Note that any scheme that involves voting can be converted into one or more random systems by replacing any or all of the votes with a random generator. Pick the king at random (from any of a variety of pools of candidates), pick legislators at random, elect legislators and let them compose and debate bills and then decide if they pass by flipping a coin....

OK some replacements seem less ridiculous than others, though I could see that last in a less degenerate case where you let the legislators votes count for something, but add some number of additional random votes to give the gods a voice in the outcome.
