Overview

A diarchy is a form of government where power is shared between two individuals who rule as co-equals. In a diarchy, the two rulers typically have equal authority and are often referred to as joint rulers or co-monarchs. They may be kings, queens, or other titles depending on the specific context.

Diarchies can take different forms. In some cases, both rulers have equal decision-making power, and their joint authority extends over all aspects of governance. In other cases, the diarchy may be limited to specific areas of rule, such as one ruler being responsible for military affairs while the other handles civil administration.

Historically, diarchies have been rare, but there have been instances where two individuals shared power as co-monarchs, either voluntarily or due to specific circumstances. The success of a diarchy often depends on the ability of the joint rulers to work cooperatively and effectively together.

How to Open the Command Console

In CK3, cheats are executed from the command console, a text box that you type commands into.

To open the command console press the ~ (tilde) key, which is typically located under ESC (escape).

If your keyboard does not have that key, or pressing ~ does not work, try the following keys:

  • ~
  • SHIFT + 2
  • SHIFT + 3
  • ALT + 2 + 1

Type your command into the console, and then press ENTER .
