The Duchy of Illinois and the County of Cook

Hereditary rule lives! And the son shall follow the father as the Count of Cook... the son-in law of the ward boss shall remain Duke... the daughter of the Majority Leader shall remain the barrister...

UPDATE: My torpid county - a flabby, Mostly All Republican Sort Of place - remained so.

UPDATE II: Bah. I should think not!

UPDATE III: How could I forget another son...
