Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

You decide to send the Army now and do not wait till the rebels consolidate.

1212 AD, Late Winter

As the officials, noblemen and officers in the audience room kneel to declare their unconditional submission to you, and those who disagree with your absolute rule, oh Emperor of Methiant-Cydwyl, you realize what have you just achieved.

No longer bound by any law or precedence, you are the Judge, the Administrator, the Governor, the General and the Ambassador. No one can contest your word, be it spoken or written, and to disobey you is now equal to treason, regicide even.

You are the Law.

You are the People.

You are THE EMPIRE.


The traditional Administrative Monarchy of Methiant-Cydwyl has been abolished in favor of Absolute Monarchy! This drastic change of government has lowered national Happiness by 4 and your Authority by 2.

Imperial Authority now can reach -3 and +3, providing diplomatic bonus/malus at respective maximums, but your absolutist and oppressive centralization policy will mean people will be harder to placate.


The Army is fighting at the border with Donuthian and Ionithian duchies, and reports come from around the Empire that some people are grumbling aloud at the fact you've cast aside the half-millenia long traditions of the region just to further centralize your power.

Still, no rioting immediately occurs.

Your loyal courtiers approach you shortly after Oath of Fealty; while the Army is fighting near the capital, they believe it shouldn't overextend itself and instead we should call upon our family in Helliste, or maybe in Eldrican, to put pressure upon the rebels from, respectively, north and west.

A) That is a good idea. We will send a request for assistance from Kingdom of Helliste at once.
B) Splendid idea! Let's ask our relatives to lend us a hand, and maybe, just maybe, I will return the favor one day.
C) That is a good idea. We will send a request for assistance from Kingdom of Eldrican at once.
D) Pft! I'm the most powerful person in the most powerful nation on this planet! We need no assistance!

Are we the bad guys in this situation?

No, we're great. We are the state.

[Basil ii]

A I do hope that this works

Whhaaat? But you can't get into Absolute Monarchy from Administrative Monarchy without first switching though Despotic Monarchy!

But more seriously, this is fine, I would have rather eventually transformed into a constitutional monarchy, but going more and more feudal like the nobles wanted would have been a step back from any progress we wanted to follow.

A While I am sad to see the fine tradition of Administrative Monarchy go it's better to have become the more similar, centralized, and stronger Absolute Monarchy than the weak Feudal State that the nobles wanted to force on us.

you know what would be good to offset this drop in happiness and the concerns that we will abuse or power?

A bill of rights.

No.
