Shoukoku no Altair, Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu Recommendations
Both are political military anime, but Tensai Ouji is a story of a ruler of a medium sized but kinda somewhat poor principality/country, bigger on politics and the MC is the ruler making decisions, while Altair is about the MC and a lot of his point of view, bigger on strategy and tactics and the MC is a talented general with some political status (a turkish pasha). His input in global politics is smaller, but still there.
In general Tensai Ouji is a political action show with comedy and character design-based fanservice (outfits etc, but very little actual ecchi outside of that). We get a ton
of diplomatic problems, be it expansion, aggression, internal factions warring, and the plot has tons of cliffhangers and 180 degree turns, which aren't bad but don't expect a slow burner with vision like LoGH.
Altair is story of a politican-general rising from a narrow-minded teenager to a very competent patriot who hates war but is still good at winning them to protect peace for his whole cultural sphere and tries to go for coexistence.
Tensai Ouji's Wein is a Lelouch kind of genius. He's very smart and so can manipulate the situation thinking a few large steps ahead and making reasonably cunning opponents move how he wants, but his victories are mostly leveraged on huge stacks of bets, bluffs and gambles and making full use of unexpected advantages. All of that calculated enough, but still gambles.
Altair's Mahmut is always skilled throughout the story, but he starts out idealistic, naive, straightforward and egocentric. While he still has to take gambles sometimes, he gets very pragramtic with increasing political and strategic elbow room by making good and decisions ahead of time.
