Hey, remember the thing they had in some parts of the world where officials couldn’t work in their home provinces? They’d get shuffled around every N years so they couldn’t build a power base and overthrow the king, and dealing with new people means that you can’t form the kinds of bonds lots of political corruption is built on? Does that policy have a name?

I’ve heard “rotation of tenure”, but that might be more the Japanese imperial/American military alternation of field service with court/Pentagon attendance.
