Sounds a LOT like feudal Japan, where at one point you had multiple layers of figureheads:
1) a divine but powerless Emperor as figurehead for
2) the Shogun, technically merely head of the military government but in practice chief of state—except that
3) since the Shogunate was hereditary, the real decisionmaking fell on a young or weak Shogun's advisors.
