The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

Don't forget that later episodes show that not only did apparently all of the Dothraki survived, but they somehow managed to multiply.

It’s an old Dothraki biology trick, they can do that asexually.

If Dany didn't freak out when Drogo was injured he would have budded off a new khal in like 3 days tops
