In that case, is it really valid to count those monarchs as different governments and not continuations of the same system?

- chongli 8y agoYes. It's completely valid, since their borders, their laws, and the identities of the people were constantly in flux. Nothing at all like the continuity of modern nation states through successive governments.
- stcredzero 8y agoYes. It's completely valid, since their borders, their laws, and the identities of the people were constantly in flux. You've both made a good point and refuted the absolutist position at the same time. In general, if monarchs change and the borders, the laws, and the identities of the people remain the same, then it's really a continuation of the same regime. Really, "it depends."
