a 'vicar' is a kind of viceroy administrator of what end up being the provinces (originally the inherited territories), streamlining national administration somewhat but also decentralizing power as the kingdom grew | |||

by 1760 or so something like, i don't know, 87% of eligible nobility voting for the vicar have been appointed by the king (Cywir Suthar-Màrtainn). so what you have in place is kind of a centralist monarchy with a nominal election system that is really just trading favors with prominent families | |||
so the Vicariate, once a powerful institution, is basically a succession rubber stamp by that 1760 date - essentially reduced from local princes to appointed governors | |||
This is all about on track with what I'm thinking, as by 1775 there should be no more direct ties between officers and their noble status, at least in terms of laws banning commoners or reserving positions. in practice most officers will still be educated nobles | |||
And to note, the previous culture across both major ethnicities was very much family-focused, organicist, and morally absolutist, which should heavily clash with a wave of actualism, mathematicism, and maybe even finitism (the idea of a non-omnipitent God) creating a philosophical rift between the gentry and the growing educated middle class | |||

in the 1850s or so there should be a pretty large reform movement saying yes, the monarchy is great, but we should expand who can vote for the vicar besides local royal appointees - every property owning male, perhaps. which obviously every royalist says no to, but this idea of a "Liberal Vicariate" basically becomes a major political fixation and for a couple years it's "yes, but what if the vicariate also had power to do X", "yes, but what if they could also do Y, have oversight of Z, etc" - The main rub being nobody could agree on exactly how to work out what the vicars or a theoretical representative government (at the time still a fringe movement) would work in particular, as you'd have constitutional monarchists mixing with radicals and even a few revanchist wanting the old vicar's crown electorate back, but the liberal vicariate idea remains the "respectable" liberal opposition idea | in the 1850s or so there should be a pretty large reform movement saying yes, the monarchy is great, but we should expand who can vote for the vicar besides local royal appointees - every property owning male, perhaps. which obviously every royalist says no to, but this idea of a "Liberal Vicariate" basically becomes a major political fixation and for a couple years it's "yes, but what if the vicariate also had power to do X", "yes, but what if they could also do Y, have oversight of Z, etc" - The main rub being nobody could agree on exactly how to work out what the vicars or a theoretical representative government (at the time still a fringe movement) would work in particular, as you'd have constitutional monarchists mixing with radicals and even a few revanchist wanting the old vicar's crown electorate back, but the liberal vicariate idea remains the "respectable" liberal opposition idea | ||

Constitutional Crisis of 1903: when writing constitution in 1829-1830, Rih (king) Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn agreed to put off the issue of extending the franchise to male landed voters for their local Vicars, because he was a liberal twit but not that liberal. In 1900, the issue was brought up at its due-by date and Rih Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn delayed and delayed because nobody else in the royal family ever wanted that, he was young and impressionable, and those rights would landslide into a massive loss of royal authority. He delays until trying to amend that part of the constitution out entirely in 1903, which launches massive protest before he concedes in late 1905. The Vicars demand their positions be secured by bloodline again to prevent retaliatory appointments (which were already occuring at that point), while other people are clamoring for industrial regulation, Constitutionalists are demanding all-male suffrage to elect Vicars, and Cananach's republican radicals are demanding the creation of a senate and the loss of the king's right to declare wars and levy taxes along with elected vicars. The Socialists want an abolished monarchy entirely. Ruaridh decides it's easier to just have the representatives the Vicariates sent to court hung for treason, and then orders the Socialist and Cananach + his inner circle rooted out and shot, because he's like 19 and his folks urge him to. He gets bombed, civil war commences. | |||

maybe the direct reason for the bombing of the king in 1906 is after a year and a half of major tumult, riots, etc, he finally decides to concede but only on the original point of landed male suffrage for the vicars, and when the vicars get together and say "we would like to also have authority over X, Y, and Z" - he says no, which is the breaking point for most radicals | |||
