Also. It occurs to me I picked Savoy because, of the options available in the 17th-18th centuries, its starting conditions were most similar to Gondor's. (As recessional notes, there are still significant differences). If your fantasy country has different starting conditions, feel free to describe them to me and I will see if I can find a country that's a closer match and rec sources on centralization in that country. Options include: Prussia, France, Spain, Austria, Russia, Sweden that I can talk about off the top of my head and rec sources on.
