So... as you guys know, I still do plan to draw but I think I'll be reserving my drawings mostly for instagram now.

But I will think of creating a new account for photography here. I don't know how much I will be posting and I don't know if any of you are interested in photography, but regardless I can always find groups about photography and submit my photos to them.

So, if anything, I plan to move accounts. I know some will be disappointed and I apologize, but I might plan to move back to this account in the future but for now I will keep it open if you want to look at the gallery.

In law, the rules for inheritance works this way when it comes to coregency or co-governance:
1. If a monarch becomes such through inheritance, they can only become King or Queen of one territory (Cities, Counties, Districts, etc)
2. However, they can also gain the right to govern in another territory by marriage to another reigning monarch.
3. If a ruling King marries a ruling Queen or a Crown Prince of one place marries a Crown Princess of a different place, they cannot name their heir as the King or Queen of both the territories where they are recognized as the monarch. While some will try to resolve this problem of having more than one child, that usually makes things more complicated when they disagree on who to name as the Crown Prince or Crown Princess of which territory.

Here's an example where this works:
Keiichi is the King of Inkopolis.
He marries Azuki, the -reigning- Queen of Kelp (also known as Kelp City).
Through his marriage, Keiichi becomes the King of Inkopolis and the Kelp City and Azuki, likewise, is not only the reigning Queen of Kelp City, she also becomes the reigning Queen of Inkopolis.
However, they have a child named Enrique. Will Enrique become King of Kelp City or Inkopolis? Both state in their constitutions that he may not be the King of both!
So, they decide to have another child, Hideki. If Enrique becomes the King of Inkopolis, Hideki will become the King of Kelp City and vice versa. But what if Azuki wants Enrique to become the King of Inkopolis and Hideki to be the King of Kelp City, but Keiichi wants the opposite? Who wins in this case? Either they will have to come up with a solution or one party will end up losing.

Another possible scenario where co-regnancy can cause problems:
Keiichi and Azuki are both recognized as reigning Queen and King in both Kelp City and Inkopolis. Who is really in charge if they both have the same amount of power and the same duties? Is Keiichi the king of Inkopolis or is Azuki the Queen of Inkopolis?

So, here are the district laws on co-reigning:
Districts/counties/cities where co-reigning is allowed and recognized:
Inkopolis
Calamari County
Kelp City (or Kelp, where Kelp Dome is located)
Saltspray District (where Saltspray Rig is located)
Moray County (where Moray Towers is located)
Flounder District (where Flounder Heights is located)
Hammerhead District (where Hammerhead Bridge is located)
Urchin District (where Urchin Underpass is located)

Districts/counties/cities where co-reigning is NOT allowed, but the spouse of the reigning monarch will be recognized as a consort in the place where the monarch reigns if the spouse of the reigning monarch is a reigning monarch of a different place. (eg. In this case, if Keiichi married someone from one of these places, they would be recognized as the consort of Inkopolis while Keiichi would be recognized as King Consort in his spouse's territory. This is one of the few instances where crowning a King as a consort is socially acceptable):
Triggerfish District (where Camp Triggerfish is located)
Piranha District (where Piranha Pit is located)
Mahi-Mahi County (where Mahi-Mahi resort is located)
Blackbelly County (where Blackbelly Skatepark is located)
Bluefin County (where Bluefin Depot is located)
Mackerel County (where Port Mackerel is located)
Arowana City (or Arowana, where Arowana Mall is located)
*Cidade do Imperador (where Museum d'Alfonsino is located)

Districts/counties/cities where co-reigning is NOT allowed and a marriage between two reigning monarchs will not be recognized unless one monarch abdicates their position as King or Queen (meaning if Keiichi married someone from one of these places, their marriage would not legally be recognized in this place unless Keiichi abdicated his position as King or his spouse abdicated their position as a monarch).
Walleye City (or Walleye, where Walleye Warehouse is located)
Ancho-V City (or Ancho-V, where Ancho-V Games is located)

NOTE: Reigning Queens that abdicate their positions if married to a King will become Queen Consort.
*NOTE: Imperador is also another common name for Alfonsino

So as you know, the royal family isn't just restricted to Inkopolis. Each different district, city, or county has a recognized monarch as the main land.

Some things to note about the Monarchy in general:
:bulletpurple: The monarch's powers are limited by a constitution.
:bulletpurple: The monarch is obviously either a King (male) or a Queen (female)
:bulletpurple: In districts/counties/cities where there is no president or prime minister for whatever reason, the monarch takes on these duties. However, in places like Inkopolis the monarch and the prime minister or president are given their own sets of roles or duties. So in districts/counties/cities like Inkopolis, the political system is like a semi-parliamentary or semi-presidential system except instead of having a prime minister and president, they have one prime minister and a monarch (or there may be a president instead of a prime minister).
:bulletpurple: The consort does not have the same duties as the recognized monarch and has the same rights as a commoner. That being said, consorts can be special in their own ways. Some are firefighters, others are police officers, some even take commanding positions in the military. Consorts can also be candidates for the next prime minister or president unless the constitution states otherwise.
:bulletpurple: The consort of the monarch is generally either recognized as a Queen (female), or a Prince (male). A reigning Queen can title her husband King Consort but this is generally only done if a reigning Queen marries a reigning King and co-governance or coregency is not allowed in the place where she reigns, but their marriage is still recognized. More information on coregency can be found here
:bulletpurple: Generally, the eldest child inherits the throne unless he or she becomes permanently incapacitated, is given a life sentence with no parole, disappears, leaves, or dies. If he or she commits a crime and becomes incarcerated, either one or both of his or her parents or one or more of his or her siblings will serve as regent until he or she has completed their sentence and is able to be reintegrated into the community again. That being said, once the Crown Princess or Crown Prince becomes King or Queen, they can voluntarily abdicate and the next oldest child will become the monarch.

Some history about -these- monarchs...
:bulletpurple: In the early history of the monarchy, Inkling society was tribal and the monarchs did not reign over territory but rather over the members of their own tribes. The mate of the heir was generally not one of the Crown Prince or Princess' siblings, but rather an average male or female that was not a part of the Royal family.
:bulletpurple: However, a natural disaster caused a bottleneck effect within some tribes, leading to inbreeding that later resulted in birth and genetic defects, some of which were so severe they almost wiped out whole tribes so the remaining Inklings of those tribes decided to disband the tribes and decided to sign agreements as to who would own which land so they could figure out who would reign over which land and there, the advancement of Inkling civilization began. That being said, those tribes that were not affected by the natural disaster are not severely inbred and still remain, as I might reveal someday.
:bulletpurple: In ancient times when Inkling society was still primarily tribal, males and females had equal rights to the throne and both the King and Queen had equal say in decisions that would be made for the tribe, so the spouse was not a "Consort" but possessed the same power as the monarch who inherited their right to reign. However, an imbalance in the gender ratio was what changed the dynamics of inheritance within the Inkling monarchy.
:bulletpurple: When Inkling society first became less tribal and more advanced, the founding Inklings ended up having more female firstborns than male firstborns, and thus, there came a strong preference for females to reign as previously, the eldest had the right to the throne and crown. Male consorts were also often referred to as King Consorts and females were referred to as Princess Consorts.
:bulletpurple: That being said, a male could take the throne if he had no sisters after the death of his parents and the reverse was true as gender roles changed.
:bulletpurple: However, Inkling society became increasingly patrilineal because of another time period when there happened to be a greater proportion of firstborn males to firstborn females that were born within Royal families. Thus, the new Kings began changing the laws and customs so the monarchy could continue without the added inconvenience of having to keep trying again for a female heir and producing more mouths to feed.
:bulletpurple: Today, Inkling Royal families are neither patrilineal or matrilineal with maybe a few existing tribes that still practice matrilineal inheritance or patrilineal heritage. Instead, the modern, more civilized monarchy adopts practices both from the tribal and civilized monarchies.

And some extras about the Royal Families:
:bulletpurple: Not all Queens who are married to Kings are Queen Consorts. If a Crown Princess of District A marries a Crown Prince of District B, for instance and both of them recieve the right to reign in their respective areas, they will also recieve the right to reign in their spouse's territory. Keiichi (Crown Prince, later King of Inkopolis) and Azuki (Crown Princess, later Queen of Kelp, where Kelp Dome is located) and the Queen of Flounder District and the King of Moray County are such examples.
:bulletpurple: That being said, there are issues that can arise although they can be resolved the same way issues in marriage between commoners can be resolved.
:bulletpurple: However, there is one issue that is most difficult to resolve between co-monarchs and that is who to name as heir of who. This is explained in detail in this post.
:bulletpurple: Commoners ARE allowed to marry into the Royal Family as long as they are Inklings. All other races/species are prohibited from marrying into the Inkling Royal Families. However, they are only recognized as Consorts.
