DBWI: Napoleon crowns himself.

HIM Dogson

What changes?

Honestly, what does? Madame Consul Louisa Bonaparte heads the French Republic; her son is going to succeed her. When the Bonapartes have been voted out they've had enough influence to be monarchs in all but name. At least the Qing in Beijing are honest about who they are. As for me, the French Revolution died with Robespierre. The Bonapartes are a royal family that don't call themselves that, and its been a truly effective strategy for oppressing the masses.

Assuming this title also had broader implications like removing title-related problems with the Hapsburgs (and the Russians as well because they got Bessarabia and Bulgaria without any fighting). The "Eastern" twist also played certain role in calming down the Brits by underscoring an alleged intent to concentrate on the areas about which nobody at that time was giving a damn instead of meddling in Germany and trying to dominate the whole continental Europe.

Also even though Basileus was historically a monarchical title , Napoleon's revival of the office made it more like the Greek version of the French Consul. Maybe a monarchic Napoleon could make the title more like it was during the time of the first Byzantine Empire.

The family of Napoleon at one or the other time ruled All of Europe between Russia and Britain. Monarchs in all but name.
