No one is demanding FR change its government type. Khari asked to be added to the Elder council like the theocratic rulers. As FR has adamantly stated every time the Church has tried to get them to do something (very reasonable things like don't let heathen priests preach in your realm, don't harbor enemies of the faith) that they're not a theocracy. The whole argument presented to the Elder council on the side of FR and not excommunicating Khari for allowing Allison was that they aren't a theocracy. FR made a HUGE deal when they were formed about being a republic.
That is an argument from game history. It's a perfectly valid point. Jonsu could make that point, but I haven't seen her make it yet.
Except the part, you know, that says, theocracy. Not republic.
This is not an in-game argument. It makes no sense for Jonsu to make this point.
See my point? Nothing forces you to accept Kharie in the Elder Council, but at least play the game, don't bring an OOC trump card to the argument.
