Instead of retaining the only feature that marked them Saiyajin, their tails were removed. And so they look perfectly Human.
Trunks would have been first in line for the throne, and I would have been the example of the kind of king he would be. He would have his pick of a good, strong mate to bear their heir to our world's future. But his mother is his idol now; he shall follow her path. He shall pick a wife for himself and not for his people.
Bra would have been next in line and prepared to take over for her brother if he could not fulfill his duty. She would have received many courtiers for her hand and be mated to only the best, the one who could defeat her in battle. But Bra does not have to ready herself to take over her brother's presidency. She may pick any profession and choose any husband, regardless of strength.
In their chosen occupations, they will contribute to the world. They are not being trained in how to lead it.
This is how things are done and not done on Earth.
It is not Vejitasei.
A place only I remember.
Vaguely.
