Kwanstein, everything you have said is completely illogical due to the fact they don't give a !@#$ about any government changes except for a label that has some behind the scenes affects but otherwise does nothing to how the government is ran. Republic means nothing about how the realm is ran (every position but ruler could be appointed). How the government is ran is not what Vellos wants to change, he has already done that, he wants to change a label that makes no sense.
The government type is intended to be more than an arbitrary label, it is intended to represent the style in which a realm is governed in order to encourage players to keep in line with established canon. Changing the government type without hassle undermines established canon for the reasons I have listed. Therefore the requested change is indefensible from an RP perspective.
