In case you missed this:And no, there were no great protests because the country was too busy with its own issues.

Isn't that exactly when countries have protests? When they have issues?

Your source says the religious types were weakened. At the apex of their strength, why didn't they revolt on support of the Caliph in the first Turko-Egyptian war?

It really isn't a big issue. Egypt is currently in dire straits with a largely unhappy population who will certainly not want to war with the Islamic Caliphate (to which they swear loyalty) for the sake of a despotic and oppressive regime which isn't even Egyptian.

Funny, I don't remember huge protests in Egypt when the 1876 Ottoman constitution was made. Haven't seen a source yet.

Meanwhile, in EUIV, France is in a personal union with Castile.

@Boerd I know they are, but the Egyptian people are currently ruled by non-Egyptians in an absolute monarchy, and there is a very strong Egyptian educated middle class who seek after democracy and the return of the 'true' Caliphate. It is not far from likely that they could rise up against the autocratic monarchy and accept Ottoman democracy, meaning they basically get to elect a ruler (a Vali) as well as six members of the lower house.Tunisia is a different matter as the Bey was relatively loyal to the Empire and would probably put up no resistance.

I have heard neither. May I have sources?

Kho, you are going to have to fight the Egyptians to subjugate them. They are de facto independent.

Britain was already democratic under Victoria.

You know what he meant. The new Edwardian republic, the abolition of the monarchy.

On second thought, the GM has said most support democracy. While I disagree that would be the outcome, if Outcast declares it so it is so.

It would be unreasonable, because Alfred would rule the whole empire. Under the Act of Settlement, 1701, an Abdication would require an act of Parliament. Edward need Parliament's permission to abdicate and while it would be granted, it shows that Parliament is firmly in the driver's seat and business will continue as usual. Alfred becomes King, a regent appointed.

This sounds logical. The people of Britain would prolly long for a return to the status quo. In addition, as it was said...the actual government would win. So...have the original parliament declare Edwards republic as illegitimate and shut it down?

Pretty much.

Whether the colonies can be maintained is one thing. I suspect Australia, South Africa and Canada can. India is a maybe, but the army will maintain order in the Home Islands.
