Based on the historical analogs in Europe, East Asia, and the Near and Middle East, would a centrally administered and appointed bureaucracy along the lines of great empires like the Romans and the Chinese have been more suited to a stable and united Westeros continent than the hereditary feudal system with powerful ex-monarchy lords that the Targaryens opted for?

How big is Westeros compared to Europe? It might be too big to rule effectively by a central administration, as the Romans found out.

The Iron throne only directly controls the lands around Kings-Landing, the other big families rule kind of autonomously.

More than suited.

For all his "BUT WHAT IS ARAGORNS TAX POLICY???" GRRM's Seven Kingdoms' government structure is nebulous:

Like you just have
>The King.
>The Great Lords
>and their lesser vassals.

And you've no fucking idea if the "Small Council" seats are like actual bureaucracies or just a bunch of lords fobbed off to do something.
