well he is spiritual, so using switching between hereditary rule and representation is feasible. long term you should plan to exploit representation if you build the pyramids, however - its a much better civic. (probably right away it wil be better too, the +3 happy to 3 cities is usually better than HR. if you have 7-8 cities you need happy in you can use HR, but you should work towards building farms, libraries, and markets once you hve the pyramids).
with 2 civs warring and stone your chances of getting it are high, though.
You are mansa right? Pyramids witha financial civ is certainly unorthodox, although not necessarily wrong.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.
