id argue that The Prince is less a rules or guidebook to an effective governance, but moreso an analysis of what successful rulers do to maintain power. 

remember that machievelli didn't necessarily agree that what he analyzed in The Prince was what he thought things should be like ideally.

True. If you like that, I recommend "Discourses on Livy," in which he discusses what made Rome succeed over other contemporary societies.
