I am revealed to be Rhaegar.

And then Scip gives Westeros the Libertarian government it deserves.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Probably my annoyance that every fantasy discussion thread I´ve read/written in the last 15 years always get populated by Martin fans screaming the glory of the series and eating up all the other actually interesting shit like a horde of cyberlocusts.

Do you think so little of Westeros?

- Every bit character is either someone else, or the son/daughter of an important character. Half the cast of appropriate age are sons of Rhaegar.

They are also all each other's twins but some of them have been in a coma/had plastic surgery.

What fantasy series would you recommend?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The one where Martin finishes the books.  Failing that, Gene Wolfe's The Wizard Knight, or Book of the New Sun, or Long Sun.  Latro of the Mist series is good as well.

What fantasy series would you recommend?

Office of Management and Budget, Federal Budgetary Projections, 2001 - present.

Great mix of sorcery and horror with each serial presenting a cliffhanger ending.  Only downside is like Martin, it probably won't come to resolution before the bloated creature keels over.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Can Jon be a legal son of Rhaegar rather than his bastard?
Is there any way, according to Westeros laws, that Rhaegar could have married Lyanna before giving birth?

If Rhaegar's giving birth, we've all got bigger problems.
