Feudalism and the vassal-lord system would not have been feasible in a continent-spanning political entity like Westeros. The Targaryans would have had no need to accept it while they were in sole possession of air domain dominance and would not have tolerated subordinate great houses raising armies and any that tried to do so— either to enforce their own rule in the provinces or march on Kings Landing would have been destroyed while bivouacked and vulnerable. The Targaryens would have established a centralized empire, likely with a small professional standing army to defend the wall and for emergency shows of force or insurgency not requiring dragons and local militia or police forces to maintain order/collect taxes.  They’d also have invested in a navy and trading fleet to defend the continent from external threats and seek revenue other than heavy taxation. 
 

So GoT is bullshit just like the reincarnated dire wolf.

Last one and I'll quit hijacking the thread with La Brea chat, but this helps show how absurd the preservation is.

This a 3D model of a 14,000 year old leaf cutter bee made from very high resolution CT scans. Each slice is 3 microns thick. 

Left is the eye, right is the abdomen. The flat spot in the middle is one of the wings. There are individual pollen grains and full internal organ system preserved. There is so much preserved detail, scanning and processing them crashed a supercomputer.

Red arrow is the eye. Blue is the wing. Orange is the abdomen. image.png.5e9dee7fd33b9a2de2c3fa4481d01ea1.png

You hijack any thread with this content anytime.  Thank you.

Lobo would approve. 600 lbs of sin. The wolf, not Lobo.
