21. The Serrano Legacy novels by Elizabeth Moon

Most of the action takes place in a constitutional monarchy/corporatocracy - but on their borders are a mafia-like region, a technocracy, an insanely over-macho "New Texas" setup, and a variety of anarchies.

Over the longer story arc, it delves into the effects of super-longevity on a society built on hereditary titles - how can you inherit when your parents refuse to die? How can you advance in the military when the upper ranks are 150 years old and have many healthy years to come?

Pretty interesting, and sounds like just what you were asking for...
