It is an interesting proposal,every kingdom building/nation management fiction I have seen here features either a Monarchy or a Dictatorship,and justifiably so,it is easier when you want your main character to be a ruler to implement those type of governmental systems where they are the head of state and government.Is there anyone who's interested in making story with this title ?
I've read some isekai stories and yet nobody is trying to transform the political state of the kingdoms from monarchy into democracy.
What do you think about it as an author ?
Republics exist within these stories,as do other types of more decentralized systems,however they are often portrayed as either corrupt oligarchies or simply something to differentiate from the MC's nation.
Establishing democracy would present a lot of challenges,not to mention that if the protagonist is a monarch,what would happen to them? Would they assume a ceremonial role in a Constituional Monarchy? Would they let the Monarchy be Abolished? Or would they maintain a half-measure and have the Monarchy be a sort of "Fourth Power" mediating between the other Three Traditional Powers?
Of course you could always tackle this in other ways like making the MC not be the ruler,and having their goal be overthrowing the Monarchy,making them a revolutionary figure. Not to say that simply abolishing the Monarchy would make that nation democratic,there other various steps to making it into one.
There are countless way this proposal could be explored,in a plethora of genres as well,and you should always remember that Monarchies and Dictatorships are not the only undemocratic systems,there are also Theocracies,Oligarchies,Corporatocracies,Kleptocracies,etc...
