Classical liberalism. The individual before the state, non-interventionist, free-market based society.

In practice an absolute monarchy could very easily be highly libertarian, more so than a democracy ever could be, although the reigning principle is completely different.

Is there anything in particular you would like described?


Well, I'm wondering if you would set limits to technological development in any society you envision, once an absolute monarch comes to power? Groups like the Amish and others have done so quite well, in a manner that provides an unchanging equilibrium to their traditional societies.

Although, considering the scale of the collapse you and I both see coming, a limit to technology might not be a problem anyway.

I wouldn't attempt to stifle innovation, indeed I would rather patronise it. It was something of a tradition for lords and monarchs to provide a modest living for men of letters and science whom otherwise would struggle to scratch a living and I think that is a good tradition. That said with some technology development, as with any human activity, there is some possibility that there might be some socially disruptive effects which should be constrained by law.
