I'd enjoy playing a reflection of the Ottoman Empire. A vast and wealthy power who has just suffered humiliation and loss of land due to fighting on the wrong side.

Definitely plausible my man.

Here's one of the mechanics I  have done:

[b]Political Support[/b]:
It is as it sounds. Every nation will have a [b]Parliament[/b] comprised of [b]60 Seats[/b] as a mechanic. Fluff wise, if you want it to be 50, or 100 or whatever, that's fine. It will look like this:

You may spend [b]Cash[/b] to have your party win seats. Let's assume for a moment that your ruling party is classified as the yellow party, which has 21 seats, or [b]21 Political Power[/b].

You may spend those on [b]Policies[/b], which will help your nation. If you drop too low, you will not be able to retain a majority during the next Election Cycle.

That's all.
