Retaining monarchy would've done wonders to China in the long run, provided the right man is doing it. Kang Youwei was maybe a xenophobic asshole, but that couldn't be helped back then, and he was the most level headed and experienced figure around.

Even I wouldn't mind so much living under the reign of Queen Beatrix provided we're Australia independent.
What about Nepal?
