Not really, but based off of other govs it works better than most. A elective monarchy is like a democracy, but it allows only a select few people to vote typically skipping over the stupid.

Just submit to the United Kingdoms of the British Isles and you get to have the Immortal God-Empress of Mankind, Elizabeth II of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha.

Nah, then we can't be westeros. Btw find it weird that we are conveniently building a massive wall? I think we're trying to protect ourselves from white walkers...

The wall is on the wrong border for that.

Unless you are the white walkers...

Romans beat you too it, we've got Hadriens Wall that was designed to keep us Scots (Picts at the time) out.

Also, the Mexicans have already been building tunnels under the Mexican-American border anyway.

[Valrifell]

Hey wait a minute, isn't it illegal for US citizens to hold titles of nobility?

[Corporate Societies]

I absolutely hate absolutism. Anything without democracy needs to be FREEDOMIZED.


monarchies are for eurotrash, anyway.

Yeah, but... it's not awesome...

We'll burn the tunnels. The god of light demands it.

[Holy Tedalonia]

I don't think so...

Article 1, Section 10 prohibits the states from granting any titles of nobility to anyone, whether they are citizens or not. Section 9 of the same article has the same prohibition for the federal government. So, an American citizen cannot be named a Prince, Duke, or any other noble title by our own government.

Checked the gov can't grant noble titles, but I think you can hold them still.

[Imperial Esplanade]

I honestly can't tell if you're being completely serious or if you're joking.

[Ethel mermania]

I am so ready to engage in some wanton revolutionary destruction, you have no idea.

I do not see it as destruction though

We really need to work on your "oppressing the masses" skillset

There were very few actual Absolute Monarchies.

How unfortunate.

[Cetacea]

the Americans are revolting

do we really want Them to share our glorious Common wealth?

although we have seen Princess Henry's richly minted booty and its quite worthy

[Prusswitonsiakekingkailand]

Thank you my loyal servant how do you feel about governing San Francisco ?

Wait, shit, are you handing out fiefdoms?

You know what, fuck it. I'll be your 100% loyal vassal if you give me all of Indiana.

Draw your pistol sir, there can only be ONE King of Indiana!

[The BlAAtschApen]

I'll have drones for that.

Obviously if Harry Windsor ascended to the throne of the United States he would be Windsor I, by the grace of God Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.

You all disrespect the memory of the one true monarch of America, Glorious Emperor Joshua Abraham Norton.

What's that from again?

Real life. Joshua Norton was an English businessman who moved to San Francisco around 1849. When he lost his fortune he went a bit mad and in 1859 declared himself Emperor of the United States, and later added 'Protector of Mexico'. He was a destitute loon, but even then San Francisco was a city of weirdos, so most people humoured him. He dined for free in the finest restaurants, had a box reserved for every play in the city, received salutes from police officers. Local US Army officers outfitted him with suitably imperial blue uniform with gold epaulettes. He issued his own money, which people accepted. The sheer force of his regal presence quelled an anti-Chinese riot. When he died the papers reported "Le Roi Est Mort", "The King is Dead". 30,000 people attended his funeral, at a time when the population of San Francisco was 230,000.

You'd like him. He issued imperial decrees commanding Congress to assemble to amend the laws of the nation to account for his status, and when they ignored him he decreed that Congress be dissolved, and when they ignored that he ordered Major-General Winfield Scott to muster a suitable force and clear the halls of Congress. Later he solved the divisiveness of party politics by abolishing the Democratic and Republican parties.

I just threw in the language for fun, you can talk how you like.

Thank you, we will. As soon as Meghan becomes Duchess of Sussex or whatever, you won't be needing those extraneous U's.

So she'll be Dchess of Sssex?

---

Monarchies world wide should be abolished.

But then what would Willem-Alexander do with himself?

---

I remember elective monarchies working so well for the HRE...

Ah yeah, can't beat a few hundred years of Habsburgs.

Willem Alexander can go back to talk about water. His background.

Draw your pistol sir, there can only be ONE King of Indiana!

I guess I'm the duke of Texas, then.

[Imperial Esplanade]

Whoever wants Louisiana has to go through me.

And my army of pet alligators.

And my squadron of blood-sucking mosquitoes.

Hey, want to do a political marriage and have our heirs own both Texas and Louisiana?

I wonder if there's a market for Orange Water...
