I have noticed that there aren't a lot of issues that specifically target @@NAME@@ becoming a consitutional monarchy and therefore have written up this draft proposal. Yes, there are several issues that have the option to let one's nation become a monarchy, but I tried my best to have this issue be distinct. I would very much love to hear everyone's feedback on the first draft!

[TITLE] I Take You As My Crown, To Have And To Hold
[VALIDITY] Invalid for nations that have the monarchy policy
[DESCRIPTION] With the country being under the spell of the royal wedding between Princess Harriet of Great Imperia - a nearby island nation that once had a grand colonial empire - and @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Ties actor Morgan Murkle, a group of monarchists seek to exploit the nation's temporary but hysterical infatuation with royalty to push for @@NAME@@ becoming a monarchy as well. With enough public attention garnered around the issue - likely fueled by the adorable memorabilia being sold in honour of the royal wedding - you have agreed to a meeting in your office to discuss the matter, despite a very long and tiresome day.
[OPTION 1] "Do you see your people, @@LEADER@@? They're obsessed with the royals!" begins successful entrepreneur @@RANDOMMALENAME_1@@, while shoving a snow globe over to you which contains the princely couple, one of the souvenirs his company is selling. "But can you fault them for recognizing how successful they are? Great Imperia's royal family is a powerhouse economically speaking! They smooth over trade deals, polish up their country's image with charming smiles and polite handshakes, all the while having business contacts that even make Marcus Suckerberg blush! @@NAME@@ could benefit from a monarchy that way too, if we'd install one. We just need to make sure that the monarch's political power is clearly outlined in our constitution so that they'll, well, eh, you know... won't chop our heads off whenever they please!"
[EFFECT 1] the new @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ monarch is saddened to hear the constitution doesn't allow them to have ice-cream whenever they want
[Gain Policy: Constitutional Monarchy]
[OPTION 2] "No, I object to this marriage!" exclaims @@RANDOMMALENAME_1@@'s twin sister @@RANDOMFEMALEFIRSTNAME@@, a famous civil rights spokesperson who's rumoured to have sponsored several anti-monarchist insurgencies in Marche Noire. "Well, this marriage of state and crown, I mean. @@LEADER@@, you can't listen to my brother, he's just looking to make a profit off these poor misguided people! It's the 21st century for Violet's sake, the time of monarchies is past! No, what we really need in @@NAME@@ is to wake up our citizens from this purple-hazed stupor by giving them more democratic and political responsibilities, to show whatever kingdom is left out there how a modern state looks like!" she smashes the snow globe off the desk.
[EFFECT 2] foreign monarchies feverishly deny the existence of @@NAME@@ out of fear of sparking a democratic revolution
[OPTION 3] As a moment of silence falls upon the room and tiredness takes its toll, you notice one of your predecessor's portraits shaking their head in disapproval. "This is exactly what happens when you let the common folk have a voice in how the country is run. They burst into your office and start telling you what to do... But there's a way to stop their pesky meddling for good! You see, the @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ don't know what's good for them, they really don't. That's why they need a strong, guiding hand who'll decide for them. After all, there's no need to be bound by an insignificant, little Constitutional rule-book, now is there?"
[EFFECT 3] The @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ monarch often thanks the voices in their head during speeches
[Gain Policy: Absolute Monarchy]
