[Title] Some More Equal Than Others?
[Description] While on a casual stroll with your cabinet, you bump into a well-dressed individual distributing anti-socialist pamphlets. After exchanging apologies, the person is promptly arrested for spreading bourgeois propaganda. However, upon glancing over the pamphlets, you realize that this individual is claiming to be the rightful monarch of @@NAME@@!
[Validity] Only valid for nations with the Soicalism policy and with the Monarch policy.
[Option] The People’s Secretary for Equality and Timely Solutions begins whistling innocuously, "O-okay, so not naming names, but it’s possible that someone... may have forgotten to actually deal with the old royals. But it’s not like they still have their old status enshrined in the law. All are equal here!" @@HIS@@ aid interrupts, whispering into @@HIS@@ ear, "Okay, so maybe they have their status still enshrined in law. But l-look, it’s not too late to send this monarch on a... permanent vacation. Let’s just solve this problem now and let bygones be bygones!"
[Effect] anyone claiming to be a royal of @@NAME@@ wins a free vacation to Maxtopia and is never seen again
[Policy] Removes Monarch policy
[Option] "Perhaps we can use this," says your Minister of State Propaganda, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "This one just needs to be... educated on the glories of the people’s struggle. I’m sure a popular royal family could be a very suitable mouthpiece for us. Hm. Yes, the perfect socialist celebrities to distract - I mean, inform - the people. They’d have to be kept under a tight leash, but so long as they tow the party line, we could have something here."
[Effect] the royal family of @@NAME@@ is only capable of mentioning how great socialism is
[Option] "You know, you kind of look like this chap," begins the Chairperson on the Anti-Nepotism Committee, who happens to be your nephew, "and Great Auntie Matilda did say we were royalty on my second-cousin thrice-removed’s side, or was it my third-cousin twice-removed? Either way, with the power of a monarch, you could guide the people to a better tomorrow. You must take the throne of @@NAME@@, think of the caviar, uh, people!"
[Effect] @@LEADER@@ is the most equal member of @@NAME@@
[Option] "Listen here you scoundrels!" Exclaims the restrained monarch of @@NAME@@, "I just wanted to return to an earlier time, a better time, where the peasants knew their place and the rightful rulers oversaw them with tact and elegance. Nevertheless, I’m sure we could come to some kind of agreement here and I’d even be willing to throw in some estates and titles for your efforts! So long as all the wealth and land you lot ‘redistributed’ is given back, of course"
[Effect] citizens of @@NAME@@ are shocked that nothing has really changed for them during the transition from socialism to feudalism
[Policy] Removes Socialism, adds Feudalism.
Back at it again with an issue about Socialist Monarchies, a reworking of the idea in this thread. Feedback welcome, unless if it's about the scope being too narrow, or if it's too mean.
The options can be summarized as follows: Socialism, SOCIALIST monarchy, socialist MONARCHY, Capitalist Monarchy, fuck it Feudalism. This one is less concise than the previous incarnation and also attacks the idea it in a different way, but I like this framing better honestly.
