Actually I expected MOB to point this out (although he is likely too busy preparing for the Gloranthan invasion of God Forgot, or whatever that overgrown Island Down Under is called), but if you want a RW model for that kind of politics, look at the East Roman Empire. There you have the multinational court composition, sufficient decadence, your choice of state religions and tolerated ones, and lots of political murder.
