I'm trying to change the government style of a realm from republic to monarchy. However, I do not see where to do it. Can someone help?

This is not something that you can just do, like changing the official bird or how often the Judge is elected. The government type can only be changed when the realm is in Anarchy.

There are two ways to get the realm into Anarchy: Have a successful rebellion (with the rebels actually winning by force, not the ruler stepping down), or have an unsuccessful ruler election.

In the former case, the rebel leader then becomes the ruler and can decide the new government type. In the latter case, a special election is held in the capital of the realm for the new ruler, who can then, once again, decide the new government type.

ok. I was unaware of this. A referendum was held to be able to do this so I will have to figure out something else.

It should be noted that nothing stops you from cancelling elections and to give the title "King" to the ruler. However the official government style will remain a republic.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing  ;D

things aren't quite working out the way I though... Now I have a bug to report with changing the name.

This is not a new bug; however, I have not yet been able to pin it down.
