A list of goverments you won't see in the game becuase it is hard enough to get people to go along with existing stuctures....

Newspawnarchical - The only unchangeable rule is that the newest new spawn is next in line for rulership. The culture treats the young at a higher class level than the old. The old however know more about what is going on of course so there is an interdependce. This goverment has the best kept records in Cantr as they are always training the newest newspawn to rule and the status of things. There are auxiallry rule around newspawn sleeping, dying, and not talking. Basiaccly a newspawn assume power at 21 years of age so there is a constant line of ascention to the throne. After you are bumped from rulers you take a leadership role of judge, captain of guard, etc. until another former ruler bumps you.

Birthdayarchrical - The ruling class is drawn from only those born every 20 days. But the oldest rule the youngers. All other caste are also decided by which day a person was born on. The ruling caste decides the roles of the the other castes as a whole not individually. - See variation Birthhourarchical

Pelicanhurtarchical - The ruler is decided by whoever get hit by the Pelicans. Pelcian harming is punishable be instant death. The previous ruler is in charge until the new ruler speaks. THe previous ruler must give the best weapon and shield to the new ruler and feed them.

That's all I could think of. Got in others?

Are there any theocracies in Cantr? Anyway:

Rule by speed: The first suggestion is taken. For example, someone would ask, "What should we do about the animals?" Whatever the first responder said, like "Drop all our weapons and shields, then sleep," would be the decision of the town.

Rule of the best dressed: The ruler is chosen by a beauty pageant. In Cantr the only criterion would be clothing.

Survival of the weakest: Whoever has the least health is the ruler. If more than one person looks weak, the first person to be killed by repeated punching is made the ruler posthumously, with the survivor acting as the regent.

Russian Bear Roulette: Every takes a swipe at a bear with their fist, whoever kills the bear becomes the next ruler. That ruler is in charge until the next bear is killed. No bears may be killed if there are less than three at any one time.

Ruling by the person who spoke the least[inactive]. They wouldn't get anywhere.

Ruling by the will of the wildest animals. No survivors.

Ruling by the will of the people. Lol, like that'll ever legitly occur.
