All planets and sectors should have leaders

[Strager]

Planets and sectors should be removed (along with governors) from the leader pools. Instead, each planet and sector should get a default leader. Depending on government type they have different titles with traits that make them different like leaders. So for example a Monarchy could have Viceroys for planets and Dukes for sectors. A republic meanwhile could have Mayors for planets and Governors for sectors.

Also depending on government type there should be ways of replacing these leaders. An Emperor can replace a leader at will but free pops on the planet get a happiness hit (Factions and ethics are modifiers). A President of a republic might have a referendum.

I really like this idea, the times i played i had few leaders assigned as governors

I made a suggestion along those lines a while back:

I really don't want to micro the leaders on every planet when I can have dozens of them. I would argue that each planet already has a leader but by assigning a leader from your pool you are giving it more competent leadership.

I would be all for more internal political dynamics like a civil war from a planetary leader or a coup overthrowing a democracy and replacing it with a dictatorship. I wouldn't expect the depth of CK2.

It is somewhat odd that you can have massive multi-planet sectors that aren't led by anyone...

Maybe each planet and sector should start with a random leader who has intentionally mediocre (sometimes bad) traits, whom you can then replace with a better leader as you see fit.
