How about we get rid of the Electoral Vote . That would be great . It was supposed to be We the people . Not we bend over to government . <| sep |> They have those ? <| sep |> His sense of time in the books are off too . In the realworld , the longestlasting dynasty of continuous descent are the Japanese Emperors , and that lasted around 1600 years 2600 years according to mythology . Even then , there were periods of time with pretenders to the throne , rival branches , and when they were puppets of the Shogungovernment and held no political power . In Westeros , House Stark , House Lannister , and the Night ' s Watch have existed continuously , more or less in their present forms , for 8000 years . House Gardener and House Durrandon also existed for a similar length of time until 300 years prior to the events in the books . Furthermore , the 7 Kingdoms of Westeros have maintained their borders for thousands of years with a few exceptions , which is absolutely ridiculous . Just look at how much our world changed over 4000 years . And despite the long histories of everything , everyone is in disbelief that dragons have returned , yet they existed just 150 years ago . Another pet peeve of mine is the issue with languages . If Westeros is the size of South America , there is absolutely no way the 7 Kingdoms would share a common language . Take a look at this map of languages in Italy . Yes , languages , not dialects . While some of the languages are mutually intelligible , others are as distant as French is with Italian . When people learn Italian , they ' re learning the language that originated from the Florentine dialect of the Tuscan language . Most of them derive from Latin , but they splintered over time into multiple different languages . And of course , the same process occurred at a macroscale with how Latin evolved into French , Spanish , Portuguese , Romanian , etc . All of this happened in a matter of a few hundred years . It ' s just not realistic that a huge area like Westeros would be able to maintain a single , mutuallyintelligible language .
