Lord and Lady Manager of Human Resources
Kingdom of Absolutopia
My monarch is Peter I ("The Great") of Russia. He rules in Russia and he ruled from 1682-1725, which is 43 years. Peter I was born in Moscow, Russia in 1672 and before his ruling, his father, Czar Alexis I, ruled Russia since 1645. Peter's brother, Theodore took over the throne from is father and ruled until 1682. When he died, Peter was the new King. Peter I ("The Great") is mostly known by the city he had named after himself. In 1703, Peter ordered a absolutist city to be built, and he named it St. Petersburg. I have done research on Peter I of Russia and believe he will be a great candidate for the job in Absolutopia.
I greatly believe that Peter I will be the best ruler of Absolutopia. If you are looking for a ruler who has features of Absolutism, than Peter I is the best candidate for the job of ruler. The features of Absolutism he has are having a powerful army, he limits power of nobility and church officials, he makes the laws and dispenses justice and finally he amasses wealth and uses it to display power. Peter I has a very powerful army, a troop of 600 men who trained in fighting units and learn military tactics. Peter formulated a plan for a great navy and that's what he got. He also used his army to attack Sweden and ended with huge victory. Peter loves having power and limited the power of nobility and church officials. He taxes nobleman and reduces power of nobility by opening it to newcomers (people who served in civil service and obtained high rank, or sailors and soldiers who became officers), and they gained the standing and privileges of heredity nobles. Peter also has no problem with making laws and dispensing justice. He uses torture chambers and has deaths by floggings and burning of victims. He also uses torture to get information out of people. His son was a victim of this torturing. Peter's son ran away, and Peter announced that if he returned, he would not be punished. This was not true, and when his son returned, he was tortured until he finally told his father who helped him escape. This was all part of an elaborate plan Peter had. One last law Peter made was the increase of taxes, which definitely shows the authority of an absolute monarch. Peter's favorite part of being an absolute monarch is most likely how he amasses wealth and uses it to display power. In the beginning of his time being an absolute monarch, Peter took the opportunity to go sailing on the White Sea and form the "Drunken Council of Fools". He later toured other parts of Europe, traveling through cities, looking at the life in his neighboring cities. Well into his reign, Peter ordered many buildings to be constructed and a new city St. Petersburg to be founded. This city was named after him, and Peter later moved the government to St. Petersburg and made that city the new capital. With Peter's great wealth, he could do whatever he wanted. Peter I ("The Great") of Russia was definitely an absolute monarch and would be perfect for the job of ruler of Absolutopia.
I believe that Peter I ("The Great") of Russia would be the right fit for the job in Absolutopia. He is a good candidate for the job because his characteristic fits the job of an absolute monarch and the way he rules fits under many of the features of absolutism. The features he follows are having a powerful army, limiting power of nobility and church officials, making laws and dispensing justice and amassing wealth and using it to display power. Electing Peter I ("The Great") of Russia for absolute monarch of Absolutopia would be an excellent decision.
Sincerely,
Olivia Sahagian
