For instance, I am a dictatorial republic in America, could I declare myself king instead of a simple dictator ?

I saw somewhere that one of the devs was having fun playing the US as Monarchy, and saying that the system we players will like (how it turns into one I think).For instance, I am a dictatorial republic in America, could I declare myself king instead of a simple dictator ?
I am pretty sure that in vanilla Vic2 rebels could not turn a democracy or dictatorship into a monarchy.Victoria 2 allowed rebels to install monarchies, and there are republics that become monarchies during the game's time period (e.g. Mexico, France), so it's likely to exist in some form.
That link does outline the way Vicky 2 rebels could turn a nation into a monarchy, though. From the Absolute Monarchy entry, rebels that force this form of government are listed as rebels with HM's Government, Presidential Dictatorship or Prussian Constitutionalism. It was a roundabout method, but a democracy could flip to monarchy by triggering and losing to two Reactionary rebellions in succession.I am pretty sure that in vanilla Vic2 rebels could not turn a democracy or dictatorship into a monarchy.

If reactionary rebels overthrew a country with presidential dictatorship, then absolute monarchy is enforced. I don't know if it's possible for a presidential dictatorship to spawn reactionary rebels, though. Presidential dictatorships were not allowed to pass any reforms and reactionary rebellions only start to roll back reforms.I am pretty sure that in vanilla Vic2 rebels could not turn a democracy or dictatorship into a monarchy.

That is very possible. I finished the last 2 games in Vic II as the Kingdom of America and as the Kingdom of Argentina.If reactionary rebels overthrew a country with presidential dictatorship, then absolute monarchy is enforced.

And France.But a presidential Dicktator just might want to make himself King, so a revolution should not be needed. Haiti did it this way I think.
I dont think it would be even remotely plausibleThe United States ought to have an extremely hard time getting their populace to support monarchism, but I think it should be possible to at least try monarchism there.
How long that'd last, would be another matter.
No, Brazil did not turn from republic to monarchy.The brasilian empire comes to mind
The Brazilian Empire was the Portuguese Monarchy setting up shop in their own colony and then not wanting to leave.The brasilian empire comes to mind
The romans were also very opposed to the concept of monarchy. They would never have agreed to being ruled by a king. The US in a similar way could probably be ruled by something functionally equivelent to a monarchy, it would just need to be aesthetically distinct from their recongized (and despised) concept of monarchy.I dont think it would be even remotely plausible
Like Napoleon in France. He made the anti-royal revolution in France stand behind a royal empire. From the perspective of 1793 France, that sounds like a bad joke.The romans were also very opposed to the concept of monarchy. They would never have agreed to being ruled by a king.

"Oh no no no, I'm not a king, no sir. I'm just the hereditary lord protector with absolute executive power and the authority to dissolve the legislature."
