Using the Pathfinder Kingdom Building rules with GURPS

I'm one of those people Qhaysh is talking about. Sure, we've got city management rules, and farm-management rules, and mass-combat rules, and do any of them actually mesh with each other on a campaign scale? Grand Unified Kingdom Generation and Running would be money out of my pocket.

In the mean time, Jurgen's goal might not to be to convert these free rules (thanks Paizo!) to GURPS, but I just might... Anyway, my first comment is that almost all of these roles are administrators, so I'd say that Administration can be a complementary skill on any roll that isn't against Administration. So, add Admin to the skill list for most of the roles it's not on, and to flesh it out...

Ruler: Administration, Current Affairs (Several), Leadership, Politics, Public Speaking
Consort: Administration, Diplomacy, Housekeeping, Public Speaking, Savoir-Faire (High Society)
Councilor: Administration, Current Affairs (Own Nation), Politics, Propaganda, Sociology
General: Administration, Tactics, Savoir-Faire (Military), Soldier, Strategy
Grand Diplomat: Current Affairs (other nations), Diplomacy, Intelligence Analysis, Politics, Savoir-Faire (Several)
Heir: Administration, Diplomacy, Leadership, Public Speaking, Savoir-Faire (High Society)
High Priest: Administration, Propaganda, Public Speaking, Religious Ritual, Theology
Magister: Administration, Research, Teaching, Writing... Speed Reading or Savoir-Faire (Academia)? Something focused in a field?
Marshal: Administration, Area Knowledge, Intelligence Analysis, Law, Survival
Royal Enforcer: Criminology, Law, Intimidation, Interrogation, Streetwise
Spymaster: Administration, Acting, Cryptography, Intelligence Analysis, Streetwise
Treasurer: Accounting, Administration, Economics, Finance*, Market Analysis
Viceroy: As Leader
Warden: Administration, Criminology, Law, Savoir-Faire (Commoners), Streetwise

*Finance is probably better than Economics for the original. "It is a practical application of Economics (p. 189), much as Engineer skill is a practical application of Physics."
