[TheBeanieBaron]

What happened to the Hapsburgs that caused Napoleon II to become Emperor of Austria?

 

[Kaiser Bill]

Essentially, Napoleon II, who was close with Francis II, bullied/persuaded him into letting him become Emperor while his descendants retained the Archduchy of Austria and were Princes of Hungary.

After the nationalist Nation's Future Party swept the Egyptian Parliament in 2020, they promised to hold a referendum on whether Napoleon VII should remain as Pharaoh of Egypt. The Bonaparte family has reigned in Egypt since 1817, overthrowing Muhammad Ali, and has generally been liked by the people. However, in the past few decades there has been increasing debate about why a Napoleon still reigns in Cairo. Therefore, Prime Minister Abdel-Wahab Abdel-Razeq has called a referendum on the future of the Egyptian Monarchy.

Is Columbia OTL's USA? If so, it's interesting to look at a timeline where America is a monarchy and Britain a republic rather than the other way around. Quite refreshing.

 

[Kaiser Bill]

Yes it is. It also includes Canada and parts of the Caribbean/Central American.

Thanks for your interest!

 

[Kaiser Bill]

I added Georg VIII to the post on Hanover.

THE KINGDOM OF SARDINIA
Rennu de Sardigna
The capital of Sardinia is Cagliari which is also its largest city.
The official languages are French, Sardinian, Italian, and Latin.
The Kingdom has a population of around 1.6 million, mainly Sardinians but it has a significant Italian minority. The majority of the nation is Roman Catholic.
Sardinia is an semi-autonomous constitutional monarchy within United Europa. This means that it has its own parliament, its own currency, and a Premier. Unfortunately, for Sardinians but not for the House of Bernadotte, the Kingdom is a semi-absolute monarchy. The monarch has near unilateral powers over law, justice, and anything in between.
The Kingdom also has a space force.

List of Monarchs of Sardinia​

Giulio I: 1810-1844, l. 1763-1844, Marshal of the French Empire
Oscar: 1844-1859, l. 1799-1859, son of Giulio I
Leonidas I: 1859-1872, l. 1821-1872, son of Oscar
Leonidas II: 1872-1935, l. 1852-1935, son of Leonidas I
Giulio II: 1935-1942, l. 1871-1942, son of Leonidas II
Giulio III: 1942-1991, l. 1901-1991, son of Giulio II
Giulio IV: 1991-1997, l. 1932-1997, son of Giulio III
Leonidas III: 1997-, l. 1972-, son of Giulio IV

---

Leonidas III (Leonidas Giulio Oscar Augusto; born 19 December 1972) is the Prince of the Kingdom of Sardinia, assuming the throne as the eighth monarch since Giulio I on 6 October 1997 due to the death of his father, Giulio IV, of gout and worms. Leonidas is perhaps the least interesting of the monarchs we've encountered so far. He married an Austrian heiress and had a son eighteen months later. He bought a mega yacht and sails around the Mediterranean annoying his cousins. Anyway, Leonidas III is a billionaire monarch who has near absolute powers over the island of Sardinia. One slightly more interesting thing about Leonidas III is that he is, as of November 2022, the only head of state in the world to have been on the Moon. Yes, Leonidas checked that off back in 2018 when he visited Nova Roma Base in Copernicus Crater.

 

[Kaiser Bill]

As none of the three options have secured the required 50.1% of the vote, the referendum continues to a second round. A republic has been eliminated from the running and so the Bonaparte and Muhammad Ali dynasties are the two remaining options.
