perceived public embarassment.

Very Respectfully,

Dhasan Wjoltyr Arcan, Grand Courser of Spinesreach
