Star Wars: The Child-Queen of Naboo

How does a planetary government come to the point where it elects a child Princess?
It will be a result of their cultural history. 
What do we know about Naboo? The Throne sits above a high cliff overlooking a waterfall dropping into a deep ocean into the centre of the world where giant fish and Gungans dwell.
So each year to appease the giant Gungan fish-god each of the clans of Naboo would select a female child. They would then vote on which child was thrown (or required to jump) from the top of the Cliff. After a millennia some annoying Jedi from the Republic showed up and killed the fish-god. But they didnt have a representative to stand for them in this Senate of the Republic or an acceptable means to determine this senator and the arguments were getting out of hand, but they did have the electoral mechanism in place to elect a princess as a sacrifice...
