I do not know the town names, so just quickly what province is your capital in? Is it a coastal province?
I also got that screen in a Venice game after assassinating the dodge and becoming dodge myself. When reloading an autosave and doing it again there was no problem the second time.
Certainly.

It might be caused by this. As you may know, Novgorod famously went through a Republic era and it was the northernmost port of the Hanseatic League. Unfortunately, Novgorod itself is not home to a port in Crusader Kings 2, so I had to move my capital to Narva to recreate this little event in history. Once I had my capital in Narva and reformed into a republic, and upgraded both Narva and Novgorod to town-level, I used the option for a free capital move back to historical capital - which again is only adjacent to a raidable large river, not a true port.
One solution to this is to simply remove the game over screen for people who own The Republic, I guess. My game didn't end until I unpaused though, which was why I didn't make the connection right away.
(Merchant) republics NEED to have coastal capitals (a number of calculations run off distance to capital over water). You ended your game by moving your capital inland.
Although it would be nice if Paradox clarified the end game messages (and of course stopped people from committing suicide like this).
As an aside, TL_
this:
does not mean this:
the latter means 'I converted to a republic and then did a bunch of other stuff and then ended my game through an illegal capital move'

It wasn't illegal, it's a valid capital move. I didn't cheat or exploit.
The game ending message was: "You have converted to a Republic, and therefore cannot play", not "You have moved inland, and therefore cannot play". So if you want to complain about my semantics, why not aim your complaints at the people who wrote the game-ending message?
Also for your benefit, the definition of therefore:

Republic is not Merchant Republic. You are allowed to play merchant republics, with their capital on the coast. Inland republics are not playable.
