If you're not a duke-level patrician, you could try seceding from the republic. You'd either end up normal republic, but IIRC, you're going to end up as a feudal character. You could also make a feudal character your heir and if his primary title is higher than yours, you should become feudal.

Don't think so but my only guess would be to lose control of the Republic and become a regular patrician, conquer some counties and keep the castles. Make one these your primary and give away all cities. Declare an independence war (not sure if possible) and hopefully flip feudal due to having no cities.

AFAIK all you have to do is change your county capital to a castle rather than a city.

I haven't ever played a Merchant Republic but from what I can tell the big problem is not going feudal, it's NOT going feudal by accident.

Papal sanctioned invasions on kingdom tier titles, when in patrician level as count or duke (and theoretically, baron) also makes you go feudal
