I’m thinking of making a nation in my setting that, instead of having a hereditary monarch, passes on the throne to a member of one of the noble houses who has passed certain trials that weeded out the candidates less-suited to the role. The only problem is that I’m having trouble thinking of suitable challenges. One idea I had was a series of mock battles to test their skill in military campaigns, along with maybe a test of their personal capabilities in combat, and possibly something tied to the economy, but what else might work, not to mention the process of administering the trials?
