Japan was "just" another example that the contest between republicanism and monarchism (/imperialism) cannot be resolved internally?
What would be a historical counterexample? (I don't think the British commonwealth counts either, Suez was the final nail, but the hammer wasn't British)
Looking forward, if the Vatican becomes even more democratic even as it becomes less relevant...
Which is not to declare a win for historical pessimism. My personal ideology is that it's a simpler problem to scale Switzerland (monarchism never took hold there, albeit with an assist from the V but scaling S would also involve removing the necessity of natural borders-- a straightforward task for Catholicism-infused Daoists*?)
One might also already argue that that's the rde of EU
