Perhaps Slesvig can be a pornocracy. If it paid... ahem... tribute to the royalty, that's the only way I'd let it live. :p

A Paternal Autocratic state is a state that exercises quite a bit of control over it´s citizens in everyday life, often believing to guide them because "the state knows what´s best for you and you don´t". In many cases this comes along with a strong link to tradition and conservatism, but it isn´t necessarily needed, and Paternal Autocracies can be leftist, too. They can be "democratic" or dictatorial, but are always authoritarian.

Ah, that is rather a perfect way to describe The P. Danke schön!
BTW, in the name of clarity, I won´t give a title for St Discordia.

Good examples of Paternal Autocrat regimes are Castro's Cuba and Salazar's Portugal. Virtually any benevolent dictatorship may be associated to the paternal autocratic style.
