Is it possible for one of the three republics in Europe (Genoa, Venice and the Swiss Confederation) to develop into a monarchy? I know the two Italian republics were in a way like the papacy - squabbling factions headed by an elected monarch. But Switzerland had various prince-bishoprics, principalities (county of Geneva, principality of Neuchatel, the county of Basel) thrown into the mix.

Could we see a Longueville of Neuchatel (perhaps, IDK of other Swiss noble families - if they work better, use them) take on a Nassau role in creating a sort of Helvetic Monarchy?
