The King is dead. Today Louis XV, son of the Great Louis XIV the sun king died after only 99 days as the King of Lipvinity. The tradition of Lipvinity is for the oldest son to inherit the throne, yet in this case their is one problem.
Louis' only children are his 3 sons, triplets. With no distinguishable way to tell who is the oldest the 3 24 year old brothers have equal claim to the throne. To settle the dispute, Cardinal Marquses the chief advisor to Louis XV has suggested that Lipvinity be split into 3 great princedoms to be ruled over by the 3 brothers.
Louis-Phillipe, shall rule over West Lipvinity. He plans to rule by the grace of God, enforcing the word of God at everyturn.
Phillipe-Louis shall reign over central Lipvinity. The most cunning of the brothers he rules with an iron fist.
Finally, John rules East Lipvinity. He believes in Monarchy, but has no nobles as everyone except himself in teh political administration is elected directly by the people.

Such an arrangement has fuelled fears of either civil war between the brothers, or else the split of Lipvinity into 3 seperate Kingdoms. The brothers will rule by majority on national issues including war and foreign policy etc.

Official Statement from the Island of Rose:
"Wrestling match, last one to get pinned wins the kingdom. Or maybe a three way duel, or you can kill one prince and have a duel. Eh, we're sorry for your King's death... wait you can try democracy! Have them run for King! Just try one of the option up above, now if you excuse me I have to go to the bathroom..."
