Honest and Broad Minded Man Should Not Seek Preferment
A governor should not hold apportionment power as it risks packing offices for political gain.

Inheritance by youngest son rules Black Forest farms
The Black Forest peasant system passes estates directly to the youngest son, not the eldest, with the current head abdicating to retire beside the Hof.
