Part of me thinks if they had a say in the matter Eastern Europe wouldn't want to keep their monarchs. Of course that's assuming they still have a say (that depends on the radical SPD though)
If Germany and the radical SPD stopped imposing German will I think republican movements would quickly overtake the nations. They don't have a situation in like Flanders-Wallonia the German monarch heroically stayed back to fight against the pillaging invader. In Eastern Europe the Germans probably seem like the pillagers.
In AAR these are the things the German imposed monarchies in Eastern Europe have done.
The last good thing written about them that I recall was when Hassel made his "market reforms" in the 1940s and they got a temporary economic boost.
I'm not going to talk about Northern France except to say that almost every update that mentions Francois mentions how awful his relationship is with France or has something bad in France associated with him. The guy started his reign letting Paris starve and rot away because it was too expensive to do anything.
The idea that Germany can quickly be nice and everyone in Mitteleurope will be happy EU like community of nations where the plebs love their German monarchs is, to me, childishly naive.
Germany hasn't been a nice overlord. If the people get the vote they are going to rush out, damn the consequences (including economic).
This AAR started with the premise of 'cold ware between Canada and Germany.' I think the conclusion is that Germany lost, and the lack of compromise in the system of "Germans First" did them in.

- Suppressed local culture in the name of German culture
- Gave advantage to German businesses at the expense of locals
- Drafted their people to die in foreign adventures maintain German Imperialism
- Generally bowed to German foreign policy goals.
- Bringing their troops home with problems like drug addiction and STIs
- Shot Protestors and run them over with tanks for flimsy reasons
- All the general nastiness that comes with authoritarian dictatorships (abusive security forces, unaccountable officials)
- Had lackluster economic growth that they have protested (They are better off than OTL but you can't use what is a hypothetical to them as an argument for why they should worshiping Germany)
- Having all this imposed without any recourse.
