Basically, everyone marries each other to cement the People's tie against the influence of foreigners, which will mean we have to fight harder against discrimination of foreigners.

*Hugs* shh it's okay, I switched at least.
Have a tally. It's 19 for Atti vs 14 for the girlfriends. So only three people need to switch to pull ahead.
Which is inbreeding invitation. No danke.

That's.... pretty far really. Sounds like a mid-size modern country to me.

Now this is a good reason to switch. Family first would seek to create power blocks rather than smoothing out the edges through normalization of a system that has been in place for centuries

the provinces are not, only peripheral states are.
Provinces: Valleyhome (split into lower and upper; one province); Redcoast, Sacred Forest, Stonepen, Northshore, Southshore, March, Blackriver, Eastern Hills (regrettably not yet shortened).
Total = 9 but March is semi-independent, so functionally 8.
8/2 = 4 provincial actions.
Adding one more province = 9/2 = 4.5 rounded up to 5 provincial actions.
Expected new province availability: East of EH; West and/or North of BR; East of March.

No. That's not how it works; thinking that's how it works is forgiveable for IC Ataturk who lacks history book about 1000 years of 'everyone marries each other' and how it worked out (it didn't and very messily so), but not for us OOC who can open a textbook and realise that it only leads to the sides being intertwined in the most convoluted ways possible...along with informal alliances of powerful families to overthrow the king (which are not even necessary for our system, lol) and other garbage.
People wouldn't complain when they're forced aside for someone's incompetent son?
Only if we made it that every People was family.
1) Marry the majority of them to her son.
2) Marry the Nomad princesses to Northern chiefs instead
3) Marry all the chief families to each other(this is most effectively done by having a chief marry the daughters of his fellows to maximize number of interconnections, and the only way to meaningfully do this in less than 4 generations)

This? This is why I hate meta knowledge. We ar eusing meta knowledge to go "Nope, this is a horrible idea:" when logically in this era this was how things are done. This wouldn't be the utter disaster you're painting it to be, especially since it would work with our other values.

Symphony values different parts working together. A family is already a single thing.
ALso, I just don't want blood to be a defining trait for power and thus a limiting factor on our society.
Edit: "I hate meta knowledge" "this is how things were done in this era, so it's how we should do it"
hmm, that will work. Scale set and begging to processing to a finer zoom level.

Plus, doing it any other way - like marrying a couple daughters of one family in - is slightly more likely to lead to primogeniture as chiefs would try to get their daughters married to the person most likely to get power.

Nothing to do with it.
Hereditary monarchy means that the line has to drop once for Bad Things to start happening; we, as opposed to it, have never had a succession crisis IIRC.
Not one succession crisis in ~600 years of history is....not something that has ever happened to any hereditary monarchy? Or at least it's not all that common.
It would conflict with our other values.
And AN explicitly said that the other factions are cheesing various OOC strats like 'full Roman army' Xohyssiri or 'beeling metalworking' guys. It was never a game intended to be played purely with IC perspective, so I do not understand your complaint at all.

Why would the incompetent son (or daughter) get picked over a competent one? This would actually reduce the likelihood of people plotting assassinations or doing shady things to cut someone off from power, because while they would benefit they'd be damaging the system our country runs on.
Because all of the competent ones already have positions. This is really simple.
Family first means family over society.
