35. Executive power rests with a small odd number of men (three, five or seven, historically), so that while one man cannot hold all power, decisions can still be made quickly. Historical reference: the Directorates of the first french republic.

36. Rotating Kingship: several states have a single "Great King" who speaks for all of them on matters we modern folks would consider "Federal". This spot may be by seniority, or it may rotate in a fixed order. If its elected, we're right back to #15
